Life in Style

When you have old pictures in your archive that you never got around to sharing-- Happy Throwback Thursday.  -Addison

Yep, I am still here. Remember that time when it was the first week of my senior year in college? Well now I'm three weeks away from the end of first semester. Oops. Talk about time flying when... you're stressed out of your mind with 5 classes and constant job applications and trying to find yourself and being a good 21 year old. Like I'm tired just writing that all out. Yet I have returned to the place I love, standing in front of a camera. Something about dressing up and snapping some photos just brings me back to why I did this in the first place. To capture my growth and change over the years. To marvel at the array of clothes that have come in and out of my closet. To document the places I've visited, lived in, and fell in love with. That is why I blog. Now finding a photographer and being comfortable in my own skin  is a whole other ball game but I can't forget why I do it. And why I think if I wa...

And so begins the second week of my senior year of college. Yep, you heard me right. Senior year . I made it to the last lap and it's a little surreal. I went into a little bit of a panic right before school started, you know the usual 'what am I doing with my life?' and 'I'm not ready to be an adult' sort of thing. Since I still felt confused and nervous like I have been for the past 3 years, I decided I had to make a change. Next thing I knew I walked into a hair salon and dyed my hair the darkest it's ever been. Ever. Never have I not been primarily blonde in the 20 years I've had hair (I was bald for like a year, deal with it). So I would say this was a pretty big change. I am honestly so happy with how it turned out. I loved my blonde hair but something about the darker hue changes my dynamic and makes me more excited for what's to come. Some people may think a small physical change can't make a difference but...

Today I handed in the keys to my junior year apartment.  I wanted to capture the view on the roof one more time before I parted ways, and I'm sure you'll all see why it's just that much harder to say goodbye. But change is good and I'm super excited about my new place, my new roommate and going into my senior year of college on a high note! Nothing beats that view though. Hope everyone enjoys the last few days we have left in July! Next stop for me..Vancouver :) ♡Addison
