Home is where the heart is

 

For the first time in 6 years I got to visit my family back home in Minneapolis for Thanksgiving. I usually go for Christmas or New Years but this Thanksgiving was extra special because my oldest sister dropped the news that she would be visiting from Laos! It was a no-brainer. Our entire immediate family had not been together for about 3 years since she moved back to the country. I'm proud that she's being Ms. Independent so far away from everyone.

Through out the years that I have been in LA, my home town has gone through some pretty cool changes and I wanted to do some posts from there. This location is some of the things! Of course I picked the coldest day to do this but it was still very worth it.

The item I made for this shoot is simple but it certainly served a huge purpose for this post because how chilly it was making it very appropriate. I made the studded letter beanie right there keeping my head comfy and warm! I think I will be sporting this one very often this winter especially when I'm back home again for Christmas!!! Oh my!!

Let me know if you would like a custom beanie made for you or someone special!

Glitz and Glamour

Remember the black sweatshirt with the small glitzy contrast pocket from the Bull's outfit? Of course you do! It was only my last post. When I saw this fabric I knew I had to do something big with it. The print is amazing. New Year's Eve was just around the corner so I had to do something for that. Yes it was a few weeks ago, so here is what I wore out. A high slit evening dress which you can wear as a halter style, off the shoulder, or single strap. Ooh la la. Oh, and see my NYE nails! Incredibly jeweled! Pointed shoulder bolero jacket; Papaya, platform heels; Bakers. Photos by Katie Ralston and Arturo Pulido.
