Who else was happy that it rained in LA this weekend and drove up to the mountains to see and feel it all with their dog? Just me? Oh okay.
Olive was a good sport even though she got carsick and I had to pay her back for enduring the long trip with me with onion rings and belly rubs.
This week marks WEEK 3 at the new job. I love working for Urban Outfitters! Getting to float around the shop and talk to different people all the time is something that really works for me. I've gotten to greet, work up in mens for a bit and the fitting room. I've taken a likeness to the fitting room at my home store in Pasadena. I got a longer shift this week and was super pumped. The more time I spend there, getting to know the staff and the usual customers that pop in to dress up and browse the good UO finds, make me feel more comfortable at my new workplace.
After the Monday closing shift and a day of drawing, I got to accompany my dad the next day, to a straight up beautiful new venue in Hidden Valley out by Sherwood Lake. Epona Estate and it's 40 acres is nestled on the west end of LA and falls in between the border of Ventura and Los Angeles county. The venue was being shown off to designers, wedding planners and event people in SoCal. The mountains that linger above the valley and just barely poke through the clouds made me miss the big mountains in Denver and one 14ER that a friend helped me climb (It was the only 14,000 ft mountain I have and plan on climbing but you never know...).

I spent the evening sipping on various cocktails and admiring pieces from my fathers company that were perfectly placed in one section of the venue. Our glam teepee (which has been rented out so much this summer) kinda stole the show though. It didn't hurt that two super cute bartenders were mixing up yummy cocktails underneath it too.

I spent most of Wednesday drawing and watching various Bravo Shows (Million Dollar Listing SF is super hot right now. Thanks again Andy Cohen). In between browsing for 2nd jobs I worked on illustrating one of my favorite quotes that comes to mind whenever someone second guesses my dreams.
"IF YOU BELIEVE IN IT AND IT MAKES YOU HAPPY, NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR IT"
Here are some shots of the work in progress from my IG...
I rounded out the day not getting Taco Bell but a nice little taco place n town, watching 7 DAYS IN HELL and doodling some more during a Key & Peele marathon.

ALSO, I've been thinking about it more. The BIG IT. The answer to what "I wanna be when I grow up" and I think I wanna do something with design. I think I'd be good at being a stylist :)
