Happy Friday! We hope everyone had a good week.  It’s been pretty scorching hot over here in Phoenix and we’ve been doing our best to stay cool in the 100+ degree heat.  We’ve been spending lots of time in our yard regardless, and potting some plants on our patio that we’re so excited to share with you guys in the coming weeks.  This weekend we’ll be shooting a few projects, and getting our house in order before a couple small trips next week to L.A. and Austin.  We’ll be hosting an event in Austin with Canon at Precision Camera & Video on 6/17! It will be a fun afternoon of photo taking, adventuring, and a ton of great prizes. Click here for more details and to register for the event. 🙂

And now, in true Friday fashion here are a few of our favorite links from around the web.  Enjoy!

From coffee shops to iconic landmarks, I guess we really enjoyed ourselves there! Click “read more” to see our photo journal from Berlin.Read More

3 Must-Have Summer Lipstick Shades

| By New Darlings

Ahh lipstick, you pull a look together so easily. I always love a little color on my lips, especially during the summer time. Most people are finding shades that will compliment their sun kissed skin, and while I’m SPF 50+ all the way, finding a fun bright color is still on the top of my summer must-haves list. I recently minimized my makeup stash when we redid our master bath. I wanted the drawers and cabinets to be clutter free and what I realized is that I really just mix up my lip shades ever so slightly with the change in season. So what are the 3 must have shades in everyone’s makeup kit? Coral, pink, and red. Simple and easy. I have found I just deepen these shades for fall and winter, but keep these three basic color families on rotation.Read More

Put a bow on it!

| By New Darlings

It’s been a while since we’ve shared an outfit post. With all the crazy time changes and climate changes, I haven’t really thought about style for Arizona this season too much. I’m not fully ready to dive into shorts and tank tops, despite what the triple digits over here are telling me to do, so I think think this comfy blush and beige look will have to suffice. 😉 We snapped some photos on our way out of our friend’s flower shop the other day, because really, the set up at Camelback Flowershop is always too beautiful not to photograph. (We brought home some great plants for the living room! Can’t wait to share the space with you guys!)
