Up, up and away...


Hello My Lovelies,

Happy Tuesday! How are you all doing today? I hope everyone is doing great! In today's blog, I am going to talk about the photo shoot that took place this past weekend in the local beach. This photo shoot was probably the funnest photo session I have ever experienced. The day kicked off like this.  My friends and I woke up around 9 AM or so to do our hair and makeup. By 12 PM, we had taken off to buy the latex balloons at Party City. After 30 minutes, we were headed to our destination. The island is only one hour away from home, but since we talked the whole way; we missed the exit. Therefore, we had to go the long way and were delayed another 45 minutes. By the time we arrived to the beach, it was a little past 3. By now, we were starving since we had only eaten breakfast! My poor little tummy kept making growling sounds. However, we decided we were going to go forward with the shoot and then we would have dinner. Shortly arriving to the island, we reported to the condo and drop off our belongings and headed to find a perfect location to start the session. We soon came across some sand dunes along the way to the different accesses and we decided to stop and begin there. We had a lot of fun taking turns doing the photo shoot However, since my friends and I wanted the same photo shoot, we were sharing outfits. The only problem was that there were no dressing rooms to change outfits. So you could just imagine! We decided to change in my friend's car. Luckily, we took blankets since it was a bit chilly and used them to cover the windows.  At about 7 PM, we had finished with the pictures and headed to Tom & Jerry's to enjoy a delicious chicken finger basket. Yum! After we finished eating, we headed back to the condo to relax by the pool. Yay!!!

Tip: For this photo shoot, we decided to do a beach look; something natural. I had purchased this light pink maxi skirt two months prior to the photo session and fell in love with it instantly. So when my friends and I arranged this photo shoot, I knew this skirt would be perfect for this occasion. I paired this beautiful skirt with a cute white crochet crop top from a local store called Agaci. With a natural look like this, natural beach waves are a must! These fun waves can be done with a 1 1/2 or 2 inch wand. To get a more natural effect, you can brush your hair gently, so they won't look marked. Moreover, to place the cherry on top, I assembled this outfit with a pretty floral crown I created a while back. Ladies, this crown looks really nice with a simple crop top and they are really easy to make!!! On the accessories, a pair of light pink rose earrings and gold rings (cross rings are my favorite) will do! For the shoes, a pair of chestnut/taupe/nude braided thong sandals or cork wedges will work wonders. Pair this outfit with a beige cross-body and the world is your runway!
