Recently, there was a carnival on campus, and of course I just had to go. I mean, there was a fun slide and everything! The whole thing was kind of small, but hey, it's college and it's not everyday that they set up a mini fair in a random parking lot. So I made the most of it, eating all the fried food in sight and being a regular at the fun slide. And we can't forget stopping every two seconds to take an "Instagram-worthy" picture... Anyways, I was planning to show you guys a cute outfit with the carnival as a background, but ladies... It was so hot outside and my outfit (and my face) was just totally not on point. So you'll just have to settle for these pictures I took of everything but myself haha! I just realized how much I love photographing random things. It's really inspiring, and I think that even though it isn't directly related to fashion, you can be inspired by all the patterns, colors, and composition. It's all art. And with that, I'm back to my studies! I'll talk to you guys soon, have a fabulous day!

I found the cutest little boutique a few weeks ago! It's called "Be. Dainty." and I just wanted to buy every single item... I better get a job first though. The boutique is actually online but the owner, Kristin, occasionally has little pop up stands which are super super adorable! I just love seeing little shops like this because sometimes you can find unique pieces that are not in any other stores. You can also find items that have a much higher level of taste and quality. Although it may be a bit more expensive, I think it's work it because they will last much longer than a shirt from Forever 21. My mom and I literally passed by her stand about five different times haha, there were just so many garments and accessories we loved,  especially the jacket that Kristin was wearing! Anyways, just wanted to share this find with you! Hope you like it, and definitely check them out online! Have a fabulous day!
