Baby, I've got the blues

Finally! An outfit post! lol I was in the mood for some photos and decided hmmm why not snap a few shots for my blog. Very "Cray Cray" (yes, i say corny stuff like that lol) Wednesday to say the least but that's the story of my life, always running around never any time to relax. I did, however, sneak in a nap outside meanwhile a mosquito discovered my bare arms and had a feild day! Arrrghh! What do you all think of the electric blue?

Bday Post

Happy Birthday to meeeeeee!!! On March 20th I celebrated my 23rd
birthday. I had so much fun but my allergies were kicking my butt!
Bummer! I spent it by working (sucked) but my boyfriend made it better
by taking me out to dinner and I had to do a little shopping too. Come
on it’s the first day of spring! Haha Here are some pics of my day!

.

Funny thing is I received about 200 dollars in Starbucks giftcards.
Can you say winning??? Ah the my family knows me so well. I think I’m down
to only 50 dollars left on them. (Please no judging :p)
I wore a 21 linen blazer & black dress also tan pumps I found in a
thrift store (never worn) for 5 dollars. Cowabunga! Sorry for the lack of pictures my boyfriend left the camera home.



If your birthday is in March Happy Birthday to you as well!

Chai Tea Vintage

Hey you guys!!!!!!!

I've been M.I.A all September, I know I suck! lol I've been eating potatoes drinking coffee, measuring clothes, buying vintage, shooting models, u know the regular… I'm in the process of re-launching my site and I am more than excited to show you guys the new layout. It was suppose to launch on 9-29 however, transferring domains was not an easy process. Although it says it’s a piece of cake it really wasn’t. Anyhow, it’s coming along and soooo much better than my last one. Also, the store has a new look as well. Oh goody!! This week it will definitely be up. I know I am always hyper for these types of things.

In other news it's October and my 1 yr anniversary with my "life partner" Sammy is coming up OMG!!!!!!!! Even more explanation points and smiley faces. This is what true love looks like to me :) :) :) :) :) :) :) YAY!!!!!!!!!!! <<<< Yes, I’m there borderline crazy gal. lol

SEPTEMBER FEVER!!

Hey Guys!! The past 5 days have been FANTASTIC! I've managed to come across some cool vtg finds and work with pretty amazing people. On Saturday, Ricky and I had a shoot with beautiful model AMBER NEALON. She was so pleasant and very sweet. We had an awesome time shooting. Here are a few pics from amber's shoot. The rest of them will premiere on my store's new site September 29th! Mark your calenders guys! I am also doing a facebook sale from september 17th thru 29th on my CHAITEAVINTAGE like page. Please check it out!

Yesterday we had the pleasure of working with (THE DREAM TEAM) as I like to call them. Three beautiful and extremely talented and creative females. Fab make up artist KOKO GUERRA , fab stylist KIA DENISE and fab hair stylist DOMINIQUE NICOLE , When I tell you these girls play no games I'm soo serious. Please take some time out to check out their work. Some people ask why I chose another stylist to work on this shoot and I say why not? I love meeting new people and working with creative minds and I thought kia would be perfect for the job and I also wanted to meet the trio and watch them work. Here are a few pics from that shoot which will also be featured on my new site.

I would like to thank everyone whom I worked with this weekend! You guys are phenomenal and I'm so happy the way the way the photographs turned out. Especially my hubbs Sammy! You are the best boyfriend in the world. No man could ever amount to you in a trillion years. Special shoutout to Models: Salena & Tracy for ROCKING the shoot yesterday!!! Chileeeeeeee!! Until next time! Love you 2 pieces ♥ Cali

After The Storm

G'day mate!

Here are a few photos taken Sunday after the tropical storm cleared out and our power restored. The winds were still pretty strong on Sunday but it couldn't stop the dynamic duo of Cali & Sammy lol. Whilst the rest of the city stayed in, we decided to go out and snap a few shots and enjoy the beautiful day. We had so much fun. I decided to wear a shirt I found thrifting a few weeks ago. It's a size 16 but I thought turning it into a dress would be cool. What do u guys think? I paired it with a tan linen blazer and a black belt and tan heels.

A Sunny Sun Day

Ello earthlings! hahaha... This is my "Sunny Sunday look" lol. This past weekend was full of craziness and super exciting events. Idk why I'm starting with Sunday and not Friday. (Friiday,Friiday gotta get down on Friiday) oops! I'm seriously in such a jolly good mood. I love the summer so I tend to have outbursts like every hour. Get it? No? Good! :) jk No, today is a special day for Sammy and I and I'm just overwhelmed with joy....

Back to my post... Sunday, was a huge day for Sammy. He was one of the videographers at the Super Jam 2 concert in New Jersey. He got to meet someone whom has inspired us so much as future entrepreneurs. No other than "Sean Diddy Combs" How fuggin awesome is that? I am super jealous but at the same time so happy for Sammy, I know that opportunity will open sooo many doors for him and I'm right by his side cheering him on. (I'm his #1 fan) shhhh! ;) This is what I wore to drop him off... Blahh Blahh I wish I was there but I had a few things I had to get done for CTV. Sadly, because of my poor time management (I know I'm working on it) we could only snap 4 shots before we headed out and I only liked 2.... Bummer!

I hope you all enjoyed your beautiful weekend.

A H.O.T Cali Tale

Hiya!!! I've received a few emails from readers wondering if Sammy, was indeed a photographer. To answer the F.A.Q lol He is not a photographer, he takes photos for my blog as a favor and as a Grrrreat boyfriend. Sammy is a videographer/director as well as an actor. Although he takes awesome photos, film is what his heart desires. I admire my boyfriend so much. From his work ethic to his creativity down to the way he supports me 1,000,000% He is such a good person and I am so proud and truly blessed to have a man as good as him. I've never met a person so driven and so focused. He is a go-getter and he's not allowing anything come between fulfilling his dream. I commend him for being that young and motivated. Sammy is in the process of starting his own production company called THE HOUSE OF TARANTINO. He's doing an extraordinary job building an empire as I like to call it. I know he will go far because he has the passion and he's on the right track!

I wish I could of set up a Q & A video for you guys so you can get to know him and myself. Matter of fact, I shall do that later on this week. That would be pretty cool! So be on the look out for that. With that being said now you know a little about my dearest sammy lol. I would like all of you to check out a few of his videos on his site and if you are interested shoot him a email. Sammy's contact information is on his site!!! Link below!
