gonna take a trip to laredo

My friend AJ was in Michigan visiting from Nashville and he had time to come visit me in Lansing! He's training under producer, Lynn Nichols so I occasionally hear cool stories of people he's been able to meet and the cool songwriting projects he gets to work on. He gets to live a pretty exciting life right now, chasing after his dreams! My friends do such cool stuff!

I took yesterday off since I photographed a couple for their engagement session that morning and AJ came to visit later on that day. It was casual day for me so I paired this striped top with this military inspired jacket I got on sale last week. We walked a lot around downtown East Lansing and on MSU's campus, shopping, eating and ending our day drinking strawberry daquiris. I must have been somehow exhausted because as soon I got home I fell asleep on my couch around 9 p.m. and around 10, migrated to my own bed and immediately fell back to sleep.

[cutoffs by levi, striped top by bdg, jacket by ecote, oxfords by aldo]
I kept my accessories pretty simple with the two leather wristbands and tiffany interconnecting rings. It's the one ring I wear almost everyday and it's my favorite I've ever given myself.I wanted more color with this outfit so I decided to paint my nails red!

These are some lovely magazine-quality photos, in my opinion. I really like the style of your jacket. Very casual and/but stylish, which is always fantastic.

I really like your curly hair :]

I love the cut of this jacket! I'm not really into the military anorak look bc that cut is unflattering on me, but your jacket is adorable. Also, aj looks like he has great style! So unfair, all of guy friends are either clueless or total slobs, haha.
