An American Poet
Don’t you lover her madly…
Don’t you love her ways, tell me what you say. I remember my first introduction to The Doors when I was about 12 by my cousin who basically defined everything that was cool. She was only a year older but I felt like she was light years beyond me in defining what clothing was in, how to sneak alcohol and cigarettes and obviously what were the coolest bands to listen to at the moment. I took most of my coolness cues from her and started to get into all the music she was into which included The Grateful Dead, The Doors and the entire soundtrack to Wayne’s World. We would listen to The Doors self-titled album on summer road trips with her mom and those songs have stuck with me every since. Now to be rocking Jim Morrison’s face on some high-waisted lace-up knickers, why not?!Continue reading…

Lusting over desert wanderings.
I feel like this was my farewell shoot in the US before I embarked on a three month European adventure. It’s been a whirlwind prepping for this European tour with Italian artist Zucchero and now that I’m here an even more taxing (yet amazingly rewarding) amount of effort to learn and internalize close to 60 songs. So much to the point that I’ve been MIA from social media and writing consistent blog posts. Things are finally getting in a groove and I’ve been settling in, something I thought I’d never say during my first two weeks here playing my instrument nearly 14 hours every day. As we’re heading into production rehearsals I’m getting super excited about the shows, something I couldn’t even conceive with the amount of material to sort through (and having it all be in Italian)! As you can imagine a fashion blogger packing for three months is no easy task. This dress from Shopbop in particular made the cut and has been taking the journey with me across Italy and soon all over Europe.Continue reading…
Wild Horses
Wild, wild horses we’ll ride them some day
Our final evening at Rancho V. Nothing could be more serene than the desert at dusk. Carefully tiptoeing barefoot through the gravel and fallen cactus needles we made our way to the highest point of the ranch to catch the sun dipping below the Sawtooth Mountains of Pioneertown. The only thing missing from this picturesque scene was a herd of wild horses galloping in the distance. Running across the bottom of my dress is one of the most beautiful graphics printed on a clothing item. Designer Christian Cox brilliantly placed this ethereal black stallion along the hemline of this gorgeous chiffon halter dress. It almost looks as if it emerges from the evening desert shadows. Neutral beaded jewels and Native American inspired designs from Boho Global add the most perfect complement.Continue reading…
