Friendsgiving

cyeh November 19, 2015

Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is next week! Danielle, Ashlyn and I decided to host Friendsgiving lunch/dinner (lunner?) last weekend, before we all head our separate ways. We all were in charge of different dishes, but since Feng and I hosted it at our loft, we decided to tackle the Turkey for the first time ever. Yikes. On top of that, I had sprained my ankle the night before, so cooking, cleaning and getting ready was not easy! I must say, we managed to pull it off, and the turkey turned out pretty good, but my girlfriends are way better cooks than I am! They brought some bomb-a** mac and cheese, candied yams, cheesy mashed potato, stuffing, and pumpkin cheesecake. Mm mmm! No one wanted to take leftovers, so we've been eating Thanksgiving breakfast, lunch and dinner for the past 4 days. haha..

Thanks to Urban Outfitters, who provided us with some amazing products to use for our Friendsgiving! It really made our dinner next level with the cocktail kit, the record player and cute outfits. The girls attempted to make cocktails (which failed horribly), and the boys sat around watching sports and listening to Michael Jackson on the record player. Our special guest was Baxter (Danielle's dog) who pretty much stole the show. Thank you to my friends who bared with me while we cooked food, prepped the table and had a photo shoot at the same time. I would say we had a very successful first Friendsgiving in LA!

Fall Sweater

cyeh October 29, 2015

It's not cold enough here in LA to wear a knit turtleneck sweater and socks with booties, but I just got too excited about the cold weather and all these amazing clothes! We teamed up with Urban Outfitters to bring some fun Fall/Winter looks. Here's one of my favorites - knit sweaters with a big turtle neck (it's on sale right now, check below!). I can't stress how soft and cozy this top is and I love this shade of grey. It also really brings out the camel color of the boots. After taking these photos at home, I really wanted to go to work in this outfit, but it was seriously 85 degrees outside... mmm nope! Feng and I are traveling north in a few weeks, hopefully it'll be cold enough to rock some of these outfits!

*to my OCD friends, the boots are clean (straight from the box), and no coffee was spilled on the bed during this shoot :)

A Visit to Sunken City

cyeh June 9, 2015

Feng and I decided to head down to San Pedro to visit the Sunken City. Not sure if you heard about it, but basically in 2011, a huge rainstorm caused an 800 feet section of the coastal road to collapse into the Pacific Ocean. You can read and see more photos here. It's now turned into this abandoned hiking trail with graffiti on the leftover concrete. My photos don't really do it justice, but if you ever get the chance to visit, it's pretty amazing. Watch the video above to see where the secret entrance is!

Spring Jeans

cyeh March 24, 2015

I've been looking for a pair of light colored jeans for awhile and these ones from Wellbinder are perfect for Spring! I love the acid wash and the cut of the jeans - gives it a lot of texture and style. I've worn them out several times and my favorite look is still a white tee with the jeans rolled up and a cute pair of heels. I wanted to keep this look simple, adding my favorite leather jacket, a bucket bag and my new mug from ban.do. And this wall is just perfect to kick off Spring! Yay to colorful polka dots!

Black and White

cyeh August 19, 2014

Love this jacket from Nasty Gal and I can't wait to wear it out! I love that the sleeves are sheer, which is perfect for the breezy nights here in LA. The front has just the right amount of shimmer. Not too flashy, not too fancy. Gives it the right amount of feminine touch in photos :)

I had a lot of fun at this photo shoot. Turned out to be one of the more productive ones, and ended up getting a lot more content than anticipated! I absolutely loved working with this group of creatives! It was the first time we all directly worked with each other and we turned out to be a great team! The photographer, hair and makeup artist, stylist were all on point! Check out their websites below! They're amazing, talented and hardworking artists to work with just in case you are looking to hire. :)

I bet you can't guess how many pins are in my hair!
