CHRISTMAS FOOD

Food styling by Isadora & my talented friends. Photo by Blackberry Tour.

Merry late Christmas to all my followers♥♥

Here are photos of the wholesome & delicious food we made on Christmas Eve :) I wish I had the recipes to share but it's mostly a mixture of fruits (mango, peaches, plums, cherries, pomegranate seeds), veggies (carrots, salad, spinach), dates, and whole grain crackers with blue cheese and olive oil. We also ate food such as turkey & stuffing and decadent cakes & chocolate for dessert. I had such an amazing time with friends from all over the world! I was learning how to speak Portuguese & Farsi lol so much fun listening to our accents.

xxx tons of kisses!

DRESS FITTING

I recently did a fitting for a fashion designer's gorgeous custom-made gown. Super excited for the photoshoot & can't wait to update you all! xx

CUTEST PAJAMAS EVER

PJs from Forever21. Apple computer photos.

From my early Christmas shopping trip.. new pjs! Too comfy & adorable. The graphic on the white top says cookie + almond milk= bffs (best friends forever) and the pink PJ pants have the cookie & almond milk graphics printed all over. Reason why I say almond milk is because I'm allergic to milk and I only drink almond or coconut milk lol I'm so in love with these! Actually I can't wait to go home tonight and sleep in them. I have singing practice for 2 hours tonight & then I'm headed home :)

sleep well guys♥

Yay November! How was everyone's Halloween last weekend? I posted a photo of me as a "fashionable vampire" (lol) on my Twitter and Tumblr.

Over the last few days I was thinking I should make this blog a bit more personal. Such as posting webcam photos after I've got my makeup done, food photography when I'm out, behind the scenes photos, events I go to with bloggers/musicians/designers etc. Would you guys like that? I think I'll start & see what you guys think :) Message me on my social media to share your thoughts!

& to let you guys know I'm also posting my blog posts on Facebook. I will make a separate Facebook page for my blog & music soon - but for now follow me to stay up to date on posts. 

So much I needed to update you guys about! lol I am starving & making dinner now. Kisses & talk soon♥♥

HOW DOES IT FEEL (A CAPELLA COVER)

Link to YOUTUBE VIDEO (for mobile users)

Hi all! Last few weeks I was busy recording a video for my YouTube :) I'm new at YouTube posts, but I love it! This is an A capella cover of D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)." I chose to sing A capella to display how my vocals truly sound without instrumentals in the background..no editing & completely raw. It's one of my favourite Neo-Soul songs♥  & I had an audition yesterday which was super awesome! I love what I do so much♥ Only the beginning & can't wait to share my upcoming music & fashion creations with you all :)

Follow my journey with meeee xxx

BEACH DAY

Photography by Daniela Rossetto

  I'm wearing a bright pink portofino shirt from EXPRESS (size small) & tie-dye denim shorts from Element Denim

Heyyyy guys! These photos are from Canada Day at the beach :) This is the most casual blog post I've done so far. Next time I want to do a style shoot at the beach, it would be so much fun! My friend from Brazil, Daniela Rossetto, shot these beautiful photos. The sunset was absolutely stunning & the weather was not too cold or not too hot. I wore a Guess bikini paired with a pink & white chiffon dress from Forever21 & switched to a portofino top & denim shorts during the evening. A bunch of us stayed at a cabin and watched the fireworks, roasted marshmallows, BBQ'd, caught fireflies at 3am, & photographed the milky way. It was the greatest!

Today I practiced vocals & had a meeting with a jewellery designer :) Even though it's summer I am preparing for my fall photoshoots. Fall collections are just starting to come in & I can't wait!!

Hope you all had a lovely day. Sleepy time for me ♥

White lace dress from Ultra Pink (I'm wearing size small) | Nude Pumps from Promise | Gold Bracelets were a gift from a friend | Cassette Ring from Western University 

Throwback to last summer! This was my very first photoshoot :) Months before my blog was created or launched. It's so awesome to compare my recent shoots to my older shoots... it's exciting to see how much my style and ideas are growing & transforming.

