Hey guys! I am so excited about this post, its one of my favorites. I met Karrissa Marie last week when Christine Bennett came to visit me. We just hit it off and got along so well. When I first laid eyes on her it was like love at first site lol. She looks like a doll in person and on top of that has the biggest heart and I adore her. We have a lot in common. We love taking photos, fashion blogging, we both just started a Youtube channel and even have the same shoes size ? OMG! You have to watch her videos, you will literally want to give her a hug and put her in your pocket no joke. She has such a bubbly personality. You will love her, so check out her blog (here) and her YouTube channel (here) you will not regret it. I am so thankful to God this year. I am in awe of how much blessings he has poured over me and my husband. I know it won’t mean much to you but it means a world to me I am just so blessed and here are some of the amazing blessings.
1. I have met so many wonderful people through blogging. Here are some of the ones I met (so check their blogs out) Christine Bennett ?(obviously she’s like my soul sister hello ?), Karrissa Marie, Carolina Hellal, Hailey and Bree. I adore them!
2. I am so thankful for my photographer Olga Bykov. You have no idea how much she has helped me. She pushed me to start fashion blogging and is always there for me to do last minute photos. Literally she will wake up early in the morning or move her schedule around just for me. I think she sorta loves me ?. I am honestly so blessed and thankful for her. Sometimes I don’t show it cause of our busy lives but OLGA I like hecka love you. ?
3. This should’ve been my first but I don’t want to delete and rewrite everything. ? If I do I will need more coffee lol. My husband flipping rocks. I am blessed beyond words, he is my rock and I don’t know what I would do without him. He has the biggest heart and is so supportive in everything I do. He pushes me to be better and seeing him strive for a better future for us makes me love and adore him even more. Oh and I can’t wait until he becomes my baby daddy (hehe) no I am not preggo but I seriously can’t wait to be. It’s all in Gods hands and He has His timing for everything.
There is so much more I am thankful for like my health, my husbands health and my family. We shouldn’t just be thankful once a year but everyday. Oh and I LOVE YOU ALL I could die lol. Seriously though, without my blog readers and supporters there would not be a modaprints.com. So thank you. ?
Anyway sorry for all of that, I just wanted to share what was on my heart. Now back to the shoot. I love both of our outfits in this post. Karrissa’s look is more of a mens wear inspired with a pop of girly. I feel like my outfit is more casual with a girly feel to it. In this post we wanted to show you how easy and simple it is to be girly and comfy at the same time. Even if you have to borrow from the mens section. Just try it, you will love it. I hope you enjoyed these adorable photos, check out Karissa’s blog for details of her outfit. See you soon, have a fabulous Thursday. I am gonna head to work soon and then cook some yummy dinner when I get home, yay! I can’t wait. Oh and this hair tutorial will be up on my blog and YouTube channel on saturday so stay tuned for that.

I have been a Colorado style blogger for four years (almost) and didn’t even know there were other CO style bloggers but I just found out and got to meet a couple the other day. It was so much fun and I am so stoked! I love you and Karissa’s blogs and I hope to meet you both one day. How fun!
