Paws down my favorite photoshoot experience to date. My husband and I are hard-core dog lovers. Personally, I've always had a soft spot for 'shelter dogs' after growing up with my family's beloved rescue lab mix, but my husband was not as familiar with the heart of a rescue, until he met our Max. We currently have two dogs. I like to think that we rescued Bruiser first, but truth be told, we actually paid a woman in Miami $250 to take him off her hands, after learning they were unable to keep a four-month-old Bull Terrier pup in their rental apartment. We had Bruiser for four years before we decided that he needed a friend his own size. Max, the...
I could have never imagined that a house could feel like a home without a kitchen or indoor shower, but Jess and Cameron have created just that. Their custom garage holds all of the toys you could dream of. Four motorcycles, a '69 (wink wink) Dodge truck, a vintage Volkswagen bug, a Tito's cooler turned electric scooter and enough skateboards for Jess and Cam to ride a different one each day of the week. An enormous work bench sits in the middle of the garage, just waiting for a new DIY project. I spy bad ass red and turquoise cabinets that we later discovered will be the newest pieces of handmade furniture for a local joint opening up in...
When Living Fresh first reached out to us, we were a little reserved. We've turned down so many collaborations in the past, mostly because Hubs & Hers has always been just the hub & I. Our main priority has always been to keep things authentic and the idea of incorporating outside influences felt daunting. However, after our first night's sleep on our Living Fresh sheets, we couldn't resist a meeting and after a ride down their extreme indoor office slide, we were sold. A random tuk tuk parked in the middle of open concept cubicles and rooms dedicated solely to mediation, yoga and ping-pong upstairs. Add it to our list of goals: an office space as bad ass as Living...
I've been dying to pair our vintage denim jackets with wedding dresses. I hope somewhere out there, one our jackets has found the perfect bride-to-be, scheming the dreamiest photoshoot with their babe. Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue jean? It was a must for me to incorporate a little white dress, that I once wore to Mr Farina and I's intimate backyard reception, into this shoot. I loved the dress when I wore it then and I fell in love all over again when Bobbie threw it on. She stood their looking like a modern day Marilyn Monroe. She turned her back to me and revealed an unzipped zipper. I pulled up on the zipper, but it didn't...
One of the things I have enjoyed most about Hubs & Hers is writing this Local Lovers blog. It has given my partner and I the opportunity to meet some remarkable duos and the platform to share their love stories. Carri and Teddy are one of those couples. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when Carri reached out to us. Her beauty was obvious, but she really hit home when she began to reminisce about details of meeting Teddy at work. Nostalgia struck me, as fond memories of crushing on my then-boss, now-husband danced around in my head. HOW HE ASKED HER TO MOVE IN. Like most of us, these two were unable to avoid frequent slumber...
