Run Fall Run!

November 14, 2017

hey guys!

its definitely been a while, so i felt like it was time for a new outfit look on the blog! i don’t always dress cute while i exercise, mainly it’s just old one direction band t-shirts and whatever shorts i have clean, to be brutally honest.

but sometimes i like to put on leggings and an active top for my runs as it gets cooler. and since it has been getting cooler, i felt it was time for a fall outfit post!

here we go!

calvin klein sports bra

nike lunaron shoes in white with rose gold accents

zella running socks 

i am sorry the photos look so bad quality! it seems they weren’t as good as i thought when i took them!

enjoy!

Royal Court Tryout Look

September 10, 2017

hey all!

so if you aren’t new to macarons and must haves then you know i am from beautiful, sunny pasadena.

and if you don’t know, now you know (insert hamilton meme)

since pasadena is home to the rose bowl game and the rose parade every year the organization called the “tournament of roses” calls on all of the 17-21 year olds in high school in the area or at pasadena city college for being on the royal court. the royal court is made up of 7 girls – 6 princesses and one queen who embody pasadena and who the people represent.

since i am a high school senior this year, i decided to try out! my sister (who is two years older than me) tried out and loved the process and i thought why not! i have always thought it would be so cool to be riding a float in the parade – but the other perks of being on the royal court include a wardrobe by macy’s, a pair of pearls, a scholarship and proper etiquette and speech training. not too bad huh!

anyway, for the first day of tryouts roughly 1,000 girls (in past years) come in and get to talk to the committee for 15 seconds on why they want to be on the court. if you are called back, you wear the same dress – and go by your number, not your name so that the whole process is fair!

for the first try out day, i opted for my lilly pulitzer dress with my steve madden wedges!

and check out my sweet golf tan! lol – my polo shirt tan is soooo real! and my feet are so light!

i just wore my hair naturally – for me is my super curly thick hair and natural makeup!

i so enjoyed trying out and the day – along with the tour of the house was super fun, just dressing up and going and trying out with my friends!

i hope you all enjoy – and i will be giving more updates via instagram soon! so catch up with me there!

The Rainbow Connection

June 15, 2017

hey all!

whats up with you? so far this summer i have ran errands, gotten rid of all of my past year’s noetbooks and binders as well as gotten together somethings in my closet that no longer fit, or somethings that i no longer like wearing. i think its important to go through all of your stuff every few months in order to keep the stuff that you need – however now that i believe this, i am gonna be honest with you i have not done any cleaning in my room in quite a few months but its important that i do it now because before i go to college i need to get my stuff together!

anyway, besides my errands and cleaning i was fortunate enough to be able to take a trip down to paul smith’s pink wall while it is painted as a rainbow wall for now! lets get started why don’t we!
