life lately: the beginning of january

January is FLYING by! I can’t believe it’s already the 22nd! A sneak from a photoshoot I did with my friend Lexi and her family.   Terrified of the shark!   Some turquoise; some skulls.   Pretty clouds.   Another sneak from a shoot I did with Miss Ventura County 2012, Kayla Bailey.   Reorganized…

Plummy Love

Dress: TJMaxx; Necklace: Aldo; Pumps: Cathy Jean; Clutch: Marc Jacobs // Target Had a blastfromthepast night by attending the Miss Ventura County pageant.

the golden globes: the yays and the nays

Awards seasons is upon us and I am STOKED. I usually spend the last part of the year watching all the movies that are getting buzzed about, and then my friends/family/neighbors and I all get together for a massive party on the night of the Oscar’s. Sooooo, that being said, of course I watched the…

wino wednesday, 1

Soooo…I’m three glasses of wine (Red Velvet Cupcake, to be exact…YUM) in and all of a sudden I feel as though I can write. Like, really, really, write. Maybe it’s just some leftover denial of the fact that I’m done with college and I really want to bullshit an essay right now. Or maybe it’s…

life lately : the last of 2012 edition

A visit with Santa gone very, very wrong. Waiting for my curbside pickup in a trusty pair of Aldo loafers. Slightly drunk and mostly full. Lita Lovin’ Searching for the perfect tree. Late nights in Zara. Santa Monica. Kisses from the backseat. My sister and I in a theater, waiting for a show consisting of…

2012 Highlights

Okay, okay…it may be 2013 already, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to reflect on 2012! Prepare yourself for a TON of photos :: Started out 2012 with an event that has been on the top of my bucket list for years and years. I visited South Africa for two weeks during January, and…

2013!!!

Celebrating the new year with another (that makes 5!) midnight kiss with my favorite guy. Big kisses and hugs to all of you. Here’s to a GREAT year; one that’s filled with happiness and adventure. Sidenote: So happy we actually made it to 2013. Those Mayans were SO WRONG. ***As I’m typing this, I’m under…
