My 100th Post....& Sneak Peek of a Photo Shoot

Celebration dance!  It's my 100th post and I've got all sorts of jazz hand-action going on.  I packaged up 5 customer orders tonight after a short and sweet photo shoot. (For an upcoming project I'm really excited about..promising more details soon)

Not only was I lucky enough to snag two beautiful ladies to model Rasbarri this evening, but my wonderful, sweet boyfriend took some behind the scenes photos so I could share them on my blog. I also got to catch up with someone tonight who's touched my life with great memories and friendship, pretty D.

Thank you Winston, Gaby and Dianna <3 Wouldn't have been made possible without you guys.

I believe Gaby was heavily swatting wild mosquitos in this last shot ;o)

Happy Thursday.  Closing out the day with my favorite restaurant with my most favorite man. Millennium.

What a fantastic week.

Double Heart Winner...and this week.

Congratulations to Cynthia of the blog "My Travel Diary!" for winning the Rasbarri double heart necklace ;) I'll be contacting you soon!  This week is jam packed. 

 My little maltese, Maxwell is visiting from Tahoe.  Spending lots of cuddle time together, as demonstrated below.  

I'm also very excited about an upcoming photo shoot for a really awesome start-up called Zaarly.  This Wednesday evening will be full of dress up, snapshots and girly fun.  I'll give more details and a few behind the scenes shots soon.

I worked on a few new Rasbarri creations last night.  I'll take some pretty shots tonight.    Oh, and also obsessed with this look.  I'm thinking about this for the photoshoot.  Love!

Wednesday Obsession.

Its Wednesday..and I just caught myself saying I have a case of the Mondays!  I'm looking forward to the weekend.  I see warmth in my near future ;)  

Also, my bestie is having a baby, her first one.  I couldn't be more excited. Her shower is coming up and I found this dress on ShopRuche.com last night. I bought the LAST one this morning.  

Completely and utterly obsessed. 

I'm thinking wedges...

Navy? Camel-colored? Strappy sandals? What's a girl to do?

A few looks I'm loving.

The fun part of fashion is finding looks you love, finding inspiration anywhere....and emulating it.  When I find certain photos online that I like, I save them to iPhoto and organize them.  These are a few from my collection.  They're fun to revisit when you have what I call, style block ;)

Obsessed with shorter, striped skirt and white tee.

A favorite blogger of mine, Sincerely Jules.  Two words: THOSE shoes.

I've always loved Ashley Olsen's style. 

Also. Yesterday. Let's talk about it.  I posted an infinity open ring on my Facebook and all you fine people had such lovely comments.  I decided to list it in the store.  SO, here it is, in all its glory!

New Tiny Necklaces in Shop!

Well hello there.   I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend.  Of course its sunny and warm here in San Francisco when I'm trying to fight off a cold.  I'm prepared like a samurai - Echinacea, Emergen-C, Kombucha...I've got it all teed up. 

In other exciting news, the Rasbarri shop has a few new items including two new tiny necklaces and a pair of earrings!  I spent Saturday creating, taking photos and goofing off (as demonstrated below).   I hope you love the new pieces as much as I do.  I've been rocking them for a few weeks now.

Hamsa Hand Necklace: Only one available here for $36!

Tiny double heart Necklace: Available here for $34!

Vests...because I'm not ready for Fall.

I was flipping through a Lucky Magazine last night.  The fashion world is already ready for Fall and I want to cry.  Are we done with summer already?  I'm loving vests right now...versatile for both summer and fall.  Let's start here.  They're back..and not in that cheesy tiny vest with a t-shirt way, like we saw 5 years ago.  Here are a few I'm lusting over right now. The Utility Vest. Yes.

Similar ones here at J.Crew for only $58

Nutella Hot Chocolate for Breakfast

Because I said so.  

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and decided this had to be consumed the next morning for breakfast.  Is it just me or is Nutella the new peanut butter? ;)

Ingredients

• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 1/2-2 tablespoons Nutella

Instructions

1. Heat almond milk to steaming. I used the microwave at work.
2. When steaming hot, pour into a mug. Stir in Nutella until it dissolves.
3. Done. Drink and nom!

Rasbarri lovin...

It's Thursday and I'm super excited about seeing a concert this evening with my beau in Saratoga, CA.  We recently took a trip to beautiful British Columbia and Rasbarri is rocking and keeping me more busy than ever... along with my day job!  

Sharing some photos of some recent Rasbarri lovin' and a snapshot of life,  lately.  Enjoy!
