Pantone #286

Lately I am loving Corona commerials.  Sure they have been around for years and they haven't really changed all that much.  But with all the craziness that surrounds moving into a new apartment, I have found a couple of seconds of bliss staring at the Pantone #286 torquoise sky that is a trademark of Corona.  Not only do they taste good on a summers day, but they also conjure up blissful memories of my favorite thing in the whole world, vacation.  OK technically, Mike Ofeldt is my favorite thing in the whole world but vacation is a distant second.These pictures take me back to the blue skies I found in San Diego, La Jolla, an island in Fiji, and Cadaques in Spain.

So now that June Gloom is behind us, Cheers to blue skies!   xoxo Suzanne

WEDNESDAY WITH KATIE G

I am so lucky to have met Katie Gordon through SheWanders Photography.  Not only does she have vibrant energy and a stunning smile, but a true talent for taking pictures. She's been working on some awesome blog posts lately. I asked Katie a couple of questions the other day so our readers could get to know her a little better.... xoxo Jessicakatie gordon, katie gordon photography, shewanders photographers, san diego wedding blogs

J: Tell me about your dream job.

K: I would love to be a fashion photographer. I love art and believe that fashion is a form of art people can wear!

J:What's the last CD you purchased?

K: haha this is a little bit embarrassing but Femme Fatale by Brittany Spears.

J: If you could be anywhere in the world at this point in time, where would you be?

K:  This is a tough one. I love to travel and there are about a million places I'd love to be right now. Yesterday I went to el camino for taco tuesday and it made me realize I would love to be lying on the beach sipping coconut water from a real coconut is sayuita, Mexico.

J: What are you most grateful for?

K: My family and friends and the opportunities I have been blessed with.

J: If you could have a super power, what would it be?

K: To make people happy. Everybody deserves to be happy.

J: Where did your fascination with photography stem from?

K:  My black and white film class. There was something magical about placing a blank piece of paper into the chemicals and watching your image appear.

J: What's one of your favorite spots in San Diego?

K: Again, a tough question. I love to Explore and find great New restaurants as well as places to hike or beach it up. After working at shewanders photography studio located in mission hills, my new found love has become mission hills because there are a bunch of great restaurants as well as bars!
