' w a n d e r i n g '

This past Sunday I had the honor of working with such an awesome photographer. You wouldn't know that he's only been doing it for only a year and half.

Internet is good for several reasons and one of them is being able to connect people together. Not sure if he found me through mutual friends, but we basically met through Instagram!

So we met up at the Cummer Museum and Gardens. Funny thing is, I've never been there. I've lived in Jax almost my whole life but never really thought about visiting.

Maybe because art is sort of nonexistent in the city. Unlike south Fl, when I lived there for 2 years, all I wanted to do was go to the art district. I explored many art exhibitions around the cities.

Ok back to the shoot. I invited my sister to join me. We agreed that she would be my assistant for the day. (Cuz I wanted to feel like a real model, haha) She did a lot of BTS pics and videos on her snapchat. It's always fun to see it from that perspective.

So Marc (photographer), was incredibly gentlemen-like and attentive. He made us feel very comfortable. I wore 6-inch heels and every time we approached the steps he would politely tell me to 'watch your step'. He even encouraged me to voice my creativity and allowed me to make my own decisions. Thanks Marc for being so kind to us!

Oh and he even paid for our tickets to the museum! I had my student i.d and debit card out ready to pay, but Marc beat us to it. So I told him that I'll treat him to yummy food one day.

The pictures turned out beautiful. I do regret wearing neon. I wished I wore white instead, overall I am pretty satisfied with how it turned out. Hope you like it too!

Mad about Designer Bags


Why do I always go for the brand I can't afford! Ugh those retail gods love teasing shopaholics like myself. If I had the money, these would be the designer bags I would go for. I tend to gravitate towards the classic, timeless pieces. I like the refined and edgy look. 

Every girl dies to have this beautiful Micro Luggage leather Celine bag! I want it in black!

YSL, I just love you. Can you follow me home?

This Saint Laurent muted color bag drives me to happiness land and back. I dig dark tint colors. 
This is so chic and so appropriate for young professionals!


Ahh and the Queen of all handbags.... CHANEL! Every girl dreams of one. It's true. 
I'll own you someday. 


I never really cared for designer bags because I get the value of money and my bank account lol But these designer bags would be the ones I would buy in a heartbeat once I cash out my million. Haha I came a long way from quantity to quality. Now I get why people pay a little more for the quality in things. I currently still cannot justify buying a $200 bag, let alone a Chanel bag in the1k plus range. It certainly would be very irresponsible, personally for me to go out and splurge on a brand when I clearly cannot afford it. I like the idea of saving up for it. It keeps you motivated to keep working too haha. A girl can dream and have goals!
