Winter Nights in the City Lookbook
Winter is an interesting time. On one hand, it's filled with Christmas joy, good tidings, goodwill, peace-ish (not really in 2017), and hot chocolate.

Another Song About California
Midsummer 2016... new hair, more self-love, and big ol' mom jeans. I wanted to do a typical self-encouraging, motivational "new year, new you" post during New Years but in all honestly I didn't actually feel that way at the time.
