COKE IS LIFE

July 20, 2015 Angela Fales

Hello Loves <3

I hope you all had a weekend full of pure bliss! (Heaven knows I did!) My weekend at The Grand was nothing short of perfection. I’ll be filling you in on all the detes later on this week! (:

I had some time to read this past weekend (that hasn’t happened in months..) and I finished “My Story” by Elizabeth Smart in less than a day! IT WAS SO GOOD! And heart breaking. And scary. And amazing. And eye opening. And happy. And good. SO GOOD! If you haven’t read it yet, I HIGHLY recommend it! Elizabeth is truly an amazing woman. I admire her very much <3 more than I could express.

For those of you who know me, you know that I’m 100% Coke girl! I’ve loved Coke since I was an infant. In fact, coke was one of my very first words! (I believe it was my second!)

I don’t drink soda often (the bubbles burn and I don’t likey) BUT when I do have soda, it’s always Coke! I’m always stealing sips of Chases Coke here and there! And my dads.. Anndd my grandmamas…. And everyone elses.

Considering my previous and current addiction, I had to have this shirt! It was sold out pretty much everywhere, but I finally found it! (Yaassss!) And not only is it darling, but it’s softer than soft! Thank you wildfox for being amazing <3

Last thing, I’m finally using like to know it! So now you can shop my posts through Instagram & your emails!

Happy day loves <3 I hope you all kicked Monday where it counts! xx|BA

WALDORF ASTORIA

June 26, 2015 Angela Fales

Good morning my loves! I’m so excited to share my stay at Waldorf Astoria in Park City with you all!

Believe it or not, I AM a morning person! I’m not normally this happy when I wake up, but I’m always this happy when I wake up in Park City! Especially in beds that are WAY more comfortable than mine and have 4 massive fluffy pillows that are softer than clouds!

When I think of Park City, I think of snow, winter, and extreme sports! But when I think of Waldorf Astoria, I think of lounging, pool days, sorbet, and blue skies!

Waldorf Astoria does Summer right! Their pool is absolutely stunning! It’s surrounded by at least 50 padded beach chairs, 3 massive canopies, and a gourmet snack shack making it easy to spend your entire day their!

Waldorf Astoria’s outdoor pool is hands down my favorite in Park City! Between a gorgeous view, comfortable places to lounge, and full outside service, it’s hard to beat!

If & when you ever decide to come back in from the pool, you’ll die. Waldorf Astoria is simply STUNNING!

This is the lobby and entry way, isn’t it a dream?! The chandeliers and the huge stair case kill me! It’s absolute perfection! There’s also a little restaurant called Powder to the left of the lobby. And just like the lobby, powder is nothing short of perfection!

Breakfast from powder anyone? (;

If you would rather dine out, or spend more of your time outside, you’re in the perfect spot! First of all, the Canyons Ski resort is both directly to the side and behind the Waldorf Astoria! You can walk/hike around, or take the lift and ride through the Canyons to see the most beautiful views!

Waldorf Astoria is also one of the closer lux hotels to Park City’s amazing outlets & newer shopping area! (The Whole foods, Zoupas, Five Guys area!) It’s approximately a 5 minute drive, you can’t beat that!

The Waldorf Astoria also offers amazing spa services, golfing, fitness center & fitness classes, events, dining, and more!

If you haven’t stayed here before, ITS A MUST! Especially since it’s summer! Go treat yo self! Ashlee, Emily, & I had an absolute BLAST! I’m already dying to go back! ): Till we meet again my love </3 ILY WA

MY SANDMAN

June 22, 2015 Angela Fales

Hey Loves <3 Happy Monday! I’m so excited to share this incredible stylized shoot with you all, the pictures are an absolute dream!

And given the weather we were working with, I think we all did an amazing job! The wind was blowing sand EVERYWHERE, it was hard for everyone to keep there eyes open!

I couldn’t have loved this shoot anymore! Shooting with Chase is my favorite, and we rarely get to do stylized shoots like this anymore! (Sad face ): ) The entire crew at the shoot just meshed, so despite our sandy eye balls, we all had the best time!

I don’t really have anything to say about this incredible shoot.. The pictures speak for themselves!

ENJOY! xx|BA

DOGS UNLEASHED

June 1, 2015 Angela Fales

Alright my crazy dog lovers, I am so excited to share today’s post with you! Tuesday and I spent a day at one of Utahs finest “Dog Hotels” called Dogs unleashed!

