bey's in the trap! the trap being a poolhouse. this really makes me miss: my 'fro, summer and my tan. well, i think the tan is permanent, but nonetheless everything else has abandoned me.

though, i do have to say the bidding farewell summer makes me kinda stoked for christmas. if i could have it my way, we would have a hogwarts christmas year-round - complete with figgy pudding, butter beer and chocolate frogs. #potterazzi for life. for those who do not know what a hogwarts christmas entails, i have provided a visual below. isn't it magical? 

Happy Bey-Day!

in honor of bey-day, i wanted to share a preview of a photoshoot where i accidentally ended up looking like the halfrican queen beysus. totally not our intention at all, but once the 'fro was formed - there was no turning back. enjoy + happy bey day - hope you're celebrating with a heavy rotation of beyonce on your playlist! x.
