Duffy Cruise in Newport Harbour

I am a do'er. My natural tendency in hanging out with with someone isn't to go grab a coffee...I want to do something. The way to win my heart is through an adventure. This past weekend I ventured down to Orange County with 15 of my favorite girlfriends to go on a Duffy Cruise with Pirates Life Boat Rental on the Newport Harbour. It was FABULOUS! We had dinner pot luck style on the boat, at sunset while blasting some of our favorite tunes!

A Magical Little Island

Anyone who has spent more then 12 minutes with me knows I love nothing more then personal time with a close friend going on an adventure outside involving whimsy.

I am a born and bred Southern California girl so I don't know how this was the first time I had other ventured to Orange County's Balboa Island. Let me tell you, it's love. What a magical little land!

I mean, seriously? We took the ferry over to this magical land. To make things even better...we took it for free courtesy of the 16 year old who was running it. 

What is a day of whimsy without cotton candy?

Highly recommend Balboa Bike N Beach Stuff. We were able to rent beach cruises for 5 dollars for an hour! The staff was really helpful and even allowed us to take the bikes for an extra 20 minutes free of charge :) Definitely hit them up if you are in the area!

The thing with eating cotton candy is that it is some messy stuff...

Such a dreamy day with such a dear friend!

Enchanted

Its been a crazy week! Last week as I was walking downtown to my next fashion show, I was struck by how truly enchanted I am by the life I get to lead.

The girls and I ventured downtown to the Vibiana for the GenArt fresh faces in fashion show. I of course came armed wearing my favorite lipstick. Ruby Woo by MAC cosmetics.

A night out in Los Angeles isn't complete without a celebrity sighting. True to form, there was David Arquette in the front row.

After the fashion show, I headed over to Little Bear for a benefit for Two Wings.

Two Wings uses education, mentoring and life coaching to empower at-risk youth and survivors of sex trafficking in achieving their dreams in the greater Southern California region.

And then came day 2 of LA Fashion Week. This dress is made up completely of corn kernels by the very talented Jlynn of JHauss!

Gorgeous!

Directly following the fashion show we drove down to Orange County for 31 Bits launch.  It was so fun to dance the night away with old friends and new friends! I am so beyond thankful for the unique people God throws into my life. I met Summer earlier this year at an event and knew instantly this was a woman I wanted to know. She loves Jesus and fashion and lives in my hometown of San Diego! Girl after my own heart. I also recently met Candace Cameron Bure through some work related stuff and I just think she is great!
