Leather Leggings: Day

So, as my last post mentioned, I recently found a great pair of leggings with quilted leather detailing from Buffalo Exchange, and if you ask me, every girl should have a pair of leather leggings in her closet.  Since I find leather leggings to be such a fashion staple, I decided to wear them in two consecutive blog posts, showcasing one day outfit and one night outfit.  For my day outfit, I couldn't decide which of my favorite prints to wear; Leopard or Tribal.  This was a major dilemma for me, so I decided to combine the two.  With my leather leggings, I wore my vintage leopard top, and my amazing custom jean jacket from Rogue Wave Surf Shop in Charleston, SC.  Playing with prints is one of my favorite ways to experiment with fashion!

Deciding the location of the shoot was easy.  While trying out various running paths around Austin, I stumbled upon a sight that I found simply AMAZING.  I've already expressed my love for graffiti, so it should make sense as to why I fell in love with a hill consisting of layers upon layers of graffitied concrete.  Each slab of concrete displayed different artwork, and each told their own unique story.  After spending what seemed like hours exploring this marvelous hill, I knew it was the inspiration that I needed for my next blog post!  Enjoy!

Love Knows No Bounds

For those of you who know me, it's no surprise that I would write an entire post about cupcakes.  In my opinion, they are one of the best inventions to ever grace planet Earth.  So, when I was out shooting photos for an AW Magazine project today, I naturally couldn't resist the temptation to indulge on one of hey cupcake's beautiful mini-cakes.  The hey cupcake food truck, which I was assigned to photograph, is a staple of the SoCo food truck community, and I'm a huge fan.  Dressed in a loose tank and shorts (the only bearable outfit on a 100 + degree day like today), I decided to take a few pics for the blog.  I grabbed my Zara pumps which were conveniently laying around in my messy car, and got to posing!
PS:  I forgot to share some news with you all!  Besides AW Media, I'm now a stylist at Free People, which would explain my soon-to-be increase in amazing Free People purchases, thanks to my amazing discount!  We'll see if I'm able to save any of my paychecks... :)

Burgundy Lips on a Shoulderless Day

After a day of sitting in the AW office researching the fall 2012 runway trends, I was inspired by all things burgundy.  Getting ready for a night out, I paired my new vintage shoulderless cropped button-up with my UO skirt that goes with everything.  I added my comfy wedges, and finished the outfit off with burgundy lipstick for a dramatic effect.  Ready for a night of fun!
