Rest in peace Chester, much love for you. Thank you so much for changing my life as I grew into who I am, and thank you for always taking the words out of my mouth and detangling the thoughts in my head. Thank you for all of the times you were alive, and thank you for letting your influence impact my life in the best way possible. Thank you for everything that you’ve done, and for eveything that you still do as your legacy and your words live on. I have so much love for you, you really have changed my life. Linkin Park is very very important to me. This is extremely hard for me to even process…I’m in such shock.

So thankful for this band and everything they’ve done. I just wanted to look back at some of the shoots I’ve done with their merch.

RIP Chester

Mid-July, Forever Wild

I’ve had a weird case of writer’s block these past few days. Yesterday morning I got my wisdom teeth taken out and that was kind of a curve ball, so for a solid 36 hours I laid in my bed and tried to sleep and heal and all that crap. I think I did a not-bad job, tomorrow’s day 3 but I’m not in too much agony anymore. I’m listening to some incredible songs (like Homemade Dynamite by Lorde) and typing this and getting ready to take a shower and to also finish this blog post. That’s tonight’s itinerary. And it’s actually pretty exciting. I hate having to sit on bed rest for like evs but that’s a choice, and I’m choosing now to venture into the world even if my head or gums hurt. Ya know? I wanna show you guys this one test-shoot I did, I called it July because it was just so July af. And I know I have past posts like “New-July” but that could be some sort of new July or something but this is the pure essence of my summer, the beauty of 2017, the flowers blooming in my little boat of feelings–it’s a completely different concept. I used to associate July heavily with my ex but now I’m not even really thinking about her, because life is brand new and everyday is another conversation with my intuition and the blessings of my past, present and future. Or something like that anyway. Let’s get into the shoot. THIS IS WHAT LIFE SHOULD BE LIKE!

Just So Abby

Last weekend, I wore something pretty interesting. Honestly, the outfit was…just so Abby. So completely in tune with me, and that’s not a bad or good thing. It was a strange outfit and I’m still not even sure if I was able to pull it off, but it’s definitely something that I would wear and it definitely spoke volumes. There were some little pieces to this look that were really annoying, but mostly it was a super fun outfit and I’m glad I wore it. I only got a few pictures, but I thought I’d show them anyway.

Diary of a Shopping Enthusiast #3

I don’t think people even realize how crazy that New York trip was to me. My boring life, my lack of lust for life in my “photoshoots”, and yet I proved so many things for myself.

Okay, so first off: I was going to Teen Vogue in NY and so I had to pack up for the weekend.  So the night before, I was sitting there with Ally and I realized I needed to pack my clothes for the trip. I grabbed a few gorgeous shirts, with lace and mesh and all that jazz, just because I loved them. Then I grabbed some typical bottoms, including some bold pieces…and I totally brought those red long pants with the lace halter top and how the colors match perfectly its like crazy! I didn’t try any of this on before going! It’s amazing…

So I wrote that on May 19th as a part of this Diary of a Shopping Enthusiast. Honestly what was I even talking about? Yeah the New York trip was super cool, and yes it is cool that I ended up with such great outfits even though I just grabbed a bunch of random things, but I always do that. (By the way, as I write this it’s May 31st). Heck I mean last Tuesday I had to bring 4 outfits for my headshots, and all I did was take a ton of shirts and pants and shoes and put them into a bag really quickly because I was running late. Turns out I picked SUCH great pieces! My photographer picked out outfits from the bunch of random clothes that I had, and they all turned out to be dope. One of my favorite dresses (a cute blue one) went so well with my retro-esque floral chunky sandal heel shoe things. Hahaha it looked so good, and we found a cool alley and I can’t wait to see the pictures.

Fashion is my…favorite thing in the world. My highest passion, my favorite thing to do, my favorite thing to think about (other than Ally), etc…Sometimes I think people forget that. They see me prancing around in my photoshoots and assume I’m some wannabe model, or even a wannabe blogger. But it’s more than that…my FAVORITE thing is to blog about my fashion, but that’s because the fashion itself is so exciting.

