Pachuco Style

I spent most of the rainy day weekend editing

But during a midday break I left the house to get some fresh air

Dropped off some books at the library 

and picked up some new ones

It's like a treasure hunt for me

when finding new reading material

And this time I found a nice little gem

I was digging thru the stacks and one book, small and buried,

stuck out: 

Vatos

A photography/poetry book

I flipped it open and my eyes landed on thick, black eyeliner - 

chola style

Yes! 

I brought it home

I loved the pictures in the book (photography by Jose Galvez)

Some of the pics were taken in Tucson, AZ 

at about the time I was 17 or 18 yrs old 

I can relate to a lot of the images

I don't really like poetry but with lines like:

"All the vatos - loving their menudo"

I couldn't help liking the poem in the book (Luis Alberto Urrea)

Not sure how it is that I had never heard of this

book, but I'm glad I found it.

DAG Fashions

Grand Opening!

This post is a little late.

Okay, maybe a lot late - holiday photo sessions took 

up so much of my time! But I couldn't go without sharing these pics 

from the Grand Opening of DAG Fashions 

at Dana Park in Gilbert. 

It was a blast and I was so happy to be part 

of it all, especially since I was able to 

shop while I was there!

With such cute clothes & styles.. 

no complaining here :) 

Tina, Aide & the crew

Inside the store

I got one of these scarves and I'm so in love with it!

The inspirations for DAG

Refreshments! DAG cookies made by the awesome Cakeuphoria

The official Grand Opening model - Adrianna. She won the model search and did awesome modeling the DAG styles - so cute! 

Seriously.. adorable!

So pretty!

Annnnd... I am looking forward to partnering up 

with Tina and Aide once again!

Prom season is coming!!

Family Session - Sweetness!

Aw, nothing sweeter than a beautiful family!

Especially one with a gorgeous big sis 

and little cowboy brother :)

Thank you so much, Donella & Eric!

Family session - Blood & Bond

Some families

are made up of different fragments

all from unique places & spaces

but like a wonderful little puzzle

with pieces that fit together perfectly :)

Sweet sisters
