Hi Friends!

Christmas is right around the corner and I thought I'd blog about what I've been dreaming about this Christmas season. Honestly I usually have NO IDEA what I want, but this year I've actually tried to put some thought into it and keep a list of things I think of throughout this fall. Here is my wish list. What's on yours?

I Love Sewing and making crafts so much! I often wish I had a sewing machine so I could make clothes for myself! Now this one is a bit outdated but it's still a cute photo. :)



I don't think I've ever owned a housecoat but it seems like such a nice thing to have, especially with the chilly weather right now! If I ever want to check the mail, or walk my boyfriend out to his car to say goodnight, this would be perfect to throw on before heading out into the chilly air. Plus the light mint color is nice!



Antique looking heeled boots have been on a wish list of mine for quite some time. I can't decide if I like brown or black better. I like the delicate lace on these brown ones.



These black Victorian-esq booties are cute and stylish but study at the same with the big solid heels.



Another addition to my wish list this year are gloves. I've been wanting a nice pair of gloves for years now, but for some reason I never buy them for myself! I like the soft dusty rose color and the black stitching.



I thought these "texting" gloves looked pretty cozy! I like the button details as well.



I love that these look velvet like and they're blue! The white piping border and buttons make it really unique.



Now who could resist these baby blue gloves with the fake watch stitched onto the wrists?!



I have always been such a huge fan of scarfs and look forward to fall every year just so I can wear mine! I've always been so cautious in my scarf choices however and feel the need to branch out into pretty patterns and more bold colors. (My current scarf collection consists of a black scarf, a white scarf and a plain cotton grey one)



Ok so this scarf isn't colorful, but it's got a beautiful pattern!



I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ruffly scarf! Plus this golden brown is beautiful.



I know this is grey, but it definitely has much more character and texture than my current grey scarf.



Another thing I've always been a fan of are hats! I don't really have many winter type hats though. Just one that a dear friend gave me for Christmas one year. (and I absolutely love it) I've always wanted one of these hats that cover up my ears. Sometimes they seem a little over the top, but I like how low key this one is.



I am a sucker for cloches! I like how the ribbon is tied on this hat. It's simple and elegant. Just my style. (or what I wish my style was haha)



Well that's it! That's my wish list! What's your wish list this Christmas season?

Auburn, CA Wedding { Bill & Alice }

As you remember a few posts ago I had giving you a few "teasers" from the wedding of Bill & Alice that I photographed in Auburn, CA. Here are my favorite picks from that day. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

These salt and pepper shakers reminded me of skyscrapers.



I love shots of hairspray!



Alice was being silly, what an adorable woman.



I loved the buttons going all the way down the back of her dress!



Plus the folds in the bottom of the dress were so much fun to photograph.



Putting on the dress







Her simple but lovely bouquet



The MOH, the groom's daughter



The Best man, the bride's son!



It was so funny, they both had such problems putting their rings on each other!







Bill finally had to finish putting his ring on.



The Kiss!



Details of the Maid of Honor and Best Man





Portraits of Bill and Alice





I LOVED this wall! The light, the color. These two were just so much fun.





I just love the way her veil looks in this one!





I couldn't resist snapping a shot of everyone grabbing shots of the Bride & Groom!



Dinner time!



Time to cut the cake. Thank goodness for umbrella's to bounce flash off of, it was pitch black at this point!



Let the PARTY begin!







The lovely bartenders! What a cute couple.



And last but not least, the bride and groom with their rings & bracelet & watch.

Halloween Fest-Evil!

Hi Friends!

I think Halloween has to be one of my all time favorite holidays. I simply LOVE dressing up! There is just something fantastic about getting to dress up as someone else or pretending to be from another era. Last year my boyfriend and I were Zeus and Athena. I got the le sac dress from American Apparel and he wore bedsheets, gave himself a beard extensions and painted a wicked sweet six-pac on himself! Here are some images from our costumes last year.





This year we decided to host our own Halloween Fest-Evil! This year we were Little Bo Peep and my counterpart was my sheep! For this party we tried to incorporate as much halloween-like things as we could to make it fun for our guests. My boyfriend bought a fog machine and I got a blacklight, blacklight candles and a trippy poster for the dance room and together we created a photo-op area that our friend Andrew thought up. Here are some images of our costumes, the decorations and our photo-op area. Enjoy!

Birthday BBQ

So a few months ago in September my dear sister had a BBQ birthday gathering for her family. She has to be one of the most adorable little housewives I've ever known. Dressed in her pretty little plum coloured dress she BBQ'd us all some amazing Jamaican Jerk Chicken while we listened to some Bob Marley. To top the day off her husband made from scratch a chocolate layered cake with a raspberry glaze on top! It was the perfect balance between the raw cocoa and the sweetness of the fruit. Well enough chatter, here are the images! Enjoy!

Lilly Flowers

My beau is the best at making me feel wonderful! A few weeks ago he bought me some beautiful lilies "just because" and I couldn't resist photographing them. I normally dry flowers that are given to me and hang them in my room, but unfortunately lilies don't dry/hang well. So these images will have to do to remember them. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Much Love and Happiness, Tiana Hollomon
