Dear Summer: Love you, mean it!
Sunkissed
As the last day of Summer brings the season to a close, I want to reflect on some highlights during this time of year. I will try to keep this short and sweet. If you know me, you know that Summer is my favorite season for pretty obvious reasons. I am a Southern California girl so naturally, I love the heat. It’s all the more reason to head to the beach, attend pool/day parties and do more outdoorsy stuff like hiking (#hikelife). My summer included a few roadtrips, Vegas (because duh!), an international trip, a sleep-over with my nieces, a bridal shower, baby shower, and a beautiful wedding. I fullfilled my yearly obligation of “doing hoodrat things with my friends.” What a time!
Starting this blog was something I wanted to do for a long time so a few months after it was up and running, I got the opportunity to be featured on VoyageLA.com where many creatives like myself are highlighted in the Los Angeles community. Check baby out here! I’d have to say my summer was an exciting one and in the most cliche way, I’d say it was one for the record books! I know, I know… I had to! Much of my summer memories were created with some of my closest friends and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Vegas!
A few of bad beaches…
Bachelorette… Bridal Shower… Wedding!
Documenting memories are a part of life and pictures are the most common keepsake these days. An image of my most personal vacation was made a little bit more unique by using Case App to personalize my phone case and laptop. My old phone case has now been replaced with a custom picture taken outside of Oh Andros from my Bahamas vacation with “live out loud” quoted along the bottom. I’ve chosen to adopt that phrase and live my life everyday as loudly and as colorful as possible. (I’m living my best liiiiife!)
My laptop skin was a customized image of a yacht taken on Rose Island. I further customized the laptop skin with my blog/IG handle: lipstickcoco, because branding is everything. These images are not just any ole print job. The image is so detailed and crystal clear, no one would ever know it was taken with an iPhone. I am now an iphonographer so book me now before my rates go up! I love the image so much I want to get it printed on a canvas. I am completely blown away, so if you too, are trying to get like me, visit caseapp.com to design your custom phone case and laptop skin. Use code LIPSTICKCOCO20 at checkout for 20% off.
Without further adieu, farewell Summer! California never disappoints with the constant sunshine so I’m sure I’ll be aight! Catch you next year.
Love you, mean it!
