Mai Tais and Mermaids

June 22, 2016

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!

The Streets of Montreal

June 6, 2016

Montreal was the last stop of my world travels that began in March. I’m so fortunate that my music career has allowed me the opportunity to see the world! Although I just performed one night in Montreal, I flew in a day early to see the city and meet with a local Montreal photographer for a proper shoot in the city. I had absolutely no idea how Parisian this city is! The people, the food, the cafes, shops, all took me back to my trip to Paris over ten years ago. My high school French classes started to kick in and I drank at least three soy cappuccinos each day, all from different cafes. Oh, and the sangria. How about a pitcher of that every evening?! The perfect blush colored maxi slip from Free People made me feel like a 40’s starlet in a French romance film as I walked the cobblestone streets of this beautiful city.Continue reading…

My Baby Blue

June 3, 2016

The special love I had for you, my baby blue.

That special love I have this season is definitely for anything maxi. I couldn’t be happier just literally throwing on a gorgeous Hale Bob halter dress and walking out the door with a complete look. The prints this season that Hale Bob is producing are absolutely stunning and really only require a few simple and classy pieces to accessorize. I have to admit, I’ve driven by the Hale Bob billboard in West Hollywood for YEARS lusting over every new editorial they showcase and it’s such a wonderful feeling to be able to own a piece from their line.

Po’olenalena Beach

Aloha from Maui

It’s been a crazy 12 weeks of traveling! I keep looking back at my calendar and can’t believe all of the amazing places I’ve been able to travel to this year. Most of which have been my first visit! Hawaii is one of those firsts for me. I had the wonderful opportunity to perform on the island for an extravagant Indian wedding AND have some downtime to relax. I even had time send out emails and write blog posts from an ocean front patio (with a little help from homemade rum runners) and of course play in front of the camera with a wonderful local Maui photographer. All while wearing a dress that couldn’t be more fitting for the islands by Pachamama Bohemian & the ultimate beach slide-ons from the Avarca Store. This outfit was seriously my uniform for the week. Bugenvilas, enchanting banyan trees and of course the serene beaches of the islands are so picturesque for everything Maui, and I’m grateful I got to capture the beauty of the islands for my blog!Continue reading…

Free People Escapes

Free People Escapes with Yogascapes

Tucked away in the middle of California desert highways is a beautiful little escape that brings me back to my summers growing up in northern Ohio and Michigan. I can’t get over that this type of natural greenery exists just 90 minutes outside of Los Angeles. Trying to convey a Berkshires, Massachusetts vibe, I couldn’t think of a better location to shoot my collaboration with Free People. Lake Gregory, near Big Bear, is such a sweet little mountain town with lots of character and a midwest way of living. After a full day of shooting in the most stunning natural locations (and even an adorable little laundry mat) I even got down on some fantastic vegan Mexican food! Next trip to Big Bear definitely requires an eclectic little cabin rental!Continue reading…

29 Palms

May 21, 2016

Desert livin.

Maybe it’s because I’m from Ohio and expect to see flat roads lined with corn fields whenever I take a road trip that I am so enamored with any type of desert life. This was my first trip to Joshua Tree and 29 Palms and looking out the car window, I must have commented on at least 50 rad locations that I could stop for a photo shoot. Faded pastel colors, vintage desert art, small abandoned homes sitting in the middle of nowhere, I can’t get enough. We opted for this amazingly cute air bnb in 29 Palms which is why I ended up venturing to the 29 Palms Inn. Great vegan options in the middle of the desert btw! Just the week before I left I serendipitously met the owner and designer of Tejido Shop mailing this exact jumpsuit at the post office. Of course it caught my eye and I wanted to be wearing it that second! I was able to take this rad jumpsuit with me to the desert and I honestly can’t wait to own this piece in a handful of colors.Continue reading…

NOLA Jazz & Heritage Festival 2016

NOLA 2016

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has to be my favorite music festival by far. Just the fact that it’s in New Orleans makes this festival ten times better than any other festival out there. That’s right, Coachella, NOLA has you beat. There’s the major headliners and tons of acts to catch throughout the day but the real action happens after hours where music packs every single club in the French Quarter. Over the course of two days I documented my adventures through NOLA for the Radisson Red Instagram account. A little sight-seeing, vegan grub, a tarot card reading and of course music!Continue reading…
