Bella Terra - Huntington Beach, CA

SOMBER OCTOBER BREEZE dissipating over Orange County. Even though Autumn recently began, this cold air is moving over Southern California rapidly. Afternoons are still terribly humid however, coats are definitely a must for evening outings or classes. Autumn brings about my favorite weather which is perfect for dressing up! I love gloomy, rainy days and it feels more magical with the holiday season around the corner! 

A not so simple black and white outfit for a casual day out. It happened to be fairly cool so there was a faint breeze that was able to move the fringes on my top. Jonathan and I decided to get some air and we ended up on an empty stretch of beach shortly after. We broke the stillness of the neighborhood with my clicking boots and his camera's inconsistent shutter sound. We've been through this neighborhood multiple times though we never took the time to walk through the residential alleyways or walkways.

The silence around us was a nice escape from my fairly hectic life. After spending quite some time searching for a new place to call home, I finally found property in a quaint little neighborhood. I'll be moving by the end of the month so please bare with me if my posts become a bit irregular. I still have so much to do with the limited amount of time I have left at my current residence. Though I'm terribly heartbroken to leave a place I've called home for my entire life, change is good. It's actually bittersweet. I will share more details about what's actually happening in my life within future blog posts - keep an eye out for that.

Back to my outfit for this post... Not only do I love black and white clothing, I adore black and white photography. I used to take so many pictures but I now find myself only utilizing my iPhone camera. This isn't a negative thing though - the camera produces surprisingly raw images (I use an iPhone 6 for all my VSCO images). I do want to get back into photography with a DSLR. Once I procure a new camera, I'll post pictures of my travels right here! I'll end with a quote that's stuck with me since undergrad:
