RED TARGET

Hi friends! How's your 3-day weekend going? lol. I'm getting a bit more motivated now since I've been busy and a day of online shopping therapy. Seriously, shopping does wonders to my mood, haha. No wonder why I'm a blogger, huh?

A few weeks back I had a chance to collaborate with my old friend Ivan, who happens to do photography on the side. It was definitely a new experience for me, but a cool way to branch out and get comfortable shooting with different photographers besides my boyfriend. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty awkward and unnatural when it came to poses as you can probably tell below, haha. A lot of people, were complimenting both Ivan and I a lot which definitely gave me more confidence. Have you guys started taking photos for blog with various people yet? Was it awkward? lol. ♡

 Night Watch Cutout Booties c/o Calico

Yes, I know you guys are probably tired of me wearing the same trend, but I can't help it! It's honestly the easiest way to dress during the winter. A basic tee with openings on the side, layered with a color-pop oversized sweater from Wet Seal, some "too-lazy-to-put-on-some-pants" leggings, and my signature wide brim hat and Night Watch Cutout Booties from Calico (which was originally $68.00 but is on sale now for $27.20!). I also bought this awesome staple necklace from Forever 21 just for $10 on sale! Seriously, I've been bargain shopping like crazy! lol.

POST-VINTAGE

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well. As usual, it's been awhile since I posted up a blog post (I'm so sorry!). I'm going through the worst artist block ever at the moment and it sucks. I just feel when I have so much time on my hands and I have so less to do, it bothers me. That usually happens when I'm not in school and/or working. It's something that I'm currently battling with and I hope it will pass once I start school again. In the mean time, I've been doing little baby-steps to help improve my state and make me a better person. This usually starts by creating 3 commitments at the beginning of the day and some how fulfilling them. My three commitments of the day was eating a healthy breakfast, taking pictures for the blog, and not staying up pass 11pm today, lol. Is this something that you might be interested in doing?

Today I was hanging out with some friends and looking for a good location to shoot at, and what-do-you-know. We ended up at our old high school! It was nice going down memory lane again lol. Also, you're going to see that there are a few pictures with this random guy in there, yeah, please do not be afraid. That is just my good friend photobombing me lol.

Turquoise Howlite Double Chain necklace c/o Crystal & Casings

Popcorn Knit Cardigan: Forever 21

Solid V-Neck: Wet Seal

Shorts: Thrifted

Tawny Boots: eBay (similar)

Today's look was inspired by my 16yr old self lol. I was all about the giant vintage movement (and still am) and wanted to bring it back, but without the thrift items. Forever 21 is having a BOGO free on all the sale items (STILL HAPPENING) and I couldn't look away from this knitted cardigan! I mean you can't have a vintage winter look without something knitted lol. From there, I layered it up a Wet Seal basic tee, Crystal & Casings Turquoise Howlite Double Chain necklace, my thrifted shorts with sheer distressed leggings, cute designed socks, and my tawny boots. I'm honestly not wearing much, but can you believe that I wasn't freezing my butt off?! Right?! lol.

DAVID BOWIE

I guess no matter where you are, day-night, summer-winter, my place or yours, I'm always going to complain about the weather. Kansas, you're super humid and you can't decided on what type of weather you want; California, when it's Spring it's Summer. When it's Fall it's still Summer. When it's Winter, it's still Summer. It's Summer 24/7, 52 weeks, 365-freakin' days. I'm doomed to stay in my room with the curtains closed and binge on old cartoons on Boomerang (I could have possibly just done that today).

I have some exciting news! I'm finally enrolled back into school after a 2 year break! I know when I read back on this when I'm near finals I'm just going to be like, "fml, I don't want to be in school anymore. Just get me Del Taco's chili cheese fries and strawberry lemonade and I'll be good everyday." But for now, I'm beyond excited. It's like one step closer to my dream job(s), I still can't decide whether I want to become a PR or a Buyer, hehe. I'll tell you guys my classes once I school is a bit closer, but I am majoring in Clothing and Textiles and then hopefully transfer to FIDM to continue my educational journey. Anyone else have major plans with school or closer to fulfilling their dreams? And any tips for my major, job choices, or just school? I'm all.... ears??? Maybe eyes is a good choice lol. 

David Bowie Tee: Vintage, Shorts: Wetseal, Fringe Vest: H&M, Booties c/o Heavenly Couture, Jewelry: Vintage, Sunglasses c/o Wow Vintage

So I've been diggin' the bohemian vibes I've been seeing all over chictopia and other bloggers like Courtney of The Style Playlist and Eugenie of Feral Creature, that it's just starting to rub off on me. I love the laid back look with different textures and the look of putting on every single jewelry that you own (that's what I did lol). Since it's been so damn hot, I wanted to put something together so even after  I'm done taking pictures, I can still go out and be comfortable. I haven't worn my David Bowie tee in awhile so I paired it up with some snakeskin print booty shorts from Wetseal, my booties from Heavenly Couture, and my awesome, oh-so-cool H&M knitted fringe vest to complete this casual look. I'm pretty sure this is one of my most laid back looks on my blog lol. 

Also, I'm doing an Bohemian IFTU for my next blogpost so if you would like to be featured, send me an email with your looks and blog name to get a chance to be featured! It's a great way to connect with other bloggers and get great exposured! So make sure to email me with the subject "Bohemian IFTU" to AlexisSplash@gmail.com. Can't wait to see lovelies! ♡

P.S: Is there anything you would love to see a video of? Outfit hauls, Tags, daily routines, challenges?

FOOL'S GOLD

As I said in my last post, my room is in complete chaos once again. My indecisiveness help create mountains of clothes, jewelry, and *cough* snack food. Speaking of food, I had Little Caesars for the first time in a LONG time and this may sound disgusting and really unhealthy but, pizza dipped into buttery garlic is like heaven! I was complete amazed of how good it was!

*Le sigh* I think it's time that I go on a diet. Just change my eating habits a bit..... maybe. 

Tank Top: Wet Seal, Cardigan: Decree, Maxi Skirt: Lily White, Boots: Mossimo, 

Coin Purse: Rocket Clothing Exchange 

I know, this post has tons of photos, but I just didn't know which one to post because I like them all! I just sounded a bit conceited, but my self-esteem level has been rising a lot lately! 

Anywho, my inner boho chic came out today! I've been dying to wear my Lily White maxi skirt. What better way to style it up with a graphic tank top, oversize cardigan, and some boots? It's a real comfortable look that can be worn for any occasion. I think this is actually one of my favorite outfits of this year!
