Say You Love Me

October 20, 2014

When the lovin starts and the lights go down…

It’s been a lazy Sunday. One of those days where I don’t leave home, lounge in my favorite sweater and listen to Fleetwood Mac. Looking through these photos with my mom’s vintage leather vest from the 70’s makes me want to jump back in time to see a young Stevie Nicks twirl on stage singing Rhiannon. Lace flares, cropped florals and a wide brim hats lets me at least pretend I was a 70’s child. These simple jewels from Amy Friend add the perfect touch to this easy boho rocker look. Her designs have just the right balance of statement and classic. I absolutely love the delicate oxidized metals that she uses!

Western Wanderlust

October 16, 2014

Red Rocks & Gypsy Musings.

I’m always amazed at what is beyond the strip in Las Vegas. When I perform for weeks at a time in this city of neons and sin I always forget that just outside the casino walls are majestic stretches of red rocks and joshua trees. If I lived here full time I would get lost in the peaks and valleys of this western wilderness. Looking at these photos just gives me more incentive to spend a month in a retro RV, making a photo journal of my western nomadic adventures.Continue reading…

Drivin’ That Train

October 10, 2014

Casey Jones you better watch your speed.

I totally feel like I just raided my mom’s closet in the 70’s. Oversized glasses and high waisted bells and skirts grace a majority of her photos from her twenties. So it’s only fitting that most of this ensemble is truly vintage. The most amazing cropped magenta sweater from Sadie Deluxe Vintage, vintage wooden bangles and one of my favorite scores from the Aspen Goodwill…a hand-beaded “St. John of Aspen” belt. High-waisted bells are getting more wear than anything else in my closet this season and I can’t think of a more perfect bag to rock with this outfit, a Wayuu Mochilla bag from The Buena Onda.Continue reading…

Yarn, Spice & Everything Nice

October 7, 2014

Pumpkin spiced flower power.

Nothing tastes more like fall than a pumpkin spice latte. Seriously. I used to live off of this decadent drink in college at 7 am before classes, after I finished my bartending shift at 4 am. Thankfully there’s no more bartending, but unthankfully no more pumpkin spice lattes. (Please start making vegan pumpkin spice, Starbucks!!) I’ve found my substitutions…bougie elixirs from Whole Foods or my new favorite Brazil nut-date-kale-spinach-romaine-sea salt-vanilla bean from Cold Pressed Juicery. My past midwest self would be making fun of my current LA self for my $10 self-indulgent, unnecessary but oh-so-amazing juice-gasms. But honestly nothing comes close to that spicy clove, nutmeg, cinnamon pumpkin coffee that reminds me of my favorite fall months in college. These amazing and absolutely adorable pumpkin spice colored boot skirts, crafted by the talented artist of Blue Jeans and Roses, pay homage to my forgotten flavors of autumn.

Bells & boots.

Tunics, bells, boots, belts…all you need for fall in California. I can’t get enough of printed bells and this killer print comes from the online bohemian boutique, Of A Muse. Everything in their shop is fit for a muse, and if you’re not, it just might turn you into one. This tunic, tank, bells and bangles are all handpicked items from this gypsy soul boutique. Perfectly paired with a gorgeous tiered necklace from Chloe + Isabel, I could literally live in this outfit!Continue reading…

Elephants & Elegance

September 30, 2014

Simple and bold resort couture.

Effortless dresses that are cut to drape in all the right places are my favorite. They’re comfortable, easy to wear and look polished without even trying. If I can throw something on and just add boots or sandals, it gets promoted to the front of my closet. Misha Mendicino designs these gorgeous bohemian “resort couture” dresses that are effortlessly polished. An animal activist at heart, Misha donates 5% of all of her sales to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust which helps save elephants that are endangered. What more is there to love?Continue reading…

Clutch lust.

I am so in love with this oversize clutch from Pachamama Bohemian. It can easily hold my laptop, iPad or the millions of other things that float around in my purses, but most importantly is a killer statement piece that can be paired with just about anything. I’ve carried it with jeans and a white tee, daisy dukes and boots, and now my favorite look with a black maxi. I totally scored with this maxi from a sample sale in downtown LA…a new weekly sample sale discovery I made when shooting a music video a few weekends back. I love how simple and form fitting it is with intricate back detail, and the fact that it totally highlights my new fave clutch.Continue reading…

Venetian Gypsy

September 23, 2014

White marble, red lace.

During my last trip to Vegas I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the talented woman behind the lens of Trulavina, Jeta Bejtullahu. Mutual Instagram fans, we were able to squeeze in an early morning photo shoot in Vegas before she moved back to the UK. I don’t think I’ve ever been awake at 6 am in Vegas before this morning; we had the entire front porch of the Venetian to ourselves, crazy! I love Jeta’s mission of bringing color back into our daily wardrobes. I’ve always been attracted to bold colors and I try to keep a balance between wearing my hum drum blacks and bold statement pieces. Jeta practices what she preaches and comes up with awesome color inspiration in her ensembles.Continue reading…

Lost and Found.

I’m slowly but surely building my band tee collection. I never miss a concert tee rack at a vintage store and a killer vintage band tee is always on my list when I’m at the flea market. My newest addition to the bunch is my Tedeschi Trucks Band tee. Besides being my newest and coolest band tee, Tedeschi Trucks is one of the best live bands I’ve seen perform. Crazy talent in that band. My favorite way to wear my ever-expanding collection of band tees is with kimonos and anything with a boho print that looks like it came from the markets of Istanbul. Hey Molly makes the best combination of both. She designs and makes short kimono jackets that are super versatile and fall loosely in just the right places. Band tees, bralettes, maxi dresses, Hey Molly kimonos are the sweetest little cover-ups.Continue reading…
