Mad ♥ Mondays
What a week of catch up! Alicia and Brook’s wedding on Saturday was absolutely perfect. It rained, just as Alicia wished it would and I took bridal party photos in the rain…in the middle of the street. Have I mentioned how much I love that my couples are game for anything?! Ya, they’re pretty amazing. I started designing my new website thanks to Showit! I can’t wait to launch everything!! Soon soon soon. Oh, and when that time comes, I’ll be having a little {BIG} giveaway =) So now, I sit at my desk listening to Nina Simone pandora and get work done before I head to SF/Sacramento for the week. I can’t wait to shoot with Jackie and Gladys and then explore some of San Francisco that I’ve never been to before!
So here’s to rain in June, pretty things coming soon and exploring cities.
and with that, here are my favorite things from the week ♥
#1. I recently found out about this product line called Heima Store and immediately fell in love with their products! That alphabet print and that chair!!! AH! To die for cute! Too bad their based in the Phillipines. A girl can wish.

#3. I want to live in this outfit all summer long. That’s all.

#4. With cupcakes being such a popular item for desserts nowadays, why not spruce it up with some lace. You can never go wrong with that.

#5. While wearing #3 I’ll be sipping on #5. Prosecco Sangria recipe from Martha Stewart. YUM!

Happy Monday lovelies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was busy! I got into Santa Monica Thursday morning, relaxed all day with the puppies! Friday I assisted my sweet friend Ala on a shoot, Saturday I 2nd shot with the lovely Heidi Ryder, & yesterday I had an engagement session on the pier with Sarah and Danny AND THEN went and picked up Mary and Scott from the airport!! A weekend filled with tons of lovely faces! I’ll be down here until the 30th and am loving it. I promise I’m moving here soon. seriously.
Let’s see what pretty things I’ve found around the world wide web lately, shall we?
#1. Simply smitten with this maxi dress. I could live in it.

#2. I don’t talk about bands/artists as much as I should. These guys from Sleepy Sun deserve a spot in this post. I recently saw them at Cellar Door and instantly was a fan. Their style is a little psychedelic, a little mellow, and somehow thrown together it’s pretty magical. They recently released a new album, Fever. Head over to iTunes right now and get it. I promise you’ll fall in love like I did!

#3. If you like DIY stuff and you aren’t following Ashley Anne’s blog, you are seriously missing out. She currently showed some images of her own bedroom and I fell in love with the “you & me” she had above her bed. So sweet!

#4. These made my mouth water instantly! Let’s make them and have a pool party!!

#5. I saw this ring and my jaw dropped. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I’m not sure where it came from but I love how unique it is! Be sure to check out that entire wedding. The bride’s dress & the bridesmaids dresses were all made by the bride’s MOTHER! Hello most talented woman in the world!

#6. This color board from 100 layer cake makes me so excited for summertime! Not to mention, those mason jar lights are awesome!

Good Evening, my sweet loves =)
It’s been quite an interesting day! Did a ton of spring cleaning, killed a few mice, {seriously} unpacked from my recent trip to Vegas with Mary & got to love on my precious little baby girl.
A recap of my weekend:
Drove to Santa Monica, rode in car {while listening to Adele, duh} with Amanda & Mary to Vegas, had dinner at Serendipity <3, met a new friend, hung out with a bunch of dudes, shot a wedding with my favorite Mary =), walked almost 10,000 steps, slept in till noon, walked around the strip, watched Mary’s hat fly into the Bellagio fountains, shot a day after session with Mary in the desert, went on the most perfect date in Vegas……a movie & bowling
, got up, packed, rode in the car with Amanda & Mary, walked around the stupid steep hills of Beverly Hills, hugged Rilo, drove home.
What I didn’t do this weekend:
eat frozen yogurt.
What I need to do soon:
eat frozen yogurt. Oh, & find a date to a wedding Saturday, know anyone? =)
Moving right along.
#1. Who doesn’t love this invite??? It’s the most perfect! I love it. That’s that.

#2. Mary giggled in the backseat of our trip the whole time giggling to this book! This means it’s a must! I’m getting it tomorrow and MAKING time to read it =)
{via Amazon, duh}
#3. Cake Toppers! We could not find any cute one’s for Wynters wedding! & boy, oh boy, did we search! Of course I recently came across two that I’m smitten kitten for! How cute are these? Like, seriously!

#6. My Mom. Since I didn’t get to spend Mother’s Day with her yesterday I helped her clean today. What? Best daughter award? I KNOW! =) But, I did get her a card that took the words straight from my brain and put it all pretty on a folded piece of paper. Don’t you love when that happens? Cards are my favorite things to receive. fyi =) My Mom is the best. I mean, check me out, rockin the bandana way back in the day? She started my fashion wisdom off on the RIGHT foot! Thanks Mom, love you!

Speaking of precious baby girls
I’m so in love with my new little niece. Today she is a whole week old! I can’t wait till we can sit and chat and talk about dance!
Just a day old and has more hair than I did at 2 years old.

The morning I left last week, just 3 days old here. I love her chubby cheeks <3
