"sometimes your soul might make you stumble..."

On this lovely semi cloudy Monday Ali and I walked down to Table Rock Beach to do this weeks shoot. Thankfully it was empty and hence I avoided the embarrassment of running around the beach in front of a camera. I was having a severely indecisive clothing day, which I am sure every girl in the world can sympathize with but in the end settled with something flowy, and neutral, a water and sand like combo...

The Token "twirl" shot...

This cave created the perfect background to my very neutral outfit...

We live in paradise...

Make sure to check out Ali's amazing blog (although you are probably sick of seeing my face and I am also in her entrance project), and congratulate her for getting in to her first design school :) woo hoo!

I was browsing one of my favorite DIY blogs and found this bohemian wedding that i can only describe as perfect; the styling, the table setting, the location, the band.  I would love to be at this beachside soiree...

I'm late Im late for a very important date!

 Monday was a hodge podge of activities... Ali, Emily and I put together a little tea party sans the tea in my front garden; sandwiches lemonade and the cutest cupcakes ever. Then we had some fun trying to capture a shot for Ali's design school portfolio. She needed a magazine cover that had went with the store she created, hence the myriad of outfits I wore on this lovely sunny day..

                                                     

Emily and her absolutely beautiful boy, Thomas.

Currently infatuated with...

  Recently I discovered the Los Angeles based band Warpaint and they captivated me with both their sound and style; psychedelic rock laced with poignant lyrics and ethereal voices and gypsy rocker looks. I can't stop collecting images of them for inspiration. They have a free spirit yet still gritty rock and roll feel. If you are lucky enough to be going to coachella you should definitely check them out.

       

 

Swoon

Anyone who knows me knows the second I see feathers and leather I'm in love, so naturally I had a conniption while browsing some of my favorite blogs and stumbled upon these images. So here is a little visual catnip for you to enjoy...

Yes I know that these wings are obviously not wearable but how can you not love the whimsy and the fantastic nature of them?

How much do I wish that I could pull off this headdress??

Hi Hi, I am back from my northern california adventure and kicking off this week with a quick and casual monday shoot with Ali.  Since spring is starting out so beautifully, full of sunshine and light breezes, we were feeling a light and easy going style.  We stayed local...and I mean very local since we did the shoot in my bathroom (which I will say took me forever to paint ).  So anyways, before I start on some random tangent,  Happy April!!

and then we were interrupted...
