Happy Monday everyone! Here is the latest issue of Elléments Magazine. I love this cover! Trés sexy 😉 Definitely inspires me to get bikini ready. We’ll see if I actually get motivated, ha! Anyway, props to the team for this hot photo.
I had a fun beauty shoot idea and it so happens to also be in this issue of Elléments! 

Conceived from a love of sunglasses and blossomed into a garden-inspired editorial, it was definitely a team effort. Thank you to Lauren, Tracey, Holland, Alexandra, Blake, and Dana for working with me, and of course to Elléments for including our work!

This is the money shot, what I had envisioned for our shoot!

But of course, we got some other fun shots too. 😉

Bangle, Circa Sixty Three; Top, Signature8

Now the part I know you’re all waiting for: BTS shots 😉
Here are a few care of Lauren’s Instagram:

I made the funky sunglasses and gathered colorful props for our shoot.

Vogue-ing.

These shots are always 100% genuine hard work except for me. I can’t really get in there with everyone in my way, haha. So here’s a frog for your head, Blake! Weee! Check out our professional backdrop, too.

And some of my BTS goodies:

Anytime I use flowers I just can’t get it in me to use fake flowers. I haven’t found the right silk ones yet, I suppose. But these were nice and hardy and lasted as long as we needed them to 🙂 Side note: They don’t make a very good eye mask.

Selfies on selfies, what!

I don’t know either.

If you want your hands on the issue of Elléments, get it here! Thank you for your support <3
