Mai Tais and Mermaids
Maui Sunsets
It’s been about a month since my trip to Maui and I’m finally getting a chance to share the second round of photos by local photographer Danielle Nowicki. Forgetting that not every place is sunny without at a chance of rain like 99% of the time in LA, I completely lucked out with the Hawaiian weather for this shoot. Since Hawaiian rains that just come and go at the drop of a hat, I couldn’t have imagined a better evening for a Maui sunset on Po’Olenalena Beach. A low tide with knee high waves and a partly cloudy sky that the sun just peaked through. Just enough light to catch the sparkle of the golden threads in this Pachamama Bohemian crochet one piece. And the Mai Tais? I definitely had my fair share over the course of the five days, answering most of my emails under the influence, but hey, when in Maui…Continue reading…
Dirty Laundry
Dirty little secrets, Dirty little lies
It’s actually one of those mornings that I have at least 5 loads of laundry sitting on my bedroom floor. And if you’re anything like me, I air dry at least 75% of my laundry so that means my bedroom currently looks like an open air market in Instanbul with bohemian threads draping from every knob, hook and rod that can hold a hanger. It was last month that I stumbled across this sweet little laundromat in Crestline, California with my photographer. Not one counter had been changed since the 70’s (possibly a handful of dryers as well) and it even came equipped with a local resident that didn’t look up once from his newspaper despite my twirling obnoxiously around in a wheeled laundry basket. Wearing a dress from Femmebot Clothing I could literally live in, I pranced around this little pastel paradise without any actual laundry obligation and only doing activities my 10 year old self would be stoked to do.Continue reading…
My Sweet Lord
Really want to show you Lord, That it won’t take long
It’s been a second since I’ve shared some music related posts on my blog. I’ve vowed this year to start doing more videos of me performing, and here’s the first of many more to come by my new little trio, B Western! I’ve gone deep down the country music path since I started learning this pedal steel guitar three years ago. It’s really interesting how all forms of art and fashion are so intertwined together. My personal fashion style has been taking a shift towards more western bohemian style basically because I’ve been immersing myself in all forms of country music. Bro country (not really a fan, but I’ve learned and performed quite a library of that), mainstream country, western swing, classic country, and of course California country/rock which includes one of my faves the Flying Burrito Brothers. The more I dig into learning pedal steel, the more music I discover and the more it influences what I wear everyday. I’ve been obsessing over chain stitching embroidery, vintage western items, and anything that you may have seen a country western star wear from the 50’s to the 70’s. Now if I could only have a closet filled with Rockin B Clothing for every country performance I do! I’ve been obsessively sharing her line all over my insta and I’m excited to share the first full length feature on my blog of just one of her incredible designs!
