Light My Fire

April 9, 2017

Girl, we couldn’t get much higher.

My absolute favorite candle line joined us on our last journey to Joshua Tree. An evening filled with vintage vinyl and the most luxurious scents from Flores Lane is what makes up a perfect desert getaway. Each hand-poured soy candle made in the heart of West Hollywood is named after a particular region of LA and NY. Some of my favorites include the beachy florals of Hermosa Beach and the musky undertones of Venice. Anytime I’m at home I can guarantee a Flores Lane jar or two is illuminated. The scents are vibrant but subtle enough to burn two favorites at the same time. I’m waiting patiently for the lovely ladies of Flores Lane to add even more scents to their arsenal…I know they’d come up with the most perfect rendition of French perfumeries or Italian beach sides.

The white jars have a slightly more feminine and floral touch while the black jars have a little musk and masculinity to them. Whatever you’re in the mood for, there’s a Flores Lane scent for it all.

“Come on baby light my fire, Try to set the night on fire.”

Desert Dreaming

I can’t think of a better escape right now than under the desert stars in Joshua Tree. The cool evenings in the desert call for lots of layering, blankets and cozying up. Just in time for that time of year when everyone makes the pilgrimage to Coachella Valley for two weekends of music and bohemian fashion overload. Dare I say I’m not a big fan of Coachella (I’ve performed there and I’ve attended) maybe it’s the mass influx of high schoolers who depleated the inventory in every Forever 21 within a 50 mile radius of Los Angeles, or maybe it’s the fact that I can’t stand EDM or most likely the fact that I can’t imagine roaming the grounds without an air conditioned artist trailer filled with booze and beer that I can run to at any moment. Yes I’m pulling out the spoiled artist card, but seriously drop me off at Jazz Fest in NOLA and I’m like a kid in a candy shop. Regardless of what music fest you’re attending or camping at this year, the most essential item to pack in my opinion is this incredible roll up sleeping bag from Sleeping Bag Beauties. Blank, sleeping bag, pillow case, eye mask all in one and rolls up into the most adorable little pack that can make the trek with you anywhere.

Enjoy the start to your festival season, my bunnies!

Ruby Ribbon Coachella Giveaway

March 27, 2017

Win a pair of tickets to Coachella weekend one!

It’s hard to think ahead for festival season fashion when I’m en route to Montreal looking out of the tour bus window at piles of snow. Yes, I am a midwest girl but a true desert girl at heart. Shorts and boots will forever by my staple. Traveling so much has definitely honed my packing skills but even with the minimal packing for this tour that is taking me through Canada at the moment, I could have definitely left behind at least a half suitcase of wardrobe. Those cute new body con maxi dresses I splurged on, um not sure they pair too well with a ski jacket and snow boots. In just a few weeks, however, festival season inspires the best desert-bohemian fashion in retail across the globe with an overwhelming amount of options. Keep it simple. It’s hot as hell in Indio, California and unless you have an all access pass to trailers and catering it’s more or less a sweat fest from dawn til dusk. If I was a Coachella-ing this year what would I take? Honestly a few variations of this ensemble. A handful of bralettes for layering (in this case this adorable demiette from Ruby Ribbon) a few pairs of shorts, some layering kimono type wraps and shoes you can live in. Are you just living vicariously through bloggers’ fashion tips and wishing you had your own pair of Coachella passes? Well there’s just a few more days to enter Ruby Ribbon’s Coachella giveaway for weekend one! Tell us how much you love your festival fashion on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook and include the hashtags #rubyribbon, #demiette, and #festivalseason to be entered to win 2 weekend-one Summer Music Festival passes at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California! Include a picture of yourself in your Demiette styled for festival season and get an extra entry!

Mellow Yellow

March 6, 2017

I’m just mad about Saffron, Saffron’s mad about me.

Yellows, burnt umber and brick reds. A palette fit for 1969. This little tie-up shirt from Pachamama Bohemian and dreamy yellow floral crops from Novella Royale are gonna be my spring staples. Cozy enough for lounging and groovy enough for a night out. Yellow actually happens to be my favorite color, it’s just so tricky to wear. The subtle shades of yellow and what my teenage self would call ‘puke green’ have become a favorite combination of mine. This billowy, gauzy yet oh so feminine blouse is my favorite compliment to skin tight flares. Tied up or loose and breezy, it’s so versatile and so easy.

