Thought it was appropriate to make a post about our little adventure to The Rise exhibit. On display were thousands of uniquely carved pumpkins. There were simply too many to capture them all on camera so I've chosen a few I thought were especially interesting. As pictures are worth a thousands words, I'll let the pumpkins tell their

 As stated by the title, that is exactly what we did last weekend. I needed to drop off my phone at the Apple store to get it fixed and knew was going to take several hours. I'd planned to do some shoots while we waited. What I hadn't planned on was for it to rain! When I left

 I'm not too keen on DIY projects but thought this costume was the cutest thing ever. I had a talk with a friend and we encouraged each other to make something and show each other. And so I thought why not make a Halloween costume. It's fairly easy and does take a couple of hours. I split it

 We visited Tanaka Farm last year and decided to stop by there again this year (mostly because our favorite Thai food place is here). And once again, the weather was in the high 80s. I often forget that my legs too need protection from the sun. So while the rest of me was safe, my legs burned that

 I've been itching to wear this mock neck top ever since autumn officially began but weather in SoCal has been consistently in the high 80-90s. I despaired of ever experiencing fall in October because I honestly feel in my heart that it is the perfect autumnal month. How can one resist all those plump orange pumpkins decorating all

 When I first received this dress, which I bought on sale from ASOS, I was fairly disappointed in how loose it fit. I had already chosen one of the smallest sizes so imagine my dismay when I tried it on. The waist was down to my hips and the dress itself sagged in the most unflattering way. I've

 Remember what I said about owning 3 different versions of this dress? Well, on display for you today is her darling older sister! Sweet and demure grey with a familiar A-line shape. Scrunched cap sleeves as lovely as can be. Of course, hidden side pockets also run in the family. While not as bright and fresh as her

 As I type this, my right index finger is resting snuggly inside a DIY splint that I made. What in the world happened? Well, let me just simply say I received a nasty, deep cut right at the second knuckle. I won't go into details as to how it happened because it was rather gory. Let's just say

 I went with an entirely different look with this outfit. It just screams 90s to me. But my eyes could be defective. You can be the judge of that. While I don't think I can pull off the iconic chokers and brown/mauve lipstick and still look like myself, I feel like one of those women in the old

 Some days we find ourselves chasing after the last rays of sunlight with our hearts beating rapidly against our chests, wondering if we'll make it in time. And when we do, it's simply the best feeling. But we can't relax for long. Eyes scout out all the possible locations and lips paint the scenes. Sometimes it always doesn't
