Free People Escapes
Free People Escapes with Yogascapes
Tucked away in the middle of California desert highways is a beautiful little escape that brings me back to my summers growing up in northern Ohio and Michigan. I can’t get over that this type of natural greenery exists just 90 minutes outside of Los Angeles. Trying to convey a Berkshires, Massachusetts vibe, I couldn’t think of a better location to shoot my collaboration with Free People. Lake Gregory, near Big Bear, is such a sweet little mountain town with lots of character and a midwest way of living. After a full day of shooting in the most stunning natural locations (and even an adorable little laundry mat) I even got down on some fantastic vegan Mexican food! Next trip to Big Bear definitely requires an eclectic little cabin rental!Continue reading…
29 Palms
Desert livin.
Maybe it’s because I’m from Ohio and expect to see flat roads lined with corn fields whenever I take a road trip that I am so enamored with any type of desert life. This was my first trip to Joshua Tree and 29 Palms and looking out the car window, I must have commented on at least 50 rad locations that I could stop for a photo shoot. Faded pastel colors, vintage desert art, small abandoned homes sitting in the middle of nowhere, I can’t get enough. We opted for this amazingly cute air bnb in 29 Palms which is why I ended up venturing to the 29 Palms Inn. Great vegan options in the middle of the desert btw! Just the week before I left I serendipitously met the owner and designer of Tejido Shop mailing this exact jumpsuit at the post office. Of course it caught my eye and I wanted to be wearing it that second! I was able to take this rad jumpsuit with me to the desert and I honestly can’t wait to own this piece in a handful of colors.Continue reading…
NOLA Jazz & Heritage Festival 2016
NOLA 2016
New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival has to be my favorite music festival by far. Just the fact that it’s in New Orleans makes this festival ten times better than any other festival out there. That’s right, Coachella, NOLA has you beat. There’s the major headliners and tons of acts to catch throughout the day but the real action happens after hours where music packs every single club in the French Quarter. Over the course of two days I documented my adventures through NOLA for the Radisson Red Instagram account. A little sight-seeing, vegan grub, a tarot card reading and of course music!Continue reading…
