8 Outfits of Personal Style

Published by

It has become a tradition that my friend Angwi and I take #ootd pictures for Instagram almost everyday at school. It has become one of my favorite parts of the day. One thing I am learning about my style is that I like loose, oversized clothing. I like to be comfortable. I used to be the girl who needed to belt everything, but now I just find it restricting! I like to be able to breath and feel easy and confident in what I am wearing. Lately I’ve been attracted to tomboy-inspired looks, or a sporty vibe. In the past I was never a huge sneaker fan… but I’ve been wearing them with dresses and skirts– creating a  juxtaposition. I do like to incorporate femininity into what I wear, usually it’s with a statement lip, fancy earrings, or fun color and print. My Mom’s always complaining I am in her closet too much… but I didn’t realize until uploading this post how much I truly do borrow from her! Almost everything I am wearing below …

Modeling For Venue Magazine

Published by

I had set my alarm for 7am, but was alert and up by 5. Why? Because I was going to be shooting my very first magazine cover and editorial spread. I was anxious, excited, and so so ready.

This was the location for the cover shot. While the other model was getting her pictures taken, I received touchups to my hair and makeup and slipped into my first look, featuring a bright pink Escada jacket (roughly $1,500!). It was my turn. I was given the advice to be “dynamic.” A thousand …
