How fun are these? I love looking back at old pictures. Recently, I've started downloading everything from my Seagate Backup Plus Slim portable hard drive to Google Photos. It's an amazing platform that allows you to have free, unlimited storage as well as access to all your memories. I'm always one to have photos in multiple places (hard drive, laptop, desktop, CDs) and this is personally my favorite. My friend introduced it to me while she was transferring her own photos in the fear that her backup drive would crash (which it did shortly after).

It also makes it easy to organize your photos in multiple ways- by person, date, event, etc. Enjoy these throwbacks as well as my awesome taste in fashion from back in the day!

{Day Three} 6 Days of Denim

Image
The third outfit of the series is perfect for lunch on hot day. It's cute and a decorative tank and shorts will help keep you cool!   //Tank top (old)- American Eagle//Shorts- American Eagle //Sandals- Jack Rogers //Sunnies- Forever 21, DIY//Necklace (old)- Forever 21//   These shorts are the perfect length. They're also the only pair I bought without any rips in them!   The blush pink "lace knit" tank is a perfect pair with these shorts! The color keeps it neutral while the design has all the flair.   I got my first pair of Jack Rogers sandals this summer! I could write a whole post on just these shoes, but I've contained my love for now. The platinum color is one of the best for a first pair- it goes with almost everything.   A close up of my sunnies! I love the nod to 50's sunglasses with the slight cat eye shape. Also, I added the flowers on myself (DIY!!). While they're not my most often worn pair of sunglasses, the...

New Year, Same Me

Image
Quick throwback to 3 years ago when I started this blog! And … back to the present. People always have lots to say when this new beginning rolls around. A chance to start fresh, be productive, and to reinvent your image. I say, scrap it. The world seems to be in agreement that 2016 was the closest we’ve been to hell on earth. However, life is just a continuation. Unless you’re one of those cute, little babies with a January 1, 2017 birthday, nothing much has really changed. Here's to more blurry pictures and good times  For as many people read this blog, this post is as much to hold myself accountable as to give advice to the world from my point of you. Here’s the big idea: don’t change, just be a better you. That doesn’t mean you need to go on a juice cleanse and hit up the gym more, or put a little more effort in getting ready, or even reading double the usual amount of books. I’m just saying take care of yourself a little more. Capture the moment with Fujifilm Ins...

Cards Against Humanity with a Twist

Image
My friend Sarah came over last night so we could watch the One Direction movie, This Is Us, which came out last year. She still hadn't seen it! Not only that, but we decided to play Cards Against Humanity . It's a card game that requires four people or more if you really want to get the laughs going.     With only the two of us, we took a little advice from our favorite YouTubers! Hannah Hart (feat. Jenna Marbles) and  Connor Franta (feat. Tyler Oakley) dubbed a new, two person version of this game: Charades Against Humanity. I think this might be better than the original intention of the game. I couldn't decide whether it was more fun to act out or guess crazy ridiculous things! We took cues from the YouTubers such as "overall concept", "sounds like", and other charade gestures. It really helped that we had both seen the videos, so we knew what the other was aiming for.     My experience with the normal way of playing CAH is somew...
