For the love of my camera!

Back to the update...for christmas I got a camera! Yay! I was really excited because oh so much I really wanted one for the longest time {probably for two years until they really took me serious that I wanted one haha}..And then...then...I got it as a gift

 -paste a moment of excitement & joy here- 

Okay so was that necessary?...Indeed! 

Aside that I just answered my own question, I really meant to express my emotions. sorry.

So last Friday I went to take pictures to test out my camera and 

as the more time I spent behind the camera {& in front too}, I loved it even more. 

I'll be posting up pictures I took that day soon!

Update

It's been so long since I last posted a post (hmm..sounds weird) on the blog and it's been really hard to catch up on things and balancing my life & blogging. Right when I came back from winter break, it's been literally nothing but books to study for finals sooo it's been around a month. Right now I'm trying not to fall asleep as I'm typing this, but this week, especially, has been hectic studying like crazy for finals that took place yesterday and today (the last day thankfully!) with three to four hours of sleep. With notes after notes it was hard not to fall asleep and quit, yet I had nothing more left than that little determination I had deeply buried inside me. I'm serious I still have a huge stress bump on one side of the back of my neck, you know that part where your neck and head meet. Anyways, what I'm trying to get to this is that no one else is going to push you to your dreams, your goals, that future you always dreamed of, but yourself. Yes, yourself. You have to believe that you can do this and face the challenges life puts you in because they are what makes you stronger! Think about it, others anywhere in the country,world,universe have it worse than you. 

"You will succeed to the degree of determination you put forth." 

Oh, and happy new years! ...more to come on that.

Shoes Delight

Recently I've really loved these shoes for their comfty-ness & unique color mix. I have seen these made by different brands but I just love the ones Dolce Vita made which happens to be these. This is not meant to be sponsored but instead I'm just expressing how comfortable these shoes are and how they have a unique style. + They are suede :) , although they can get ruined in the rain. Anyways love these shoes, my new fav.
Btw, it's the last friday of the YEAR! 

If only...

Someday I wish to own a camera like the one pictured above so then I could capture every special moment that occurs in my life. Everyone has a different perspective on capturing the right moment, everyone has a keen eye, everyone sees something different behind the photo. You know every picture has a story...a meaning...a sentimental value know one else knows besides the photographer...behind it. 

B&W

               

A few black and white photos from different perspectives. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!  

OOTD: Fallspiration

{yay for stache earrings!}

A little update...I know I've been long for like a billion years, but my life has been very very busy with sleepless school nights. Talk about waking up at 5am {the dread :o}. Well I know this shouldn't be an excuse, but I am honestly trying to find time for posting up on the blog. As for now, I am working on few projects for upcoming posts especially since the holidays are right around the corner {seriously they're like here, here}. Anyways, I leave this to the end by posting up a recent outfit I just wore. Can you tell I was really inspired by late fall? 

Knit Sweater: Nordstrom

Pants: Zoo{something, something I can't remember}

Loafers: DV by Dolce Vita

Mustache/Moustache Earrings: Francesca's Collections 

Person: Me :D lol!

Thanksgiving Delight

*A really really late post 

This is very late, but I want to tell you happy thanksgiving! It's very funny how in this particular day many remember to give thanks to what they have or who they have in their life. It shouldn't just be this day that you remember to do these little acts of kindness to each other, giving thanks and all. I'm not trying to say I always give thanks to everyone or everything everyday, but I mean be very thankful for what you have and how you get to live another day with your family and loved ones. Yes, I mean even be thankful for when you wake up at 5:30 am and want to go back to bed when a long day is ahead because you have yet, another day to live. Try to make some time to just appreciate everyone & everything in your life because you never know when you are going to miss that one person{or thing}. As for my thanksgiving this year, I spent it with my family adoring each others company & man oh man, tell me about the delicious food that was there. Anyways, however or wherever you spent your day I hope you had a blessed day creating memories with your loved ones {even to those who don't celebrate it}. 

Warm wishes, xx
