b r i l LIA n t

hello loves!

so... it's been about.. well... exactly a year since my last post..

so seriously lame of me. 

i did however create an instagram for my blog that i have been updating!

follow: ohfauxshow on instagram!

my favorite bag company found my instagram and asked me if i wanted to do a collaboration with them..

when cut n' paste approached me to be their in house blogger i was so excited, beyond thrilled and incredibly flattered.

this brand is amazing. 

as mentioned in their "about" section on their website cut n' paste bags is a los angeles-based company specializing in beautiful, colorful, vintage inspired handbags and accessories. 

they believe you shouldn't have to pay premium prices for great quality bags that will last a lifetime.

once you own a cut n' paste bag... no other bag will do.

my first cut n' paste bag was the lia bag 

in the b r i l LIA n t evergreen color.

i feel like i cannot adequately describe in words how much i love this bag.. but here goes...

quality - superb

color - incredibly vibrant

texture of the leather - like butter

style - vintage & totally hip

in just a few weeks my cut n' paste evergreen lia will be available for purchase exclusively at free people

if you're anything like me and can't wait a few more weeks for the evergreen lia...

it is available right now in four gorgeous earth tone colors here!

i look forward to our future cut n' paste! 

stayed tuned for my fourth of july weekend vegas vacation with my new cut n' paste bags ;)

a diy hawaii wedding

my bestest friend 

(aka my gorgeous mommy) 

just got married!

the wedding was two weeks ago at 

the grand wailea resort in maui, hawaii.

thank you so much to everyone at jen's pirate booty 

the dresses were PERFECT and quite a hit!

 

the beautiful bride is wearing the goddess dress in gauze

i am wearing the nena tunic in fire

and my new sister is wearing the poncho villa tunic in peaches

jen's pirate booty is a malibu based company

effortless pieces that can be dressed up or down

they worked perfectly for our beachy wedding 

the wedding was intimate and so beautiful

planning this wedding was so much fun

you don't always need to go into debt to have the wedding that you hope for...

my mom and i made the flower bouquets

i took all of our photos

& no shoes were necessary ;)

besides the priest, it was only our family which made it that much more special.

obsessed

brandy melville

90's vibe.

a cult favorite.

loose fitting tops, amazing skirts, dresses and vintage shorts.

most of brandy melville is one size fits all 

which reduces the brand's production time, cost, and saves hundreds of hours of energy per month.

genius. 

 it's a line that every girl should check out.

i personally cannot get enough.

it is completely affordable for any budget and SO cute.

not to mention their look book for this season is adorable.

this + wildfox and some jeffrey campbells or chucks...

= all i need.

shop brandy melville here!!!

so foxy

So... the new wildfox white label collection is pretty great.

I need all of these pieces.

and yes. they are needs... not "wants".

 

lets talk swim.....

so in love.

not to mention... their stylist and creative director for this shoot did an AMAZING job.

i love everything they did.

Honestly, their photo shoots are ALWAYS so killer.

It is exactly in line with what I love as a photographer and the styling is so on point. 

LOVE.
