Art in the Park with Momma

Today, my momma and I drove ALL the way out to Boulder City, a small little town right around the Hoover Dam, to attend the Art In The Park festival. Art In The Park is a yearly event where artisans and artists and hobbyists alike set up booths to display and sell their creations. There, you'll find everything from potpourri and scented salts to great Christmas ornaments and hand made fashions. My mom and I love crafty types of nick nack things, so we loved it!!! These types of things also always have really good food, so of course we indulged.

Here you can see that we ate a whole plate of deep fried potatoes that were so good and so oily and so unhealthy but no cares were given on this day. Aren't we twins?! I love my mom, she's my best friend and I had such a lovely day with her. 

We passed by one of the booths and a piece of artwork really caught my eye and spoke to me. Lucky for me, they had a smaller print of it! Mom bought it for me as a Christmas gift (which means I don't get it until Christmas >:| ) but I love it and can't wait to display it in my bedroom!

Here's me with it!

Here's a closer photo (I posted this in my snap story hence the caption lol) It so is me. I love shoes!!

Alright alright, I'll get to my outfit.

Monday, July 21st

Mondays are always super boring and dreadful (hello, waking up early after an awesome weekend? No thanks!!) so I decided to wear the newest piece in my closet to get me excited about the day. All of my outfits today (yes-more than one!) were a 70's dream! Here's what I wore: 

This super amazing romper is fromUrban Outfitters by For Love and Lemons. I'm wearing an XS. Bag// Gypsy Warrior. Sunnies// Zeal. 

The back has this radical slit that goes all the way to the waistline. The bottom of the shorts has a cute little ruffle too. And the sleeves are bell sleeves!! Underneath I'm wearing an Urban Outfitters bralette as well giving me that cute sky blue strap on my back. 

Before I left for work I threw on this geometric gold necklace that I got from Forever 21 because my chest felt so bare  haha. 

Can't forget about the shoes!!! These awesome nude colored heels are by Candies for Khols and are my go-to heel. Since they're nude, they match literally everything. Totally worth the money!! Nude strappy heels are definitely a wardrobe staple. 

Romper details at the waistline. Everything about this piece is so feminine and flirty. 

This evening, a bunch of my friends and I went to the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas pool for a dive in movie. If you live in Vegas I so recommend it-- only $5!! I decided to take this outing as an opportunity to wear my amazing Seafolley high waist bathing suit. The print on this is a dream and has awesome details like: 

Cute little cut outs! This picture better shows the pattern as well. These cutie cutouts were along both of my hips and down the edge of the triangle top as well. This suit flatters my form so well also. Seafolley is a great swim brand! (I kept my Forever 21 necklace on as well because it matched and I felt glam haha)  

A huge perk of living in Vegas: 

This was the view from the rooftop pool when the sun went down. So beautiful! There is nothing like the Vegas Strip lights. I've lived here all my life and they still enchant me. 

Today ended up being a really awesome Monday! 

Friday, July 4th

God Bless America!!

I love the Fourth of July because it's filled with explosions and adventures. This year was probably my favorite one yet!! Here's what I wore:

I am in LOVE with this tank dress from Forever 21. Its on sale for $11.40 right now if you want one too!

My sunglasses are a cutie pair by Zeal, available at zappos.com

I love the crochet on the back of it. Such a great addition!

I got this hat from a thrift shop. The original ribbon is just black, so I added a bow clip to where the real bow is. Worked out perfectly!

I spent the holiday with two of my closest friends, Cody and Zoe. We drove all the way down to the Moapa Valley Indian reservation because setting off the huge illegal fireworks is legal there. It was honestly amazing!! Zoe and I said it was like a DIY Disneyland haha. 

 Yeah, I totally had an outfit change in the middle of my night hahah. It was soooo windy and my dress kept blowing up! S/O to my mom for suggesting bringing a change of clothes with me lol. Also, I did a Roman Candle but was kinda afraid at the same time haha.

All in all, it was an awesome 4th of July. I'm so thankful to have the wonderful friends that I do. Let me know the highlight of your Fourth in the comments!!

Wednesday, June 25

Today, again, was just a casual wear day because I knew I had to do a LOT of things in preparation for college today. For those of you that don't know, I will be attending the College of Southern Nevada in the fall to get my associate's degree in Art, and from there will be transferring to California State University, Long Beach to accomplish my Bachelor's in Fashion Merchandising. So, with that being unnecessarily said, here's what I wore today:

Front and back (side?) views of my outfit. I need to start being ready earlier because I always take my outfit photos before work in the morning, and they always end up a little rushed. They'll get better, don't worry!! 

Describe a Las Vegas summer in 3 words: cutoffs and desertscape.

The shoes you wear, in my opinion, can make or break your outfit. Today was clearly a very Western-inspired outfit, so I opted for my Aldo ankle boots. I actually snagged these for only $10 at Plato's Closet- I probably saved like a solid $90! 

One of my favorite (and noisiest) necklaces. Its by Premier Jewelry, my cousin is a rep for them and got this for a birthday or something of mine. Also shout out to my nails for actually looking nice!!

Today, my boss let me off work early so I could turn in some college paperwork. At UNLV, I turned in my withdrawl form but I got SO lost trying to find the correct building and I was frustrated to the point of fake tears haha. Anyways, I got that taken care of and then drove straight to CSN to turn in some forms I needed. The guy there was so helpful and nice and I would shout him out if I knew his name but good luck in Med School whatever your name is! 

After that, I got home and immediately registered for my classes so that I could get a decent schedule. I'll be going to school 3 days a week (bless). I'll be going to school Monday and Wednesday from 4-9, and on Saturday from 9-12:30. 

Okay, enough of that boring stuff. After I did that frustrating stuff, Kamryn, Erin and I went out to do hoodrat stuff. Just kidding! (Sorta) Kamryn got her nose peirced and we all bought 79 cent slushes at Sonic lol. It was a lot of fun being with people that you don't have to feel self conscious around and can just talk and laugh easily with. Here's a really cute pic of us:  

That was sarcasm, this photo is actually awful but we all have our nose pierced on the same side now!!!

Anyways, what is your favorite place to go with your friends? Let me know in the comments (:
