Roguesur!

A little while back I had the pleasure of working with the crew at Seavees to create the Makeup & Hair for their 2014 fall lookbook shot in Big Sur. What a wonderful cast and crew to have had the pleasure working with! The models were beyond gorgeous and kind, while the rest of the crew were so incredibly generous and gracious. And the location.... what a gem! Three days in the trees, doesn't get any better then that! Thank you to the amazing Chris Orwig for capturing the moments! Here are the covers of the cookbooks, but check out the links to see more!

The Simpson House Inn

I don't often get the pleasure of staying at many of the hotels that we've worked at, but this years Valentines day my love treated me to one of the beautiful cottages at The Simpson House Inn in Santa Barbara. What a treat! We stayed in the Plumbstead cottage which was a quaint two story building with a private jacuzzi tub, fireplace and a fantastic breakfast that was brought to us at a predetermined time and set up for us on our porch. If that wasn't enough, they personally greeted us at our car as we parked and offered wine and hors d'oeuvres during the evening in the main building. If it couldn't get any better, they provided of my favorite products in the cottage... Kiehls! They even sent us away with a wonderful gift - some watercolor painted stationary by a local artist. Highly, highly recommend this place! @ Simpsonhouseinn #simpsonhouseinn #santabarbarabedandbreakfast #santabarbarahotels #SantaBarbara #Bedandbreakfast #kiehls #destinationwedding #weddingvenue #dreamcatcherartistry