Chase and I frequently go out of town on the weekends, and since Tuesday’s not fully trained (she’s 4 months old) I feel like it’s better to take her to a puppy care center rather than to our families homes! (I don’t want her barking all night with them, or having accidents in their house!)

So after looking into a few places, we stumbled across Dogs Unleashed & I was sold instantly!

The concept of Dogs Unleashed is to give dogs the 5 star hotel experience while their humans are away! Dogs Unleashed has a doggy pool, K9 grass, Glass kennels, an agility course, grooming, training, dog t.v playing 24/7 in every room of the hotel, two penthouse suites, treats, toys, AND the staff is present 24/7, so you know your pooch will always be well looked after!

Chase and I took Tuesday there to check it out, and we were blown away by everything!

The staff was INSANELY nice! These people are dog people, & dog people are my people! Tuesday immediately warmed up to everyone, and everyone treated her like a little princess!

We checked out the “Penthouse Suite” (yes, this is a doggy suite) and I adored it! Although, it’s kind of sad that a doggy room is cuter than my human room…. Hahaa, the things we do for dogs!

This Penthouse suite has a wall of glass, so your pup can be watched over by staff & seen by those who enter in! (I love that) It also has a T.V which can be put on any channel by the owners request! I’d probably have Tuesday watching the Bachelorette every Monday night, so we could have our girl time and talk about it when I got back to her! (;

Here’s Tues showing off her belly in the penthouse suite! Hahaa, she’s so cute!

Tuesday & I checked out the agility course, & she was in pure puppy heaven! At first she wouldn’t go near it, and I couldn’t get her to go through the tunnels, or climb anything. Then one of the workers popped out with a bag of treats and began working with Tuesday!

On his first try he got her to go through the tunnel! I was SO proud of her! He began teaching me some basic concepts of training & rewarding that have made a HUGE difference in getting Tuesday to respond to my commands! The workers at dogs unleashed are professionals and know what they’re talking about! I need to go in and do a training session because I know the amount of progress Tuesday will have will be amazing!

The pool is by far the most unique thing about dogs unleashed! It’s a huge bone shaped pool that goes from shallow, to deep, to shallow! Obviously Tuesday wouldn’t get near the water (saying she hates the water would be an understatement) but my photographers dog Dash jumped in within 3 seconds of entering this room! HAHAA! It was hillarious! And look at Dash’s face, what a DAWG! He loved it!

One of the dogs staying at the hotel was gorgeous, and since I’m dog obsessed, I had to meet her!

This gorgeous Alaskan malamute is named Sheeba (: she’s a regular at Dogs Unleashed & I sort of fell in love with her! First thing she did when she entered the room was dive into the pool! Hahaa. Then she walced over to the lawn chairs layed out like a beach babe! Seriously what kind of dog does that?! Too funny! It made me fall in love with her more!

I took a peek at the back room where all the current dogs were (: I was surprised at how many dogs were there because Dogs Unleashed has only been open since February! Their owners know what’s up though, this is hands down the best dog care facility I’ve ever seen!

I also was able to check out the glass kennels for the dogs! It looks amazing and the dogs seemed happy about their current situations (; In my opinion, it’s a million times better than the stacked metal cages with bars!

Dogs Unleahsed is a place where both Chase & I feel that Tuesday is taken care of in every way, watched over, and loved. What more could you ask for?! Dogs Unleashed is Tuesday’s official home away from home, & we couldn’t be more confident in our decision!

Happy Monday my puppy people! <3 Love you all!

I’m obsessed.

MZ Wallace is knows for function + luxury. Their products are not only fashionable, but also durable & accomadating. I’ve had one of their backpacks since I was 17 & it’s still in perfect condition! Everything I own from MZW is a favorite <3 This is easily one of my favorite bag brands!

This African print bag is extremely limited, so if you love it, jump on it! (Before its gone. Forever. Anndd Eva.) Release date is June 6th! I’ll be reminding you all of its goodness when that date is finally here!

Remember my weekend in PC at the montage where I talked about a store called Olive & Tweed? (: Well, there you have it folks! Olive & Tweed for the win! <3

If you haven’t seen their shop, you simply must stop in! It’s in my top 3 shops for Park City! <3 Pluuussss, this romper is sold out online, so if you dig it, I suggest you contact Olive & Tweed! (:

Here’s a few pics from the Montage post of Olive & Tweed! <3 I adore this store!

