HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE (Outfit of the Day)


Happy New Years Eve! I hope all of you are excited to take on the new year! Today, I took out my new camera and played around with the settings and all the different options. I love it so much. I would like to personally thank every single person who has supported my blog from the very start which was in August. I'm looking forward to another year of blogging and hopefully reaching a bigger audience!



Everything I am wearing today is new except for the scarf. I'm so thankful for having the opportunity to go shopping for three days in Chicago and embraced every moment of it. I really love big cities.



I apologize for the large amount of selfies in this post, but hey, it's the last day of the year. :P

Ghost of Outfit of the Day's Past (HAPPY HOLIDAYS)

Happy Holidays! My sincerest apologies for abandoning my blog for a short while. I have been celebrating the holidays with family and have been vacationing in Chicago. I really hope everyone has a had a wonderful last few weeks. 




 
I haven't had much time to blog or take pictures recently so these are some photos that I have been meaning to post but haven't gotten around to. They are from about two weeks ago. I decided to go out and do some photography before heading off to work. I apologize for the poor lighting and what not. However, GOOD NEWS! For Christmas I received a new DSLR from Santa. Hopefully, having a higher quality camera will enhance my blog even more. I can't wait to go out today and play around with it. I may or may not do a Christmas/Chicago haul. We'll see where life takes us.

 Pretty much this whole outfit is from American Eagle. I don't even shop there. How unusual.

What I'm wearing:
Shirt-Aerie
Cardigan- AE
Skirt-AE
Belt-AE
Leggings-HUE
Gold Bangle- Charming Charlies
Watch- Relic


HAPPY HOLIDAYS~ LOVE, THE NATIVE NONCONFORMIST 

P.S. A really great Christmas present would be to help me reach 2000 views. We have less than 500 to go! Please share my blog with facebook, friends, twitter, pinterest, tumblr, instagram, ANYTHING! Much love! XOXO

The Most Beautiful Music in the World













I find often times, what music you listen to says a lot about your character. What the music I listen to says about me, I'm not quite sure. But, I do know that every song listed here is absolutely stunning and should be given the chance of becoming one of your favorite songs as well. If you are to choose which music video to watch, may I direct you to "Ride" by Lana Del Rey. It is not as much of a music video as it is an artistic compilation of cinematography and poetic words, then followed by the actual song. It really is an experience in itself and it's one that I keep going back to.
Also, I have been absolutely obsessed with Nick Drake. Although he has passed, I think his music has a beauty that transcends time. Literally my favorite 1970s folk artist (next to Vashti Bunyan). If you like Nick Drake, I suggest you listen to his song "Pink Moon" because that is also one of my favorites.

If you have any favorite artists or songs that are similar to these, feel free to let me know! I'm constantly on the hunt for new music.
