{EXCITING finds + our trip to Oak Glen}

5:40 PM | Labels: , , , , , , , ,

This morning, our family went on our annual trip to Oak Glen to enjoy some fall festivities. We arrived at about 8:30 am and headed straight to the homemade apple and cinnamon donuts (I have been craving them for a while now)-sooo YUMMY! We then went and had some breakfast, walked around to see the vendors, fed some deer, played with the softest bunny rabbits ever, and did some shopping which leads me to sharing my awesome finds today!
(Or at least I think they are awesome!)
 
I found this cool red and gold statement ring for super cheap amongst lots of other trinkets. I think it makes a perfect fall ring-see the leaf shapes? :)

Next up, see those little "chocolate covered strawberries?" I was SOOOO excited to stumble upon these! I almost didn't even see these because they were clustered in with so many other random items but as soon as my eyes met them, I HAD to have them (& at $2.99 each, even more so).
Why would I need fake little strawberry desserts might you ask? Well, I created this little cake stand (my tutorial here) and I got these chocolate scented-chocolate truffle candles to add to the stand in our kitchen. I decided that I would go on a hunt for more little dessert pieces to add to the collection and so, when I saw the strawberries, they were perfect!
Next up, cupcakes and donuts! :)

On our way home driving through Yucaipa, we spotted a yard sale which is where I found this piece (& only $2)! This would be a cute decor piece for parties, styled shoots, etc. I'm going to get a few glass plates from the $1 store (white) & paint the iron either ivory (shabby chic style) or gold. Not sure yet.
What do you think?

I thought those were all quite exciting pieces don't you?
hahaha :)

Now for some pictures of the day.
(My camera on my phone started acting up and adding a crazy glare so I didn't take as many as I wanted)

{Enjoy.}
 
                                                   

 
 
 
 
A beautiful morning in the mountains. 
 
There were peacocks running around! So pretty!
 
& our little family.
(^see the crazy glare I'm talking about?)
 
It was such a good little family day!
If you haven't gone yet, I highly recommend the homemade donuts and the caramel apples!
DELISH!

Fall Inspired Portrait Shoot//Featuring Love Sparkle Pretty

10:27 AM | Labels: , , , , , , , ,

A dear friend of mine asked me if I had any accessory pieces that could be used for her fall inspired photoshoot. Once I found out that she was using pinecones, burnt orange, and little deer stationary, I couldn't resist! I created a little pine cone necklace and burnt orange fabric rosette ring. Both of these pieces are now available in the shop! Aurora from Vilcis Squared is such a beautiful person inside and out and her photos really capture that! What's really cool about her shoot was that she was photographing another photographer-Desiree Shuey from Desiree Shuey Photography!
You know there will be such great magic when 2 photographers collaborate!
The pretty hairstyling and makeup was created by Ashley Jael, and those delicious looking pies are made by Janelle Ungaro.

{Enjoy.}

A favorite fall color this year {Burnt Orange}

8:30 AM | Labels: , , ,

There always seems to be a new color each season that I am instantly attracted to and this Fall, it is definitely {burnt orange}. It just seems to captivate the essence of the season and makes me think of the cooler season, the crisp air, and for some reason...I then want my favorite hot drink at Starbucks-{hot soy chai. no water. 2 pumps chai. 1 pump vanilla. no foam. light whip cream. thank you very much.} I love the little details of this color and the not so little details of this color.

{Enjoy}
 
This dress is oh so lovely!

Love these skinnies! I actually tried some on at Marshall's but they didn't have my right size! Sad. I will try looking for some more of these soon!

8:06 AM | Labels: , , , , , , , ,

I just received these photos from Ashley in VA who is now a newlywed! :) A few months ago, I had the pleasure to create a bridal hairpiece for her big day. {It was an ivory flower with mustard yellow details and touches of lace as well as a detachable birdcage veil} I was so excited to see the photos from her wedding day! She looked absolutely stunning and her and her husband Mark are such a cute couple! Congrats to the both of you! Thank you so much for sharing your photos Ashley. Made my day. :)

{Enjoy.}
