Clinton Lake-Beach Day

Hello readers,

The other weekend we went to Clinton Lake with a few friends. It was a spontaneous moment where we wanted to enjoy the summer and the beach for a bit longer. Rob and I were already missing LA so if we could go to a fake beach to pretend we were still in LA why not? Note to readers: Clinton Lake did have that squishy lake feeling so it WAS NOT A BEACH. (I think I felt a fish nibble my toe too so THAT was fun)

We went shopping in Lawrence at The Hyvee and purchased way too much food for just five people. We have gotten a littler wiser lately, instead of eating it all for lunch, we decided to grill out for dinner too. We ate, swam, played freakin' hot sand volleyball, had a few beers, had a few more beers, drank water, rinsed off, and got home before sundown. It was a really nice trip and I'm glad we have spontaneous friends. 

PS-More photos from visiting a Daft Punk Tribute Band and getting to meet Rebecca Minkoff tonight at KC Halls. Lots of fun stuff coming your way readers!

LA 2013-Labor Day Vacation

Readers!

I have been so bad about keeping updates but the amazing news is I finally received my new camera! It didn’t come in time for my LA Labor Day Vacation but I am just glad it finally arrived. I took my husband to LA for the first time to visit my family and one of my best friends Cassandra. I miss her a lot living so far away but she is pursing her dream of acting so I am nothing but proud.

I took a lot more photos with my iPhone but did manage to pull a few camera photos from our time in Santa Monica. I will post more later but wanted to just upload a few photos to enjoy. I have a lot more fashionable events coming up for the adverting world here in Kansas City so stay tuned!

THINGS I LEARNED IN CALIFORNIA

• There are such things as sand fleas and boy did they bite me. I was supposed to be all “sexy sexy” and my arms looked like I was a bad drug addict. (Spray on bug spray on beach)
• Not nearly enough people take full advantage of the ocean. They live RIGHT BY IT!
• LAX is a lot further away from Van Nuys than I remember.
• ALWAYS plan ahead b/c traffic sucks. Like if possible leave 3 hours early. We were stuck in traffic driving to San Diego for 2 extra hours :(
• ALWAYS pack snacks in the car if a wife becomes cranky and wants to yell at strangers stuck in traffic. (OR HUSBAND….)
• The Hollywood Bowl has to be one of the coolest things I have ever been able to see; we watched The Philharmonic play along with famous Oscar songs/movies.
• Don’t ever underestimate the love of family or friends. Truly so blessed and I’m reminded every time I get to visit them.
• Husbands make sexy taxi drivers/chauffeurs when running around Los Angeles.

Pool Parties

Readers!

Wow, a lot has happened since my last post. I did my first guest writing gig and summer has flown by way too fast! The guest writing gig was fun but it made me a lot more nervous than my normal blog posts. Branching out to new things is good within blogging and I hope to do a few more guest spots soon. My husband and I are pulling the trigger tonight and buying my dream camera. Fujifilm X-E1 I want to start arranging with a couple of my friends to do some fashion shoots and will have ALL my own original content so soon. 

These are a couple of photos I took at my friend's birthday party. They just scored this rad apartment behind this lady in KC's amazing house and they have access to her pool/bbq. A lot of my friend's that I hadn't seen in a long time were there and it was so fun to hang out to bbq. I hope to squeeze in a few more of these days before it gets too cold in Kansas City because God knows my pale skin needs a tan. I hope to start showing you in future posts some more fashion photography of my guy friend's wardrobes. I've been getting accused of my blog being too girly but I mean I'M A GIRL :P
