From Verona, With Love
Italy is for lovers
Everything is so much more romantic in Italy. The history, the architecture, the food, the way of life. Added bonus that Shakespeare’s Rome & Juliet takes place in Italy, specifically Verona. Verona has felt like my second home over these past 18 months. Performing a recording breaking 21 sold old shows at the Arena di Verona in one calendar year with Zucchero, I’ve almost spent more time in Verona than Los Angeles. There are so many things I wish I could bring home with me: the cafes, the cobblestone streets, the amorone risotto, the vino, the vegan gelato, it’s such a romantic way of life. The muted reds, yellows and pinks and blues paint the perfect picture of an Italian love story. From daytime gelato eating to nighttime vino sipping, Buckle came on the road with us to the city of love for the perfect day to night Italian street style.
True story…I had to have instruction on how to eat this gelato for the camera. I think we have at least 30 outtakes.
Ahhhh, my favorite newly discovered restaurant in Verona. A wine cellar that has a secret passage to the Arena di Verona and is home to more than 20,000 bottles of wine!
Love, love love these booties from Buckle. So versatile with jeans, dresses, socks, any which way.
That’s amore, my bunnies!

Mykonos Musings
This June began one long summer tour for me. Beginning in Italy and making our way through Europe, Scandinavia and even a dip into Africa, Greece and now South America, I couldn’t have planned better to keep the warm weather rolling through the beginning of November. Today we travel to Curitiba, Brazil, for our final show of the Black Cat World tour. So many memories and highlights that I’ll enjoy reminiscing for the rest of my life. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to be able to capture my travels with photographer extraordinare, Ashley Myers, in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. And of course being outfitted in gorgeous accessories and wardrobe. Idyllwild Designs, Cloud Ranch Jewelry and Yoga Outlet accompanied us on this magical day of exploring Mykonos.
Such beautiful detail on these pieces! And mad props to Idyllwild Designs for using vegan leather!
Cloud Ranch Jewelry is currently one of my favorite designers to wear everyday. With the fires that just occurred in Sonoma, the designer’s studio was completely devasted. I cannot even imagine the grief for a lifetime of work lost in a fire. If you’re interested in supporting this artist, please visit her website and help her continue with her incredible art.
Cheers to forever summer, my bunnies!

Orange You Glad
Holidaze in Greece
What I would give for just one more day at the pool in Greece. Ouzo shots, mojitos and hummus for days while strumming drunk tunes on the ukulele. That’s how we spent our afternoons in Mykonos. The Ouzo may have gotten the best of me…these photos following pool time are a tell tale sign. What was a stumbling mess leaving the pool area to regroup and play dress up, actually turned out to be one of my favorite shoots of Mykonos. The stark white against the complete opposite sides of the color wheel (orange and blue) are some of my favorite color combos at the moment. This little gauze hippie top from The Little Bazaar made it’s rounds in Greece. If this top could talk, boy would it have a helluva story to share.
I’m really into these beautiful, delicate silver jewels from Cloud Ranch Jewelry.
Happy holidaze, love bunnies!