“Electrical banana, it’s bound to be the very next phase.”

Six Days on the Road

March 2, 2017

Six days on the road, And I’m gonna make it home tonight.

This last Joshua Tree trip wasn’t quite 6 days on the road, 4 to be exact, but in actuality a prep for the next 6 months on the road for me. I am so grateful that I get to perform music around the globe with an artist and a band I adore. The Italian artist Zucchero is taking me around the world to places I’ve only dreamed of going. Starting in San Diego on March 15th and headed halfway around the world to Australia and back, 2017 is gonna be one helluva ride. Only fitting that my new favorite local designer, GM Studio LA, is Italian herself and designs clothes that are made in Los Angeles that are totally rock star worthy. While I’m bringing the threads on the road, I only wish I could bring the rad team that helped tame my cherry red mane and made my skin look all dewy and pretty! Thank you Ashley Layton & Marlene Sullivan!

“There’s a speed zone ahead alright
But I don’t see a cop in sight
Six days on the road
And I’m gonna make it home tonight.”

Joshua Tree

February 20, 2017

Desert dazed.

I’m writing this on the eve of my next trip to the cosmic community of Joshua Tree. This time rolling with squad of uber talented and fun ladies to a sweet little mid-century modern meets Gram Parsons ranch style home. What’s in store? Prosecco for days, photos, photos, photos, local pub hangs, music making, vintage store exploring, scenic desert paintings, basically everything I love in one of the places I love the most. This time we’ll stay a little more hydrated, and work a little less strenuous…what is behind these photos was end of the day delirium where Ashley and I literally thought we spotted a carnival but in actuality drove into a deliverance-like desert setting where a large ferris wheel was in fact a poor excuse for a burning man installation. Basically a ten foot tall mess of plywood nailed in a circle, something I feel like I’ve seen outside of the Scientology church of Hollywood. Becoming a little more versed with the lay of the desert, get ready for a Boho Bunnie overhaul of Joshua Tree photos.

May your desert days be dreamy.

Vintage Valentine

February 14, 2017

From Laurel Canyon, with love.

My first ever polaroid only shoot. Shot by the maven of polaroids herself, Shelbie Dimond. Through a series of planned events that all consistently fell through (locations, dates, cameras, wardrobe) we ended up exactly where we were meant to be, shooting exactly what we were meant to shoot. On the hillside of a Laurel Canyon home of a mutual friend of ours, just before we lost the sun over the canyon hill, we caught some unbelievably magical moments on film. Shelbie has such an incredible vintage style that transpires into her photography and self portraiture. A veteran of posing au naturel, I channeled my inner Shelbie for this special Valentine’s shoot.

Have a magical Valentine’s Day, my bunnies!

Space Cowboy

February 11, 2017

Don’t you know that I’m a gangster of love

Hand-stitched bandit p’s and t’s and baby blue ostrich cowboy boots fit for a rodeo queen. Of course the first excursion is making a jungle gym out of an abandoned train. I cannot say enough good things about both of these companies. Spacecowboy NYC, possibly the raddest online and brick a mortar shop featuring boot designs you would only dream of owning, and Pantsu Pantsu, a custom hand-stiched clothing company based in London featuring the most adorable and no-frills sexy tees and panties.

My personalized monogrammed “A!” I had such an amazing meet up with one of the creative forces of Pantsu Pantsu on my recent trip to London in the fall. Definitely the most fashionable chick I had seen in London to date. She came bearing this amazing little western set which she stitched herself and included a little personal touch.

These boots…definitely my all time favorite cowboy boots ever made.

The softest tees for your titties;)

“I’m a space cowboy
Bet you weren’t ready for that.”

Velvet Dustings

January 26, 2017

Something vintage, something blue

I’ve been gravitating towards textures and blues recently. Maybe it’s because of the red hair. Keeping monotone shades but making it tactile has been go to look. Velvet, faux suede, and elaborate beading make this ensemble one of my everyday favorites. Any easy way to make a summer outfit a west coast winter outfit…add a trench and thigh high boots. I actually do keep my shorts in rotation all year long for those winter days when pants just aren’t cutting it. Adorned with some pretty little lovelies from Flea Market Girl and the most amazing beaded saddle bag from Pachamama Bohemian, scroll down for some west coast winter street style inspiration.Continue reading…
