Welcome to My Diary
A Bucket List Plot Twist with Teavana Craft Iced Tea
Ever get an idea and you just can't stop until you make it a reality?
Well… for about a year now, I've been pinning photos of various hot air balloon festivals all over the world, and attending one quickly made its way to the TOP of my bucket list. It just seemed so magical to see so many hot air balloons up in the sky at one time, each balloon a work of art, unique in its own way.
Bonneville Salt Flats with India Earl & BHLDN
So beyond excited to share these images from our shoot with BHLDN!!! Dream come true getting to shoot in the Bonneville Salt Flats with the amazingly talented wedding photographer India Earl!
Junebug Weddings Feature
Had the amazing honor of being featured on Junebug Weddings!!! This shoot was so much fun to work on and our team of talented artists made it so seamless. I'm sure someone similar to Winnie Couture could make it even better if they wanted too but as it is fantastic! There were literally so many photos to pick from-all of them so beautiful and fun-I had the hardest time picking which ones to post!
No Rain, No Flowers
What better time of the year to wear florals than summertime?! I love this season because it not only brings fresh new blooms in my garden, but also represents new growth and cleansing in our lives. —because the old saying, “April showers brings May flowers”, is totally true!! Without a little bit of dark clouds in our lives, we can’t fully appreciate the beautiful moments life has to offer!!
A Weekend Away in Monterey
It’s not a secret that I LOVE traveling. And it’s also not a secret that I absolutely adore HBO’s TV show “Big Little Lies” (I’ve re-watched it multiple times and read the book). So when the opportunity to travel to Monterey and visit all the major film locations from the show popp’ed up in my inbox-my suitcase basically packed it’s self for me!!!
Dating Yourself
Alex was out of town, and I felt like I needed break from work... So I packed up a towel and a journal and went to Malibu to watch the sun set on the pier. Your relationship with yourself is the most precious of all! So, you don't have a date?! Take yourself on one!!!!!
Art Teacher Chic
Personal style is all about taking something that is CLASSIC and making it your own! That's why I describe my own personal style as Art Teacher Chic. It's a little bit of vintage, and a little bit of modern- but a whole lot of BOLD. It's unapologetic and daring! I like to mix prints and old trends with new to create something spectacular!
Let’s Play: Fashion Edition
NOSTALGIA fashion. It's a thing!!! Who else spent countless hours as a kid playing Nintendo? The #bloomingdales Let's Play shop features styles meant to inspire us to incorporate the FUN and playful attitudes of our childhood into our wardrobes.
Andaz Papagayo Travel Diary
If you’re looking for a secluded luxurious getaway, with sparkling shorelines and sun that tickles your skin with that magic “Je ne sait qoui”… it would be wise to look to the Papagayo Peninsula of Costa Rica.
All Cotton, All Right
Ever since I was a little girl, my mom taught me that 100% is the BEST kind of fabric to wear on your body. When it came to choosing undies, dresses, bed sheets and even jeans (since they are so tight on our bums!)… she always encouraged me to look at the label before making a purchase. "Your skin needs the freedom to breathe!" she would say.
International Women's Day
Who would have thought that two years ago when started my blog that it would lead me across the country to hang out with a bunch of female entrepreneurs I've never met?! Last month, @lisahomsy invited me to Hawaii for her 30th bday, and I couldn't help but say "YES," even though I knew no one but her who was going.