LITERALLY OVERALL

May 18, 2015 Angela Fales

Oh Monday, why can’t you be Sunday? I wish you were a day filled with family time, food, and SNL re runs!

My family and I watched a handful of SNL skits last night while eating Australian chocolate in my Aunties bed, it just doesn’t get better than that! “I’m trying to can, but I literally can’t even. Margo, can you like shut the window?” >insert literally a million laugh cry emojis< I would insert an emoji on this post but, I literally can’t. Word press, sheesh.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, YouTube “I can’t SNL” right now! Like literally get off of my site and watch this right naw >>>> https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef_33wIEeds

This lil number is overall from Lulu*s! <3 Lulu*s is literally a one stop shop with everything your heart desires! I love Lulu*s!

I literally wasn’t sure about the overalls for a while, but now I’m slightly obsessed! Not only am I in love with them, but everyone who has seen me wear this outfit has literally thrown me compliments left & right! Overalls=Winning & I literally can’t even believe it took me so long to get some. I’m blaming Margo. K bye.

P.s. If this is your first day on my site, know I don’t say “literally can’t even!” Haha SNL got the best of me! Or the worst.. It’s my cousin Sierras fault!

MONTAGE

May 12, 2015 Angela Fales

If you’re friends with me on snapchat, you saw little bits & pieces of my incredible weekend at the Montage in Deer Valley!

The Montage combines pure luxury & elegance, giving you the experience of a lifetime! The Montage is without a doubt my favorite hotel in Utah. If I need a baby holiday or a mini stay-cation, my first pick is always the Montage!

This hotel is simply stunning. From the inside to the out, everything is refreshing, captivating, and appealing. The hotel itself is breath taking, & so is the view! You don’t see views like this at any other hotel, their location is on point!

Below is the view when it’s not snowy & foggy!

My favorite thing about the Montage is their spa. The Montage chain is known for having world class spas, not to mention the best Spa services around! Their spa is the most relaxing, clean, and gorgeous spa in Utah. (I’ve been to them all, and not one can compete with the Montage.)

K, this pool though

There are countless treatments offered at spa Montage. From massages to milk baths, they have it all. Over the weekend I did the hydro-shock treatment 3 times. It was heavenly!

Hydro-shock is a 30 minute treatment that helps clear your skin of acne, relaxes your muscles, brings a glow to the skin, and burns 1000 calories. (Hot & cold remedies that shock the body) Nothing makes my body feel better than hydro-shock treatment, I could do it every day!

During the month of May (and the first 15 days of June), locals are given 50% off the day admission cost (normally $55) and 25% off of any spa treatment, so that families can give Mom a great experience at the spa while the family can enjoy the recreation at Compass Sports. To do this, request the Utah Mom’s special and the discount will be applied. <3 You’re welcome!

I’m glad I was burning calories that way, because I ate myself silly over the weekend! The Montage has a restaurant called the Apex, and it’s my favorite breakfast place in Utah! Their eggs benedict is divine…. Chase and I go grab breakfast there every few months when we have something worth celebrating! It’s worth the drive! Also, when you book a room, it comes with a $50.00 breakfast credit, so you HAVE to try it!

The most incredible steak nachos of life ^^

There’s also a little gelato shop inside the hotel. I had some raspberry sorbet that melted in my mouth.. It was to die for! The sorbet and gelato are all house made! So you can only experience it’s goodness at the Montage!

It was snowing Friday & Saturday when I was there, or I would have gone around their trails and done some hiking or biking! Their mountainside is lovely, and they have any gear you might need on hand! (Sunday was Sunny but I spent all my time at the spa!)

In the winter, Deer Valley ski resort is open and directly in the back yard of the montage! The Montage will keep you entertained in any weather!

I love that this hotel is also for kids. They have a craft room/child care for children, a bowling alley, multiple pools, and nightly s’mores at the fire pits! So you can go get your nails done while your kids are crafting to their hearts desire!

Jordan & Chase doin hood rat thangs ^^

The rooms here are immaculate. Perfectly white fluffy beds, decks with outrageous views, heated bathroom floors, bathtubs that fill up above your shoulders, flat screen tv’s, heck, there’s even a phone in the bathroom! If that’s not completely fancy, then I don’t know what is!

