These photos are the final outfit photos I shot while in New York last month. I love the metallic & floral combo. The metallic culottes are a more tomboy / masculine piece and pairing them with florals is such a fun contrast, and easy way to make a stand-out outfit! My floral top is a few seasons old, but any floral blouse would work to re-create this sort of look.

On instagram this week I shared a photo as a “get to know me post” because I’ve gained some new followers recently.  I was pretty surprised by the response, as a lot of people said that they liked getting to know more about me and wanted to know more. So today, I thought I would take this opportunity to share 10 things you didn’t know about me.

10 Things You Don’t Know About Me

1. I have a tendency to name unusual things. I grew a freckle on my wrist a few years ago & named him Steve. (I named a corn plant Steve last year as well, so I think Steve is just a bit of a go-to male name for me 🤷‍♀️)

2. I can’t stand the taste of water. People swear it doesn’t have a taste, but it does to me. I hate it! I have to force myself to drink at least a few glasses a day.

3. My two favorite types of food are Mexican & Thai. I could live off chips & salsa or veggie stir fry.

4. I still have my childhood stuffed animal. It’s a tabby cat I was given by my great grandmother (I think?), shortly after I was born. I slept with her for years, and now she lives on my bookshelf.

5. My first job was an assistant dance teacher at my dance studio, but the first job I actually applied for was to work at Blockbuster Video. I can’t wait to explain to my future kids one day that the first job I applied to is something that doesn’t even exist anymore. 🤦‍♀️

6. I don’t consider myself the strongest academic, but I do really well with standardized testing. I got in the 99.9 percentile on the LSAT. My brain has always liked the order & structure of standardized testing I think!

7. My favorite book is East of Eden, my favorite band is Jimmy Eat World, and my favorite TV show is Veronica Mars (Parenthood is a close second!)

8. My two closest friends, Maddie & Sarah, mean everything to me. Having been through the ending of a decade long relationship and then years of dating since that, having always had Maddie & Sarah by my side has been invaluable. Maddie and I have been best friends since the 8th grade, and Sarah is my sorority little sister (Delta Gamma!) who I met in 3rd year university. Neither of them live here so I am an expert now at the long-distance friendship thing lol.

9. My first celebrity crush was Jonathan Taylor Thomas (followed by Joshua Jackson – who I still have posters of up in my childhood bedroom at my parents house!)

10. I grew up loving musical theatre. One of my earliest memories is belting out “Do you hear the people sing” from Les Miserables while in the car with my mom.
