Whip it girls

February 2013.

Went to capo beach with the Fam.
The girls are roller blading Queens!
Poor Stella only has roller skates, and she was the only one falling the whole time.

Sneak Peak Spring Editorial for Ladies & Gents

About 2 weeks ago, I did a shoot with my beautiful Argentinian friend, Daiana. My whole idea of doing something dramatic and darker got flipped around when my friend Serene (editor in chief of Ladies & Gents) pointed something out. Even though my idea would have been fine she said it is almost spring so think bright and colors! Still I didn't really do that, but instead I made it very fresh and light. These are just some of my favorites we took. Especially the first one, I love how the sun is shining right through her! She is so ethereal. Such a natural beauty. The rest of this shoot will be featured on www.ladies-gents.com

But not for a week or so, make sure to check it out!

Another Post About the Most Beautiful Day at the Beach

Three. Absolutely breathtaking!!! Favorite photograph!!!
Four. Little sailboat running away from the storm.
Everything, so blue, so beautiful, my favorite.

Who knew by the time we got there it started coming down hard? I was sick and got even sicker. But it was totally worth out. Already did a post about this, but photos were from my phone. I still can't get over how that was the most beautiful day at the beach!

Hollywood Hills

Three. I like brick buildings 

P.S. Did you notice anything different about the photos? Did you read the caption right?

You did? That's because these were taken with my new camera :D & you didn't because I accidentally switched one & two..

Thankful Nights on the Pier

                                                                                            

Oh my! That only took me 15 mins to get the photos to arrange in that order, and it still looks bad!

Anyways 

One-Six: Well that's me, on the pier, at night.

The same night an organization had leftover Thanksgiving meals. They wanted to give one to my family & our friends, but we didn't need it. We took it anyways and brought it over to the pier. Over there, we were privileged to meet a guy who was sleeping on the pier. We started talking to him & gave him the warm meal to share with his friends. Our short chat turned into half an hour of story telling by him! It was super fun. All the kids sat down on the pier and listened. It was getting really cold & late, so we had to leave. Before we left, he told us he would teach us how to fish, and also to call him Grandpa! We wished him a Happy Thanksgiving He was such a sweet guy and I definitely feel so thankful to have met him. Also I feel so blessed and should not take anything for granted. I have a place to live, I have food to eat, I have an amazing family, I have an amazing God, I can go on. Too bad I don't have a picture of him, but I guess it's all me feeling blessed to be such with such great people & to live in a lovely place. 

P.S. Taken with iPhone 3GS by my Romanian sister! Te iubesc! (No translator needed ;))

This is from a hike a few months ago, although it could pass for this gloomy day today. I'm trying to catch up on my blogging. So sorry for the excessive amount of posts you might see today. The last few months have been crazy. I was not wanting to blog at all, even though I did three times.. I realized I really need to keep up, at least until I have enough time to scrapbook all this! 

P.S. these photos were taken with my little iPhone 3GS

Five Fresh Tunes To Start Off The New Year

 

Start the new year off right with great music. Something about these few bands and the sounds they produce, just makes me feel fresh, clean, and in a better mood. Please listen to all of them, you’re ears will be very pleased! Enjoy!
One. Jonsi- Go Do
Jonsi is a musician & amazing vocalists, who just so happens to be from Iceland, one of my favorite places ever! My curious ears went on a hunt for this song after hearing it in a car commercial, about two years ago. Jonsi is also featured throughout the whole film, “We Bought a Zoo”, another favorite of mine. His music and art is so bright, colorful, & airy. This song would definitely be the theme song to the adventure of my life in the mountains & by the sea.

 

 

Two. Sondre Lerche- A Modern Nature
Sondre Lerche’s “Dan in Real Life” album is a favorite of mine. I’m not the biggest fan of the rest of his music, haven’t had the chance to listen to much of it anyways. For number 2, I was tied on 2 different songs by him to post. I went with this one, because Sondre Lerche- To be Surprised, as beautiful as it is, doesn’t sound like a new beginning, more like a lovely add-on to the rest of the year; unlike A Modern Nature, I feel a new beginning from it. Listen to it anyways!

Three. Peter Bjorn & John- Objects of my Affection
PB&J have been a favorite throughout my childhood and still are. This song is actually a favorite right now. So this list is in no particular order. Their album “Writer’s Block” has probably the best music for the start of the new year. Their music ranges all over the place, if you’re sad or happy they’ll have a song for you in any mood. Also they’re one band that I still haven’t seen live.

Four. Edward Sharpe & The Magnectic Zeros- That’s What’s Up
At first I wasn’t sure why this song fits into this category, but I found some reasons why. I just heard this song for the first time this week, so it’s new to me and I’m sure I’ll be listening to it all year. So now, this part only makes sense if you watch the music video, (so watch it) the part when the little girls leaves and doesn’t want her breakfast, well that sounds like me right now. Since it’s a new year, I’m eating a lot healthier, trying to not eat that much meat & dairy. So you could say, like the little girl in the video, “I’m vegan now.” My first concert was to see them, 3 years ago.

Five. Badly Drawn Boy- I love NYE
So this song really does not fit in this category at all, at least the title doesn’t. It’s more like a song to end the year off, but anyways I still love it. Or a song to end this post. Yes 2012 was a good year and this is a good song. I think this is so beautiful! Almost makes me want to cry.. (any song with violin in it might make me cry FYI) Out of all these songs, I think this is my favorite because not only does it please my ears, but also my soul.

 

Did you get that new fresh feeling I was talking about?

What’s your favorite song on here?
Happy 2013 People!!!
Love & Peace ~ Bailey
