Happy (or not so happy?) Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend, I’m still recuperating from my eventful one.  Saturday was filled with running errands all morning, a GREAT meeting with the amazing Janet from ShopModerne, and I celebrated my friend’s birthday in downtown.  Sunday was even crazier, I styled an amazing editorial with Stephanie Williams (stay tuned for some sneak peeks!) and that lasted pretty much the entire day.  There were great clothes and a great team overall.

Today’s outfit captures the beauty of wide leg pants.  Trust me, it’s really hard to pull off but I love the shape of it and how it just moves in the wind.  I paired it with a shimmery top and my neon necklace which I’m in love with!!

Have a great week everyone!

This past Sunday I took a mini roadtrip to beautiful Laguna Beach with my dear friend and talented makeup artist, KC. :)   I was especially excited/nervous/anxious/giddy that day because I was working with Stephanie Williams.  Her photography style is very soft, feminine, and captivating.  I have admired her work ever since I saw it on ShopRuche.com and fell in love. It truly was an honor working with such a talented and creative team!

I styled a very whimsical-inspired editorial, filled with lace, sequins, beaded details, and flowy pieces. I loved mixing all the different textures together, and playing with layering.  Natalie was such a trooper during this crazy shoot (it was really cloudy and windy that day) especially for that last shot in the water!! I had the best time and these teaser pictures made it so worthwhile. <3
