Minty Fresh

Is it just me or did summer go by really fast. I feel like it was just yesterday I was packing for my trip to New Orleans. I must say it's been an interesting little adventure I have had here :) Good times, good memories, good friends...what more could I ask for? :)

These pictures were taken in the Marigny. It is such an interesting part of town. Each house in this neighborhood has its own personality; its own vibe and feel. There are pink houses, blue houses, green, yellow, and multicolored ones. Some parts reminded me a lot  of Ghana, others reminded me of an old, western town while some parts had this old European feel. Very Eclectic to say the least. I really really like it here! I wouldn't mind moving down here after graduation

I decided to pair my mint pants with a silver top and of course my silver and mint shoes. I felt like matching that day lol.

Well...I have to be up at 4am tomorrow morning so I'm heading to bed. I had an awesome shoot with Janine Joffe today so I should have another post up this week. Maria also did an awesome job with the makeup, I cant wait to put those pictures up :)

HAPPY MONDAY :)


Yours Truly,

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that necklace <3

I don't think I have formally introduced my really really good friend to you all. I mean, I have mentioned her several times but never really had a post about her. So here goes...this is Leonie :) and she is amazing and awesome and she is just IT for me. I love her to bits! She recently just graduated so a BIG, HUGE, GINORMOUS Congratulations to her...again :) She wore this outfit to a friend's graduation lunch. It's  casual but with a Leonie twist.

My week, in a nut shell, was amazingly amazing. I went to an intern event in Houston, met a bunch of interns and networked with some important people from the company. It was fun and informative so "yay!" to that :). Im back in Nola and I'm worn out from the week's events. I know I said I would do all the touristy stuff but I'm so so so so so tired. However, I think I might make a trip to the French Quarters tonight and then go for some beignets and cafe au lait from the famous Cafe Du Monde :)


Leonie is wearing:

Top: Express
Jeans: Zara
Necklace: Aldo
Shoes: Sam Edelman c/o Nordstrom
Bag: Aldo
Lipstick: MAC "rebel"

It's Sunday :( and that means tomorrow is Monday....obviously. As much as it pains me say, HAPPY MONDAY :)

Night To Day

Pictures were all taken in one of the dorms on campus :)

H&M has a way of surprising me  :)

I know you may not be able to tell because of poor lighting but its neon pink and not orange

 First of all, I would like to apologize for the horrendous lighting in the pictures! This was taken on Saturday and it was impossible to do any shoots in natural light - which would have been perfect for this - because of the weather but we worked with what we had! I decided to do most of my shoots on one day because I'm a student and unfortunately I have papers due and quizzes this week :/ :/ :/ you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

One of the trends last season was the silky pant which resembles pajama bottoms and even a complete pajama look (by this I mean, with the pajama top)! It seems to be carrying on to this season too which makes sense because Spring has the perfect weather to wear them. I completed my look with a black sweater, black booties and a black faux fur clutch. I also decided to wear my hair up for a more laid-back look to complement the pants, also, to draw attention to that amazing necklace. I would totally wear this to class. In fact, tomorrow I will do just that :)

I hope you like what I did with the pants. I was torn between pairing them with a white sweater as opposed to the black one, however, the black seemed more interesting whereas the white one was a little safe. Either way they both looked good, so you can try it out! :)

OK....I'm gonna get back to studying now :(


Yours Truly,

Casual Thursdays

 Killian Court on the MIT Campus which is absolutely breathtaking in the Spring. I cannot wait to have a few photo shoots there!

 Those heels are by far my favorite (thus far). I love that thin gold pencil heel and of course the leopard print

Again, these pictures were taken in the Fall of last year but I thought they were worth posting. This could still make a pretty good Spring outfit for a day out with the girls! Denim shirts, in my opinion, are  (or should be) a staple in every one's closet. They are certainly my go-to on days I am way too tired to think - and trust me, at MIT, there are many of those days.

I remember this was the first day of a four-day weekend and we were all pretty excited! I think I must had like 3 exams (quizzes) that week and I was a soooo tired, I couldn't wake up on time for the shoot.

Anyway, HAPPY THURSDAY

Yours Truly,

Marcie
