I really have been loving how things have been going for me lately, I’m excited about my life! For this photoshoot, I finally got back to the red hair again, and it looked awesome for this new photoshoot I did. I ended up doing another merchandise photoshoot, this time for a 2017 Macklemore t-shirt I got from his concert that year for his Gemini Tour, that I ended up cutting into a crop top because I stained it a year or two ago. So now it’s this cute white crop top shirt, and it looked really cute with these white shorts & white Guess sneakers that I have too! I loved the contrast between all of that white, my red hair & lipstick, and then my black fishnets. The red on the t-shirt also looked perfect with those combinations, and the shirt also had green on it so it matched my red & green gold Gucci belt as well. I also am excited that I ended up wanting to do this photoshoot this month, too, because Gemini season just ended on the 21st which is when I’m posting this blog post! The shirt says Gemini on the front, in the right corner, and on the back as well. Macklemore is definitely a Gemini, and his 2017 album was called that too. I’m a Scorpio, though, so I wore my gold ‘Scorpio’ nameplate necklace & my gold Scorpio symbol-type coin necklace with it as well. I used to love zodiac type of stuff, but haven’t been as into it as I was at some other point. However, it was perfect that I wanted to do this outfit & post in June, I love when things like that work out for me the way they do. I’m excited about how this photoshoot turned out overall, I even straightened my extensions for the most part and wore them kind of mostly on one side so I could show off the graphic on the shirt! I thought that was different and everything, I love when I finally get to wear my extensions again. I ended up wearing this outfit to the lounge Xtadium, in Seattle, for the first time which is basically like a club! It was awesome there, I loved it. Continue reading for the rest of the photoshoot & post, it turned out rad!

Back in 2017, I ended up doing this duo-toned blog post that I posted on my birthday, November 15th (when I turned 19), that I called Scorpio Season. I mentioned the link in the first paragraph, but that was pretty awesome! It was, first off, a turquoise & bright orange/Halloween shirt outfit that I did for Halloween that year, which was pretty funky (and duo-toned). The second photoshoot in the post was this cool, liquid-leather & dark-toned two-belt look, which I also wore that gold ‘Scorpio’ necklace to go with it too which was awesome. That dark look was inspired by Scorpio Season, and then I posted the post on my 19th birthday like I said, so that was cool. Then, one month later, I ended up seeing Macklemore live at the KeyArena in Seattle on December 23rd, 2017 for his Gemini Tour, and ended up getting this white t-shirt there. That was a cool coincidence, that I had just a month before done my Scorpio Season blog post, but now here’s GEMINI (SEASON) named after the shirt & everything! It’s cool that both of those two things happened in 2017, one right after another like that. I love that I finally got around to this right near the end of Gemini season, too, because that’s of course the time to do it! I have so much merchandise, too, but I’m shooting a lot of it as I go these days so I’ll totally get through more of it. I love that I’m finally getting to do all of what I’m doing though, I get so much done these days finally also! I’m excited to see what else I can do next, too. Let’s get into the collages!

Outfit Details for my ‘GEMINI (SEASON)’ Photoshoot:

• GEMINI White Hand-Distressed Crop-Top from Macklemore‘s 2017 Tour which says ‘GEMINI’ on the front, in the right corner & on the back as well. I cut this shirt myself back in like 2021-2022 or so!
• White stretchy tank-top bralette from the brand MAIDENFORM that I got from a friend back in like 2020. This is a cute bralette, I layered it over my bra & under the crop top, too, which looked cool.
• Sparkly White Dream Angel’s Fashion Show 2015 Demi Bra from Victoria’s Secret, which is one of my favorite bras. I loved Victoria’s Secret back then, I bought a lot from there around that time also!
• White denim shorts from the brand Vanilla Star as the shorts for this photoshoot, these are pretty cute ones too. I got them from somewhere like Goodwill or something back in like 2017, maybe.
• Black medium-knit fishnets that I got from Nasty Gal in 2016. I also wore these for one of my 2016’s Very Important Progress shoots and also in 2017’s Felly Concert Turnout & Give N Ch-ase as well.
• Gold & black, red & green banded belt by Gucci that I got for Christmas last year from my mom, also. I really love this Gucci belt! I wore it for the first time in my Yayo photoshoot a few months ago too.
• White platform sneakers from the brand Guess that I got in like 2017! These are super cute too, I also wore them in 2017’s Get Your (Stitch)Fix! & in 2018’s 18 Years of Ivy & it’s not u, it’s Me (#1) as well.
• Scorpio Zodiac Gold Nameplate Necklace $16 that I got from Urban Outfitters online in Nov. of 2013. I also wore it in my 2017 post Scorpio Season, like I mentioned, & in 2016’s Grass, Fire, Gone. (#1).
• Gold Scorpio symbol coin necklace that I think my stepmom might’ve made for me a few years ago. It’s a pretty cool gold necklace! Also, this other pretty gold chain necklace as the third necklace too.

