Coffee Dates + House of Harlow 1960 GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone and welcome back to Monday! For today's post, I'm sharing this fun Paris theme photo shoot I did with local photographer and the creative soul behind Juliet Peel Photography. Juliet is also based in Orange County and she came up with the "cafe in Paris" idea which worked perfectly against Old Towne Orange's vintage setting (yup, sorry to spill the beans but we did not fly to Paris for this - I wish!). Of course, the photo shoot quickly turned into a coffee date and we got to chat and learn more about each other. The best kinds of photo shoots are the ones where you get to share lots of laughs and creativity together and this was it! Can't wait to share with you all the fun looks we did so stay tuned for more. And don't forget to scroll down to enter my House of Harlow 1960 necklace giveaway with Glamboutique! One lucky winner will win a House of Harlow 1960 gold desert oasis choker (valued at $52 HERE). See Rafflecopter widget below for details. 

What are some of your favorite cafes? I'm not much of a coffee drinker - more of a tea girl myself - but when I do drink coffee, I usually opt for a latte. And this one has little bits of cocoa powder on it which gave it is a nice subtle taste of chocolate. Yums!

{FASHION TIP: There's no such thing as too much gold so pile on to your heart's desire.}
