Welp, it looks like Fall is really trying it’s damnedest to make an appearance here in SD (effing FINALLY!).
The air is crispy AF, the nights are rainy, the wind is knocking things down left & right, and we even had massive hail the other week
To kick off this change of weather, I hosted a mini Fall happy hour at our new digs this weekend. Full post coming on the event tomorrow, but to sum it up: I kept it very festive w/ themed drinks, cozy vibes, yummy candles, warm bites, etc.
It was so great to show off my new place & spend time with my closest friends/family, but the whole time, my heart was very heavy with what is going on in our world currently.
The lives lost, the families hurting, & the fear people are feeling all over the world is truly heartbreaking. Majority of the focus on social media is geared at the tragic events that took place in Paris, but we really need direct our prayers to the world as whole. On that same day that so many lives were stolen in Paris, Beirut & Baghdad were also struck with horrific tragedy as well. It is unnecessary violence & my heart goes out to all the families who have lost a loved one due to these acts of terrorism.
I pray for the families, I pray for the world, & I count my blessings every night before I go to bed. I hope you all do the same & I hope that our world can find peace so that we no longer have to live in fear every day.
Now, not to divert from tragedy, but here are a few of my weekend highlights that may add a little cheer to your day (especially the video at the end). x, E
» new drink of choice: Grapefruit Sculpin, seriously, it’s the yummiest beer! «
» I don’t celebrate Christmas, but I am thrilled Zack does, cause I can’t wait to direct our tree with all these adorable ornaments from Pigment! The fuzzy foxes & hot pink llamas are just too cute to handle. «
» Zack works/lives/breathes the world of skateboarding, so we though it’d be fun to get some custom black & white skateboards to put above the couch. I love it!!! «
» left to right: vampy glam for an exciting photoshoot I did this past week (coming out in March, stay tuned!) | the raddest doormat, a sweet housewarming gift from a good friend | Fall flowers & burnt orange boots to match | cruising on a Sunday (before the rain came down hard!) «
» can’t stop LOLing at the above video from my Snapchat (un: fashionlush). I was trying to be all cute, showing how my BF opens the door for me every time we get to the car, & then…… «