Park City is a perfect vacation spot. I believe it accommodates to everyone’s life style! The artists, the shopaholics, the adventurists, the travelers, the dog lovers, the foodies, the film junkies, the extreme athletes, the politicians, the families, the honey mooners, the country folk, and SO many more! Park city is for everyone, there are bits & pieces that interest everyone all around the city!

Main Street is my favorite little area. So much is compiled on this street! The food, shopping, and art is all phenomenal! I definitely tore up main over the weekend, and picked up a darling outfit from Olive and Tweed that you’ll see on the blog later this week! Their store is darling! And it accommodates to everyone’s check book! The prices have a large range and everything is adorable! Olive and Tweed carries 3 of my favorite brands; Free People, BB Dakota, & Gentle Fawn!

Here’s a peek of Olive & Tweed!

Speaking of shopping, the Montage also has a few gift shops you can stop into! One has luxury clothing, unique gifts, and randoms, while the other is more sport and wellness based!

Montage carries lululemon (: (YAASSSS!) I love checking out their gift shop because what lulu sells out of, Montage seems to have in stock! (It’s a win for us!)

As you can tell, my weekend at the montage couldn’t have been more perfect! If you’re in need of a holiday, need a honey moon hotel, or an anniversary celebration, the Montage will exceed your expectations by 100%! There is no better hotel in UT!

Outside pool on Sunday once the snow was gone!

Dogs are allowed! I didn’t bring Tuesday though, she’s no where near trained yet!

Letters to the room? (: I felt so special!

Till we meet again my love. xx|BA

BLUE WITH BAE

April 8, 2015 Angela Fales

Kk, what you’re seeing is real time people! These pictures are us in a nutshell!

Together we are silly, giddy, half serious, and most of all deep in love. These pictures are us on so many levels….

People think it’s crazy when I tell them we never argue, or that we’ve never missed a day of seeing each other since we went on our first date nearly two and a half years ago. (discluding vacations & work trips) Chase and I just click.. We’re always on the same wave length! If I’m feeling a night in with the cuddle bugs, so is he! And if he’s feeling a dinner date in the city, I am too! It’s quite funny at times, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Someone once told me that they thought it was “passionless” and bad if a couple didn’t fight. That individual said if you don’t often fight in a relationship, there is no passion or progression.

I couldn’t disagree more. To me, not arguing means 1. You flow together & 2. You love each other more than anything, and fighting isn’t of worth. I love that we never have the urge to argue or raise our voices at one another. It makes me incredibly happy, and feels like another validation that he is my soul mate. (There are countless validations I’ve had with this one) (:

Last night, Chase and I took two of the younger girls in my ward on a date with us. We were being goofy and teasing the girls about boys! I kept giving them goofy advice & tips through out the night (such as nasa is life, you must aspire to be nasa, work for nasa, joke, joke, etc.) ANYWAYS when we started teasing about boys, I felt it important they know that 1. Chase is a perfect example of a man you should aspire to be with. And 2. That Chase is the type of man that every girl deserves. The type of man who treats you like a princess, one who is comforting, kind, loving, honest, spontaneous, one who puts you first, one who makes you smile from the inside out, one who is on the same wave length as you, who had similar goals, one who works his butt off, and one who loves harder than you ever thought possible.

Chase is all these things and more. I truly am the luckiest girl in the world to have him.

Ladies, don’t ever settle for less than what you’re worth. Always keep pushing for what you want & deserve in life. You’re all amazing, and your life should be nothing short of bliss. (Also, work for nasa. Jk. But seriously)

Sorry for the love rant! I just feel prompted to tell each & everyone of you not to settle for less than you’re worth. ILYSM! xx|BA

CHOPPED

March 26, 2015 Angela Fales

Let’s talk about the goodness that is black, white, & CHOPPED! For those of you who have added me on snapchat, you’ve seen this hair cut since Saturday! Over the weekend while Chase and I were in St George, his sister in law cut it for me! It was spur of the moment, but I’m glad I did it! (:

The craziest part about this hair cut is that my Laced Hair is STILL IN! That’s right peeps, short hair and extensions! Can you believe my hair is actually shorter than this?! Crazy!

If you have short hair and are looking to gain thickness or help with holding style, you could always throw in a row or two of laced hair! It will change your hair game for the rest of your life!

Side note, this outfit is my new favorite.. I think I’m in love.

