October is for visiting Utah and these crazy chicas. And Billie too. I plan on eating a lot of Cafe Rio and cuddling lots of babies and maybe apartment hunting?? It’s no fun living far away from so many of my favorite people.
I’ll visit more people but these three are about to (or have just had) babies so I’ve got dibs on them.
Naomi tweeted a great quote: “It doesn’t matter where you are, it matters who you’re with.” I’ll keep that in mind.
The saddest day is the day that you get released from Primary. I have no doubt it’s the right thing but it didn’t stop me from instantly bursting into full on tears the second I was told. I have the most wonderful, smart, funny, loving 5 year olds in my class. I can’t help but be a little heartbroken.

I ended up with a four day weekend this weekend. This is the best news ever. On Tuesday I’m meeting Krista at Hearst Castle and spending the day with her. I’m so excited.
I took this during a break in shooting The Monstrosity Movie this week. I have a weakness for magnolia blossoms.
Don’t you love carousels?
The filming for The Monstrosity Movie finished up this week. It was a blast.
ps – 8 more followers till I do a little giveaway for all of you pretty people.
Have a wonderful weekend! xo
Some pretty graffiti on Rue des Rosiers in Paris.
I’m starting the August Break… 5 days later… whoops.

Before I hiking up the bazillion stairs I watched this guy feed some hungry birdies. He didn’t just throw food for them, he’d call to them and they’d land on his hand to take the tiny pieces of bread. It was pretty awesome but my fingers weren’t fast enough to catch him in action.
Just a note on my last post about France – I forgot to mention how AWESOME Trisha was for the whole 10 hours we were driving around France. I probably would have had a tantrum or burst into tears or something if she hadn’t been with me. She’s a superstar!
How adorable is Jessica?? Since right now my job is a soul-sucker I think I’m going to do Jessica’s dance/chat every morning. Poor Harlow will think I’ve completely lost it.
And if that doesn’t work…
Haha! This picture made me laugh out loud.
Have a beautiful weekend. I have some exciting stuff going on this weekend so I’ll see you guys Monday! xo
ps, I hope no one is offended by that second pic… it’s just been one of those days!

Here are some pictures I took with my iPhone (using the Shake It Photo app.)
A trip to France requires new shoes- from Urban Outfitters and the leather pair is from Aldo.
I took this picture while waiting (frantically at the airport because I forgot my camera battery at work. My ONLY camera battery.) Someone was able to drop it off in the nick of time so the crisis was narrowly averted. Who forgets their camera battery when they’re going to a photography retreat? Me, that’s who.
On my way!
So… if you’re ever driving from Paris to Beynac-et-Cazenac make sure you don’t type just “Beynac” into Google Maps. Because the 5 hour drive will turn into a 10 hr drive (after a day of work and an 11 hr flight) and your contacts will make your eyes feel like they are bleeding. But you will get to drive by pretty little places like this. So you know, it’s not a complete loss.
And pretty streets like this.
When we finally got to Beynac-et-Cazenac it was amazing and beauitful. There were flower boxes everywhere!
Back in Paris, I stayed at Mama Shelter which was really, really cool. I even got to share a room with Chewbaca. He was chill.
The Paris Metro. Not the sweetest smelling place in July! But sort of pretty as far as subways go.
We ate so many delicious crepes in France but the very best was Creperie des Canettes. Nicole recommended them and they were oh so delicious!
Made it to the Eiffel Tower! Waiting for the sun to set to see it sparkle.
… and she did not disappoint!
No pictures from the trip home. There was nothing exciting about leaving France. EXCEPT seeing little Harlow!

I don’t think I’m meeting my quota.

… is totally acceptable as long as you’re wearing your finest jewels.
These photos by Terry Richardson have been favorites of mine for a long time. Cupcakes and diamonds are a pretty unbeatable combination.
