Roxy’s Derby-licious Photo Shoot

Remember my 2-year anniversary pretty nifty photoshoot giveaway? Well, Roxy was one of the two winners and we were finally able to coordinate a session a couple of weeks ago. She is just the cutest little thing with tons of spunk and sass (two of my favorite qualities). She wanted a mixture of pin up and roller derby, as she is fresh meat on her Houston league back home. The ideas sounded great to us – my hubs had never shot anything in these styles so he was more than psyched to give it a go. I have to say that we had the best time with Ms. GrrFeisty – she even inspired me to give derby a go (I’m looking at you, Vice City Rollers)!

Squeeworthy: *Blank Photos

I have a lot of creative and wonderful people in my life. One of them happens to be my good friend, Penn, of *Blank Photos. She is a South Florida photographer that mainly focuses on infants, children and families, but also shoots events and portraits. I asked her if she would be willing to shoot me for my blog redesign (coming soon!), and thankfully she agreed! I had a great time shooting both at a park across the street from my home, and at Green Street‘s back room in Coconut Grove.

In case you are interested, my makeup was done by the fabulous Llynette Shirazi, my outfits courtesy of Lazy Oaf and nail polish(s) were Essie’s Mint Candy Apple and Pansy.

Weekend Highlights

Like I expressed last week, I could hardly contain myself with excitement for the release of Scott Pilgrim. The hubs and I planned a date night on Friday consisting of dinner at Yellow Submarine (the best food truck in South Florida) and dessert at Sweetness Bake Shop. I had featured Sweetness on this past Lovable Friday, so I thought it would be appropriate to pay it my first visit! My full review is on Yelp, but to make a long story short & sweet (appropriate), it was lovely. My favorite were the Guayabera cupcakes, which were pure heaven. In fact, I would go back just to eat those. Over and over again. However, the bakery is full of all sorts of goodies, including daily rotating cupcake flavors, which leaves me with quite a few new treats to try for a long time to come! And if that sounds like a challenge…it is! Better up my cardio! 😉

Infatuation Photos

I’ve probably driven you all mad by now going on and on about how talented all my friends are, but I can’t help it! I am lucky enough to be surrounded by immensely creative people and any exposure I can give them brings me great joy. Cue Infatuation Photos.

My friend, Dave, is a pretty fabulous photographer in the Southern California area. Although my favorite subject of his is his girlfriend, Angela (she happens to be one of my most favorite people in the world & one of my dearest friends), he takes pretty amazing pictures of other things such as animals, landscapes, nature and vintage items.

Lucky for you he is starting to offer his prints to the public! These photos would make a great addition to any space, room or office so head over to his store and browse through the available images – you may find one that speaks to you!

Also, you can follow Dave (he is a pretty cool guy) at the following:

1. Eat Drink Chic

As you all know, I check a series of blogs on a regular basis to gather inspiration and keep up to date with what’s hot and what’s not. Unfortunately, This week it has been a little tough for me to keep up with my long list of favorite blogs, but I was lucky enough to stumble on one new favorite: Eat Drink Chic! The creator of this blog, Amy, is a graphic designer from Australia that states that the blog is “an exploration of style,” allowing her to experiment with wearing different hats. Not only are her posts beautiful, enjoyable and fun, but I definitely find her feelings towards her blog mirror my own towards Melificent. I can only hope my blog can be as wonderful as hers in the near future!
