I'll never forget the time that I was wearing a sequined shirt (probably with jeans or something) on a Tuesday, and we went for coffee in downtown San Luis Obispo. The girl looked at me and said something similar to, "sequins on a Tuesday, you're so fancy."

Wedding Guest Attire
Let me start off by saying that my outfit cost me $15 total. Being a wedding guest doesn't mean you need to go buy a fancy dress or spend money on something you'll never wear again. I stand by the idea that you buy something that has multiple uses, can be dressed up or down, and can fit into most situations depending how you accessorize it.

Thrifted Yellow Dress (& Cactus, Duh!)
One of the main reasons I love thrifted clothes is because it makes your style more unique. Take this outfit for example, I'm wearing Forever 21 boots and a Forever 21 sweater, and if this dress was from there too, my whole outfit would be from one store which wouldn't be very interesting. Instead, I mixed this bright thrifted dress from Closet Creep with my "new" Forever 21 items to make my outfit more unique and more me.

The Key To A Complete Outfit Is: A Cute Pair Of Sunglasses
I love a good pair of sunglasses, hence why I have so many different ones! I usually alternate between a few pairs for a while, and then phase them out for new ones. When I say a while, I mean a few years. Adam got me my first "nice" pair of sunglasses for my birthday when we lived in San Luis Obispo. Which means I've had my Tory Burch sunglasses for at least 4 years and I still love them! I've recently discovered the brand Quay Australia, which has reasonably priced, SUPER cute sunglasses!

Poff Pad Living Room: Mid Century Modern Meets Boho
Our living room is the culmination of our mid century modern style meets antiques meets boho. The biggest thing was to paint the room white, and then we could bring everything in. We started the room with our large Joybird sectional and we worked around that. When figuring out the layout of this room we basically had two options for which wall would be the TV wall. There was an in wall plug for the TV already, on the wall it's now on, so we decided that made the most sense. Plus the way we have our couch allows for an "entry" area into the house where we put a long rug, a mirror and plant hanging on that wall.

Crochet Thrifted Sweater & Abandoned Buildings
We are back from a long weekend away in the Alabama Hills! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have thought I was in Joshua Tree, but I wasn't. I hadn't ever heard of this place until Adam showed it to me, and now I'm obsessed. It's like a less busy Joshua Tree where dogs are allowed everywhere! I'll do a full detailed post from our trip soon, once my film comes back and Adam puts together the video. One of things I love about adventuring is getting to photograph new backdrops and scenery that we don't have in the Bay Area. I'm always attracted to abandoned buildings and falling apart structures, so even though it started to rain on us, we did some photos anyway! :)

Mismatched Outfit: Flannel & Leopard Print
Best Friends Wear Floral Print
I'm a total planner, and when I want something, I go after it. This time, I wanted a group photo of me and my 8 best friends all wearing floral print. Sounds pretty easy right? Well it's a bit challenging with my sister in law living in southern California and my friend Sara living up near Sacramento. Plus everyone has crazy schedules, and I requested this shoot around the holidays! By some miracle, Monday morning right after Christmas worked for everyone!!!

Show Me Your Mumu & Film Photography Talk
Most of you know that I'm a wedding photographer (on top of running this blog), so obviously photos are super important to me! It also means that sometimes I get to teach my friends photography stuff, like shooting film, and they just so happen to need a subject to shoot ;) I think a lot of photographers don't like being on the other side of the camera, but I actually do. It sounds vein, I know haha, but it's actually great practice for putting yourself in your clients shoes, and I've always been a fan of documenting my own life.
