daydream

Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you…
"I'll set my alarm. 3:30am." I told my friend Amanda at midnight the night before. She rolled over, and though we were both groaning and our eyes were droopy from tiredness, we both knew that our hearts probably wouldn't even settle down by the time we had to wake up. It really wasn't that big of a deal to be honest, just going to the beach to watch the sunrise…I feel like it's anyone ever does when they're down the shore or on vacation. But for some reason, I had a very special feeling in my heart.

We rode the convertible down to Spring Lake with coffee, Redbull, and muffins. The road was deserted; just her and I riding down the parkway, soft morning wind in our hair and barely the light of the sky illuminating our path. When we got to our destination, our hearts were practically pounding because the sun was just rising over the water and the lighting was unbelievably beautiful, dripping gold. We dressed in our Free People gear (courtesy of Free People Paramus, of course) and started taking our photos. Without further ado, here is what we captured.

(Again, all the details are from/by Free People). If you do want specific details, comment below and I'll try to help you out.

After photographing until 7am, we decided it was time to actually take off our makeup, get naked, and go into the ocean. It was so. Fucking. Beautiful. The salt, the warmth, the feeling of the grittiness and just purity of the world underneath you. I took a deep breathe and floated there for a while; feeling the waves underneath me and hearing the shouts of old surfers and the laugh of Amanda taking yet more photos. I know I've said this maybe 50 times by now, but today, I honestly felt alive.

Read some stuff, maybe took a cat-nap (barely), soaked up the sun. Since we had such an early start we were starving since the muffins didn't hold us over, so we went to a cafe to get a quality meal!!

After breakfast, our journey came to an end. We drove home, along with the rest of plenty of other cars, and unpacked with the excitement to edit everything. Again, thanks to @amandabellavia for taking some of these photos/being apart of it all and @freepeopleparamus. Both my very precious sugar babies.

Also, I made a new Youtube video!!! It's of today's journey (what else is new) but it's one of my favorite pieces yet. I think I might do more things like this, if you guys are into it. You can watch it here.

Don't forget to check the Tumblr pictures as well if you want! Enough about today, I'm sure you guys are sick of hearing about it by now. I'm just so content and I wish that everyone, hopefully, feels the same.

Guys! What's up!!!!!! Okay I'm sorry for being gone from here, but now I'm back. It's been an unbelievably crazy (but good) weekend. I've been all over God's creation taking photos and just being in really inspiring locations, which makes me feel like I'm having a truly eventful, fun summer, which is what I wanted. I seriously hope you're all living it up too and having fun!

 

We illegally snuck onto rooftops in NYC. It was thrilling and scary yet one of the most memorable, amazing trips I've ever been on.

Scariest. Shit. Ever. But yanno, do it for the 'gram. Tomorrow I have some errands to run and then I'm going to shoot some more Free People, yay!!!! I'm sorry I've sort of been weird on my Tumblr/Instagram, I'm sort of trying to change it up and get a new style sort of thing going on. Not actually, but it's just that Instagram is such a big part of everyone's life and I think we all need to take a step back and just truly create stuff that we like, not just to get likes. I've just been going with what I truly adore, not with what goes with my feed. I might start using some new filters (don't worry, it will still all 'flow' because I'm personally really anal) but there might be changes. Who knows, maybe their won't. I just wanted to get my feelings out because this whole technology thing can't ruin everyone's individuality.

Outfit details: J-Brand skinnies (ripped myself), Forever 21 boots, Victoria's Secret top, random black bralette, Coach bag

More exciting things coming this weekend babes.

monday hues

Hi! First let me say thank you so much for 400k views! It's lovely how this sort of was a side little thing for me, yet as I started getting into it you guys went along with it and actually like it so it makes me so happy. I appreciate you all so much, it's crazy. Let's not get too sappy now, so let's break it down and remind you yes that today was Monday. But for a Monday it wasn't all that bad…

School went by quickly and afterwards I had to run some errands because it's my best friend's birthday tomorrow! I obviously got her a present but these little bits and bobs were on sale at Anthropologie so I couldn't resist getting some for myself.

That's it! My computer is about to die and I really wanted to get a post up before I watched The Royals and fell asleep. My life in a nutshell.
