2016

I'm all in my feels right now reading everyone's 2016 posts on Instagram. I don't even know where to begin. 2016 has been without a doubt one of the best years I've ever had. Simply put by Kylie Jenner, "this year is really about just realizing stuff." Lol! But in all seriousness, I really feel like I grew up this year. I finished my Merchandise Marketing program and I graduated from FIDM. I was a social media marketing intern for an online clothing company, and soon after I landed a job at a well established company working in their corporate office as a visual stylist assistant. I'm also continuing my education at FIDM as a full time student in the Business Management program. It's so nice to finally know that I'm headed in the right direction, especially in my career. I moved to California to better myself and in the process I ended up finding out what I really wanted to do with my life. I can't help but feel so incredibly blessed reflecting back on this past year. I hope that 2017 will bring me just as much happiness, success, and love.

Goodbye 2016, you've been nothing short of amazing!

NEW HAIR. WHO DIS?

Before + After 

After careful consideration I finally decided to try something totally different with my hair. Besides an ombre back in 2013 and a subtle balayage that I kept for 6 months last year, I've always played it safe with dark hair. This spontaneous decision was sparked by my best friend a month back when she told me she could picture me with really light hair. Here I am, a month later with my hair at the lightest I've ever had it. I think the expression my stylist Hannah used was "Ashy bronde (a mix of brown + blonde)." I'm so happy with the outcome. I feel like my bronde hair definitely brightens up my face and complements my skin tone very nicely. I'm already thinking of taking it a bit lighter in a month. 

SWEATER WEATHER

Sweater weather is among us and ya girl is completely obsessed. I'm in love with exaggerated unique details. This season it's all about turning something as plain and simple as a sweater into a one of a kind piece that makes a statement.

Can I have them all please?
