Happy July 1st everyone! I can’t believe the 4th Of July is approaching (which is one of my favorite times of year by the way…who doesn’t love some instagram worthy fireworks paired with delicious BBQ…am I right? :p) Well this beach day look was actually shot back when I was still living on Long Island and it was taken in Huntington…one of my favorite places to go during the summer time. Looking through these photos definitely brought back some memories of home…and most specifically of how I’ve spent 4th of July every year…

It’s finally coming together…the apartment that is 😉 Slowly but surely furniture is arriving, things are being assembled and my stress is easing…now I am slowly getting back into my blogging routine (I felt like I have been MIA lately and have so many things to shoot which luckily my awesome roommate, Ali will help me with this weekend – stay tuned and follow along on Periscope *new app obsession + SnapChat —MissyOnMadison).
I figured I would A) Share this look I had shot back in Long Island before I moved (a little TBT if you will) + B) Share a little about what is happening with me now!
And this everyone is my happy place…Rodeo Drive…California’s version of 5th avenue with a lot less crowding and a beautiful temperature year round (I guess it’s safe to say I have yet to miss NYC huh? :p) I actually shot this before I was even fully living in LA. My little brother and I ventured around Rodeo one morning during our vacation a few weeks ago and I kinda forced him to shoot this outfit because yes…I wasn’t wearing ‘designer‘ on Rodeo but hey I think it still looked pretty damn cute!
So I may have titled this post ‘Black Florals‘, but after scrolling through all of the shots of me in this post I may as well name it ‘hair grab‘ since that seems to have become one of my ‘go-to’ poses while shooting new looks :p I am not quite sure how I always end up posing the same way (especially when whoever is shooting tells me to act ‘natural‘…my version of natural is being posed I suppose haha) but as I keep going through my iPhoto library I tend to see a ton of ‘hair grabbing / flipping’ shots #LongHairDontCare!
The past few weeks have been a little hectic for me which has in turn given me less time to blog, but rest assured once I am settled in to my new apartment with my little work area (complete with an instagram worthy set up of course :p) I will be back on track and writing tons more content (hopefully…fingers crossed haha)
Happy Monday! I am so ready to start a fresh new week after an exhausting weekend of apartment hunting in LA. Luckily after searching high and low I have exciting news to report…I found my dream apartment!! The building and it’s ameneties are to die for and the apartment itself is pure bliss…I can’t wait to move in and start the decorating progress (which I will chronicle here on the blog of course). If you told me a year ago I would start pinning away interior design inspo and then actually use some of that inspiration to help decorate my very own apartment in Los Angeles I wouldn’t believe you…well here it is…it’s happening! Crazy I know…
