Coney Island Mermaid

Last month, my friend Martina did my hair and makeup for a photo shoot to show off her amazing skills! I've haven't taken photos with very many photographers so I was a little nervous, but I tried my best and I think Alex's photos turned out so cool! Martina really transformed me, so much so that I was showing my parents my new business cards, and when my dad saw the photo I used from this shoot, he had no idea it was me! We shot in Pismo Beach, at a frozen yogurt shop and a few other places near the beach.

How pretty is that glittery mermaid makeup?! I'm way too lazy to make myself up with anything other than simple eyeliner, but I have to say the sparkles and lashes are pretty darn awesome. We did two different looks; one with a starfish hair clip Martina made herself, and one with her gorgeous vintage veiled hat that I kind of wanted to steal. Both dresses are from Forever 21. I'm definitely a fan of the mermaid theme in the first look, and I'm in love with the Coney Island feel of the second look!

Of course, any photos I get to take while eating cotton candy are just fine with me!

You can't see them very well in the photos, but in the first set I'm wearing these dainty little ocean themed knuckle rings sent to me by Lo & Chlo. And as a bonus, they arrived in the loveliest clamshell box!
