Today Mark and I went to the Arts Market and it was amazing!~ First I tried the Blueberry Basil popsicle from this vendor. It was such a hot day! And be careful eating this flavor because most of the seeds were stuck in my teeth, not a good look. Then we wandered around, live music, everyone brings their dog here, I'll bring my future pup here too!

Mark got curry and I got a salmon "poke" bowl, the fish wasn’t raw, I'm from Hawaii so when I hear poke- it's raw. The food here is so different. It was pretty good not what I expected but meh. 

Before we left I got another popsicle it was guava hibiscus, yummmm!!!! Mark got banana cream, it's alright. He liked mines better and I told him to get the same one but he wanted to try more flavors, oh wells! Fun filled day, I have to spend as much time with him because he will be gone for 2 weeks, work stuff.

Today I wanted to go take photos at a park, but I was too shy to do it because there were people around so we drove around and saw this dock where all these boats were, then tada!!! It was quite difficult shooting because this Florida heat makes both of us (Mark and I) impatient. The sun was beaming and Mark hates to sweat, so I tried to relax more on my facial expressions, I totally was going to be a grouch today if he didn't get it right. 

The deal is if he takes my photos for my blog then I will go grocery shopping and be a total angel to him. I HATE grocery shopping, there's crowds and I get really anxious and nervous. I have no clue why but I just hate going there. He takes forever, but he says it his favorite past time with his mom, so I can't complain. Adorable right?

The last photo sums up pretty much the mood that I was in, FRUSTRATED. I reviewed all the photos and we had some lighting problems. Then we decided to walk to another location where I guess people have parties, and he took some photos there. I was happy because of the lighting but then the location just threw me off because I'm on the rocks then grass and now a wooden platform. As I started uploading my photos from my camera I remembered I have Adobe Photoshop <3 ***angel harps playing***

Long story short I'm an idiot and I will use the location, wooden platform place, on another blog post with a different outfit. So it doesn't confuse people. And I am so glad that I have Photoshop to edit my pics because now I don't have to worry about the lighting as much. I will be cautious though because no one likes an overexposed pic.

Hello Earthlings!~

So recently I went to the Alexander Wang x H&M collab, and I can't wait to style looks with it. I also have 2 more looks coming up I did earlier this week but I'm putting it on hold and shooting the A Wang collab instead. It was crazy busy! If you follow me on instagram, @monicahellz I look like a happy camper! My best friend and I were in line since 5am luckily people in Hawaii don't give a sht about designer collabs, or they just don't know about them... We had a game plan and I walked out with all the items I wanted! Don't worry I will post it up pretty soon, I've just been busy at work. It's so much fun working with my best friend! Especially when I am helping with his sales. 

Anyways back to this post I love the slimy peace symbol and fringe. The skirt is getting faded (*sad face*). I bought the shoes at H&M a while back and it was on sale for only $8! Great for the Holiday season! I'm so stoked for the Holidays.

Hippy Vibes

Pompom Cropped Top (Charlotte Russe). Printed Pants (Charlotte Russe).

Fellow Earthlings!~

Dress up as a 70s love child for Halloween. Circle sunnies, cropped top, and flared pants are all the items to a 70s throwback. Make sure to heavily accessorize for the whole gypsy look and throw on a DIY flower crown or a cute head chain. I also edit my pictures for the faded look in spirits for the whole 70s vibe.  

(In honor of the 70s),

Peace out!
