[OOTD] Still Sands

Although I'm actually a cold-weather fan, I occasionally enjoy the cheerful island sunshine weather as well.  Especially when it helps photos come out this lovely! I love the sunkissed, hazy feel in some of these shots.  Makes everything look dreamlike and nostalgic.

My dress was so comfortable and flowy to wear. I love it. I am generally not a huge maxi-dress fan but this one definitely tickled my fancy. It actually arrived literally the day before I left for the island!  It was meant to be :) Hope you like these simple shots!

[OOTD] Pristine Waters

Hello all~! I just got back from my short weekend getaway to Catalina Island for my birthday vacation!

It was so gorgeous on the island like it always is and the weather was absolutely beautiful. The sands are white and pristine, the water so clear and crisp, and the sunshine warm on your skin.  I love the resort feel of the tiny island.

I was able to sneak in some shots here and there.  Hope you like them!  I personally was pleasantly surprised by how they came out.

Looking through the photos and editing them makes me feel so beachy and summery all over again! I can't wait for summer to be here in full force!

[OOTD] Heaven's Sole Design

I had some time to snap a few sunset photos today and I like how they came out more artistic and grungy rather than pristine and super ootd of the day look to them.  The only down part is that the details of the outfit aren't so clear.  Hope you like the bright, sunlit photos!

[TRAVEL DIARY] Dublin, Ireland - my long lost kingdom

Ireland is a place I could see myself retiring to: it's so peaceful and dreamlike yet there's an undercurrent of sparkling energy and a subtle sense of vitality.

This city is alive, throbbing with a pulse of deep-rooted history and fresh innovation at the same time.

The contrast is dizzying - in the best kind of way.

It's a beautiful city and a place I hold so very dear to my heart.

I fell in love with Ireland at first sight and I've not looked back since.

[EVENT] Style Fashion Week Sunday March 9

Today was the kickoff start day of STYLE Fashion Week in LA and I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer for the event!

I absolutely love the behind the scenes aspect even most of the time it's quite hectic and actually not glamorous at all, but I love seeing how things really are - the cogwheels of the show, in a sense; I think it's really interesting how everything comes together perfectly in the end despite all the stress/panic involved in the behind the scenes the shows.
