Braided Photoshoot/#OOTD

 Hey y'all! So as I said in the last post, I recently got my hair braided. Chosen style? Box braids. I love them for their vintage aesthetic but also the neat uniformity that they add to my style. Here's a shout out to MY BRAIDER, SAWOO!! Sawoo finished my whole head in LESS THAN 4 hours, everyone!! I love her. Now, onto today's look.



My sister is, like the rest of us Boones, very creative. In addition to wanting to be a fashion designer, she's also really really into photography. So, when she wanted to use her new Nikon camera to do some shooting, I swiftly signed up to be the subject! It was the perfect opportunity for me to play around with my new braids! Check out some of the photos from the "shoot" below! Keep reading for details on this look.


You used to call me on my...


And I know when that Hotline Bling...

Full outfit!

Details on the look:
  • Sunglasses: Five Below $5
  • Earrings: Local beauty supply store $1
  • Blue jean jacket: American Eagle (idk how much this was, it's been years)
  • Lettered crop sweater: Forever 21 $10
  • White button up: Idk where I got this or how much it cost lol, but it should be easy to dupe
  • Army green pants: Target $12
  • White Chuck Taylor's: However much Converse cost lol
  • Lipstick: Revlon ColorStay Lipliner in Sienna I got it from CVS!
I LOVED this look, y'all! It was so fun to mix up different patterns and colors that don't normally go together. And this lippie? To die for, and a steal! It was just fun to be in front of a camera, to be honest. ALSO: If you're not already, follow me on Snapchat! @Siez_theday. You'll get a behind-the-scenes look into my world.

Until next time,
Si

A Letter for Kay: Advice to New College Students

Image
Here's a wild fact: I graduate in less than a week. And even though I've known that fact for a while now (except, maybe, right before my econ final), it's still not real enough. I still cannot fathom how these last four years flew by but at the same time went excruciatingly slow. It's been a hell of a ride, let me tell you. Northwestern was my dream school for as long as I can remember. I applied early decision because there was never another option for me, honestly. I wanted to go to the best journalism school, despite snarky remarks from classmates insinuating that I wasn't good enough. And when I got in , honey, excited was an understatement. I started my first day of college in 2013. And now I'll be walking across a stage to get this expensinve diploma in a week. I can't say it's all been pleasant - because it hasn't. It's been a tough ride many days, some I wondered if this day would ever come. Some I felt so isolated and alone that I f...

Remember Why You Started

Monday started another week of shuffling through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Jopwell and other various job boards. Another week of sending my resumé out into a black hole and crossing my fingers that this would be the "one." Monday started another week of asking for grace so that I would no longer have to dread hearing that "so, what are your plans for after graduation?" question. Luckily, Monday didn't end the way it started. Pictured: Me, without a single worry about deadlines or cover letters Usually when I take a Facebook break, the result is a couple of laughs and more than a couple of eye rolls. So when I clicked 'enter' on the domain and the familiar blue hue illuminated my face, I expected nothing different. "You have memories from this day," a notification informed me. I clicked the notification and was led to a video that I had posted back in 2011. Play. It began with text "Sierra Lanae on...Accessories!" and background m...

Bienvenidos a Argentina: Be Kind to Yourself

Image
Today marks the end of 2017's first full week! I hope the year is off to a rejuvinating start for everyone. Oh, and today also marks the end of my first week in Buenos Aires, Argentina! For those of you who don't know, I'll be interning here until the end of March. As any journalist would, I definitely did my homework on Argentina before getting here. The food, the music, the culture at large - and how I would fit in with it. As with any place, there's a variety of experiences people had. Here are some of mine, as well as thoughts and some photos I took along the way. Being in Argentina has already showed me the beauty in slowing down. In the U.S., and ESPECIALLY at universities like Northwestern, it is extremely normalized to stay busy and moving at 300000 mph. If we're idle, we're being inefficient. If there's too much time to relax, we're being lazy. That can grow to be exhausting and toxic as all get out.  But here? On the contrary. Here it...
