Spring colors

Okay guys, ready to talk fashion?!

I don't know about you, but when I think of spring, I think of pastels. Sure, bright colors are awesome too, but I never find myself wearing bright colors. I'm more of a mute colored person.

So this year, I'm kind of in love with muted pink and purple, and Essie helps me out with that! These are my 3 favorite nail polishes (from left to right: mint candy apple, mademoiselle, lilacism), and Essie is my favorite brand because they have such a variety of colors! Every shade of anything, they've got it.

Also, florals! In spring, you must wear florals. It just makes sense, since the flowers are blooming and all. This dress is from Tilly's, the cardigan is from Target (aka heaven on earth), and the bow is from Claire's.

Another thing I love to wear in the spring are flower crowns. They're pretty in right now, and perfect for photo shoots! (my sister was wearing one in this post)

That's all I have to say for now, thank you for being patient while I pretend I'm fashionable!

downtown adventures

A couple weeks ago my sister and I went downtown to take some senior shots. So basically, we were walking around awkwardly while people were staring. Fun, right?!

No but seriously, it was great. And I got some pretty good shots.

BUT, there's a train track that runs through the city and I suggested we get some pictures on it. Rachel didn't want to, and it's a good thing she didn't because about 5 minutes later, the train came running through! It was so loud, oh my gosh.

Okay anyway, the sister that I would put on plays and cover the whole bedroom in powder with (long story) is all grown up, and will be going to college soon. It's times like this when I wish Neverland was real!!

ADVENTURES WITH THE TRIO

Birthday bliss! I was spoiled yesterday by getting together with my two favorite girlies and having tons of fun. It was an adventure; we walked about a mile but what seemed like 40 years, took lots of cheesy self timer photos, and went to the dollar theater to see Frozen. Also, Kryn tried her first sip of coffee and cringed all the way through it! I was so proud of her, though. 

(Emily was obsessed with these leaves. I just thought you should know.)

(Also, I am happiest when coffee is in my hand.)

We had the greatest time! Hiding from people in the mall, happy hour at Starbucks, (half of frappuccinos!) and taking pictures of everything.

Thanks guys for an awesome early birthday! Love you much!

spring calls for a photo shoot!

Since it's spring and the birds are chirping and the flowers are blooming, Kryn and I went on a photo shoot! Note: if you're planning to go take pictures, check the weather first. Make sure there's not a 50% chance of rain all day, because that can screw things up. 

But luckily there was a 30 minute break in the rain and we could run out and snap a few! 

Okay, you should know that to take these pictures, we went in front of a stranger's home (a beautiful one, at that) and they were home. But, no shame in our game! They were staring, though, just watching us be dorks and tapping on the windows as a signal to leave their property. 
But Kryn decided we needed to take a few more pictures before we left. 

So we stayed, and they were mad I'm sure. 

Nevertheless we got some great ones. And on the way home it started raining again so it was just perfect timing. The rest of the day was filled with snapchats, Spongebob, and graham crackers with icing.

Moral of this post: 1) check the weather 2) don't leave when strangers tell you to because the pictures are worth it.