Hey guys! I know it’s been a little bit since I’ve posted last, and I’ve been trying to decide what I should post next. I have a few ideas, but it’s been a while since I got new clothing pieces to work with, so mostly I’ve just been bored waiting for my shipments to come in. (I have some exciting stuff coming!) But I thought I would start this new sort of series called Diary of a Shopping Enthusiast, and it’s basically going to be me talking all about what I’ve been wanting to buy, what I’ve recently been buying, and also my super long wishlist of stuff I wish I could someday buy. I love talking all about all of this because shopping really is a hobby to me, like even when I don’t have money it’s bomb to just scroll through Nasty Gal or Sephora for days reading reviews and making plans. So continue reading to see what’s been on my shopping-mind lately!

Hey y’all, I finally got the last few pictures from Teen Vogue from the Teen Vogue Experience in New York earlier this month. I want to go in depth on all 4 parts of the event and tell you all what I learned, what I did, and the major impact everything really had on me. There was 4 things: First, the panel Q & A with some Teen Vogue magazine workers from different positions, then group two (including me) went to the studio to get our makeup touched up and then we photoshooted. After that, we had a really cool discussion with Amy Levin, the CEO & founder of collegefashionista.com! And finally, we got a tour of the Teen Vogue closet. SO incredibly cool. Again, this experience was offered to student of the Parsons x Teen Vogue online fashion class, Fashion Industry Essentials. You can REGISTER HERE and use the code “ABBY3″ for $50 off!! I learn so much from this class.

Anyway, so let’s get into it!

It’s crazy that my very second ever blog post was about a Lana poster I made. I deleted it because I got bored of it, but I’m back to tell y’all all about Lana Del Rey and the impact she has had in my fashion world, etc etc… So yeah, let’s just immerse ourselves in Lana, and let me take you on a ride.

Hey hey. So this is one of two different posts I’m going to be posting about for this trip that I’m honestly really excited about. This weekend I flew from my home (Seattle) to New York City (well…Mostly Manhattan) for a Teen Vogue Experience, which was like the COOLEST thing I’ve ever been to. It was a fashion event. If you’re not familiar with the magazine, a lot of it revolves around fashion, and we got to do so many cool fashion things. The Teen Vogue Experience is an experience that was offered to students of the Parsons x Teen Vogue online fashion class. (which you should totally sign up for, using my code to get $50 off) So they e-mailed us and let us know about this amazing opportunity in New York, taking place at Conde Nast (I think that’s what it’s called) where we could learn all about how to further/begin our careers in the fashion world, as Teen Vogue editors and other employees helped educate us. Everyone was so sweet, so knowledgable, and down to earth; TOTALLY worth flying to New York for. This is 1 of 2 posts, the second post will be all about the Teen Vogue Experience specifically with all the selfies I took and all of the photos their photographer took. (Still waiting on those which is why that’ll be coming later). The day was 6 hours long and consisted of a discussion panel with some awesome Teen Vogue contributors, a photoshoot with a Teen Vogue photographer and makeup artist, a discussion with the one and only Amy Levin (founder & CEO of collegefashionista.com) and finally, a look inside Teen Vogue’s closet! Such amazing things! Anyway, you can learn more about that in a latter post, but for now I’m just going to say that it was super awesome but it wasn’t quite the only thing I did for this trip. So continue reading to see the pictures of my trip besides the Teen Vogue ones, maybe they aren’t as exciting but it was still such a cool opportunity to be in this city for the weekend (it was my first time going!)

Christmas 2k16

Merry Christmas all! I know that last year I had 12 days of Christmas where I literally posted a different festive Christmas post every day for 12 days, and I was really in the spirit back then. I had my mini tree up, I did holiday nails, themes etc…But this year I just really was not feeling it. At all. I mean today is Christmas and I still don’t feel the Christmas spirit. I’m not really sure why. However, despite all that, I still did have a small Christmas, so I thought I would post about it anyway. I’m really excited about it, because even though it was one of the smallest Christmases I’ve ever had, it honestly was one of the best. Continue reading to get the details.
