April Instagram

Ahhh it's already the end of April! This month has been the absolute best. I've had so many exciting opportunities and adventures. It's also the first time, in quite a long time, I feel unbelievably happy and like I've accomplished a lot. I've made so many new friends, rekindled old friendships, and have been receiving a lot of gorgeous items from some really amazing sponsors (appearing soon on my blog!). April has been a breath of fresh air for me, and the perfect time to focus on what I really want to do and surround myself with all of these different and positive experiences . Here are a few pictures posted in April from my Instagram. Follow my adventures on IG here.

Starting from the left:

1. My beautiful friend Jade did my nails this week--mint green with yin yang designs. I'm loving them!!

2. A couple days ago I saw M.I.A. in Pittsburgh!! I've been wanting to see her in concert for so long and I'm stoked I finally was able to.

3. Playing around with the sunshine coming through my bedroom window.

4. This was probably the best day of April...my younger sister Corrina came to visit me in Pittsburgh! She was giving me a piggyback ride (typical) and tried to do a squat with me on her back and we both fell. Oooops.

5. Some days you just need to come home from work or your busy schedule and take a hot bath with a bath tub tea bag. This one is my favorite. I forget the scent but it smells divine and it has these cute rose buds in the mix.

6. It's Spring time! So clearly that means rain rain rain and Wellies all the time.

7. This is my roommate's dog Nico. He's an Alaskan Klee Kai and dreadfully adorable.

8. One of my favorite things to do on a warm evening is to sit outside with a tea or coffee and read for awhile. This book is called Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig and it's soooooo good! Wes Anderson's film Grand Budapest Hotel was inspired by the writings of Stefan Zweig, if you enjoyed that you should check this novel out!

9. I did a collaboration with my friend Carl Bajanas this past month. It's one of my favorite photo shoots to date! You can check out the full blog post here

Thanks for checking in!! I hope you all had a lovely month!

Happy Monday!

I hope all of you had a beautiful weekend. My weekend was insanely busy but in the best way, I'm actually really amazed at all the things I was able to cram into Friday-Sunday. I'm even more excited for this coming weekend mainly because I'm going to see St. Vincent!! I've missed her the last few times she's been in Pittsburgh so I'm stoked that I finally have the chance to see her. I'm also going to see M.I.A. at the end of the month and I cannot wait!!!! I haven't gone to any concerts yet this year so getting to see two in the same month is incredibly exciting for me.

These photos were taken yesterday while the sun was still shining. I was out all night Saturday so yesterday I tried to keep my outfit super casual and comfortable. I got this rad cat crop top from Brandy Melville last year while I was in Santa Monica. I love this top because it reminds me so much of the cat Luna from Sailor Moon. It's also super comfortable and soft! I threw on these BDG Jeans and this black cardigan in case it cooled off later in the day. I don't mind still having to layer but as the weather becomes warmer and warmer...I'm feeling less motivated to wear socks and gravitate to all the flats in my closet. These cheetah print flats are my by far my favorite pair because of the pointed toe and the metal detail on the front.




I wasn't wearing any sunglasses yesterday but it was so blindingly bright outside that my blue eyes couldn't take it anymore. My friend let me borrow her sunglasses while we sat outside and drank our coffees. I'm a little embarrassed to say that during the two hours we sat outside I managed to get a little bit of sunburn! It's messed up too because it's only on half of my forehead and side of my neck! Hahaa, but I can't really complain too much, it was totally worth it.





Thanks for stopping by!
