WEEK IN PICTURES + FAVORITES

another weekend flew by?! i was happy to have a great photo-shoot with this pretty gal!:

i also love Stephanie's personal style and i had to take a picture before she was off to her saturday night..she looks comfy cool...we shot some great party dress's for the approaching holiday party season..some great coats and blazers are coming too ready to cover up for winter in pretty vintage garb...it's to bad it does not go below 50 in los angeles..at least cold enough to wear the heavy vintage coats or fake fur..

i really did not have a chance this weekend to take any pictures..but i did some digging of old pictures i took and came across these gorgeous pictures of Zoe in 07 with a cute embroidered mexican dress, it's not vintage but it is reminiscent to the old vintage dress's of the 70's and very popular on ebay..

Zoe actually took advantage of the camera while we were on a break from the shoot, she took this one of herself and i thought it came out with a very cool fuzzy effect..i called it Zoe in movement...

here are some random photos of where i wanna be this week..two of my country..honduras:

i have been to these ruins, breathtaking...they were in the middle of the jungle..i will do a later post on where i was born..it's very unknown tourist wise it is more popular with the european tourist..

oh and one more thing, i am loving all the fall eats & drinks that are available now..me and Zo can not get enough of pumpkin waffles, bread & pancakes..we had it for dinner on thursday night..

and i am on my second cup tonight of this delicious tea, it's candy cane green tea from trader joe's..it's minty sweet flavor combined with the green tea is the best combo i've tasted in a while..

the etsy shop will be updated daily this week, a sneak peek post will be coming thursday night..

hope you had a blessed Sunday!

THE DESERT AND VINTAGE

this weekend was my birthday weekend..i turned 32 on July 5th..birthdays to me are not a big deal i pretty much know how old i am according to how old my daughter is..we are 20 years apart so i tend to keep track that way..other wise i do not keep track..so no partying for me but i did do several of my favorite things with my favorite person..which is what i enjoy best.

we took a little road trip to the california desert to go do some digging in search of vintage, and boy i hit the goldmine..

i got a replenishment of vintage goodies for the shop which some of it will hit this weekend..half on Etsy half on Ebay...but i did find the greatest birthday gift of all, a gorgeous 1980's Valentino floral sun dress..i felt like a kid again in a candy shop in which i found the golden ticket..i can't wait to show it off soon on a future post.

it was quite windy, but i love these pics along with my cute Mexican embroidered top my best friend Viv gave to me on a previous birthday.

beautiful blue sky..California is a great state, no where else can i get city, desert, ocean, mountains, melting pot of culture and snow..we were in search for poppy fields that grow by the thousands which is what this desert town is famous for..but sadly when we found the fields they were not in bloom..oh well next time.

i also found this super cute 1980's Polaroid camera..

i think i had this one as a kid.

i can't wait till friday there's allot going on for BELLA this weekend..happy wednesday.
