I get lost sometimes

day 150

(Just click on the photo for realzies.)

This photo seriously doesn't do the sunset justice. I had a little bit of extra time after hanging out with people all day before I had to go home, so I decided I should get something somewhat decent in for a 365 photo. So I frantically drove up the mountain, missed the most spectacular part of the sunset, and after getting lost, just took this photo. Then I got lost again trying to get home. Oh well.

Today (pretty much) marks the halfway point for the 365 project. I seriously need to get more models because I have so many ideas in my head and I never have anyone to take pictures of. :( There are a couple summer shoots that are in the works, but I wish I could take photos of other people every day. Oh well.

P.S. Just realized I ended both of those paragraphs with "Oh well." Oh well.

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Twenty Nine

the dress: as shirt // skirt: forever 21 // tights/floral headband: diy




Wow, can you believe this challenge is almost over? Thank you so much to those of you who have already donated and for those of you who haven't, I would greatly encourage you to donate to the Batonga Foundation. They are a really great organization that provides girls in Africa with a full education. This is super important because when they're in school, not only are they learning to be able to provide for their future families, they are less likely to get sexually transmitted diseases and less likely to get married prematurely. They will continue on to pursue a higher education to become businesswomen and make a living for themselves.

Even if you just donate $5 it can change the world of a girl. If everyone who reads this blog just donates $5 each, we'll be able to give well over $500 to the Batonga Foundation.





Thank you so so much. You can read more about the Batonga Foundation here. Every little bit helps.
Thank you and have an awesome day!

Taken from the highway. This was on our way to an overnight camping trip.

For my new followers, the 365 is a year long journey where I take a photo a day for an entire year. Some days are conceptual shots, all are to remember my day-to-day life.

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Twenty Eight

the dress: as skirt // green dress: maurices // scarf: from boyfriend




This green dress has been in my closet since junior high. It's one of my favorite dresses ever but putting it on today I realized that I'm finally outgrowing it. :( Hopefully it will find a good home with my sister. And I wish I had discovered this fancy trick with dresses earlier in this 30 day challenge: folding the top to turn it into a skirt! Before when I wore it as a 'skirt,' I was just wearing a shirt over the dress, but with some not-so-fancy folding you can easily turn it into an actual skirt to wear over other dresses. Sweet!




This is probably my new favorite nail design. Tape is a glorious invention, especially when it comes to nails. And for an extra surprise, my top clear coat turns pink in the sun! (So the middle parts of my nails go from clear to pink. Awww yeeeah.) Good thing today the sun is actually out and I'm going out as well.




As always, I'm wearing this dress for an entire month to raise money for the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls in Africa by giving them a full education. You can read more about it here! Every little bit helps.
Thank you and have an awesome day!
