Pins of the Week Lots and lots have been going on lately!  I am kicking up wedding season again starting this weekend and I am finalizing a lot of details on the new studio.  I am finding myself in a sort of a rut with not easily getting what I want and therefore sticking my head in the sand and not doing anything productive at all! Been there? It's stupid and doesn't serve anyone well!  Time to shake that nonsense off and get with it! I am getting into my black and white mentality which basically means it's a productive, get it done attitude.  No nonsense!

All white, all the time

Beachside picnic sounds like pure heaven! let's get that on the "to do " list asap!

How lovely is this cobble stone and olive branch adorned soiree?

White on white kitchens make me feel calm

Freckles and lashes are my two favorite beauty traits. Natural is always in style

And the Oscar goes to…... I love award show season and sit with my favorite snacks and bubbly devouring the red carpet fashion before each show.  I've decided to throw my own simple little soiree this year with all my fashion and movie crazed friends.  We will sip champagne and nosh on popcorn and soft pretzels in true movie style.

Galentine's Mommy and Me Soiree

There is nothing sweeter than Valentine's day and to kick off the month of love, I decided to throw a girl's only "Galentine's day" soiree to celebrate some of my dearest girlfriends and their little ladies.  While the mommy's adorned handmade Valentine's cards, our littles made friendship bracelets for their friends or their mommy's.  It was perfect occasion to celebrate with our little sweeties. kacee v-day shoot finals 0287kacee v-day shoot finals 0047

This pink couch and simple black and white gallery wall makes for the perfect chic statement.

Oh Olivia, you always get it right!  How gorg does Olivia Palermo look in this frilly, lace frock?

Pink bubble bath seems like it could solve any problem.

I've been really into sleek black lines lately.  There is nothing more chic then simple black.  When I got a hold of these great loose fitting black pants I was in heaven.  I paired them with a leather bomber, cashmere sweater and pop of leopard for drinks with my girlfriends but have also been lounging in them constantly!

"Someone you love"

Home, UncategorizedLorely Meza1 Comment

Dallas Clayton "Stand here and think of someone you love" - Dallas Clayton.

 

So I did.   I thought of my biggest gifts of all time my baby girls. I thought vividly of their perfect little faces and sweet little hands.  I thought of my handsome husband, who at any moments notice sweeps in and protects me from everything scary and can make me laugh until my tummy hurts.  I thought of my parents, who constantly and unconditionally support my every thought and whim.  I thought of my friends who endlessly listen to my gibberish about fashion and makeup until their eyes glaze over.   This could take a long time...

This week I attended my second ALT Summit conference, Dallas Clayton spoke at our last keynote and to be honest I hadn't heard of him. He casually jogs up the stairs with messy, long hair, rainbow sneakers and old sweater with his illustration on it. He begins to ramble on, looking at the floor and pacing around the room about funny and nonsensical topics about his adventures.  Where was he going with all of this? He goes on to say there are " no rules" which seems very fitting considering his casual approach to this whole thing. He says "have an adventure".  Again not surprised by this.  He goes on and that's when it clicks and we all feel it.  He encourages us to get our noses out of our phones and computers and live our lives.  Go get lost.  Go have an adventure.  Have stories to tell.

He finishes his talk with a portion of his still untitled new book.  I was moved to tears.  The man writes the most incredible, moving, hilarious children's books I've ever heard.  He is the modern day Dr. Suess.

I can't get my hands on his books quick enough.  I want my girls to hear what I heard and feel what I feel.  I want us to have stories to tell.  I've decided to give my littles each of his books on Valentine's Day.  I can't think of a better way to "think of someone I love".
