Black and White

 ...my two favorite color combo. It's so easy to wear and accessorizing with something as simple as a faux fur shawl collar keeps it from getting boring...

happy weekend...

Nordstrom Fall Fashion Show

Sequin, boots and faux fur are a few of my favorite things this fall and I'm happy to see Nordstrom show a lot of that at the Fall Fashion show this year. Something new this season is the color 'oxblood' which is basically burgundy if you ask me. ;)

BFF

 

If there was a perfect way to meet my BFF this would have been it. I was shooting a fashion show at the Braven in Bellevue when I met Blake through a mutual friend. With her hair pin up in a big bun and dressed all posh in black she had sauve that would make any girl want to be her BFF. Needless to say we became instant friends and Blake invited me to a fashion show she was going to the following day. That next day we met up, had brunch, attended the fashion show, had another meal, watch a movie and went to happy hour. We ended up spending that entire day together. Our friendship developed quickly and naturally... I think a lot of it had to do with our love for fashion, food, champagne and girl time. When we were together we had the best time ever, we laughed a lot, dressed up for every occasion and loved exploring the city. Sadly about two years ago Blake moved back to South Cali and I've missed her dearly...

This past weekend Blake was in town visiting. We recapped how we met to my beau and the funny thing was we both went straight to the most important part - what we were wearing. We were so excited as we tried to recall all the details of our outfits that day. We spent most of the weekend reliving our good old days and I'm still paying for our late nights but it was so worth it.

Do you have a Blake in your life?

Fashion First Runway Show

Supporting local boutiques has always been important to me. Most of my investment pieces come from Nordstrom but the majority of my unique and trendy pieces are from boutiques. With my love of supporting local boutiques it was only natural for me to be a fan of Fashion First - a runway show that takes place once a year featuring looks from local boutiques. Some of this year's line up included La Ree Boutique, The Finerie, Sway and Cake, and Mercer. These are some of my random shots from the show...

Autumn

It was a warm September evening and we were experiencing what people would call an Indian summer. Exploring my mom's backyard, we found some fun places to shoot our autumn themed photoshoot.  Mailee wore the cutest outfit so appropriate for this autumn shoot...
