Why I Go To Las Vegas Every Year For My Birthday


Food and Wine, Lifestyle, Restaurants, Travel

Happy Friday, everyone! As you read today’s post I am either in the air or have landed in Las Vegas! As I mentioned in my reflections post earlier this week, I turned another year older. And I’m completely ok with it. I’m actually pretty proud of it. I’ve made it this long on Earth and […]

  • Currently babysitting the sweetest little golden retriever and soaking up every minute of it 💕🐾 (see more on stories). But I wanted to share my casual Friday western inspired outfit. Two fun things about it: (1) My ankle boots were a gift from my mom. She got them from StitchFix but felt the heel was too high for her. When you wear the same size as your mom, sometimes you get free shoes! LOL (2) My necklace is handmade from @hadlock_designs, a local business here in central Texas. It features a tooled leather feather and natural amazonite beads. The craftsmanship is amazing. I love it! Shop my look at the link in bio or download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app to shop this pic via screenshot. http://liketk.it/2zXIh @liketoknow.it #liketkit  I hope your weekend is treating you right! 😘 #casuallooks #outfitoftheday #westerninspired
  • “I do want to express myself. Ok? And I
don't need thirty-seven pieces of flair to do it.” (Name the movie👇!) // ....maybe just this pair, though. When the bell bottoms are right, they are RIGHT! 👖My inner bohemian fell in love with these denim belted flares from @urbanprovisionstx. Legs for days when you don’t actually have legs for days. 😉 Also, Friday Favorites are on the blog today and I’ve linked several other belted denim flares to shop in the post. Or, shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app or shop at the link in my bio! http://liketk.it/2zWnX @liketoknow.it  #liketkit  #denim #bellbottoms #hippie
  • Happy Valentine’s Day from the Cathedrals & Cafes team! ❤️ Just kidding...Bella doesn’t work here. But she does make a pretty cute mascot! 🐾 Swipe for more plus an outtake. I’m pretty sure she actually licked one of my teeth in the last photo. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #dogmomlife #valentinesday #galentine #labsofinsta
  • New on the B L O G - I’m sharing 5 sample size beauty products worthy of a full size investment. If it’s going on or in my body, I prefer to “try before I buy.” I spent the last few weeks trying some new brands, and these products from @origins , @aveda , @freshbeauty , @alternahaircare , and @kiehls made the cut! Have you tried them? Any others you think I should test out? 🛁 Link in bio! http://liketk.it/2zTrG @liketoknow.it #liketkit  #bestofbeauty #skincare #haircare
  • “In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different.” Coco Chanel 💫 My own style definitely changes a lot. What can I say? I get bored with the same look, and I love pieces with versatility. ‘Shop your closet’ is a nice mantra. Case in point...this utility jacket as seen in yesterday’s quite casual post, whereas today I dressed it up with a funky clutch and a little arm party. Different indeed. 🖤 http://liketk.it/2zStB @liketoknow.it #liketkit #armparty #utilityjacket #envelopeclutch
  • In the spirit of Monday, let’s GET REAL 📸 Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what I’m doing 99.9% of the time when we travel (note the bulging Pacsafe bag - it’s the best, btw). Instagram is definitely the highlight reel - the perfectly staged tabletop with a rosé in my hand, a beautiful backdrop and me in some outfit I’m telling you about, etc. I love composing shots like that and I find it to be a fun way to express myself. But I also love being behind the camera. Photography is a passion of mine. It’s one of the parts of being a blogger that I love the most. I’m not a professional, but I have found some ways to get the perfect shot:
📸
Be early or be late - to get the best shots without people you need to get up early or stay late to avoid peak tourist traffic. Plan ahead!
📸
You don’t need the most expensive camera - some of my best work was actually shot on an iPhone. If you use a fancy camera (mine above is the Nikon D5500) try mixing it up with iPhone photos, too.
📸
Lighting is everything - see first tip above. I prefer natural sunlight to anything else.
📸
Experiment - use a park bench as a tripod, zoom in on a church’s architectural details, beauty can be found in the most usual places (think coffee shops, bookstores, markets)
📸
Apps for editing - there are so many tools now for this, but I use VSCO for all my iPhone shots and Lightroom for Nikon photography. 📸 
Take more photos than you think you need - duh, digital is pretty much infinite. Believe me, it takes 100 shots to get “the one” and that’s ok. Just have plenty of storage to accommodate.
