Playing Catch Up

After a few weeks of being busy with cool events, RLT, school, work  :) I finally bought myself a new memory card reader for my camera. I have no clue where the old one went. Is it under my pile of homework?

Later this week I will be blogging up a storm with all of the cool places I went to and had a shoot out with my camera!

In the meantime check out...

LAST CHANCE

Delilah Snell, owner of Road Less Traveled Store will be teaching one more Holiday Gifts In A Jar workshop on December 4th. This class has a limited amount of students so sign up soon!

I might be the only person I know that absolutely loves Christmas music! I have been listening to it for a week now. Crazy- I know! 

I have discovered the Electronic Holidays Radio station on Pandora and cant get enough. Check it.

My middle name is Elaine but it should be changed to Espresso because I hearts it so much :) I'm constantly on the look out for independent coffee shops that offer a great ambiance as well as my addiction "espresso drinks"!

 I had heard of this cafe "Milk+Honey" before and I ventured in the other day. Loved loved loved the look of their shop and the taste of their earthy Pumpkin Spiced Latte. I will drive out of my way for a "coffee experience" and I reccomend you do the same.

Winter Woods-Holiday Window Display

Im very proud to present to you 

The Road Less Traveled Store's 

Holiday 2011 window display! 

Thank you to interns Amy & ELiosa for helping me put together an awesome window display! 

Theme: A glimpse into a snow filled winter woods

Inspiration: Outdoors, cool calming colors, winter, holiday's, magical.

Time line: A weeks worth of gathering materials and one day set-up. 

Materials: Branches,paint,pipe cleaners, cardboard, wooden snow flakes, paper lanterns, lights, prop's from home and the shop. 

We began to gather all of our materials and props to start the transition of displays. Eloisa was a pro when it came to painting those branches! 

 After a day of creating the window I was very happy with how it all came out! There is something magical about it I can feel it. 

I decided to add a Nicki Mcclure "Winter" towel into the mix. I have one more trick up my sleeve for this window if I can get around to it! Hope you all can stop by and see the display in person! Thanks again to my wonderful team at Road Less Traveled!

Hot Holiday

I have a riddle for you.

What do The U.S., Brazil, St. Bart's & Mexico have in common?

They were the top Holiday destinations for Celebs this last year.

Let's take not so if one day we become sickeningly rich we can go ahead and vacate to these top tier locations. If celebs are going to these locals to get away from the La-La-Land craziness then it must be good. I'm thinking that St. Bart's is sponsoring celebs because it was the most inhabited place these last few weeks with A list names.

Let's go ahead and see what everyone is up to in these hot holiday spots.

Salma Hayek-St. Barts

Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher-St. Barts

Jessica Alba-Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

Chloe Sevigny- South Beach Miami, Florida

Ellen DeGeneres & Portia De Rossi-St. Barts

Matthew McConaughey & Camila Alves-Trancoso Beach, Brazil

Jennifer Love Hewitt-Hawaii

Fergie-St. Barts

If you could go on a Hot Holiday where would you go?

-I haven't been on a hot holiday, I usually go to Florida in the end of August and it's down season and super humid. I would like to go to Hawaii for a hot holiday, it just looks pretty in photo's, hope it's just as warm as it looks.
