So today I had planned to post some back-to-school street style photos I took at AU. Unfortunately, as I walked home from class this morning, I received a call from my mom and dad informing me that my grandpa had passed away last night. While it’s important to me to keep generating content, I felt today needed to be about reflection of this amazing man that I was lucky enough to know. I will be back in action tomorrow, but for now I need to give myself some time to process. I wish I had a photo of us together, but all of the family photos are at home in Vegas. Instead, I will leave you all with a song that’s been helping me get through this crazy time — a reminder that I still have so much to be thankful for.
Hello readers and happy Sunday! This morning I woke up to a text from my roommates Kelsey & Aliya asking if I wanted to join them for a trip to the Georgetown Flea Market. Although crawling back into bed and snoozing for another hour seemed mighty tempting, I couldn’t pass up the chance to go “treasure hunting”. I have always loved to thrift for clothes (I would say a good 85% of my clothes come from thrift/consignment shops) but I have recently developed an equal obsession with flea markets. I think it’s something about living in my own apartment now, I really like the idea of finding vintage art, home decor or furniture to add a little something extra to my space. Although I didn’t find any additions for my apartment during this trip, I did find a flower crown. So excited to wear it for days this fall.
While we were at the flea market, I met Casandra from Speak Vintage. Her selection of vintage clothing and accessories were amazing and she was sweet enough to let me take some shots! Stay tuned for a possible collaboration with Casandra.
Of course, the day wouldn’t have been complete without gelato from Dolcezza.
Now I am spending the next hour indulging my 80 year old alter-ego: crocheting a scarf, watching the rain from my balcony and listening to Harry Potter books-on-tape. School starts again tomorrow, so I am spending the last few hours of summertime enjoying the peaceful quiet.
Yesterday afternoon a close friend called me up and asked if I could take her ticket to the Christina Perri/Jason Mraz concert later that evening. I am not a big concert goer and don’t listen to either of the artists often, but I figured maybe one of the best concert experiences is one where you can completely immerse yourself in something new and unexpected. I had also been meaning to check out Merriweather Post Pavillion for awhile, so I pulled myself off the couch and decided to go. I was joined by three great friends and the night ended up exceeding all of my expectations. Both musicians were so incredibly talented and most of the songs were filled with ideas of hope and positivity. The lyrics felt like a personal reminder to focus on what’s truly important and one of my old time favorites, “The Remedy” by Jason Mraz, was especially powerful:
Here are a couple of my favorite shots from the night:
What concerts are you guys excited to see this fall? I need to start making a list of shows to see!
