Desert Bliss

I'm back! Finally, it's been way too long. I've missed the photo-shoots in 90 degree weather, changing outfits in the car in deserted streets, and writing what ever I'm thinking on here in hopes that someone maybe finds it interesting. Crazy .. but yes I love it all. So the other day I went out to the desert with my roommate to shoot some outfits. It was definitely 100 degrees and looked kind of like the scene from a scary movie but we got some awesome pictures so it was all worth it, sunburn and all. And no kidnapping scares! I learned from Shaun (this awesome guy from Cincinnati) that apparently people get kidnapped from the desert all the time in LA? Glad I learned this after the fact. 

I promise I'm back for good now though so more posts will be up this week. For now, enjoy this one!

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Major Flare

Wearing: Citizens of Humanity jeans from Plato's Closet, Goodwill halter top, H&M hat.

BAM! Decided to pull out my old super flare jeans. Seriously haven't worn these babies in years. But they're making a come back .. trust me .. just wait for it. Its been ridiculously hot here in LA though so jeans won't be happening too often from now on.

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Bad

Wearing: LF crop top, Jet Rag leather pants, Forever 21 hat, Glaze heals.

Here's some more photos from the shoots that me & my roommates did not too long ago. I seriously love every picture. They were so fun. (Minus the 90 heat in these leather pants).

New outfit post tomorrow! 

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Breezy

So these are some pictures that I did for a shoot with my roommates a while back. My roommate Jess is a beauty major so she dolled me up and shot some pics to use in her portfolio. These are my favorites! 

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Bikes & Leather

Wearing: Jet Rag leather jacket, Target tee, Gap jeans, Converse sneakers (that I DIY'ed).

One .. yes .. more Jet Rag .. and two .. no idea whose bike this is .. but it was raining in LA today so me and Kirstie snapped some pics in the parking garage. More exciting news .. apartment hunting is over becauseeeee WE FOUND ONE! Finally. And it is beyond amazing. Seriously our dream apartment. We move in at the end of the month , can't wait to share some pics with you guys after we decorate! Now only loads of homework and job searching until graduation.

Xoxo for now, Carrie. 

Vintage Leather

Wearing: Wasteland dress, Vintage leather vest, Brandy Melville beanie, Zara booties (from Crossroads)

I've been doing crazy amounts of work for school to get my portfolio ready for graduation in June, I used the first edited picture in a project I was working on today so thought I'd share it with you. Hope you enjoy!

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Got Milk

Wearing: Zara skort, Goodwill tee, Glaze sneaker wedges, Fashion district beanie.

So I loved this skort (yes .. it's a skort) a whole lot more until I quickly found out that every blogger I know owns it now. However, I got mine in March with my mom before everyone else started posting it so I still love it. And FIIIIINALLY I have neutral colored sneaker wedges. They were my roommate Kirstie's & she didn't like them and they fit me perfectly so I traded her for a pair of my Keds. Best trade I've ever made. Anyways, spending my Saturday doing hours of homework.

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Lace & Overalls

Wearing: Jet Rag overalls & Jet Rag blouse-(borrowed).

Soooo once again my favorite thrift store in America makes an appearance on the blog. My roommate scored this amazing lace button up at Jet Rag's dollar deal Sunday's so I snatched it for the day. These overalls were also a score from their dollar Sunday's from a couple weeks ago. Anyways , I probably shouldn't share my secret spot but its just too good not to share with you all!

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Vintage Jumper

Wearing: Jet Rag jumper, Diba booties, Venice beach store beanie.

This jumper is my FAVORITE thing. Go ahead and hate it, I don't even care. I love it. I snatched it up from Jet Rag's dollar Sunday's back in the fall and it's perfect. So easy to throw on for a day full of errands and running around LA with my roommate. 

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Backless

Wearing: Backless tee c/o Borrowed Closet, Vintage jeans, Converse sneakers, LA hat.

So you all read about Borrowed Closet & how amazing it is in my last post, and if you didn't, GO READ IT NOW because you're missing out! Below is a little explanation of how it works if you're not familiar. This backless tee is one of the amazing items they have listed for you to borrow & it feels like heaven. Seriously. It's the softest shirt I've ever put on my body. And perfect for a lazy day like I wore it above. Hope you all go check them out HERE & happy shopping!

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

All Black Everything

Wearing: MUDD sweater, Vintage jeans that I cut off, H&M socks, Shoedazzle sneaker wedges, Chloé sunglasses c/o Ditto.

I can't get enough of wearing black lately, it's been my go to color. I wore this yesterday for Valentines Day because this sweater was my Valentine's gift from my mom , so I thought I'd throw in some red with my sneaker wedges since they haven't made an appearance on my blog yet. Also , I want to note that yes my hair has a slight maroon tint to it but NOT like it looks in these pictures. It was just super sunny so it made it look more red I guess. Just wanted to clear that up ..

Xoxo for now, Carrie.

Factory

Wearing: Tee c/o Wildfox, Skirt c/o NAVEN, Betsey Johnson tights, Diba booties, Gap hat.

Today I explored around the warehouse & art districts of DTLA with my friend Emily of StyleMap. It's been super warm lately so of course blog photos were a must. We found some pretty awesome spots , can't wait to share some more with you later this week! 

Also, some exciting news .. I've been selected as a Teen Vogue Fashion Click featured blogger. Pretty awesome. Be sure to check out the website.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my amazing mom today as well! Wishing I could've spent today with her.

Xoxo for now, Carrie.
