On the Border

August 9, 2016

Oh oh I’m out on the border, I’m walking the line

The best way to wear a classic rock tee? As a deep v, Brazilian cut one piece of course. Christian Cox, the brilliant designer behind the brand Mouth seriously makes the raddest rock clothing that’s incredibly sexy but remains rocker cool. My first design from Christian that I own is the Grateful Dead Steal Your Face one piece that I still get inquires from even two years after I posted it on Boho Bunnie! Probably one of the most coveted items on my blog. By itself or layered under some high-waisted flares, it’s a no brainier wardrobe staple. I love pairing white on white with an eagle pendant necklace and cuff from Boho Global. Frolicking on the grounds of Pappy and Hariett’s in Joshua Tree, we survived a true desert wind storm on our first shoot of our desert trip.Continue reading…

The Bowery Vault

East Nashville Rock Fashion

During my three week trip to the Midwest this month I made my way down to Nashville for my second visit to music city. Because of the music I play, I feel more and more drawn to this city so every chance I’m in the region I’m making it a point to visit. This trip I was fortunate enough to meet the owners of this rad little rock n roll boutique and listening room, The Bowery Vault, and shoot with a local Nashville photographer whose work I’ve been admiring for a while now. It’s not often that when I get to play dress up that I’m doing it with professional stylists. Most photo shoot prep consists of me turning my freshly organized bedroom into a monsoon aftermath of clothes and accessories. I had an absolute blast gettin a little edgy with the girls from The Bowery Vault in their mix of new and repurposed vintage stage wear. And what makes this place exceptionally cool is that it can be reserved for a private listening room in for small shows.Continue reading…

Desert Bunnie

Day one of my most recent trip to Joshua Tree started off with some strangely coincidental imagery and locations. Just outside of our breakfast joint, the largest jack rabbit mural literally smacked us in the face. I couldn’t possibly pass up a bunnie in front of a bunny! Making our way back down highway 62, we pulled over to take a look at a very unassuming hotel, the Joshua Tree Inn. Not knowing anything about its history, we learned that this was the actual location that Gram Parsons passed away after a rock star night of partying. Supposedly his spirit still haunts room 8 (which is booked out months in advance). Empty cowboy boots have been spotted walking away from his memorial outside of the room, and many Gram Parsons sightings have been reported. Despite the lure of the Gram’s spirit, the Joshua Tree Inn is a perfect little getaway with an oasis-like pool calling your name on a hot desert day.Continue reading…

Peaceful Easy Feeling

July 11, 2016

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay against your skin so brown.

Desert days calls for bright pastels and western patterns. Thank god it was one of those days in the desert that it was still slightly bearable to be outside in the intense sun. After a night out in Joshua Tree the evening before at none other than the Joshua Tree Saloon, we reconnected with one of the very generous and entertaining locals to shoot on site at his property with his vintage car and trailer collection. We literally felt like we hit the jackpot of photo shoot locations…pink stucco walls, a vintage Corvair and two vintage Shasta trailers! One of which we have plans to rent for our Marfa, Texas road trip. Layers of beaded jewels by Boho Global with a desert-style Canadian tuxedo I feel is my new uniform for these trips out west.

Happy 4th y’all!

The Wild West, cowboy hats & Bruce Springsteen…can you get much more patriotic than that? Currently I’m spending my 4th at a music festival performing and teaching in Ohio with plans for Nashville next week. Most of my traveling involves music and last Fourth of July was no exception with the Grateful Dead Fare Thee Well shows. If I’m not making music or attending a show, my heart truly belongs in the desert. From my dozens of road trips to Vegas I’ve fallen in love with the open road, desert highways and solo drives with my favorite tunes. Nothing like a break from Los Angeles traffic jams that literally take years off of your life, to drive into vast open space. Don’t get me wrong, I do love LA, but my new found love for Joshua Tree will pull me from the city as much as humanly possible. My favorite western road trip threads? Pink Arrows Boutique vintage tees and comfy cut offs for days.

Lady of the Lake

July 2, 2016

There’s a magical sound slidin’ over the ground

It’s only fitting that I’m as I’m writing this post with serene images of Crestline Lake that I’m headed to Ohio for a few weeks, and northern Ohio in particular where I spent part of my summers on Lake Erie. Visiting this almost Midwest-like California town for the first time was magical. It completely took me back to my dad’s cottage on the river in Ohio and my aunt’s lake house in Michigan. Such an escape from LA traffic, drought dried grass and hazy skies. I could have stayed a whole week in this humble little town with places to sit and daydream for days. Packing the these rad mountain threads from Femmebot Clothing for this trip couldn’t have been a better decision. Easy, breezy western bohemian pieces that travel so well.Continue reading…

Mai Tais and Mermaids

Maui Sunsets

It’s been about a month since my trip to Maui and I’m finally getting a chance to share the second round of photos by local photographer Danielle Nowicki. Forgetting that not every place is sunny without at a chance of rain like 99% of the time in LA, I completely lucked out with the Hawaiian weather for this shoot. Since Hawaiian rains that just come and go at the drop of a hat, I couldn’t have imagined a better evening for a Maui sunset on Po’Olenalena Beach. A low tide with knee high waves and a partly cloudy sky that the sun just peaked through. Just enough light to catch the sparkle of the golden threads in this Pachamama Bohemian crochet one piece. And the Mai Tais? I definitely had my fair share over the course of the five days, answering most of my emails under the influence, but hey, when in Maui…Continue reading…

Dirty Laundry

June 13, 2016

Dirty little secrets, Dirty little lies

It’s actually one of those mornings that I have at least 5 loads of laundry sitting on my bedroom floor. And if you’re anything like me, I air dry at least 75% of my laundry so that means my bedroom currently looks like an open air market in Instanbul with bohemian threads draping from every knob, hook and rod that can hold a hanger. It was last month that I stumbled across this sweet little laundromat in Crestline, California with my photographer. Not one counter had been changed since the 70’s (possibly a handful of dryers as well) and it even came equipped with a local resident that didn’t look up once from his newspaper despite my twirling obnoxiously around in a wheeled laundry basket. Wearing a dress from Femmebot Clothing I could literally live in, I pranced around this little pastel paradise without any actual laundry obligation and only doing activities my 10 year old self would be stoked to do.Continue reading…

My Sweet Lord

June 10, 2016

Really want to show you Lord, That it won’t take long

It’s been a second since I’ve shared some music related posts on my blog. I’ve vowed this year to start doing more videos of me performing, and here’s the first of many more to come by my new little trio, B Western! I’ve gone deep down the country music path since I started learning this pedal steel guitar three years ago. It’s really interesting how all forms of art and fashion are so intertwined together. My personal fashion style has been taking a shift towards more western bohemian style basically because I’ve been immersing myself in all forms of country music. Bro country (not really a fan, but I’ve learned and performed quite a library of that), mainstream country, western swing, classic country, and of course California country/rock which includes one of my faves the Flying Burrito Brothers. The more I dig into learning pedal steel, the more music I discover and the more it influences what I wear everyday. I’ve been obsessing over chain stitching embroidery, vintage western items, and anything that you may have seen a country western star wear from the 50’s to the 70’s. Now if I could only have a closet filled with Rockin B Clothing for every country performance I do! I’ve been obsessively sharing her line all over my insta and I’m excited to share the first full length feature on my blog of just one of her incredible designs!
