HAPPY FRIDAY + SOME LINKS

Whooo TGIF! 

I'm shooting at the beach today and have a wedding to shoot tomorrow, I'm pretty excited. Also looking forward to relaxing with my family on Sunday for Mother's day. 

Here are a few things I enjoyed around the web this week: 

*This Mara Hoffman swimsuit is everything 

*pink sandals seem necessary for summer 

*Fun bags are taunting me lately; this watermelon, sharks, and of course a cat (possible beach bag?). I finally pulled the trigger and got this "bye" one (it sort of represents an inside joke so it just cracks me up)
*Lusting for this embellished maxi, would be pretty for a formal wedding
*My friend made these tangerine mojitos for Cinco de Mayo and they were amazing.

*This DIY lip balm looks easy and cute
*I love every recipe and word that Local Milk posts
*I've become very interested in the National Stationery Show, enjoying Nole's sneak peeks of some vendors showing this year.
*This really fun illustration series on the Jealous Curator

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

CAMILYN BETH TURNS ONE!

A huge, happy FIRST birthday to Camilyn Beth! 

I'm so proud of my best friend and SO excited for the future of Camilyn Beth.  It has been crazy awesome to be a part of Cami's journey as a designer.  It goes way back to even before we went to fashion school yearrrrs ago!  To watch someone's dreams unfold, especially someone you love and a company you believe in, it's just so inspiring to say the least.  

I have always been excited to see what Cami was going to come up with next.  Even before Camilyn Beth, she has always been bursting with creativity, determination, passion, and excitement for art and fashion.  One thing I have always admired about Cami is her ability to remain positive no matter what.  We all know how hard your first year of business can be, this has been my first too...there were times I complained to her, complained a lot actually, on the verge of tears...she always has something encouraging and uplifting to say.  That optimism and ability to see the best in each situation just adds that much more to the success of her business. 

I always knew she was going to make this dream happen one day.  And well, she has definitely made in happen in a big way.  And in just her first official year!  I am excited to see Camilyn Beth grow and especially to keep dreaming up shoots and ideas alongside my sweet friend.  

The most exciting news of all is the launch of her NEW site today! Hop on over to camilynbeth.com to see!

Congratulations and...