July is my birthday month (July 4th.. I'm an Independence day baby)!! No joke I've been celebrating for the entire month and it's been amazing. Tons of trips, beach days, eating yummy foods, music/fashion collabs, and balloons of course haha. My friends shot some amazing photos at the beach a few weeks ago and I'm posting those next :)

ps. I'll post this outfit on lookbook, twitter, tumblr, etc. tomorrow morning. I'm in my pjs and so ready to sleep right noooooow (it's past 1am here)

good night xxx kisses

GRADUATION

  Photography by Winnie Lu | Styling by me

Dress from Michael Tyler Collection Montreal (I'm wearing extra small) | Nude Pumps from Promise | Bracelet from Shelley | Ring from Western University | Red Lipstick from Revlon

I've graduated from University! This week I had my Convocation Ceremony so I was on the search for a dress. I came across Michael Tyler's dress... it's absolutely stunning. What caught my eye was the graphic patterns and the mesh of black and white colours. I've never worn a dress that has fit me so well! It's like a silhouette. Definitely a big fan of his (ps. I hope you love my blog post Michael!:))

I'm extremely excited and very happy for my next chapter. I've been waiting for this moment and it's finally here. The ring I'm wearing with my outfit represents the freedom & peace I have in my life. I've worked my butt off extremely extremely hard to get to where I am now and the only direction is up and forward!! :) One thing I've learned over the last few years is that life is precious, fast, & short and you must always believe in yourself, love yourself, & continuously reach for & live your dreams. I want my journey to inspire anyone with a dream. I don't think many people realize the world is literally in the palm of their hands and every human has the choice & power to take action and live however they visualize to.

Lots of love to those who support and inspire me forward. Keeping my hustle on & excited to share what's coming next ♥♥♥        

Ps. more grad photos are on my Tumblr!

MEET ME AT THE RAILWAY

Photography by Matt Zhaoliang | Creative Conceptualization, Photo Editing, Styling by me

Blue Collared Button-Down from Bootlegger | High-Waisted Black Jean Shorts from AA | Nylons & Over-The-Knee High Socks from AA | Platform Booties from Forever21 | Leather Studded Backpack from Material Girl | Hair Bow & Earrings from Forever21 | Bracelet from Western University | Wool Scarf from SKIRT

There were so many "bloopers"/funny photos from this shoot behind the scenes haha! I was dancing and laughing a ton at everything (the norm for me lol), but I think reason why is because I'm in love with this outfit. Over-the-knee high socks & high waisted shorts have been inspiring me. The weather is finally summer warm here in Canada, but an outfit like this is perfect for the evening when it gets a little chilly. It's also great for the fall - really versatile for all seasons because you can remove the nylons, socks, and scarf for a summer day or add them for a chilly fall day. & the backpack!! Love at first sight. Material Girl is one of my new favourites. Every time I'm shopping I come across an item & I'll check the tag and it says "Material Girl." I'm just highly attracted to their stuff hahaha. More Material Girl to come :) 

I can't believe it's June already, really excited to plan summer photoshoots & music content. I've got my convocation coming up & a few more events so keep an eye out for my next update :) off for an evening run, have a great night guys xx

RAGE MARKET

Rage Market Fashion Show by Vanessa Natalia

I had the awesome opportunity to receive a VIP pass as a media guest at Vanessa Natalia's Rage Market Fashion Show a few weeks ago! Photographer & blogger, Winnie Lu, also accompanied me at the show. It was an amazing turnout & I had the chance to go backstage with Vanessa and take a close look at the details of her designs. She's an extremely talented fashion designer & entrepreneur for her age! Her designs consist of vintage with a cultural influenced modern twist. I loved the mix of materials, which were of leather, oriental designs, mesh, & plastic fabrics. Unique pieces perfect for this summer & fall season!

More photos from the fashion show are on Winnie Lu's blog: Years In College.

Oversized Sweater from Vero Moda (I'm wearing size small) | Mittens from Kombi Sports | Fleece-lined Leggings from Yi Tong | Platform Booties from Forever21 | Toque from ONLY | Aldo watch & bracelets/hair ties

Hiiii guys! This is my first post and I'm super excited about the launch of my blog! It took me over a week of coding and I'm still learning how to use Blogger (I'm a Tumblr kinda girl, so this is new for me). Will be posting a lot over the next few months :) & same goes for all my social media sites. If you're following, I'm so glad you've decided to join me on my journey! xx I hope to inspire along the way. 

I was sooo excited to do a photoshoot with my Vero Moda sweater! The tiger is the definition of bold. This entire shoot reminds me of the song "Eye of the Tiger," so old but best song ever (I'm rocking out to it right now lol). This was also my first winter/snowy photoshoot, and it may not look like it, but I was freezing!! My photographer (Matt) is aware of that. We shot these photos back in February when it was -10 to -25 degrees outside, and my hair was still drying from taking a shower (probably not a good idea? haha). My mittens saved me. They're actually made for snowboarding, so they're super comfy and warm.

It's a chilly spring in Canada right now (depending on where you're located), and this outfit is perfect for during that transition from winter to spring. It's comfy, quick, & easy. Throw on a gigantic sweater & fleece leggings & you're good to go :)

I'm off to do my singing warm-ups and prep for sleep. Can't wait to post again soon. Have a lovely weekend all! ♥
