Ashley's guess girl inspired photo shoot in Hawaii

My sister Dolly is very well connected on the North Shore of Ohau, so after a few phone calls with a very talented makeup artist Jennifer Jones and photographer Mark Lee, we collectively came up with this...

A mix of old retro with a modern day twist.

Mark has to leave at this point so we decided to just go for more on our own. Here's what we came up with and I have to say so myself. "Not too Shabby"

Ashley's currently in the running for a Hapari swimsuit contest. I entered her in it without her knowing, but she does know now. Keep your fingers crossed for her. If she wins she'll get $2,500 in cash and be flown out to Florida for a photo shoot.

GO ASHLEY!  

Ashley's wedding photoshoot on the beach

Ashley is my oldest daughter. She's 5'9 1/2. I think she definitely has a career in the fashion industry. At this point she's still waiting to be discovered by the right people, but until then here's some work she did in Hawaii last January.

 For the Pamela Anderson type's that might want to get married in a swimsuit. It's a Ralph Lauren and it's lovely.

This shot was taken on location at Scared Falls on the North Shore of Ohaua. To bad we didn't have time to hike all the way up to the waterfalls.

 Now these pictures were taken just across the way from my sister Dolly's wedding cottage location.

She's stunning and seems to be a natural in front of the camera.

This picture ended up being really cool but I'm not allowed to use the best one with the fisherman because it's been submitted to a wedding magazine.  But after it's public, I'll post it here as well.

Lily Aldridge hair still going strong

 So if you've been following my blog, you know that I've been a little on the obsessed side with having Lily Aldridge hair.

I tried again and again at the beginning of the year, (about 4 times) before I got it right in April. I haven't touched it since and it still looks great 5 months later.

We just had family pictures taken, so I'm using them to show how the Lily look is still working for me.

From left to right top row, Jordan, Ashlee, Corby, me, Ashley, Kyle, Alyssa, bottom row, Peyton, Micah, Joseph.

Me and all my very favorite people! I love you family, and even though you can't see him, I love you CJ! He's our oldest and lives in another world now, but is in our hearts always! We miss him, we miss him, we miss him!

If you want more information on how to get the look go to this link for some good do it yourself info.

or here if your not that brave. Like me :)

I also suggest you take your favorite Lily Aldridge picture in to your hairstylist. Here is one of my all time favorites.

 At this point if your hairstylist hasn't heard of ombre or balayage highlights, then it's time to get a new stylist.

Good luck!

Freaking Funny :)

Ok, this post is definitely a departure for me and my normal fashion or home interior design topics but today these images have tickled my funny bone. Actually, I can't stop laughing. Even as I write I'm laughing!

So I thought I would pay it forward and share them with the world. My hope is that you get as much pleasure out of them as I have. If not, sorry :( but for me they've served their purpose very well.

If you do enjoy them as much as I have, send this link to anyone you think might need to have a gut wrenching good laugh!

I think it's genius!

What were they (we) thinking?

Bahahahahahaha! How is he soooo funny?



One of my all time favorite comedy sketches!

All kinds of wrong! Those poor boys. Their poor mom. Their probably still giving her crap about it. And they should!!!

I don't know whether to laugh or just be in awe for this picture. But I'd like to give her a high five and a life time achievement award!



Not your typical bedtime story.

Sorry, but it did make me laugh!

Have a great day! :)