• Gold circle crystal stud earrings in my second holes, these are pretty medium-sized studs! Also, three gold rings on my thumb that I got from Fred Meyer like last year, which are pretty cool gold rings.
• A red, black & gold sparkly cheetah bangle on my right arm which matched my outfit pretty well as well as an almost-white cream-ish colored rose gold bracelet on my left wrist which went well together.
• Crescent moon black, gold & pink anklet on my left ankle. This was my only gold anklet that I had left for a second, but I think I was able to find & repurchase my other lost one, finally! I’ll get it soon.
• Gold double crystal belly ring that I got at Spencer’s last year. This is my favorite gold belly ring to wear all the time, too. I also still have all of my other gold jewelry in, too, from Body Jewelry Plus.
• Poison Paradise by Sincerely Polish nail polish on my nails which I bought in 2015. It’s a pretty indie nude colored nail polish with peach, turquoise and holo glitters in it inspired by Britney Spears!

This is my third Boxycharm since Ipsy switched over their 2nd subscription level to the boxes instead of bags! I love that they did that, that’s pretty cool to me. My favorite item in this box was definitely the brush duo though, since I’ve already had a F.A.R.A.H brush and loved it. Let me go through all of what I got in this month’s June box though! The first two things that they picked out for me were the Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye Treatment by Elemis which is a good day-off eye treatment for me, and also this Pure Start Detoxifying Facial Cleanser by Goldfaden MD, which I think is a pretty good cleanser for sure! I love the texture of this cleanser & I love it at night after I use my makeup cloth. The next three products I got to pick, which is always cool. The first one was the Glimmer of Hope Shimmering Facial Oil by ClarityRx which is cool, I’m glad Ipsy finally had a facial oil to try! This one isn’t bad either, I used it the day I did the photoshoot, too. The second product I got to pick was the Essential Duo Brush Set by F.A.R.A.H that I thought was awesome! I might have a bunch of brushes right now, but I love my other F.A.R.A.H brush so I had to get these ones! They both can be used for blush but I used the Blush & Contour one for blush (so now I finally have a blush brush that is denser) and the Blush & Powder brush for powder. The third product I picked out was the POREfection Serum-Infused Primer by MUDMASKY which is a more skincare-like primer that I wanted to try. I like that primer, too, it’s a pretty good product! That’s all of what I got picked for my Ipsy box this month, all 5 products, but the 6 product included in my box was one I got with 600 points and that was the Just Slayin Lashes by Violet Voss which was a cool thing I was able to redeem my points for. They send those kinds of things with your box subscription which is cool, too. I thought those falsies were pretty, too, I’m glad I got them. Anyway, that’s all for my Ipsy box for this month, you can subscribe with my referral link here as well!

I love how this look turned out, I always love my red haired photoshoots every time but this one was also especially awesome with contrast & everything. I’m getting better with some things sometimes with my photoshoots and outfits, and even makeup sometimes, little by little but I’ve really been into all of it these days which is really cool. I’m glad I have the consistency that I do, & this year has turned out really awesome on my blog. I’m sometimes surprised at all that I’m able to accomplish all of the time with everything that I work on, but everything just keeps getting better and I appreciate that a lot. I definitely put in enough effort for this photoshoot and blog post & I love it, it turned out great! I’m glad everything been progressing and getting better in my life, and I love that I’m still able to get out and do things and get things done every day. I’m usually pretty busy these days, too, so I’m glad about that. I’ve been getting so much done all the time and it’s awesome. I’m doing so well like usual, too. The collage below turned out pretty awesome, as well, keep scrolling for the last of this blog post!

That’s pretty much the last of this blog post, that’s the last main collage at least! I thought that set of pictures turned out pretty great, I love it. After that, I ended the blog post with just a row of pictures, below, and they look pretty rad like that which I liked. I love the middle picture (below) especially, it looked pretty rad cropped like that! Anyway, I’m glad I finally got this look together and was able to do it. The red lipstick looked awesome with my red hair finally, it’s been a while since I’ve done that but this lipstick was perfect for this photoshoot! That’s pretty much everything, though, so thanks so much for checking out this blog post & my blog. I’ll see all of you guys later with something else soon!

Thanks for checking out my blog & post! Checkout the 2017 GEMINI album by Macklemore, it’s good!