NYFW LOOK 1

February 24, 2015 Angela Fales

These pics are cracking me up!!!! I love the little Asian who’s bundled up giving me a weird look because I’m dressed like spring! Hahaa! I was getting tons of weird looks…. IT WAS SO COLD! Don’t fret though, I had 4 coats with me, and they all kept me exceptionally warm! (:

One night Jessa and I were running back to the hotel (because of the cold) and the wind was so strong that it was pushing us! Everytime our feet left the ground we were getting moved by the wind…. It was INSANE!

I’ve never experienced cold like this before.. It’s the kind of cold that makes your eyes water the second you step outside. The kind that makes it hard to breathe! The kind that chills you to the bone! I’m not exaggerating either, the cold is true people!

While I don’t miss the cold, I miss just about everything else about New York. I miss how close everything was, how good the food tastes, the lulu lemon and temple two blocks out of the hotel, and the cute little doorsmen who said “I Love You” every time I left the hotel! Hahaa, it was so funny!!!! I always told em I loved them too. And I really did! If it weren’t for them, I’d have to touch the cold door and fight the wind to open it!

This outfit was simply one of my favorites. It looks so classy & chic! <3 You can’t go wrong with it!

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

February 22, 2015 Angela Fales

HEY MY PEEPS! AHHH sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted! New York got biz-zay! Anndd the Wifi was horrible! TOO MANY PEOPLE!

Are you ready to hear about Mercedes Benz Fashion Week?! (: And all of the craziness that happened on my trip?! Good, because you’re GETTIN it!

My first day on this journey consisted of flights, sleeping, checking out the city, and shopping in Soho!

My friend and I stayed at the Empire Hotel (gossip girl hotel) and it was the absolute best place to stay for fashion week! The Lincoln center and tents were 20 steps out of the lobby! I was so grateful that our hotel was so close to everything! It made walking in the cold so much easier!

Day 1 Pics (:

Where the magic happens (:

My home for the week!

My boo Jessa & I being girly in Sephora! If you added me on snapchat during the trip, you saw a lot of her!

My second day in the city was day one of shows! I went to two shows and it was so cool to see how it all works!

My first show was Mark & Estel, and it was honestly the best way to kick off Fashion week! They were so good to me. They gave me an amazing front row seat to the show, sweetest goodie bag, and they even scheduled me for a fitting (which I missed and felt horrible about..) But honestly, as a new blogger & a baby blogger, they made me feel important and apart of the industry! I loved them, and their show couldn’t have been more fun! Mark and Estel put on a rock concert at the end of their show! Hahaa it was so strange but they are both so artistic and rad that it worked!

My next show was simply gorgeous.. Monique Lhuilier! She had some of the prettiest beading & gowns I had ever seen.. Her models had a really fun runway to walk on and it was cool to see how she styled the walking/positioning for her show! Everything about it was dreamy and unique!

The looks for both of these shows were completely different. Mark & Estel’s was very street and almost grunge, while Monique Lhuilier’s was elegant, classy, and over the top fancy!

Pre Show!

Mark & Estel Models

I wish you could see this better.. Beautiful gold chaining on this jacket! It was to die for!

THEE Mark & Estel Rock Concert Mid Runway Hahaa!

Fin of M & E

Monique Lhulier Army

These models had the most beautiful gowns.. The lights were so bright and the gowns were so shiny that it’s hard to get a good pic of them! Sorry guys!

Walking down the runway and posing onto the stairs.. This was so entertaining to watch!

Valentine’s Day was next & I took a break from all things fashion and did the touristy things! I checked out Times Square, the Empire State Building, a cute lil German restaurant, and almost the Brooklyn bridge! I say almost because I was so cold and couldn’t stay outside any longer! (Hahaa seriously I’m the biggest baby) I loved seeing the city.. But honestly, it wasn’t what I expected it to be. I always imagined New York being glamorous, but it’s actually a really fast paced, dirty city. There was trash all over the roads, everything is old, and the poverty was breaking my heart..

I thought I would be obsessed with the city, but I wasn’t really into it until the next day!

Here are my day 3 super touristy pics!

Times Square (: people were getting married all over the street because it was V-Day! Hahaa

On top of the Empire State building! There were also people getting married up here…. hahaa! It was the most amazing view of the city from up here.. I loved it.

I got lost on the subway, but found this gorgeousness..

