Flashback Friday

Today's flashback Friday is dedicated to all the fun work events I've been a part of throughout the summer until now. Let's not waste time with small talk - just start scrolling!

Our client, Mondrian LA, has wine dinners throughout the summer.

This particular dinner was hosted by Leblon.

The dinner started off with cocktails in the Penthouse suite.

This is the view looking down to the pool deck.

----------

Our client, Curve, was featured in the Los Angeles Business Journal.

When I showed up for the shoot, I had no idea that they'd have me be part of it.

----------

Road trip to San Diego for ComicCon!

(Clockwise) Summer intern Mary, Jennie, Kate & myself.

Quick photo op on the red carpet before the event began.

The entire Full Pic LA PR team plus a few extras.

Cade (in front), Jennie, myself, Michelle, Kate, Milan, Mary & Alex.

Those zombies were pretty convincing, but clearly I wasn't phased.

----------

Office manicures to celebrate our Project Runway Emmy nominations!

----------

On your birthday, Full Pic treats you (and the rest of the office) to a birthday treat of your choice. Everyone here really loves cake from Magnolia Bakery.

Let me tell you, it is to DIE FOR! If you're ever in LA, you must go there.

----------

We all wore sage green one day, so it warranted a photo.

Cade is a total goofball, as you can see here.

There's never a dull moment when he's in the office.

----------

My eyebrows have become a joke in the office ever since my loving, but critical co-worker Milan told me I need to grown them in more.

The solution? Put the Anastasia eyebrow kits to work!

Throw(way)back Thursday

As promised, another post with more updates from this past summer. In between the time spent with family and friends who came to visit, I was able to find some time for more random fun. Let's take a look (way) back:

Celebrating Independence Day with patriotic Svedka, obviously.

4th of July in Newport.

Newport Beach.

Cloudy Newport sunset. Still beautiful.

Still feeling festive on the 5th of July!

----------

True love <3

Manhattan Beach Creamery... delish!

Manhattan Beach Pier.

Fun dive bar in Manhattan Beach.

----------

Labor Day party at Gladstones in Malibu.

On the count of three, everyone look away from the camera!

Sammi and I at the end of a long Labor Day.

----------

Successful trip to the San Antonio winery.

Pool day at Anna and Morgan's apartment downtown.

----------

Being goofy on the eve of Syd's birthday.

----------

During the summer, Mondrian LA hosts Wednesday Twilight Swim.

Yes, you could swim if you really wanted to, and yes, some people really do jump in.

Syd and I sitting in the splash zone.

Yes, we got splashed.

----------

One of my favorite sunset pictures from this summer.

----------

This time I'm leaving you with a great quote my mom shared with me this summer:

"You're going to be unhappy on your journey,

until you realize your journey makes you happy."

Thanks for reading!

Fall Fun!

It's crazy to think that 2013 is coming to an end. What's even crazier is how many photos I have left to share from this past year. (Where on earth did the time go?) I most definitely will have to make a New Year's resolution to be better at these posts. Yikes!

This is a mixture of random photos from this past fall...

Sending Hannah a quick Snap Chat.

(She was with us last year for the ISU v. Iowa game.)

Go Cyclones!

Stu and I look like we're going to ISU formal or something...

ISU alumni cheering on the Cyclones in LA!

----------

Abbot Kinney Fest!

----------

Sunday afternoon football at The Parlor.

I'm from Iowa, yet my first time riding a bull is in LA. Hmm...

I think this was an 8 second ride :)

----------

I realize this photo stinks, but this was a highlight I wanted to share!

Went to a special screening of Don Jon at the Arclight in Hollywood, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt talked about the film afterwards. (I happen to be a big JGL fan.)

---------

Go Pack Go!

----------

Kate and I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for 5 weeks of 6am bootcamp...

...we later cursed our decision. We were up before the sun.

Although, it was a gorgeous way to start the day.

----------

Just a random photo of SUR - down the street from work.

Pink tree. Pink car. I'm in love.

----------

Jason Aldean & Jake Owen, here we come!

Pre-concert fun.

Love this girl.

----------

LA Kings at The Staples Center.

First hockey game ever. 

(I was a little distracted by Erin Andrews and David Beckham with precious little Harper.)

----------

In October, Kate, Julia and I went to the "We Can Survive" breast cancer charity concert.

Hosted by Katy Perry, Ellie Goulding, Sara Bareilles, Kacey Musgraves,

Tegan & Sara, and Bonnie McKee.

FINALLY got to see Ellie Goulding live!

One of my favorite artists.

"Baby you're a fiiiiirewooorrrrk!"

----------

Pre-Halloween sleepover.

(We had spray tans at the office that day, hence why we look so bronzed.)

Getting in the spirit for our least favorite holiday.

Sushi roll and beer maiden.

LA's version of a pumpkin patch.

It was a cute attempt, but I couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

(The pumpkins are pre-picked. Just not the same.)

We intended to carve these pumpkins, but all we got was this photo.

Better luck next year.

----------

As you know from the Victoria's Secret post, I was in NYC in November for the Fashion Show.

I also got to see a few friends while I was there, which was amazing!

Highlight of my trip - seeing Katie!

We LOVE gelato :)

Empire State Building on Veteran's Day.

Afternoon stroll around the Central Park Reservoir with Annie.

(I hadn't seen here since last December!)

Another highlight of the trip - meeting the people in NY that I work with every day!

Caitlyn and I are on several accounts together.

----------

Sadly, I wasn't able to make it home to Iowa for Thanksgiving.

However, I am fortunate enough to have a great friend who took me home for the weekend.

This Thanksgiving, and every day for that matter, I was thankful to have found a LA best friend, to have a family who loves me, and for my good health.

Yummy dinner at Mastro's in Newport.

I refer to Kate as "my other half" - I'd be lost without her.

Crazy to think I took this photo on December 1st!

----------

And finally, the most recent of these photos from this past weekend.

Technically it's not fall anymore. Oh well.

Watching the Iowa v. ISU game at The Parlor!

Celebrating another win! Go State!

----------

That's all for fall! Thanks for reading!
