Family Ties









I didn't realize we were making funny faces....haha
Me: Dress: Thrifted, Neiman Marcus. On Rachel: Dress: Urban Outfitters. Kimono: Macy's. 
I've been neglecting my poor blog this past week but I am back! This past weekend I went home and had a fun little photo shoot with my cousin. Up the street from my house there is an abandoned horse ranch, which used to have a house and a lot of other cool abandoned buildings, but have since been torn down. All that's left now is this little shed. I love going over there to take photos but Simi Valley can sometimes be a creepy place, especially in an abandoned field, so I recruited my cousin to join me. Luckily she's a champ and came with me! I feel so fortunate that my family is so close. I am an only child so being close with my cousins is great! I consider my aunts to also be like second mothers. I am really lucky! Here's a photo of my mom, aunts, me, and grandma after having giant breakfast. We always have fun little get togethers, I love them.


Now for the dress! My dress is by Neiman Marcus I found it at a used clothing store called 'Black and Brown' in San Jose. It used to have long sleeves and go down to my feet but I cut off the sleeves and my super talented grandmother shortened it for me. It's gorgeous and a great find! I love finding things like this because they are so unique and you can easily make them modern looking! I hope everyone is enjoying their extra hour! I know I am!

    1. These ones my cousin took of me, but the ones of us together was on a timer. I usually do use a self timer though, so I know the feeling!