Day 4 had me falling in love with NY.. My friend & I went 10 minutes outside of the city and it was quiet, clean, unique, and romantic. There were gorgeous structured buildings and apartments there, and unique salons and shops. Kind of what I would imagine Paris to look like! I could have stayed there forever.. I immediately wanted to move there and never leave!

That night I had a few shows! I attended Hendrik Vermeulen, Rozalia Bot, Landi Accessories, & Antonio Urzi’!

The Landi Accessories & Antonio Urzi shows were the most unique shows I have ever seen! For the Landi Accessories show, the models were both male and female, and splattered with paint. It was so cool to see the way it was styled.. The accessories were the only things not covered in paint, they were gorgeous and really stood out!

The Antonio Urzi show was insane.. The only way I could describe it is human gladiator gods and goddesses walking down the runway. Full on metal suits, dresses, helmets, and more. He has designed pieces worn by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and more. So you KNOW his pieces were killer!

Half way through his show, a man came out with a prosthetic leg matching his metal costume. And after him, a girl with a prosthetic arm matching her dress, and after that, models in wheel chairs which their chairs matching their insane costumes. It was so cool.. And it really made a fashion statement. Scratch that. It made a statement. To everyone. It was amazing to see.. This was my favorite show I attended.

The cute and quiet side (:

Little apartments! They were adorable….

Near death experiences in the taxi calls for a pic!

Antonio Urzi kick off.. These girls acted as guards for the runway.. It was so cool!

Landi Accessories

I have no idea why my pictures are flipped…. This girl had a prosthetic arm that matched this dress. It was beautiful.

Between fashion shows, being a tourist, eating out every meal, and shoots, I thought I had experienced all of NY. But NY decided I needed to stay a little longer.. Hahaa!

LONG STORY SHORT; I got stranded, alone, in the big apple! IT WAS INSANE! The weather was bad, I missed a flight, had a flight delayed, had one cancelled, one rebooked, experienced more bad weather, all during an extended weekend with banks closed complete with JFK craziness, I got stuck in New York for 3 extra days! It was a bad situation.. I don’t know what it is about me, but I always unintentionally end up in bad situations! It sucks! But, it makes for great stories (; so that’s one good thing!

Through all the craziness, I was very blessed through it all. I had people watching over me, protecting me, praying for me, and helping me the entire time I was stranded.

I felt like Heavenly Father was saying “Ok BA, you need to experience this to see the real world and become more independent!” As scary as it was at the time, I’m so grateful now to have experienced it all.

Sooo…. my New York trip went from being a 5 day adventure to a week & a half! I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

Last day having brunch for the second time at Sara Beths! Eggs benedict with crab <3 Central Park was directly to the left of this!

Jessa, our Sister, and I having uncontrollable manes! The sickest 4 story toy store! It had the piano from “BIG!” So sick!

Last pic in the center! ):

Bye Lincoln ):

Bye Empire

Bye yummiest chowder house.. But not quite bye NY….

Sooo…. my New York trip went from being a 5 day adventure to a week & a half! I wouldn’t have had it any other way!

I’m so grateful that I was able to go and experience the last Mercedes Benz Fashion Week! This was the last fashion week by Mercedes Benz, ever. Being able to attend it as a 4 month old blogger, get sponsors, and be invited to shows by the actual designers was a complete dream come true for me.

I’d like to thank you all for your love and support on my journey thus far. You’re all amazing and I adore you all! <3 Thanks for Lovin me peeps! I wish I could meet each and everyone of you and express my gratitude for you all! ILYSM! xx|BA

If you see it then you’ll know!

Last Glimpse.. Til next time NY!

December 30, 2014 Brit Andrus

2015 is right around the corner! (: I always feel the need to go out with a bang, and come in with a bang! (it’s very important to me people) I have been so blessed this past year in my modeling career, working with tons of different photographers, companies, mua’s, venders, and more.

This New Years inspired wedding shoot will be the last you’ll see of 2014! I hope you all enjoy this mock wedding/styled shoot as much as Chase and I did! xx|BA

This is the weirdest December ever! Where in the crap is all the snow?! ): Hopefully it will find it’s way here in time for Christmas! (:

Snow is my favorite.. the first time it snowed this year I ran out into it in my bare feet and made a few snow angels! Crazy, I think not! Worth it, I think so!

Chase and I set out to find some snow this past week, and lucky for us, Sundance resort isn’t too far away (: here is our documented snow day!
