Life. Style. Rosé.
A few weeks ago Chris and I plus our photographer, Ashley LaPrade, spent the afternoon shooting our engagement photos. We used our venue, Wiens Family Cellars, and a favorite restaurant, Blackbird Tavern, as the back drop and I knew I wanted our outfits to make sense for each location.

I love any excuse to pack up and head to a hotel…even for just a night. Back in August Chris and I had the opportunity to escape to the La Quinta Resort & Spa for the night and we JUMPED at the chance! La Quinta is about 30 minutes from our house in Palm Springs […]
