Moondance

February 5, 2016

And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush.

It’s a marvelous night for just about anything with your own gypsy lair. For the past few months I’ve had this vision of recreating the Bergdorf Goodman NYC holiday window, only with a few less swarovski crystals. I’ve done quite a few gypsy inspired posts but none where I completely created the set down to the last drip of wax. A couple trips to the flea market, a few key items from Trippy Store, and some luscious jewels from Tracey Filapose set the mood for this magical evening.Continue reading…

Get it While You Can

January 29, 2016

Don’t you turn your back on love

It was one of those Sundays at the Melrose Trading Post that I literally came looking for one item and left with way more than I should have. Scouring the racks for a simple vintage black gypsy dress, this gem of a cape caught my eye and I instantly knew I wasn’t leaving the lot without it. Psychedelic velour flowers that should be on the raddest couch of all time but made into a brass-buttoned cape for me to wear? Heaven. I had no luck bargaining the seller down (I walked back THREE times with a different offer) but caved anyway. Before I even had a chance to dry clean the vintageness outta it, I brought it down to Long Beach to meet up with my girl Ashley Myers to do an impromptu shoot after a few early afternoon beers.

Beyond the Sea

January 22, 2016

Somewhere beyond the sea, Somewhere waiting for me…

It’s the dead of January eight years after I moved to LA and I still don’t take for granted that there will never be an ice scraper in my car ever again. I take pride in the fact that I don’t own a winter coat, and that this entire month I have walked to my yoga class in flip flops. LA winter is far from my Jamaican spring breaks but the fact that I can brave the beaches of Malibu in a bikini is pretty amazing. It’s a far cry from summer surf, but it is summer somewhere. And that somewhere happens to be Australia, home of MGRA swim wear designer, Mitch Gobel.Continue reading…

Dreams

January 14, 2016

Like a heartbeat, drives you mad…

Where would bohemian fashion be without it’s all time favorite muse, Stevie Nicks? The rock goddess herself created an iconic look that has proven timeless. Fleetwood Mac’s music has always been special to me. I can’t tell you how many times Rumors has been on at least a 5x repeat in one sitting. Strong women in rock is so inspiring and I can only dream that one day my music and style leave a lasting impression even a quarter that of Stevie Nicks. Until then I’ll be channeling my inner Stevie with a Violet Vixen corset.Continue reading…

Desert Chakra

January 8, 2016

Morning asanas.

Wouldn’t this just be the life, waking up and strolling through the desert to perch barefoot on a warm, sun kissed rock and practice daily meditation? One of these days I’ll break out of my 4am-10am sleeping habits and get my mornings started off right. Yoga has been such a meaningful activity for me. When I first moved to LA I became slightly obsessed with it and took Bikram yoga classes 5-6 days a week! I was scraping by and putting only $10 at a time into my gas tank but sure as hell finding a way to pay for my yoga classes. That extreme dedication paid off; even when I’m traveling or insanely busy with work, for the most part my body knows exactly where it left off last class. As much intention that I put into my yoga practice, it’s only fitting to pair my practice with handmade creations by beautiful artists Mal Wingostarr & Shannon Noelke. What’s in store for the new year? While I can’t make it back to my daily routine quite yet, I am now living within walking distance of my original yoga studio! Amazing how some things come full circle.Continue reading…

Celebration Day

December 31, 2015

We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.

It’s officially the last day of 2015 as I write this. Crazy ups, crazy downs and some major life changing events pretty much sum up the past year for me. I’m super stoked for the year to come with some amazing plans for the blog including the launch of my clothing line, fragrance and other goodies, even a road trip to Marfa, Texas! Music wise there are some incredible things in action that I’m excited to see come to life. 2016 in many ways is a new beginning to me, more so than any other year. I’m ready to kick some ass and make all of my crazy dreams a reality. And I’ll be doing it all In style, pouring champagne down my neck of course. Sometimes the best things come completely unplanned like my late night drunken Vegas shoot with the endless talent Ashley Myers. Not sure what to expect, we headed to Vegas’s staple souvenir shop to have cars literally clear the parking lot so I could douse myself in champagne. Wearing my fave vintage faux fur flea market find, a slip that probably didn’t cover my booty and some shit kickers, the only thing harmed in the making of this shoot was my weave. Champagne and hair extensions aren’t the best pairing.Continue reading…

Go for Bronze

December 29, 2015

Sunset worthy shades not just for the beach.

Bronzed lids and warm skin hues are one of 2016’s biggest trends. What I love about this look is that it’s super simple to accomplish and you’ll always have a fresh vacation glow that looks good with anything. Even on the coldest winter day in the middle of Ohio in front of a log cabin, a little extra glow is good for everyone. Eco Tools has an amazing array of brushes (even the cutest little travel ones too) for creating all of 2016’s beauty trends. Continue reading…

Paint it Black

December 27, 2015

I wanna see it painted.

Thigh highs, booties & mini dresses. If I could pick one staple combination to live in the rest of the season this would be it. And I’m kinda obsessing over everything that has a little western edge to it, something I could imagine Linda Ronstadt or Emmylou Harris rocking on stage. Light colored shoes with black opaque tights have found a new place in my heart, it really makes any shoe seasonless. Perfect for a down town Las Vegas stroll.Continue reading…

Liberty Garden

December 20, 2015

All cozied up in everything faux.

I’ve become such a cold weather wimp. Growing up in wind chill temperatures that would shut down a school district, you think I could brave the California winter that dips just below 40 degrees. Not one bit. I wrap myself in my ginormous comforter every faux fur throw that I own until the last minute that I run into the scalding hot shower. I can’t imagine a cozier and cuter faux fur sweater and faux suede pants that gets me through the cool Cali holiday weather and festivities. If you’re aren’t hip to Liberty Garden, literally EVERYTHING in their line is to die for. An awesome mix of 70’s retro, with a little western glam. And if you wanna feel all done up but in the comfort level of never leaving your morning covers, you’ve gotta snatch this outfit up!

The scallop laser cut detailing with the studs on these vegan suede leggings is luscious. And this ring…another masterpiece from Flea Market Girl.Continue reading…
