Don't wear yellow because you're yellow.

I love shooting outdoors. Wind in my face and natural light. It's like the Universe bringing it all together for the perfect shot. 

This is my favorite look from the series I shot with Luke Rieke. I shared a sneak peek last week and we've got a bunch more coming so make sure to stay tuned. 

Los Angeles has so much character. Sometimes I forget how big this city is. So many souls, so many stories. Everyone busy and just trying to survive. 

I love this UNIF sweater Katie styled me in, I would never think to wear it or buy something like this because it's so bold. But it feels quite empowering. Maybe I should start wearing more primary colors. 

Someone once told me I shouldn't wear yellow because I'm yellow and it's not going to be flattering on me. I think I might disagree. I might actually like yellow on me. Sometimes it's best to take someone else's opinion with a grain of salt. 

I'm working on listening to myself more and caring less about the opinion of others. Especially when it's racist, I'm not actually yellow. I think I hear things like this so often it doesn't even phase me anymore. I don't think that's a good thing, it shouldn't be normal.

Took me 30 years to be comfortable in my own skin and most my life I felt like I was an alien. I never felt like I fit in or I belonged. I'm not sure when that started to change but I know the last few years have been about embracing who I am. Loving myself, even the flaws. 

Don't judge yourself because you're different. 

This skirt from Stylenanda is so fun, the silver grommets are everything! Also another piece I would not gravitate towards naturally! This is why Katie is so good and so necessary. 

I love this shot of my feet dangling but now I wish I could clean my shoes. I always struggle keeping my white sneakers clean. Probably because I wear them every day.
