Friends asked Vu to take a few photos for their wedding day and this is what happened while we waited for the busy wedding parties. :) Monochromes have been my jam lately. Also, unplanned fit shoots have also been my jam.

Something about the crispness of white. I'm a bit ambivalent about the results of this 5 minute shoot. Oh whales, bringing back the 90s one awkward piece at a time. ;)

I do wish I had chose better shoes, perhaps some ankle boots.  Its been a while since my last interaction with a camera so I was a bit shy and awkward but hopefully, I can find more time to really work on producing myself on and off the screen/lens. :)

We went to our favorite brunch place - Cantina Loredo. Easy, simple, yet still outside of my comfort zone. Definitely not a jeans a tee kind of girl. Give me leggings and I'm solid.

In short: I'm Rachel and love Sunday brunch. :P Though Austin is known for eccentricity, I don't believe it to be the best city for evolving my fashion sense. Because of such sentiments, I've always suffocated and muted my true self when presenting through fashion. This year, I made it a mission to change all of this, and weekends have really become my times to embrace my individuality. To also help combat "suppression," I created this blog and accompanying Youtube channel as an outlet for the narcissist in [all of us] me.
