    2nd Wedding Anniversary Shoot – Part II

    IMG_2581 copy

    Apparently “tomorrow” in my world is the day after tomorrow. We were in San Diego yesterday for business meetings which ate up my entire day (in a good productive way, of course)! Which brings me to these shots of us by Lisa Linh and Ken Soleta – we went for a more professional look for our second outfit, although I don’t think I’d actually wear this outfit to a meeting 😛 not the dress at least lol. It’s really fitting though because in addition to being the ultimate supportive husband who takes all my blog photos and constantly pushes me to do what I love 🙂 my husband Chris and I also work together. It’s not too common for couples to be able to spend literally 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, together and still get along so it’s definitely something I’m so grateful for! Our synergy is really amazing and a true blessing. He’s my real life Prince Charming, my Superman!

    In case you missed it, check out Part I here. By the way, I’m wearing an H&M Blazer,  Kelly Wedges c/o Sole Society & Glint & Gleam Rose Gold jewelry c/o Shoplately.

    Are you guys all ready for the holidays?! I just barely started Christmas shopping Monday so I’m heading back out to the mall now to hopefully knock out the rest of my list. Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you’re all enjoying these posts – a little break from my typical outfit posts 🙂

    Special thanks again to Lisa Linh and Ken Soleta for the adorable anniversary photos!

    2nd Wedding Anniversary Shoot – Part I

    IMG_2364 copy

    Last weekend, my husband, Chris and I had our 2nd Wedding Anniversary shoot with my super sweet friend Lisa Linh and her second shooter, Ken Soleta. We shot on a rooftop of a gorgeous Downtown Los Angeles building. Lisa did an amazing job at capturing us, our love and relationship 🙂 I absolutely adore the laughing shot of us below and us playing around with the pool table (billiards is one of our favorite pastimes – 9 ball is my fave)! She was a pleasure to work with and had such cute, fun ideas like the adorable highschool-like hallway scene below. Stay tuned tomorrow for part II (our second outfit for the shoot)!

    Check out pictures from our 1st Wedding Anniversary shoot last year here, and some of our wedding pictures here. Also, outfit details from my outfit here.

    A Fashion Blogger Gift Guide!

    Christmas Gift Guide for your Fashion Blogger Friend
    The other day, I was racking my brain for what to get my fellow fashion blogger friends for Christmas. Not as easy as you’d think because it always seems like they (we) have everything fashion related already! I mean, sure I could go with a non fashion related gift but for a Fashion Blogger? It just doesn’t seem right 😉 so while I was whining about not knowing what to get everyone, my husband said, “the best gifts to get your friends are the gifts you’d get yourself.” Why, thank you, genius husband of mine. 😛 Duh! Since I was planning to do a holiday gift guide post, I thought it would be a great idea to share gift ideas for Fashion Bloggers and instead of making a wish list of items I’d want, I decided to share my personal favorite fashion blogging related gifts that I’ve already received, have and love!

      1. The Bossi Bag by THEIT – What is there not to love about a fashionable camera bag?! You can even take out the protective dividers and carry it as a normal handbag! I have the studded version and absolutely adore it! Stay tuned for a blog post next week featuring all the glorious details of it 🙂
      2. Timbuk 2 Giftcard to Custom Design a Sleeve as pictured or one of their other cool bags – my previous post mentioned the awesome Timbuk2 laptop bag I designed but this sleeve pictured above is super cute, too, and affordable! It’s such a fun way to let your Fashion Blogger friend be creative and custom design their own gift!
      3. The Model Mirror by Les Tai Tai – This adorable compact mirror lights up like backstage at NYFW! Not only is it adorable, fun and quirky, mine has been so useful for those nights out on the town at fashion events!
      4. Julep Maven Monthly Subscription – As a blogger, maintaining my well manicured nails is key for those pretty detail shots of my rings & bracelets so I love my Julep monthly subscription – every month I get a nice little box including 3 nail products. You can prepay for a subscription, giving your fashion blogger friend a gift that keeps on giving! She already has too many nail polishes? I feel ya 😉 I almost filled up my 60 bottle nail polish display already! A fun nail art kit would be a great alternative!
      5. The 50mm f/1.8 Lens for Canon or Nikon – This is definitely the go-to lens for 95% of my fashion blogger friends. Perfect for that beautiful bokeh in the background and extremely affordable in the world of photography! She already has it? If you can splurge, I assure you this mother of all lenses would make any fashion blogger’s Christmas one of the best!

    What have your favorite fashion blogging related gifts been?

    Thanks so much for stopping by my blog 🙂 hope this post helps you decide on the right gift for your fashion blogger friends!

    This post is LONG overdue! A couple months back, I had the super fun opportunity to be on a Google+ Hangout On Air with Timbuk2 chatting about upcoming trends and their awesome custom designed bags. Afterwards, I got to use their customize tool to design my very own laptop bag. It was so much fun! Especially since I could finally say adios to my boring old plain black Dell bag that I was using. Customizing my bag was SO EASY, but deciding on what I wanted was SO HARD! All the various styles, colors options, prints and designs were super cute and the combinations you can create are endless so being as indecisive as I am, it took dozens of different combinations to finally narrow down what I wanted. Here’s one of the other combos I made (the tool is so easy and fun that it’s super addicting):

    Timbuk2 Custom Design Process

    The bag I customized was their Laptop Messenger – it has tons of room for my 15″ work laptop, iPad, and all the chargers, mouse and can even fit a couple binders/folders and my personal belongings (I use it as my personal bag in addition to my carry on when I fly). I even throw in my camera sometimes when traveling with it. I added on the Tough-Tek Strap Pad which was the perfect amount of extra padding for your shoulder, especially when I carry so many gadgets! I also added the Shagg Bag which fits & protects both of my cell phones (work & personal) plus any credit cards or IDs.

    I decided on a combination between zebra, waxed canvas and chevron printed fabrics with purple and pink accents!

    Love the Shagg Bag for easy access to my ID & cell phone when traveling! The inside is lined with a super soft fuzzy liner that protects and won’t scratch your cell phone or camera or whatever gadget you decide to use it for.

    I apologize for the grainy/blurry pictures of me 🙂 lighting inside of Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport wasn’t working with me. These pictures were from a month ago when I finally had the chance to put my bag to use during a trip to Sin City. By the way, Timbuk2’s bags are made in San Francisco, CA and have a lifetime guarantee. They also have a great recycling program! Timbuk2 bags are definitely an awesome gift idea for that special someone who wants something unique, custom designed and fashionable for traveling/commuting!

    Special thanks to Timbuk2 for including me in their Google+ Hangout on Air and letting me design my very own bag!
