I love meeting new people and forming amazing relationships. Friendships that you that wouldn't be even deemed possible if it wasn't for instagram. I guess instagram is good for one thing at the moment. The whole new algorithm is throwing everyone off & it's really throwing me off as well. Even though my following is small...my engagement with you guys were a lot better. That isn't what this blog post is about though. It is about my friendship that I formed with another blogger named Lilia from Lily-Like!

 

I actually have been in contact with Lilia way before she came to DC for her studies ( she is here for about 6 months ). She reached out to me on instagram saying that we should grab coffee when she arrives & of course I said yes because who could resist coffee. Then it dawned on me...I was just like her when I was 13. When I moved to another country and had to remake friends. It's not the best thing in the world and being a preteen at the time it actually sucked balls. I didn't want Lilia to go through the awkwardness of not knowing anyone and also not having anyone to rely on just in case there is an emergency ( god forbid ). So, I did what anyone would do & I formed a sincere friendship with her.

 

With that being said I cannot wait to show you guys all the trouble ( in a good way ) that we will be getting into whilst she is here! She also inspires me to work harder at my blog as well. Seeing how much she does. I am just in awe!

 

We decided to have an impromptu photoshoot at my favourite shooting location & the photos are just hilarious! I hope you guys enjoy them as much as I do!

It's not everyday that you come around a bunch of creative minds just like yours. Where you are free to share your ideas without being judged or being stared at. I will admit , I was scared to take out my camera and start vlogging around them but after like 5 minutes of walking I realized that it was a mental thing and I couldn't be more free to express myself. I honestly wished that I took more photos of the walk (I only brought my phone to vlog) but my friends got some really nice shots!

 

I did get some footage to vlog about & I decided to throw it together into a quick little (I tried to make it little) video for you guys. I am going to be linking the video down below so I would really appreciate it if you guys can check it out for me! I would really really sincerely appreciate all the support trying this new thing.

 

Also I am so bloody sad that my favourite denim (the ones pictured) decided to die on me. I unfortunately had to retire them this past weekend. May they rest in pieces. LOL.

Oh, yes what a crazy couple of days it has been!

Saturday:

I was invited to a little outing called " Walk With Locals " and its basically a bunch of creative minds (photography , blogging, vlogging etc..) coming together and expressing their love for the craft. Just a bunch of people walking around and snapping photos of each-other. It was also a great way to network and for me being a blogger introduce myself to new photographers. I am actually editing my vlog for that as well so that will be coming soon. I kinda don't want to spoil anything so I will leave that & you guys will just have to watch my vlog! Super excited about it.

Sunday:

On Sunday, I met up with my friend Sylvia and her boyfriend Brandon for brunch. We ended up agreeing on our favourite brunch spot ' Busboys & Poets '. I am telling you right now if you guys have one in your area you SHOULD go! That place is always packed whenever I go. That is how amazing the food is and let me say the atmosphere is just as amazing. They have poetry readings, a book section if you want to read whilst you wait for your table or just want to make a purchase. They have books for EVERYONE there. I didn't get a chance to vlog about it because I would much rather make conversation without pulling out a camera to make it awkward. My friends don't really like being infront of the camera. I, myself get super shy sometimes when I am out vlogging. I feel like people are watching me but I honestly have to get over that fear.

Monday:

I welcomed my babe Lilia to DC with open arms. I actually went and picked her and her Mother up from the airport and they were both the sweetest ever! Also, let me just say that Lilia's place is like a bloggers dream! I am also excited to show her around DC and to genuinely be her friend. I know it's scary moving from a new country not knowing anyone and having to start over. I am excited to share all the trouble (in a good way) that we are going to get into!

This was the outfit I choose to go to brunch in! Super casual because I knew we were going to be doing alot of walking.
