I went to SF for a lunch date yesterday at Marlowe with two wedding industry friends, and wanted to dress warm enough but I'm also so over pants, so knee high boots and a skirt were my answer.

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.

Mismatched Outfit: Floral Print & Stripes
I had a request to show how to wear multiple prints in one outfit, and I loved that idea! I actually do this, so it's a super fun post for me. I think the key to mixing prints is keeping within a similar color palette or tone.

Our Vacation To Kauai And Why It's My Favorite
This was hands down my favorite vacation. I can't really pinpoint what one thing made it so great, because everyday there was so fun. The island of Kauai is quite different then Maui where I'd been twice before. It's more lush then Maui, had so many different types of landscapes for being a tiny island, had the most delicious, authentic tasting food, and some of the nicest people. We spent 9 days in our VRBO that sat just a few steps from the sand, which was basically our own private beach.

Our Master Bedroom Makeover At The Poff Pad
This room started as a tan box, so of course I painted it ALL white. A nice, cool white with no warm tones. We slowly got furniture for it, as we'd been sleeping on our mattress on the floor in our last few houses and also didn't have nightstands. The mid century modern dresser was a find from Craigslist when we lived in SLO, and we refinished it to have a darker stain compared to the red one it came with.

A Mid Week Break At Santana Row
Being self employed means getting to make your own schedule and be your own boss, which I love!! Which then means random weekday lunches and shopping trips from time to time, because why the heck not! Yesterday my mom and I went to Santana Row in San Jose to have lunch with our good family friend Mary. When my mom had suggested lunch here, it was perfect timing because I needed to return makeup to 100% Pure as well as purchase new glasses from Warby Parker.

Backless, Off The Shoulder Sweater
The only thing that gets me through winter (because I'd much prefer summer), is comfy sweaters and cute boots!! I love this sweater from SheIn. I'm wearing it off the shoulder, but it can worn many ways. The back of the sweater is adorable, and gives me the perfect excuse to wear my strappy bralette!

Winter Bridal Shower Attire
Yesterday I went to a bridal shower for my friend Steph. Winter weather always makes parties tricky, since you don't want to be cold. I decided to layer, and wore a skirt over tights and a long sleeve shirt under my faux fur jacket.

Striped Bell Sleeve Shirt
I know that a lot of people don't have time to accessorize their outfits every day, so instead, find clothing items that already have something fun going on. That's why I love this bell sleeved shirt from SheIn. I just threw on 2 chokers, my ripped jeans, boots, and I'm off. It's a super easy outfit, and this shirt can be worn with a skirt as well if you want to dress it up.
