Summer Adventures

Summer so far has been an absolute blast! I just returned from a full week of technology free camp, which was amazing, and am currently in Las Vegas visiting family. A few friends and I have created a summer bucket list that I am just dying to finish (though we planned so many things it's impossible.) From ideas such as cooking Pinterest recipes to diy craft days to starting up a book club, our summer bucket list has it all.

Just the other day we already started our summer adventures by going to the lake for a picnic. These girls are some of the greatest friends anyone could ever ask for and I'm so glad I get to spend my summer days with them!

From left to right is Kayla, McKenna and Nadia (then me) and each of them are amazing!
(For the fashion side of my blog I just wanna add that I am also obsessed with one piece swimsuits with a skirt attached. It frames my body super well and is really cute! )
Our picnic was just as delicious as it was random. We had fried chicken, sushi and a veggie platter that just hit the spot! After eating we played around taking lots of cute pics.





And to finish it off, we got to watch fireworks and have the perfect end to a perfect day! 

So my summer adventures have just begun and I promise to upload much more, from fashion posts to some planned DIY posts, I hope you guys stay tuned!

American Prom

So I haven't posted anything for the past two months and I feel really bad about it haha. I've been focusing on school work and my AP exams (American college level exams for high school students) so I kind of neglected my blog. As you can see however I am posting again! And I have one more week of school and then a long summer full of blogging opportunities ;)

Anyways, as you can see in the title I'm going to talk about Prom! I was actually lucky enough to go to two different proms this year, one thrown by my church and one by my high school. Both proms were both amazing and fun in totally different ways.

For my church prom I was asked by a guy I barely knew, I think I've spoken to him once... I hadn't seen him in about a year when he randomly asked me out of the blue. Needless to say I was worried prom was going to be awkward and terrible, but it turned out to be a lot of fun! I was able to go with a group of really good friends who made the whole night great!

We also had AMAZING food prepared for us that just made the whole night even better!
For my school prom I decided to wear the same dress because I didn't want to spend more money haha (btw I got my dress for $25.00 at Burlington Coat Factory and the shoes for $12.00, so cheap and so cute just how I like it ;) 

I went alone for school prom with a big group of friends and I really liked it! I didn't feel obligated to make sure my date was having fun and I didn't feel stuck with them all day (plus they only played 2 slow songs) so all in all going single was not bad at all! 

My prom group rented a party bus and we danced and sang along to all of the songs all night long, from the party bus on the way and in the party bus on the way home! 

My hair was once again done by my talented mother, I am amazed at how skilled she is without having had any training!


Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and I promise I will start blogging more regularly!

Finally Spring?

It is finally warming up where I live, and I am super excited! Lately we have been having freezing rain and temperatures and I am getting so tired of it... My favorite seasons are spring and fall because, to me, the weather is just perfect! I'm excited to finally show off some spring time fashion ;)

Here is an outfit I put together to celebrate the coming of spring for a party I went to the other night (although it was still kind of chilly when I wore it, hence the cardigan)
Dress: forever 21
I can't tell you how much I love this dress! It gives off a very classy-cute vibe that I just adore. You'll probably see me post a lot of outfits with clothing from forever 21. It has to be my all time favorite store to shop from and I cannot recommend it enough! 

I also love the shoes I was wearing that night. The design of the shoes somehow made wearing high heels super comfortable and not painful to stand in all night at all! Unfortunately I can't remember which store I bought the shoes from (because I know I got them cheaper than the price online), however I know that the brand name is Indigo by Clark. 

That night my hair was being incredibly difficult and I couldn't figure out what to do with it! I spent more time than I want to admit in the bathroom testing out different hair-dos then taking it down and starting over... Finally, I surrendered and asked my mother for some help and I was extremely pleased with the outcome! 
This was exactly the kind of hair I was looking for. Not too fancy and extravagant, but more simple while still looking like I cared enough to put something together, haha. Sometimes I forget that my mom is always here to help out with things (even small things like doing my hair.) 

So what to you all think? What was the best part of the outfit, or what would you change?
