Not Blown Away

 

Do days ever go by insanely fast, yet super slow at the same time? That's my week so far. I can't believe it's already Thursday, and then again, it feels like it should be Saturday by now. I have tests and studying I need to do, but friends and home slices that I need to chill with. Maybe I'll grab my girl Andrea and go on another photo shoot! Although, my cousin Jessica did shoot this lovely set of pictures! The skirt is from Forever 21 as part of their Capsule 2.1 collection, which I'm IN LOVE with. I think that windy days are the best time to wear a long, flowy skirt; it gets you noticed for sure. And I'm wearing my always lovely Ooh La Luxe bodysuit again! It's definitely my favorite.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh behind-the-scene photos. So many blogs are glamorous and fail to show the hardships and awkwardness that occurs at shoots. I, however, am different. I realize that my life is not truly glamorous unless I'm dressed up for a shoot. I'm creating this post in sweats for heavens sake!

 

It's My Galaxy Now

This post is for one of my readers, Jesika, who said she wanted to see some galaxy print on Caged in Clothes. Well Jesika, here you go! I meant to have about three posts made out for the coming week, but I don't. I'm going on a mission trip to South Dakota next week and was going to have a lot to automatic posts. Unfortunately, my photographer and I were running a little behind and only did two, but the first was a bust. Firstly, I was wearing jeans. Jeans. In the summer. H-O-T. And not in the daaaang girl, you is looking fine sort of way, but more like the, my face just sweated off and the rubber on the bottom of the shoes is sticking to ground. So I only have this post, but I really hope you like it! It was a blast to shoot!

ABOUT THE LOOK: This look is perfect for summer days that aren't 80 degrees or over. It's for those cool mornings when you want to look hot. The leather jacket is super hot but the assymetrical skirt has a nice flow and breeze to it. Plus, with galaxy print being such a an amazing print at the moment, this skirt is a hot piece. I won it off of the rewards section on Chictopia and you can get it here if you fell in love with it as much as I did! Oh, and, if I had had them, I would have combined this look with a chunky silver arm cuff to top of the look.

What do you think is this summer's sizzling piece? Tell in the comments!

On this picture and the pic below, do I look like Kristen Stewart?

Showing my Sole

This post is all about one thing... my shoes. I LOVE these shoes. Have I had a chance to wear them yet... no. I don't really go to enough formal events to wear 5 1/2 inch heels. Anyway, this post is about my shoes because Chictopia is having a contest called "Show You Sole." I entered it and would love it if you all would help me out by voting, commenting and favoriting my picture.

The picture has a story with it though, or at least the shoes in the picture do. We had to describe what the shoes say about you and so here is what I said.

          "I love these shoes for many reasons. One reason is that they are gorgeous, but another is that they really describe who I am.

                  The heels are snakeskin AND black suede. To complete opposites put into one, just like me. Snakeskin. Wild. Outlandish. An instant way to stand out. I love doing all of that. I hate swimming in the sea of normal, I’d rather wash up on the shore of the bright and beautiful where they like to party and let their personality shine. I love bold colors and taking chances and that’s what the snakeskin says.

However, there are times when I tone it down. Sometimes, a subtle wave wraps around my over-the-top personality, just like the black suede wraps around the snakeskin. The wild is tamed, even if just for a moment. I get calm. I write. I blog. I am the black suede.

The components of the shoe are the same of me. I am wild. I am calm."

Patriotic

In every successful fashion blog I've seen, there have been something unique about the person in the shots. They have a signature pose, hairstyle or place where they take their pictures. I've been trying to find a "signature" for the longest time now, but without success, until a few days ago.
I'm in my photoshop class and we had to do a project called Many Faces of Me, where we had to pick 3 words then add pictures. One of my words were patriotic so I went home to take my pictures. I, of course, mixed it up a little and added a extra. The result was amazing and I felt as though my signature has been found: Lip Decorations. I will now have unique lips in almost every shoot I take, unless it's with my friend Andrea for one of her classes.
