IN THE ROSE GARDEN

I just have two things to say about this post.  Ringling's rose garden is quite possibly my favorite place ever.  It never gets old and had such ever changing beauty.  I love seeing the rose's growth in each season.  Second, these jeans are my life.  I've been wearing them since I got them on my birthday.  They are the high rise cigarette jeans from Urban Outfitters, and at just $59 a pop you can't beat them. 

That's all.  xo

IN THE GARDEN, BY THE SEA

Cami and I have been meeting for our weekly coffee chats / street style at Ringling Museum.  The water is so calm, the air cooler, and the early morning just so peaceful.  Plus there is so much to explore there, it's really a local treasure I've taken for granted.  I can't wait to keep finding new beauty around these parts and I'll especially be looking forward to the rose garden being in full bloom sometime soon.

CASUAL ISLAND DAYS

Remember the mid-drift bearing days of high school? Yeah. I never really thought that style would come back around but (to me) there's something so cute about the crop top paired with high waisted on the bottom. It's casual, fun, and can transition from day to night.  All these pieces were so inexpensive but so comfortable...sometimes those random finds make the best "go to" outfits!

A few photos from location scouting and shooting freestyle with Cami.  I haven't taken these gold sandals off since I got them, I love.  I have also grown pretty found of cut outs and florals (as usual) for summer.

FREESTYLE : VOLUME 4 // STREET ART + COLOR POPS

 I've always been a huge fan of graffiti art.  There is just something so fun and energetic about the style and array of colors.  How great is the giant lizard? Just look at how graphic and intricate his design is. This pop of blue in Cami's dress was perfection.  These were taken last week when we were location scouting around downtown Sarasota.  We discovered lots of little back alleys and side streets with all kinds of awesome stuff happening...many hidden treasures in the Rosemary District.

CALL ME...MAYBE?

After driving around in circles looking for perfect spots to shoot with Cami, things get a little goofy / borderline weird.  I don't really like to pose / be in pictures but when given a prop, it makes everything ok.  So thanks Dad, for getting me that pink phone attachment thing for my iPhone, it has truly come in handy.  I'm not sure who I was pretending to yell at but it was fun nonetheless.  I'm excited to share the official style posts from this day (of Cami), we found some really cool places to shoot at...stay tuned for those on Monday! xx

STYLED: CAMILYN BETH X SHANNON KIRSTEN VOLUME 03

This week's post was such a fun remix of the style shoots Cami and I have been doing together.  This is actually a little sneak peek of what is to come in her fall line...I mean a very tiny preview, she's got a lot of great stuff cookin' up folks!  These shoots have been so much fun for us...it's inspiring to work with one of my best friends (especially since she is someone who just oozes creativity and great ideas), we've been exploring new places, and have time in between to just chat, catch up, and throw ideas back and forth.  It's always nice to step away from the computer and out of the office to do something extra that inspires you. I hope you guys are liking these as much as we are! Keep an eye out for next weeks, it's awesome.  xx
