Remember when I was a REDHEAD?! 🥰 #tbt
It’s time for a new hair situation for me, and I’m taking your vote? What should I do next?
Strawberry Blonde? Peach? Platinum? Brown?

Okay, so it doesn’t really snow in LA ❄️ but a girl can still dream of a White Christmas, right?!
I’ll be in Seattle for the holiday, and really hope I wake up to a blanket of perfect white. Where are you spending your holiday?

When people ask my favorite color: SUNSET 🌅
I know that’s technically not a single color, but that’s exactly why I pick it... because it’s the colors working together, blending, changing, fusing, reaching a saturation that feels like it can’t exist anywhere else in nature. Plus I can never pick favorites, so I get to cheat a little bit 😉 And sunsets will never stop being my most prominent inspiration.

“True success is achieved by stretching oneself, learning to feel comfortable being uncomfortable.”
I start every morning with stretching. I roll out, use a theraball, and fold myself like an origami bird.
It’s both good for my body and a great reminder for my day... to be pliable, flexible, and to handle the stress each day with a bend and not a break.

Life is FULL of set backs.
When i find myself under the weight of these setbacks, it’s easy to feel like so much time was wasted; I feel foolish, and I get stuck in a loop, wondering what’s the point in trying.
.
The story behind this image is the embodiment of that. I loved this shoot and the team and the final product, but hit set back after set back after set back.
But this time I’m not letting another set back stop me. I’m sharing the work here and pressing on to the next.

This photo is already a few weeks old, but since my @carolynne_may is still in France for a few more days, and I miss being a total idiot with her, I decided this was appropriate for the day.

FALL LIPS 💋
Since weather doesn’t change that much from summer to fall in LA, I’m giving you the season change on my lips!
All summer it’s lighter colors, glosses and balms. Fall rolls around, and while it’s still 80 degrees here, I’m giving you a velvet red matte lip color from @Velvet59 in Gigi.
#protip - apply the color in the center and blend out to edges, then take a q-tip and blur the edges of your lip line to give you a softer, all day any day look. Red lips don’t have to be too serious!

There’s nothing I love more than creating with my friends. And shooting with my girl @morganajames for her new album in Malibu was life. We shot her, makeup free, in the early morning golden light on El Matador Beach. Of the hundreds of incredible images we captured, these are the 4 that makeup her album art.
.
She did a top to bottom recreation of the Beatles White Album with her genius husband/music-director/multi-instrumentalist @dougwamble that is seriously inspired.
Do yourself a favor and go download it now.
(I made it easy for you, you can go swipe up in my stories to hear it now!)

Trying to decide what Halloween costume would go with this makeup. I’m thinking cranky vampire 🧛♀️ .

Looking back at this week like, “Whew!”
For reals, it was a great week, but one full of some challenges that needed instant maneuvering, from missing equipment on a shoot, to a big bout of fatigue, and beyond. But it reminds me that I’m able to work with very little to create beautiful things. So let’s close out this week with confidence knowing we can do ANYTHING!

Are Pumpkin Spice Latte’s the most basic of basic?
Vote Yes/No
I can’t help but love the fall, especially in LA where I get my #bulletprooflatte iced with a little pumpkin spice. It’s my healthy treat and I’m somewhat obsessed.
You can call me basic all day long, cause I’m bulletproof, too.

I fully missed the memo that yesterday was #meangirlsday! This pic would have been perfect, since on #wednesdayswewearpink! But it’s Thursday and I’m obsessed so I’m posting it anyway. Who says you can’t wear pink in the fall?!

Happy #worldballetday from me and my favorite #ballerina! @carolynne_may 👯♀️ We shot at the literal crack of dawn in Rome at the #trevifountain this summer to avoid all the tourists, and it was so worth it! And now I have this darling girl in LA with me!
Where should we shoot next?!

Y’all know I’m all about that glow! I’m in New York this week, so the humidity is giving me some, ahem, extra glow! Talk about #dewydumplings over here!

I only have one setting at weddings- 110%
.
It’s because I’m so honored to be able to serve my darling friend @bluueyes51 on her wedding day, to serve as her 2nd brain, be with her throughout her day, including post ceremony during her bridal shoot, and then to party it down with her and her husband @savedbamaboy into the wee hours of the night!
She is a treasure, and looked stunning as she married an amazing man. I’m still basking in all of the incredible details she planned, but tired as can be! Congrats my darling dear!

The face you make when all your friends go to Italy without you! 😲
. . . Even though you were just there!
You better believe I’m going to be sharing a bunch of my Italy photos from my trip in June to help me cope with my #FOMO
