weekend snapshots: sunshine + flowers + photos

What a wonderful Seattle sunny weekend! It got off to great start Friday night when Miles surprised me with flowers. Ranunculus are one of my favorites! I tend to get stressed out and overwhelmed easily ("No, Whitney, not you. You are so calm, cool and collected." -said all of you, my friends) so it was especially sweet of Miles to cheer me up when I was feeling a bit stressed that night. I'm sure you all heard, since it was basically worldwide headlining news...but it was hot and sunny in Seattle this weekend! By hot I mean mid to high 70's which is not really 'hot' by this Central Californian's standards, but gorgeous weather none the less. If it's the sunny in Seattle, yo' ass is outside. This particular idea was lost on my two little brothers, Ryne and Riley (R&R for short). They much prefer playing Wii than running around outside, so a little bit of force was necessary to get them outside when I babysat them on Saturday. The rest of my Saturday was spent hanging out with Miles in the U-District, downtown alleys and a parking lot on capitol hill while he took photos with his Holgaroid pinhole camera. He is quite talented, I must brag say. While we were in Pioneer square, I snapped a few photos myself of Smith Tower, an old fire escape and the photographer himself in action. Sunday was of course Cinco De Mayo which I don't normally celebrate but got to spend with two of my wonderful friends, Anna and Ronald, drinking mimosas and taking super rad photos! They are helping me with an upcoming project--more on that to come! All in all, a wonderful spring weekend in Seattle. Here's hoping this weather lasts! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, too! xoxo, whit

style inspired by: rare 1967 photos of twiggy

This week I came across these amazing, rare vintage photos of Twiggy from a trip she took to California in 1967. By this time she was already the face of 1960's fashion. Most photos seen of her from this time are from photo shoots or magazine covers like Vogue, Seventeen and even Newsweek. So, it's refreshing to see these candid shots of the model that let her personal style and adorable personality shine. I chose my three favorites below but be sure to check out more swingin' photos from her trip, here

These photos inspired me to put a look together based on her effortless style. I am normally not a fan of wide leg culotte-style pants but was surprised by how many totally wearable styles there are out there. The pair I found below from Asos are super cute and reasonably priced! Plus they are perfect for Spring! What do you think of my take on Twiggy's casual, chic 60's style? I mean, I would wear it all...obvs. ;)

a dog photo shoot with breanna carin!


A few weeks ago I took a trip to the Bay Area to visit with my wonderful friends Breanna and Jamie. I have known both of them for years and they are both so fun and incredibly talented. Case in point, Breanna of Breanna Carin Photography flew up to Berkley to take these adorable photos of Jamie's dog, Roxy! We've known the lovely Roxy since 7th grade and I assure you, she has always been this cute. Breanna did a great job capturing her essence, no?

1. Jamie and Chris, our super cute hosts 2.Breanna snapping a photo of Roxy 3. Jamie getting Roxy's attention with treats 4. Look at that face!

While assisting with the dog photoshoot (true story) I snapped a few photos of my own with my iPhone. Roxy was such a good model! The fact that we were feeding her doggie treats all day probably helped. The photos turned out great. Breanna is so damn talented with that camera, it kills me! See for yourself, check out her photo blog here!
