And we're back from Virginia! Would you like to see a little bit of my mom's wedding? I wasn't going to share a lot because I feel that it was a very intimate and heartfelt experience and sometimes I like to keep those for myself. Do you feel like that too sometimes? How much do we share with others via social media vs. how much we keep for our own hearts and treasures? I always go back and forth.

In the meantime, here are some outtakes of photos that I arranged and styled and shot for the Gardenista feature I was so stoked to do this past spring. Simplicity is always best for me. Can you feel the breeze in the last shot?

Gardenista / Less is More

all photos by yours truly

Friends! I'm so very excited and hugely flattered to share with you the TIGERS to LILIES feature on Gardenista! You know how much I love Gardenista so it's an extra bonus and major honor to be there again (remember my floral crown tutorial last summer?)! I was interviewed for it by Leigh Patterson, of Synonym Journal. She detailed such a wonderful piece and what I appreciate most about it is that she stayed true to my word. No exaggerations or tales. Am I gushing too much? Oh gosh. I am just really, really happy. It is a piece that I believe in too, about how significant nature is for all of us and how we very much need it indoors as much as outdoors. How it doesn't have to be extravagant either. Meaning you can do it too! Less is More. Keep it wild, keep it natural.

Have a read here.

Funkhaus + Gardenista

I tend to get to work with really wonderful people. The design firm Funkhaus in downtown LA hired me to collaborate with them on their space + plant situation. I couldn't have found a cooler, more top tier team. Furthermore we're working on a plant-scription for weekly fresh flowers. Dave, Drew, Meghan and Nicky D. thank you! Couldn't be more pleased with how your space turned out. You guys are seriously grand-scale.

Also I want to give a little shout-out to Gardenista for featuring me last week on their site. I am such a fan of theirs and felt really special when they inquired about my work. Thank you Michelle Slatalla.

Lots of good things. Always.
