Looking through Fall

Festive parties, fashion shows, art exhibits, boutique openings, cooler weather, live music, good friends...things that are keeping my life busy in the city of angels...

Americana

My stylish long blonde hair buddy and I always wind up being the muses for our (photographer) friend who has us striving (for fun) to capture the perfect 1960's or 70's album cover...not so shockingly, these photo sessions tend to happen when we've all had a glass of whiskey, or three. This one had an Americana feel with the flag backdrop, denim and stetson hat...

Our first attempt below (taken on the 4th of july) cracks me up everytime I see it...
 We named it "Shattered Hearts"...1969 in the Winter storm...

Gettin' Hitched

This past weekend was pretty epic -- two good friends of mine, who are also two of the most creative and in-love couples I've ever met, had their wedding weekend extravaganza in none other than my beloved Joshua Tree. Adding to the excitement, my long lost bestie who now lives in NY flew in town for the event...giving us the chance to road trip Thelma and Louise style (well, not quite) to the desert. From sketchy truck stops to our peaceful cabin adobe, whiskey shots, PBR, the local farmers market, a risky country style breakfast diner, dancing, fire pits, pappy and harriets, live music, old friends, too many tacos, live duck hunt wedding games, photo booths, local shopping, pearl jam car concerts, dirt roads and breath taking sunsets....the entire weekend was one to remember. The wedding itself had so much detail it was hard to not take pictures at the turn of each kitchy corner. I had no doubt that this artistic couple would go above and beyond with their combined creativity. The 'desert chic' theme was also the PERFECT place to wear my vintage velvet maxi dress I bought in Austin over the Christmas holidays...I just never found quite the right occasion....until this :)
