Look at my book

Today... today was a busy day. I started it off right when I met baby Coco, the brand spankin' new baby girl of Reachel of Cardigan Empire and her husband Andrew.

I should start with a little story. A story about this crazy shopping experience I had last night- at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. It's probably my favorite mall EVAR. Anyway, I spent like 4 gazillion hours in each of my favorite stores and spent a healthy chunk of cash. I tried on about a zillion things (which is highly unusual for me- I usually try on at home). I plotted and counted and pondered each thing I wanted to purchase. I left a happy customer, since I felt like I finally had a shopping experience in which I didn't need to hurry, and as a result found pieces for my wardrobe that reflected my actual style.

But.

This morning I returned 80% of it.

Lame!

The thing is, and I realized this while talking to Reachel, who has the.best.style.ever, that I don't even know what my style is. I like a LOT of looks, styles, etc. but in the end, I'm only faithful to one thing:

Comfort.

I like my sneakers and flats and such. I like my baggy tees and skinny jeans.

I like my hair kind of wild and my nails un-manicured.

Reachel asked me what my style is. I said, "modern hippie." Perhaps I should have just left the modern part out- I think I'm too slackerish to be modern.

She said she'd make me a lookbook. Now, I have no idea what that means but I'm really looking forward to it. Anything, ANYTHING touched by Reachel is an instant work of art. A piece of beauty.

Do you need a look book too?

Here's tiny (and I do mean tiny) Coco. Congrats, Reachel and Andrew.

Giveaway update

Whelp, we decided that we're gonna give somebody 75 bucks to ANYwhere, not just the two aforementioned awesome vendors.

Because, frankly- the men were complaining.

So- comment to win $75 bucks to anywhere!

BTW- I've moved hotels now. When checking in to this new place in the middle of nowhere, the clerk said, "Oh, I'm sorry, there are actally no more king sized beds available... we'll have to upgrade you to a deluxe luxury suite."

Oh, darn.

Upon arriving to my room, this time I was overcome with all things SOUTHWEST. Navajo this, cactus that. Random chilis hanging from random corners. It's pretty nice though, I must say. Again, the tub is so big I swam laps in it tonight. Backstroke, baby!

The desert theme is getting me all geared up for tomorrow's Phoenix shoots at the Desert Botanical Gardens. I went there today to check it out (I'm the queen of scheduling sessions at places I've never been to).

I was amazed. There really is beauty in the desert!

The image below was taken yesterday at the Boojum Tree Hidden Gardens in Phoenix.

Totally radical.

I am fairly new to mom logic and have begun my own blog www.momevolving.com. I put some of my pictures in the "inspiration" section but not many yet.
