Spring Fever
Climbing Rocks in Pretty Dresses | Joshua Tree
Desert Wind | Joshua Tree
Joshua Tree always blows me away! The vast desert landscapes filled with stacked rocks and the cutest Joshua Trees really makes for a unique location. This particular trip to Joshua Tree, Darren & I had a 4-wheel drive car for the first time! So we took advantage of it, and explored unfamiliar territory! You can find links to what I am wearing at the end of this post - enjoy!
Polka Dot Pants
Freshly Picked
For those of you still looking for that *perfect* pair of shoes for Spring, look no further, I have found just the right pair - the Bali Heel Counter Sandal by Revere. They are just as comfortable as they are cute, and will pair well with all of your adventures under the sun! I already took mine on an adventure through my "neighborhood" with a basket full of flowers and warm light, and I fell in love with them.
Playing with Shape and Color
Darren has been working on a new light painting tool and we decided to test it out over the weekend on a very cold night! Some of the light you see in these images is also coming from our wood stove which was burning all night long, while we drank wine, listened to music and created some fun imagery focused on shape and color.
A Pop of Red
One of my favorite styling tricks is adding a pop of color to an all black, white and grey outfit - and my go-to color is usually ruby red. I just love the flirty vibes red brings to any simple look. Here is a look inspired by this fashion trick, featuring GoJane and ZeroUV. You can find links to everything I am wearing in this shoot at the bottom of the post - enjoy!
All Red Everything
Here is an all-red-everything look that I had a really fun time putting together to inspire you to add a little red to your wardrobe this spring! I am seriously swooning over big ruffles and thin cat eye sunglasses, and have been since last summer. It seems like both of these trends are still blossoming and I cannot stop adding them to my shopping cart! You can find links to everything I am wearing at the end of this post - enjoy!
How to Find the Iconic Palm Tree Lined Street in Los Angeles with View of the Hollywood Sign
I lived in Los Angeles for 5 years and never got that iconic palm tree lined street pic - until now! We began our hunt to find one to photograph for this shoot, and came across the perfect tree lined street leading right up to the Hollywood sign - providing that *extra* epic backdrop. Keep reading to find out how to get to this spot!
You can find this iconic palm tree lined street in LA with the Hollywood Sign in the background on South Windsor Blvd between 4th and 5th Streets. LA truly is a beautiful place.
Give Me Space
Crater Lake
Crater Lake was on my to-do list for quite sometime, until the solar eclipse came along and brought Darren and I to Oregon! We made way to Crater Lake immediately following the eclipse, which just so happened to also be during a massive forest fire in Oregon. The fire added a ton of smoke to the scenery, making it an unusual adventure but also very hard to breathe! However, we didn't let the smoke stop our adventure and we created imagery with the moody, smokey vibes. I chose to wear this blue dress to contrast those deep red tones of the rocks in the first few images and also to compliment the ever-so-blue Crater Lake. I hope you enjoy what we created on this smokey adventure!

Blue Jean Baby | Hudson Jeans
You guys! Recently I met the Riley Luxe Crop Raw Hem Jeans and Garrison Cropped Denim Jacket by Hudson, and fell in LOVE with their fit, quality, and color. Finding the right denim is always such a challenge, but I am so happy to add these swoon-worthy designs to my wardrobe this fall and winter. I decided to take them for a spin right as a storm was on it's way, adding some moodiness to those vibrant sunset skies! Check out what we created along the way, and see just how amazing this lil denim set by Hudson is for yourself!

Surrounded
When you stumble upon a field of wild sunflowers in full bloom, you pull over and create some magic! Especially when wearing that stunning dress by Hemant and Nandita and those shoes by Matisse. Every single time we do this scenic drive, there are new wildflowers in bloom and they make it an entirely new experience! So now I know to expect wild sunflowers in August. Stand tall, sunflowers.
Gingham + Golden Light
Happy Sunday, everyone! I am so excited to share this post with you, of me wandering through the golden hills wearing an *amazing* summer look by the following brands: top & shorts by Show Me Your Mumu, red cap by San Diego Hat Company, and shoes by Pour La Victoire. I cannot get enough gingham this summer, y'all!
A Dash of Pink | Fame and Partners
A dash of pale pink, whilst surrounded by greenery creates some hue magic, huh? I love the movement in that Gilda Dress by Fame and Partners! I also love the way it pairs with those sandals by Pour La Victoire - a match made in heaven. This is a shoot we did for the Fame and Partners blog, which you can see here and read about why I took a pledge to stop fast shopping for a month. Enjoy!
Sky High | Petersyn
~*Sky high*~ wearing the most ruffletastic outfit by Petersyn on an adventure with mi amor! We cruise this route a couple of times per week, not only because it is a few minutes from our home but we find it to be so meditative. A moment where we can unplug and take in those layers of mountains resting in front of the sunset. I love the light there, as well - and it really highlighted the amazing details in this look by Petersyn. Enjoy!
Little House on the Prairie
Featuring the cold shoulder wrap dress by Band of Gypsies, boots by AGL, and jewelry by Studio Blue Jewelry.
Under a Wide Brim
Can someone point me to the nearest picnic?
Follow along as I explore an abandoned camp wearing jewelry from Studio Blue, a dress from Blackwater, a hat from San Diego Hat Company, and shoes from AGL! I'm so into gingham these days and cannot wait to fill my closet with more of it over the summer.
