Summer Brights

As if I wasn’t already dying to go to the beach…now I want to go wearing giant rock necklaces and tribal crop tops.

Happy July!

I hope you enjoy every second of your holiday weekend. It’s always good to remember the freedoms and privileges we are afforded because we live in America – even with it’s faults. I begin to feel that summer is in full force when the 4th comes around, and I never fail to wonder where June has gone.

On Holiday

I love this editorial. It looks like a honeymoon, which sounds lovely right about now. The soft palette and gorgeous swimwear has me ready to jet to Acapulco (where this was shot) right now.

The Palm Springs Getaway

I have not seen so much rain in a short time span as I’ve seen over the past week. I’m beginning to forget what the sun looked like. That is, until I saw this gorgeous photoshoot of a Palm Springs getaway.

Bridal Inspiration {Our Honeymoon}

We booked our honeymoon! AHHH! I’m so excited. We are going to Italy (Rome and Positano) for eight days. We’re staying at the Marcella Royal Hotel in Roma and Hotel Buci de Bacco in Positano.

Rome…

Love Story

A breathtakingly romantic editorial about young love in them most pheromone-inducing setting.

Also…one of my favorite love songs for you.

Shall We go to Paris?

I love, love, love these short films by Live the Language. I didn’t need convincing to know I want to go to Paris.

Also check out London, Beijing and Barcelona.

Visions of Vacation

With no vacation in sight (honeymoon? too far away) and two feet of snow on the ground, indulge me as I daydream.
