SPRING IS IN THE AIR

I recently visited the Arboretum with a close friend and my mom while I was visiting Texas a few weeks ago. We were told it was the best time of the whole entire year to see everything in full bloom. Boy, was I in for surprise. Sooooooo amazing! I cant believe the how vibrant all the colors are and how they quickly come to life when seeing them in person!

I can't believe how huge these koi fish are! Ridiculous I tell you!

"Poetry Gardens"..enough said

I was really fond of this tree! When I saw it, I couldn't take my eyes off it. Perfect color and texture. Just budding from the beautiful ground below. There was an aura about it that was very calm and comforting. I had to take a photo with my love tree!

Our furry little friend we met along the way

I've always been a fan of nature and trees and flowers *all the fuzzy things in life >.<*. Botany was always something I was interested in and I remember being a child and my parents spending countless hours in the front yard perfecting it to a tee for their own satisfaction as well as the local "yard of the month contest". Such a prestigious honor when you have children and hit that mid to late 30's period of your life. Meanwhile, I laid around the back yard picking honey blossoms from our tree and continued to eat them. I really love to appreciate the small things in life that may not always come to mind when thought up, but always bring a smile to your face. Spring is the birth of the rest of the year! Better make it a good one!

Ciao!

So the weekend is finally here. Coachella is a 3 day music festival held in the deserts of California on the beautiful polo fields under the never ending sun! I live for this weekend every year! cant wait!

I recently had dinner with some of my posse and a good friend visiting from London at Takami in Downtown LA.

The food was absolutely fabulous! I cant wait to return again! It was on the 21st floor and the views were amazing!

I've been working alot with Ryan Burke Photography. He's a local fashion photographer/good friend of mine located in LA. He's really got a keen eye for good photos!

LOVE.RENAISSANCE.COUTURE.

A deeper look into the editorial shot by one of my favorite fashion photographers, Tim Walker, for the latest Vogue Italia March 2010 issue.

I absolutely love the aesthetic for the shoot. With use of these one of a kind couturier based pieces set in what would remind one of a late 1600's french castle or palace of some sort. It goes to show that romanticism is still appreciated in the world of fashion & art today, as is living throughout history and taking inspiration from the many fore-fashion fathers before us!
