IOD.

That would be Instagram Obsessive Disorder.  And hey, I suppose I've got that!  It's the truth.  So please... if you're one of the lucky ones with an iSomething.... follow @reagstennis this very moment.  I'm a good photographer.  For an amateur.  As a matter of fact photography could be called my passion,  in a way.  Here a few of my favorite's I've done.  You'll notice some of the pictures look familiar... probably because some of them have already been posted on Sweet Nothings... Also keep in mind that I AM the photography for all of these pics... unless I'm like the subject of them or something and it's not a self-portrait I've done... but the majority of them by far are done by moi, and moi alone.

So go. Follow @reagstennis.  And... it would be much appreciated if you would let me know what you think of my photos... Critique and comments alike:)

Slacker in Red

Oh my heavens.  I am such a slacker.  It's been what... two weeks since I last posted? Let's just say that summer fever (that's a thing, right?) has gotten to me and lately I've been more than a little scatterbrained.  But that's okay.  As long as I pull it together for REAL LIVE HIGH SCHOOL in ONE MONTH and 2 days!!!!!

There is also precisely one month and 21 days until my sweet sixteen.  Ya boy.


Moving on.


This little outfit is one that I'm saving for back to school, but I just had to share it with all of my lovely followers...


Everybody needs a neutral, pull over sweater like this.   You can honestly wear it with about anything in your closet.  And in any way you want! I layered it over and dark blue and white striped J. Crew blouse, with red cutoffs from Old Navy.   The sweater itself is from BP in Nordstrom (my home away from home).  The cutoffs dress it down a bit, but the collar and top knot give it a bit of a preppy... hipster... nerdy look that I've come to adore.   I didn't bother putting on any shoes with this outfit... (summer fever again) but I'd probably go with a white sandal or even the right shade of brown.  Up to you.  You can't see the earrings all that well, unfortunately, but they're darling little crystal drops edged in gold from Quincee's Boutique in American Fork, Utah!! SIX DOLLARS.  Yes.  Score.

Love, Reagan

Hipsters and Lazy Afternoons

What's a hipster? (haven't we had this conversation before?)

Here's my definition.  Nerdy.  But cute.  Unexpected, preppy even, and the opposite of trendy (except for maybe the other opposite of trendy... which would be old fashioned. in a bad way.)

Remember Miles? The ultimate hipster counselor? I just had to share this photo with you all to demonstrate just how hipster he is.  And no, none of us realized this photo was being taken.

Next...

My latest attempt at hipster (even though it's truly not much) is just stacking a bunch of little bracelets.  I guess this doesn't have to be hipster.  It could be classy, sophisticated (depending on the bracelets), or even just summer chic.  So I just added these three skinny ones to my outfit the other day with my red t-shirt.  I'm loving true red lately... and this basic t-shirt was exactly what I was looking for! (Abercrombie & Fitch).   So here ya go...

And here's a shot where you can see the actual color of the t shirt.  It has little rolled sleeves and a pocket with the A&F logo.  Sorry it's kind of blurry... that's just the effect I used to blur out the background...

Voila.  Well... that's all for today... But I have a cute shoot of my middle sister for later this week!!

Ta Ta for now.

Love, Reagan

PS.  Here's the lazy afternoon part of my post... these darling neighborhood kids came over and proceeded to spend the afternoon/evening painting with water.  Most entertaining thing out there.  A bucket of water, a couple paintbrushes, and some concrete or something? And you're good to go for an hour or more. :)

Ever So Sorry!

First things first.

I am so very sorry for not posting for literally nearly a month.   I officially win the worst-blogger-of-the-month award.  Hands down.

Next...  A new outfit!! Summer means bright colors, bold prints, and gauzy little dresses.  So why not all three at once?  (side note: I successfully curled my hair with a wand for the first time for these pics... pretty dang proud.)

On to my insanely busy life.  Did I tell you about Mexico? Maybe so.  Doesn't matter.  Here are just a few of the pictures I promised... hang tight and hopefully I'll get around to a full update(:

That's me.  Nearly drowning.  (I'm the one struggling under the green floatie)

Legit mariachi band.  Let's just say this was a big moment.

What's next?? Oh!  Only one of the best weeks of my life.  BYU tennis camp.  5 days of nonstop tennis and some of my best friends on the planet.  These kids only make every single day of my life. :)  Also... I think I just might have a future in sports photography (ahem. action shots.)

My roommate, Madeline.  She's basically one of my very best friends.  And if I have to be up at 2 in the morning with someone, Mags isn't a bad choice.

The girls... (and jake in the background)

Emily.

This is Brig.  He's a stud.  He's also 11.

Sarah.

Zack.

Well that was forever long but we needed a catch up... Keep checking Sweet Nothings!! 

Love you all...
