Goodbye July, Hello August!

♫ Lucius- Dusty Trails ♫ 

(Wearing: Free People tee, H&M maxi skirt, Old Navy sandals)

I can't believe July flew by so quickly, I'm barely starting to enjoy my summer haha. Well I'm glad August is here, there are so many cool things to look forward to! 

I captured these shots in July and as you guys can tell I've been so inspired lately by shadows, natural lighting, leaves, plants, and of course the beach! I've been playing around with photography. lighting, and different vsco filters. My favorite so far is the J5 filter, it's just so subtle, summery, and raw. What do you guys think? 

You guys have any fun plans for this month? Do share :)

Hey Loves,

Here are this month's travel looks!! Fall is one of my favorite seasons, although it doesn't really come around here in SoCal :( 

For October, I got inspired by beautiful fall foliage cities in the US. There are sooo many states I have yet to visit to experience a fall foliage view for myself, in particular...New England states!  I get so excited when pumpkin-flavored everything comes around, along with wearing boots, scarves, and cozy knits. Which one was your fave look? 

Some of my favorite things to do are also in October like going to pumpkin patches, pumpkin carvings,  apple-picking, and of course....Halloween!! What are your favorite fun October activities?
