dusty date.

m'dusty came up to visit this weekend.

father's office converts, we are.

we both got the father's office burger.

dusty's kinda picky when it come to food

and had nothing but good things to say about the foodstuffs.

success.

i take all my boys to magnolia.

they fall in love...with magnolia AND me.

see how my plan works there?

we sampled the banana pudding for the first time.

AMAZING! so so SO so delish.

after i sweetened dusty up with lots of good food,

i batted my lashes and convinced him to put together

a shelf for me.

that dusty, such a sweetie.

hey OC peeps, come visit! we'll eat good food

and have a grand ole time!

i love my family.

LAdventures: park's finest.

last week, renee rallied the ladies for a night out at the park's finest.

only open on fridays, filipino bbq is the name of the game.

shredded pork, tri tip, coconut beef, grilled veggies, cornbread.

aminat.

final edits from my shoot with rowan daly + brandon sapin.

had a great time shooting at griffith park. gorg.

love love love.

golden globe recap.

the ladies of the golden globes rocked it OUT this year.

i was doing some seriously drooling over the looks.

here are a few of my faves:

i'm not usually a big fan of super straight hair on the red carpet

but heidi klum rocks it out to perfection.

it's super sleek and gorg but has a hint of bend and movement

that take it from ordinary to extraordinary.

salma's luscious curls are nice but it's her color

that's totally drool worthy.

it's a brunette take on the ombre that is so delish.

emma stone is perfection.

her color. her coloring.

love the side swept part. so simple, so chic.

who were your golden globe faves?

outtakes.

teamed up with uber talented photographer lindsey boice

and celebrity makeup artist ermahn ospina this weekend.

it was a late night shoot that went into the wee hours of the morn.

if this outtake is any indication, the sleep deprivation was totally worth it.

stay tuned for the final images. so excited!
