For an evening Summer look, the smokey eye is always a great go-to! If you have lighter eyes, it will really make them pop; if you have darker eyes, it will create a more sultry look.

Brittany is the real pro when it comes to applying makeup and she is always teaching me new tricks. Because I don't love wearing a lot of heavy eye makeup, she puts taught me some tricks to make my eyes pop without going overboard.

While shooting for the blog a few weekends ago, Chels and I knew we needed to grab some snacks to take with us outdoors because we get real cranky without anything to eat for too long. Chelsea had this great idea to throw some berries in a few glasses to bring with us so we could put them on the ground and know bugs weren't going to get to them.
Much like yesterday's post, I am obsessed with 90's alternative music and culture for that matter. I loved Empire Records, Angus, and of course Smashing Pumpkins. In the 90's I wore nothing but band tee's and painted each of my nails a different color. I had a huge boombox that would have Siamese Dream on loop, all day every day.
Back when Chelsea and I channeled some of our favorite icons (Gwen Stefani and Audrey Hepburn), we thought to ourselves that we should also do a post on different eras. It just so turns out that we both really only experienced the 90's when we weren't infants, so obviously it's our favorite. It has become so funny now that after I picked out my wardrobe pieces for the shoot, they are the pieces I tend to wear ALL the time.
With this beautiful coming weather, also comes some beautiful full blooms. My landlord has a fantastic green thumb and the backyard is always looking full of life and color. The gardens looked so beautiful the other day, I took some time to go out there and shoot some photos of all the beautiful flowers she has planted. It doesn't hurt to have such beautiful views right out your window first thing in the morning :)
Of course while shooting the last two posts, we had many bloopers. Especially because the photos we wanted to get took some serious sand rolling. Some shots included laying on our backs in order to produce the pure sky and swing photos. At the end, we also both hopped on a swing at the same time while I attempted to take photos of us both.
