Weekend Roundup

Love is in the air... my favorite holiday, Valentine's Day, is only three days away! This year, I will be attending the Promsi event in Portland with OkCupid, and am giving away four tickets to Mermaidens' readers! Enter the giveaway here - I hope to see you there! Do you have anything fun planned?

Lancôme just launched their new spring line filled with pastels, flowers and sweets - all my favorite things! I have serious heart eyes over this macaron shaped blush/blender duo!

One of my all time favorite designers, Hannah Kristina Metz, whose known for her unique motifs (eyes, tears, flowers) and dainty sheer fabrics - is having a sale on her Anne of Green Gables inspired collection!

I am so in love with Keiko Lynn's darling style and this ASOS dress she shared has been at the top of my wishlist since she shared it!

Sretsis has released their Spring/Summer 2018 collection and it has made all my spring dreams come true - floral, gingham and cherry prints in delicate, feminine fabrics and silhouettes. That said, Sretsis, please expand your line to include plus sizes!

Artist and designer extraordinaire Tuesday Bassen, has released a Valentine's Day inspired collection - I love this detachable collar!

This Chocolate Assortment Balloon Backdrop by Oh Happy Day is one of the cutest things I've ever seen...

Hope you are all having a marvelous weekend! ♡

Nature by Jimmy Marble

The other day I was talking to a friend about the Portland International Rose Garden and realized I never shared these photos here! Last Spring, Jimmy Marble and myself shot this photo series there. Jimmy is actually one of my favorite photographers, his work feels like a technicolor dream come to life - so I was so excited to do this shoot when he was visiting Portland!

This is truly the prettiest garden I've visited, and spending a few hours there shooting pictures amidst such a wide variety of roses and perfectly manicured hedges was such a dreamy way to spend the afternoon! ✿❀❃ This photoseries ended up being published in Zeum Magazine issue 11.
