Pause









Wearing:
Jacket - Zara | Shirt - WhoWhatWear for Target | Jeans - Topshop Mom Jeans | Sneakers - Adidas | Bag - Oasis

So I think I'm going to take a break from this blog for a little while.  Don't get me wrong; I love blogging, and I love this blog, but I just have so many changes going on in my life right now (moving to London, starting school, etc.), I really need to get settled here.  I also think it's time for a bit of re-branding.  Now that I'm not living in the Rocky Mountains anymore, I'm not sure if this title still works.  I'm not going to tell you my new title now - that's going to be a surprise - but this will be my last "Rockin' the Rockies Style" post.  When I start blogging again, I still plan on having all of my old posts being available, but my url and title will change.  I wish I could tell you when I'll be blogging again, but I can't because I'm not sure either.  Remember, this is not goodbye; this is just a pause.  Thanks for staying with me.

Adieu









Wearing:
Coat - Forever 21 | Skirt - Zara | Shirt - Primark | Boots - DSW | Purse - Clark's | Choker - self made

If you've been following me on my other social media platforms (pretty much just instagram), you would know that I've moved!  That's right, I'm no longer living in the Rocky Mountains, but rather London!  I am now officially a fashion student, living and studying in London, England.  I couldn't be more excited for what's to come!  These were the last photos I took before I moved, so I once again wanted to take pictures at my favorite shooting location.  The sun was pretty bright, but after moving around a few times, I found this nice spot.  Also, it was pretty cold, and if you look at my nose you can see that it was turning red (I called myself Rudolph for the rest of the night).  To celebrate it being my last night there, my mom and I went to our favorite pizza place then went home and watched a movie.  It was a great way to spend one of my final nights back home. 
Anyway, I don't know how often I'll be able to post in the future, and I also have some changes coming (eventually), so stay tuned, and keep following me on instagram for more frequent and fun updates!

Rainy









Wearing:
Blouse - H&M | Jacket - Mudd | Jeans - BDG (Urban Outfitters) | Boots - Zara | Purse - Clarks

Looking at these photos, it really made me realize that I need to get my roots done.  Luckily, I have an appointment for Wednesday, but it just can't come soon enough!
Is anyone else ecstatic that it's finally fall?  Well I suppose that it technically isn't fall until the 22nd, but the weather has already started getting cooler.  Summer is always fun, but I'd much rather wear long sleeves, coats, and boots.  For example, I bought this shirt at the end of May, but I've only been able to wear a couple of times because it's just been far too hot for long sleeves.  Despite me not wearing it often, it has already catapulted to the top of my favorite shirts.  I love the ruffles and the color, even though I sometimes feel like Raggedy Ann when I wear it.  I originally was going to wear a skirt with this blouse, but after seeing the rain that idea went immediately out the window.  Instead I opted for my black skinny jeans and my camel ankle boots.  I used to be someone who was very opposed to the black and brown combo, but I've definitely been loving wearing these boots with all of the black in my wardrobe.

Shine









Wearing:
Jacket - Forever 21 | Blouse - Princess Vera Wang | Trousers - Jennifer Lopez for Kohls | Heels - Seychelles | Purse - Clarks | Choker - self made

Boy was it bright when I took these pictures.  Because of the brightness, it really made my hair shine.  Initially I didn't want to wear my sunglasses for these photos, but because of just how bright it was, my eyes were literally watering without them.  I don't know about you, but I have super light-sensitive eyes, so I'm constantly wearing my sunglasses.  I sometimes like to joke that when I get married (many, many years from from now), my husband will not just be marrying me but also my sunglasses.  That being said, I managed to keep them off for a few of the photos, and I really like the way they turned out.
I recently bought a new lens for my camera, and I think it's making a real difference on how my photos are looking.  In my personal opinion, I think my photos look a lot more professional now.  I have also been trying to find more interesting places to take my photos than just my drive way; I've really been enjoying this parking garage that's downtown.  What do you think about the new look of my photos?
Regarding my outfit, I've been searching for the perfect look to go with this choker.  My mom made it for me when she made a number of my other ones; I love this one, but at almost two inches wide, it can be difficult to style it just by how overpowering it can be.  I eventually decided on this tank because of how thin the straps are.  I thought the thin straps contrasted will with the thickness of the choker.  To keep the choker the center piece of the look, I just added simple black trousers and silver sandals (which, by the way, are the sandals I wore with my silver slip dress at my cousin's wedding, which I wasn't able to get a picture of that day; that post can be found here).  The jacket I added last minute because it was just so windy, I thought for sure I'd be too cold without it.
