Grecian Holiday
All that glitters is gold
As I sit in the below freezing temperatures of snowy Ohio, I couldn’t imagine a better escape than Santorini in the month of August. Of the dozens of countries I traveled to this year, it wasn’t until Santorini that I was able to really settle in and let go. The tannest I’ve been since my sorority spring break ’02, and literally the best vegan food I’ve eaten all year, this girl couldn’t be happier. Add in a gold-flecked Chateau Bel Age dress fit for a Grecian goddess…pure paradise.
Absolutely obsessed with golden chain quartz piece from Setara Jewelry. One of my favorite pieces to wear with a white tee or dress up with more gold.
Happy Holidays and stay warm, bunnies!

Sparkle Sophisticate
Dreaming of Italy in shades of rose gold
Once you’ve reached the bottom of this thirty-something photo post you’ll realize why this was my favorite shoot of the European tour. This rose gold sequin tunic dress by Jennafer Grace Collection feels like rock star royalty. Equipped with a plunging neckline that laces up with a gold chain, this dress is far from form fitting but oh so lala sexy! Shot in the beautiful entrance way of Villa Nichesola, everything was 100 percent in our favor except for the 50 mosquito bites I ended up with by dusk. But hey, the things we do for fashion.
From this shoot I have officially become obsessed with dark lips. Thank you Thea Cosmetics for breaking the goth barrier.
May your holiday festivities be filled with sparkle and sequins!

Franklin’s Tower
May the four winds blow you safely home
I miss these sunsets. Five beautiful nights in Santorini watching the sun reach beneath the sea from a villa at the top of the highest point of the island. Greece is exactly how I envisioned it, cascading white buildings streaming down the cliffs, and sunsets that warm your insides like you’ve just had the most delicious glass of wine. Admittedly I was especially looking forward to the hummus, I was in the motherland and I wouldn’t expect anything less. But apart from my favorite snack of little smashed beans, I ate the most delicious vegetarian dishes of my life! Avocado, beans, spinach, fancy mushrooms (not THAT kinda fancy, but the ouzo got us close) anything my little veggie heart desired. Out of the dozens of countries I have traveled to in the past year, Greece takes the prize for food. But enough about stuffing my face with grape leaves and falafel, this is a ‘fashion blog.’ And nothing complements the white scapes of Greece like the bold colors of Pachamama Bohemian, Ouroboros Designs and L di R.
Leather, turquoise macrame. This statement piece from Ouroboros Designs is unreal.
Like pieces of art for your feet! Obsessed with these moccasins form L di R.
The fit on this jacket is perfection! And has just about every one of my favorite colors.
