This photoshoot & blog post I have put together is inspired by this cute black tank top that I have that says ‘A SUNSHINE STATE OF MIND’ on it! So basically, pretty much every week on Sunday I do my nails because that’s the best time to do it, so this Sunday I ended up picking this cute Essie orange-ish coral-y nail polish named SUNSHINE STATE OF MIND. I’ve been basically going through all my nail polishes & using the ones I haven’t used in a while, and writing down which ones I’ve used for at least over a year & a half now on my laptop & everything. My goal is to go through every single one of them & use them at least once as I go down the list, and I have quite a bit of nail polish overall! I have like, a full rack of them plus a couple sets & a basket & a jewelry case & full of nail polish, but I used to have like maybe a lot more. I picked this Essie to use, finally, because it’s summertime & it seemed like a good coral-y orange color, & since I have a few orange nail polishes I thought I’d do this one in mid-July for this time (so I can do another orange later too). So after picking that Essie nail polish, I remembered I had this tank top, and wanted to wear them together because I thought that would be super perfect! So on Tuesday I wore the tank top, but I also realized I hadn’t even shot this shirt yet so I put together the outfit then wanted to do a photoshoot of it! With the matching nails & the lipstick & everything I thought it would be perfect, so I just had to do this one. This was also a spontaneous photoshoot, kind of, because I wasn’t really planning on doing this one yet this time, but I still made it work really well & thought it would be perfect for July! I even ended up wearing my Natural Desires choker & hoop earrings from Dolls Kill again for this photoshoot, that I got this month, which ended up looking really good again for this outfit as well. Out of everything I had, this was totally the most amazing thing that went with it, so I just had to wear this set again! I used to pick a significant piece of jewelry or whatever & wear it consistently, but I don’t do that as much anymore. But I do really love this new gold choker & it went perfectly with this outfit, as well, & it’s definitely a set I’d wear all the time too since I really love this one. I thought everything went perfectly together for this photoshoot as well, but let’s definitely get more into this shoot, for sure. Keep reading to see the rest of this one!

‘UNHOLY’ is a small photoshoot & blog post I put together for these cute booty shorts that I got from Dolls Kill in 2020, that say Unholy on them in that English font. I used to love doing photoshoots for booty shorts & things back in the day, it’s fun for me once in a while. These ones are cute ones to have done, too, I just wanted to do something like this again finally! I originally ended up buying Unholy for two reasons, one being I was still really loving Miley Cyrus’s song Unholy from the year before (which I thought really spoke to me) as well as I thought these were cute booty shorts. I have a bunch of different pairs of booty shorts, but I was glad that I got these back in the day! I love things like this sometimes too, but it was cool to do this one for sure. So let’s get into this blog post next, ‘UNHOLY’.

I’m so excited about this next photoshoot & blog post I have for you guys. I’m glad this is my second post for July, this year is going so well so far and I’m loving how it has turned out! I also did like, three posts last month and I might do at least that for this month, too, finally getting more & more done as I go on my blog. So I’ve been basically going to the club every single weekend with my friend Kwame since February, and I’ve been wearing all of my dresses & stuff & it has been super awesome! But now getting around to July, I was wanting to finally get a couple new dresses for the club & everything, since I had been finally wearing them all the time so consistently! This post is about one of the new ones I got, which is a kind of sheer black torn-up type dress from Dolls Kill that I love that they called the Basic Elements Mini Dress. I love this dress, I had to get it. My friend might be out of town right now so I haven’t gotten to wear this dress to the club yet, but I did this photoshoot since I finally got this new dress! I’ll wear it to the club sometime later too, I’m excited that I finally got some new club dresses. For now, I just had to do this photoshoot for Basic Elements, & it turned out really awesome, I’m excited about it. In addition to the dress, I also got this new gold heart flame choker & matching earrings, both called Natural Desires from Dolls Kill as well with that order. I think they both went perfectly with the dress and I absolutely love the choker & hoop earrings! They’re so rad & perfect for me too. Not to mention, I also got a few more gold things too, like the new gold cross lip ring I have on for this, I totally love it! This photoshoot turned out awesome & I can’t wait to get more into it too.

Happy 4th of July 2023 AKA Independence Day! I’m so happy I’ve finally been able to do another 4th of July themed post, my first one since 2019’s DREAM, but it’s such a good one this year. This year I ended up picking this pretty, sheer, almost navy blue long t-shirt to do the photoshoot with. The shirt has white writing on it that says ‘SHINE LIKE STARS‘ as well as a white triangle & crescent moon in it as well. I thought the stars reference would be perfect for this year’s 4th because of the stars & stripes theme of the holiday, of course. I also thought this long shirt would be a good next photoshoot after my last post, ‘RUN IT BACK’, because that was a long t-shirt as well that I wore like that. Different of course, but I love that I did one that related to that one, I always think it’s cool to do things like that! I wore the blue stars t-shirt with my bright red hair extensions, a bright red & gold bracelet, white sandals, patriotic makeup, & finally a sparkly red bra & almost navy blue panty under the sheer shirt. I thought this was a good outfit overall, definitely festive enough! I ended up wearing the outfit to Lake Union in Downtown Seattle with my friend Kwame and a couple of his friends, too, which was perfect. It was the perfect temperature outside and everything, I loved it. I even also did my nails really cute, hopefully you can see them in enough of the pictures but I think you probably can! It was red nail polish except for on two nails, one white & one blue, with three different colors of sparkles on every nail basically. I had three red triangle sparkles on my nails, too, which matched the triangle on the shirt! I even had my toes painted bright white, which looked awesome with the sandals as well. This outfit turned out awesome overall, I’m pretty proud of it. I’ve really been going through all of my stuff & getting things done! This 4th of July was super awesome, I’m glad I got to go out & celebrate it, the fireworks & everything were awesome too. I’m glad it’s finally getting to be more into summer months and everything, as well, I’ve been more inspired lately which has been so cool for all that I’ve been doing. Anyway, let’s get more into the blog post next! I’m excited about this red, white & blue themed outfit, the 4th of July is always such an awesome one, & also happy birthday to America too!
