Special Lembas (design by Lana Rose) Preview.

Today I have a great look for you! A little preview of our Lembas, design by Lana Rose, line that is coming soon! Currently I am taking special order and couture inquiries and orders. From one of our orders birthed this great dress: the Sarai shift dress.

This dress has all you want of a great shift: it's flattering, fitted yet loose, and keeps a great shape. It has a great wide neck, 3/4 length sleeves with zipper detail (my favourite part) and that perfect "mini" length. However, we also offer customisations.

Enjoy!

Another Rainy Day.

Surprise, surprise, we had another rainy day in Seattle. Luckily, it was rather light with no need for "true" raincoats.

We have been wanting to try out Manhattan for lunch (we tried their dinner) in Capitol Hill, and it was wonderful! We highly recommend their burgers and steak. We got the hummingbird cocktail for two, which was delightfully refreshing.

Afterwards, we went around to some costume and thrift shops before going to a whisk(e)y tasting.

TwiceLux Vintage Lookbook part 1

Here's a preview from the spring lookbook for TwiceLux vintage boutique! Roxy finds such an amazing collection of vintage pieces. All in all, we did a total of three looks. Heres the first :)

I am really enjoying black & white photos... whether they're meant to be, or the wardrobe and background simply allow it. Here's some shots from a couple of photo shoots I had the privilege being in.

from the photo shoot with Jessika Levine.

from our engagement shoot.

from a trip to the zoo... which always leads to great pictures.

from my birthday party.

This first shoot was with Elizabeth Rudge (see her work here!).

the end of a chapter.

I finally am done with my collegiate undergrad studies in psychology! So long to the midterms, finals, examinations, and 10-, 20-, 30- page papers! Farewell to the all nighters consisting of procrastination, break-throughs, epiphanies, online-shopping breaks, and midnight ramen cravings before due dates... I know they were tough... but I'll miss being in school. I've been taking college preparatory classes since the seventh grade, as well as college courses during my high school years. Sometimes I feel like all I know how to do is to be in school! Alas, on to the "real world"... but not without a little celebrating!

My family threw such a wonderful graduation party for me and my two cousins that are now high school grads! Thank you all so much! It was such an amazing experience and I'm so glad that you were able to share it with me :)
