Alternative post title: A Van (not) Down by The River.

My fave time of year is when the trees go all high fashion and turn into cotton-candy-like puffballs of pink blossomy goodness. In other words, SPRINGTIME! How gorge is the Gorge when it’s in full bloom? TOTES GORGE. (I’m full of it today. Consider yourself warned.)

Anyway, the pink blossom season marks that time of year when the foreign glowing orb in the sky generously casts it’s warmth upon us and we pale Pacific Northwesterners are reminded that there is a season called Summer and it is slowly making it’s return. Except the day we took these pictures, the glowing sky-orb (it’s called the sun, in case you forgot) was a mean trickster and it was actually fracking cold out. No surprise there, right? #helloPNWweather

And thanks, to the random people whose front yard I borrowed. I happen to love this particular 9th street corner. “They have twees, Norman! Twees!” (that one was for my mom. I don’t expect you to get the joke. Unless of course, you were raised on wholesome and heartwarming films such as this.)

And then we found a van.

We loved the van. #HowToPoseLikeAWeirdo101

Thanks for the good times, van.

HEY CUPCAKE!

What’s up, chicklets! Here’s what I’ve been up to this past week or two (k, me and a crew of super helpful/talented/awesome friends):

The above are all from my mid-term project. The assignment was to coordinate and style a photoshoot (actually, two shoots, but more on that later) based around a plain white tee. Easy enough, right? riiiiiight…..Tons of work but totes worth it ’cause I got an A! Killing it, to the 2nd power!

I decided on the pastel color story since I’m love, love, loving all the Easter-egg pastels for Spring and because it is a major, MAAAAJOR (say it in a Rachel Zoe voice) trend right now AND the Man Repeller says pastels are the tits and pretty much, whatever she says is the final word. ‘Cause, you know, she’s like the fashion ruler of the world (in my book at least). So there ya have it, a cotton-candy colored editorial!

*In addition to the Easter Bunny and Peeps, I’d like to think unicorns had a hand in inspiring this shoot. In fact, they definitely were inspiration—–>Click here to visit Candy Mountain!

**Thanks to Sierra for being a lovely model and to Kalyn for the killer hair+makeup job AND photography (one-woman wonder). Y’all rock! Oh and thank you Becca for the use of your cake plates and kitchen chair! ;)

***K, one more thank you: To Z, for being the most understanding and patient 4 year old and putting up with Momma playing fashion dictator all day. Thanks for expertly stacking the cotton candy and eating most of it and then falling soundly asleep on the floor. <—–used unicorn plushie as pillow. #genuis
