I can’t believe it is 4th Of July weekend already! I am happily writing this post by the pool at my apartment building since I have the day off today (so thrilling!) and this is actually a little bit of a flashback to LI while also sharing some July 4th style! I realized as I was editing these photos that A) These were shot in March (guess I was feeling patriotic vibes early haha) + B) All of these photos had what appears to be a blue filter over them…I am thinking my brother was having some mechanical difficulties with the camera that day but nonetheless they came out pretty sweet!
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 Julyevery 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!
Today is a bit bitter-sweet…by the time all of you are reading this, I will be on the road for my big move to California! If you didn’t catch Monday’s post, I announced that I am moving to LA and leaving the only place I’ve ever known, Long Island, for a new journey filled with great opportunities and of course some adventure.
It’s crazy to think I will be leaving my family and friends behind to venture out on my own and really become an adult but hey…it has to happen eventually right? Well I decided today was the perfect opportunity to do a little flashback to a look I shot a few weeks ago at one of my favorite Long Island hot spots, Prime American Kitchen & Bar (during my college years I actually hosted there during the summer). I have always loved being by the water and soaking up some sunshine so hostessing there was one of my favorite jobs and not to mention the food was kindaamazing…(and by kinda I mean it was in fact amazing!). Ok so maybe I am getting distracted…I love this look and even more the scenic Huntington Harbor backdrop (hey maybe it’s meant to be I am moving to LA…there is a Huntington beach in Cali isn’t there?)
