A couple of weeks ago, I showed you my visit to the dahlia farm for the Farm to Table shoot I did. This week, we’re visiting Root’s Farm in Santa Ynez Valley. Ashley from Duo referred me, as they get a huge chunk of their produce directly from this farmer. Root’s Farm sells locally at the Farmer’s market and they seriously have these BEST tomatoes. I’m obsessed with their heirloom cherry tomatoes.
So obsessed in fact, I got permission from the farmer and I shot the tomatoes growing on the vine. Little pieces of veggie candy, every one!
Roots Farm also grows corn in one of the prettiest little valleys in Santa Ynez.
Next to the corn, a field of beans….
And a little product shots of the beans. All of these ingredients were used in the dinner catered by Duo Events and I will be posting that next week!

And introducing another new column, “Well Said.” I’ll be picking some of my favorite quotes and sharing them here. And this week we’re starting with a man that most people right off just as a gangster rapper (when I think poet is much more accurate). And I have to agree with Pac here, don’t you? The man has a point. Have a good Father’s Day weekend everyone!

As an art history major at UCSB I spent a lot of time looking at works of art like this and I’ve missed spending time with such great art. So today, I’m introducing a new column “Artsy Fartsy” and I’ll be sharing some of my favorite pieces of art and a little bit about what I think of them. Today I’m featuring one of my favorite artists of the Renaissance, Bottecelli. Most every knows his Venus, but I think this portrait of Pallas is perhaps even more beautiful.
She represents calm, beauty, virtue whereas the centaur is wild and overwrought. And she is simply reaching out to, soothing him, and teaching him to be peaceful like her. I’m particularly in love with her face, the delicate translucency of her dress, and her laurel wreath headdress, so delicate and beautiful.

I don’t know about you, but I am so happy for the long sunny days, endless excuses for margarita parties, and the opportunity to turn up the volume, and wear lots of color. I’m in love with this happy print dress by Modcloth, the most perfect summer sandals by Trina Turk, simple aqua necklace and hoops by Anthro, and of course this effortless chic and neutral beach tote by Jack Spade.
