The Gun Show

You wouldn't think I'd be found at the gun show on a Saturday morning....but you'd be so so wrong!  I got up early, got coffee and headed to the Reno Gun Show and bought some new ammo for my love bullet necklaces! It was so fun to wander around and see all the huge guns and I even found a pink one :)

 

{In the details...Current Elliot cargos, Converse, American Eagle hoodie, Gap vest, bag from Anthropology}

Love Bullet Love

Here are some photos my fabulous friend Matthew took of my LOVE bullet necklaces. He lives in New York and is too good to me :)

G is for Grateful...

These past few weeks in Arizona, I've had a lot to be grateful for. So it's so fitting that this morning at breakfast with my Mom and Aunt, this ring literally fell out of my Mom's purse and right in front of me...leaving me to try it on and keep it {it was originally my sister's...thanks sissy!} and now I can wear it {in this post as a thumb ring} and have a constant reminder to keep in mind what I've learned here. Thanks so much to my family for being so loving and understanding on this visit and always.

Bracelet Fanatic

If you haven't noticed lately.... I am obsessed with bracelets!!!! Of course I love semi-precious stones on a sturdy stretch band, but my new favorite is a foreign coin on leather. I am currently in the process of collecting fabulous materials, so stay tuned to see the next concoction. 

{And here are two I gave away to family, an Egyptian pound and a Mexican Peso}

Bracelet Workshop

 When my family came into town, I made them all beaded bracelets to remember their trip to Tahoe. I also loved personalizing their gift boxes, which I think adds so much sparkle to a simple gift. Anyways, all the ladies caught the beading bug and a trip to the bead store + many hours on the kitchen table with my Grammy.... and I feel officially in business! It's so much fun and I will be sure and snap some pics of these lovely girls in the jewelry!

 

{P.S. Here is what my night looks like! Beading with my Grams, happy life!}

Soludas and Stripes

 Here is me with our family friends that were visiting Tahoe this last week. I feel like a major Soludo ambassador lately because I cannot take mine off or stop raving about them... I even convinced my cousin to get a pair for her move to Kenya!

My Cousin + Love Bullets + Purple Pants

Here is my cousin Rachel {who everyone says we look alike! What do you think?} in an antiqued Love Bullet necklace and bright ass purple Current Elliott jeans. Which I'm obsessed with.

Shop: Dressed!

 My sisters, mom, aunt and I enjoyed shopping at one of my favorite boutiques the other day {Dressed in Truckee} where I got my Free People shorts from the previous post...and they also sell my Love bullet necklaces there! So hurry in and go shop!

 

{Sneak peek at the necklaces I dropped off there today!}

 p.s. saw this photo on Dressed's facebook, the owner Kait rocking her Long Love Bullet!

You know you're fabulous when...

Today, you are not only getting a "you know you're fabulous when" post....you're getting a double dose! Here are my cousin Rachel's new Sam Edelman kicks {see more here!} she was one of my bridesmaids and just recently moved to Seattle. So these shoes were a must, obviously. And below are a beautiful bouquet of flowers my friend Lo gave me today! I adore the blush roses and peonies. Fabulous!

Just Love This!

Sharing is Caring

 {When your friend is cold, you lend them your favorite striped Banana Republic sweater. That's how we roll.}

 

p.s. here is another photo of me wearing stripes doing the same thing I happened to come across on my photography blog!

Om Moments

Some days I look at my white OM tattoo more than others ....tomorrow is going to be one of those days. So I wanted to share the photos of me getting my favorite tattoo. I was 22 years old and look how short my hair was! And I still have that Marilyn Monroe tee shirt.

 

{And here is the tattoo tonight, over the Sartorialist's book}

 

Today is windy

This is what I wore to take photos for my new etsy banner...maybe I will post more of the photos later on my photography blog :) As for now I am heading into Bella Vita Accessories in Tahoe City to give Natalie the owner a package of goodies including some Egyptian coin and bullet necklaces! So go shop there if you are in the area. I got my fab + sparkly bracelet that I am wearing today there for a very reasonable price! Have a Happy Hump Day!

 {In the details...Chanel bag and sunglasses, Bordeaux dress, Converse, Spanx, Banana Republic cardi, Onyx bullet necklace}

Britney, je t'aime!

I love me some Britney Spears! Here is this amazing video I stumbled across on youtube. I don't know what's cooler: that he seamlessly mashes up two of her songs or how he looks like he, ummm, isn't a Britney fan. Had to share!
Good night Monday.

Silence

For Japan With Love

Please support this cause, bloggers! Also, I am donating 50% of my "Love" bullet necklaces on esty on March 18th....bloggers day of silence.

Le Love Bullets become MORE hardcore

I know, you thought a bullet necklace couldn't get ANYMORE in yo face and hard core. But it just did. Husband has been telling me he hates the chain I've been using and that I should buy my chain at the hardware store. It definitely took some convincing, but I finally checked out the chain at Swaggards Hardware and it's pretty cool. It's definitely a different look, but I like it. Plus it feels more sturdy! Thoughts?

{Above:gold, Below: silver and worn today}

 {More chains at the store}

mardi gras & le love bullet

 When Kelsen and I saw Lindsay Lohan's video on TMZ today we got so excited to see her in a bullet necklace! It's not mine, of course, but it looks like one I made for a friend, and sort of like the ones I added on my etsy site today. Have at it and Happy Fat Tuesday!

Mac + Manolos

Since I don't have a style post for the last two days, I thought I'd explain my blog header and background and why I think it embodies the spirit of this blog. I went to photography school at Brooks in Santa Barbara and I completely forget the assignment details, but it looks like some sort of advertisement class and this is what I shot. If I can remember correctly, I got an A :)... This is my friend Venessa. We got her make up done at Mac Makeup counter in the Nordstrom on State street and borrowed my aunt Mimi's Manolo heels! I posted my camera on a tripod and blasted the music! Then I digitally composed her in. This is the balcony of my apartment, those are my jeans shorts and yes we drank all of those bottles of champagne ourselves!

You know you're fabulous when...

...these Sam Edelmans are on your fireplace mantel because they just arrived via shopbop! That's just how you roll if you're my friend Jill. And when you roll like me {with a Canon 30d with a 50mm f1/4 fixed lens in your purse} you can snap some pics of these pieces of art during an after work hang out session last night. Gotta love the beautiful lighting on these puppies, and the fact that they are just chillin in front of a bonzai tree? Love my friend Jill! Happy Wednesday everyone!
