Sunday

Outfit: Shakedown Street

Happy Sunday! This is part two of a series Nathan Adhikari and I shot in Summer 2021. It's unreal to think these haven't been shared, yet. It's kind of like a Chicago time capsule. After shooting at a park in Wilmette, Illinois, we made our way to Lake Michigan. I changed my outfit- and I don't remember how/ where I even did that! I really miss living by a huge lake, as I am now living in St. Louis, Missouri. I am a bit landlocked now, haha!
Outfit Details: Dress: Unique Vintage
Pink Wig: Star Style Wigs
Hat & jewelry: vintage
Heels: Butrich 
Sunglasses: Borrowed from Nadia :)

Thursday

Outfit: Confetti Day

On a sunny day in May 2021, Nathan Adhikari and I rented a car and made our way out to Whilmette, Illinois in Chicagoland and we had such a fun day shooting two looks in the park and at the beach. We have been friends now over 10 years and his influence on my life has been larger than I could have ever imagined. Thank you, Nathan and Sarah for including me in your life.. I am humbled by your generosity and kindness! 
If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you might know I name my outfits after some of my favorite songs. This outfit is named Confetti Day after a song by Hot Chocolate. I bought the whole LP a year ago and have loved the band ever since.
Much has changed in my life in the last couple of years since the pandemic.. I started attending college (again!) for Diagnostic Ultrasound and now I currently work for the last two years at Barnes Jewish Hospital in the abdomen and small parts department and I love it. I have completely changed my life and added more talents to my arsenal. I still love arranging flowers, styling fashion shoots, photography, sewing and painting. I find myself yearning to tackle more of these adventures now that I have broken into the healthcare world, but I don't see myself ever stopping ultrasound. What a cool job to investigate the pathology or lack thereof of humans' bodies. I love being able to answer the question of why someone has pain. It is so satisfying to be useful in this way to people. I truly love what I do and I love that I have all these creative hobbies from going to "finishing school" I like to call it. LOL

Outfit: Florida Keys Christmas

Traveling to the Florida Keys is a tradition in my family as you might have noticed... and after the year 2020 presented I decided to take my ticket and just go for it. I spent Thanksgiving alone while everyone else seemed to gather with their families. I did my best to always wear my mask and stay away from other people. It was so incredibly nice to be in the sun and swim in a heated pool. Seeing the palm trees and iguanas roaming around is also always a favorite part for me. I am really thankful I was able to spend the holiday with my parents seeing beautiful nature and we were able to eat our meals outside while distancing ourselves.
Happy New Year!
