Today is also pinteresting Wednesday! I got an iMessage last night from my twin saying she knew what my post was because she was on pinterest same time I was.....guess I cant keep anything a secret anymore! My pins are all on beautiful lips and their lip stick colors.  I have found a new passion for lip sticks,  I want every color from hot pink to orange to deep reds.  I will be linking up again with The Vintage Apple for another oh, how pinteresting Wednesday!

Bubbly Tuesday!

Happy Bubbly Tuesday my friends! Like the wall behind me? I LOVE it! haha The word LOVE has been coming up a lot in my life lately.  What do you love or not love? How do you know if you love something or someone? When do you know if you love something instead of just liking it.  For example;  I LOVE pink, and I used to LOVE Gossip Girl until last nights episode.  But I am not sure if I LOVE where I live, or if I LOVE the new coral shorts I bought this past weekend.  Or how do you know how many times you have been in love? Gosh, there just seems to be so many variables that go for just one word.  LOVE I think is something you get excited for when you see it (my new pink nails) or that gives you butterflies in a way you can't stop smiling (Chuck Bass...in my dreams), or the fact that is absolutely changes your life unexpectedly and you dont know how to handle it at that very time. So tell me today, what are you loving?

Photography Edit of the Week: Brynley

Editing my photos can be extremely frustrating, takes for ever,  I want to pull my hair out absolutely exciting, and brings out my creative mind! I decided to start to share my favorite edit from each week.  As I update them on steshajordan.com, you will be able to see them here first as a sneak peek on Classic & Bubbly.  Take a look at the beautiful baby Brynley!

Happy Friday! It is the weekend again. Oh,  how I am so excited to relax.  It was a short week this week with work only 4 days, yet it seemed like the week was dragggging big time. Good things its over and I get some Stesha time! I am just loving color blocking this season.  I need to be more adventurous with adding more dynamic colors to my wardrobe. Even I go shopping I tend to buy what I am comfortable with instead of stepping out of the box. I am going to make that my weekend goal: step out of the box! and not just with shopping, although that is an important one, but with life in general! All the motivational quotes on pinterest has got me thinking lately. I am doing it. I hope you to do too!! Report back to me Monday with what you did this weekend :)  xxoo

riding the cable cars!

Let me start by saying San Fran could possibly be almost as magical as NYC to me! That is saying a lot my friends.  I just had the best time this past weekend, walking around looking at boutiques, eating at little individual restaurants, walking EVERYWHERE, and of course riding the cable cars! Lets look at the weekend through some pics shall we?

This is my friend Leah's apartment.  She lives by herself in a studio down near the marina.  Look at how cute she decorated it? pinterest worthy right? Another cool part of SF, you can go on almost any roof! Just walk on up and hang out on the top, drink your morning tea, have lunch, read a book!
Photobucket
LOVED the steep hills through out the city!! I wonder how cars don't just roll backwards. 
Photobucket
The cable cars!! Childhood memories.... i think so! I can now cross it off my bucket list.

Grace Cathedral was an amazing site.  I also was falling in love with the personal style in SF.  Very casual yet so chic at the same time.

On Sunday morning we walked just a couple of blocks down to the Fort Mason Framers Market.  Leah buys all her foods all organic and fresh every week.  Check out the purple cauliflower!!

Oh, How Pinteresting!!!

I need to be entertained at all times.  It doesnt have to be much but I still need to be entertained. I work at a desk, with all cool sites blocked on my computer, which means I turn to my phone.  As I usually respond to emails, blog as much as I can, facebook stalk, and well of course pin on pinterest! Today,  I was struggling extra hard to be engaged in my work.  After a 3 day weekend the last thing I wanted to do was actually focus.  While my usual browsing on pinterest was occupying my time,  I began to CRACK UP at the pins today!! I mean I always find funny sayings and pictures, but today it went to a whole new level.  SO it was easy for my link up today with The Vintage Apple for  oh, how pinteresting!

seriously laughing out loud to myself in my desk at work! Hope you do too!

Bubbly Tuesday!

Happy Bubbly Tuesday!!!

two things I have been currently obsessing about: my new THEIT bag and the color teal! Ok lets break this down, 1.  THEIT! or as I like to refer to it as THE IT bag! duh! It has changed my life.  When going on my photo shoots, meeting clients, or just wanting to have my camera with me used to be such a hassle. I would either have two bags, my purse and my camera bag, or I would be shoving my phone, keys, wallet into my camera bag dropping everything left, right, and center.  OR I would be trying to smuggle my camera into my purse freaking out ever 5 minutes not wanting it to get scratched! Problem solved!! THEIT allowed to to travel with camera and purse in one, with no scratches, no freak outs, and no dropping of phones! 2. TEAL! It has been my favorite color of the season.  Teal fingernails, teal bracelets (pictures above), teal pants, teal cars (best picture of a teal car in SF,  cant wait to show you), teal sandals (also pictures above), teal paint! I love it so much I even made a teal creation board on pinterest HERE!! feel free to follow me! I have just been obsessing and cant seem to get enough.  So tell me, what color has you going crazy over?

San Francisco

Jacket: Forever21, Shorts: H&M, Shoes: Jessica Simpson

I LOVE to travel.  Even if it is not far from my home, seeing anything new is exciting for me. I have been to many different states, mostly for random reasons or to visit friends who have moved away.  I have gotten to see lots of different cultures inside the United States.  Who knew that each state can be so different from another?

Well I am back at it again this weekend.  I am heading up to San Francisco!!!! I am beyond excited.  A great friend from high school moved to San Fran after college and has been asking and asking forever for me to come visit.  There always seems to be a reason on why I couldn't make it.  Excuse after excuse.  Finally this winter we were having one of our lengthy catch-up sessions and this time we decided my trip was going to happen. Yayyy!! I have not heard anything but positive feedback and fun activities to do in the bay area.  The one aspect I am a little afraid of, the weather! Everyone has been saying to dress warm...yikes!! 

So, who's been to SF? give me some ideas on where to visit, eat,. shop.....

Cant wait to show you pictures next week!!!
