IT’S ALL IN THE LEATHER | HOBO BAGS

Hobo is known for their incredible leather. The way it molds to my body when it’s slung over your shoulder. The way it ages with each wear, every scuff or mark adding to its laid back charm. Hobo is meant to be lived in, no matter the season. They get softer and softer. Here I am featuring two of my favorite Hobo bags, both in stunning, neutral shades that go with just about everything…in colors that reflect the deserts of California that I grew up in. Everything from the burnt brown mountains to the dark green landscapes. Sure I’m a NYC girl now, but it’s the scent of suede will forever remind me of life of the west coast in the cowboy town of Los Angeles.

WHY I EMBRACE CHANGE | HERBAL ESSENCES

I am so excited to partner with Herbal Essences for their Embrace Change campaign where women celebrate how change, big or small, can be healthy and liberating. How something as simple as your hairstyle or haircut can inspire a new chapter in your life. How confidence shines through when you overcome fear. Fearless of embracing imperfections. Fearless in tackling obstacles. Fearless in taking that jump and making an important move in your life. When it comes down to it, when I look my best, I feel my best. When I feel my best, I am unstoppable.

Throughout my life and career, I’ve dealt with so many changes. From being thrown into the modeling world at 15, to moving to NYC on my own without knowing anybody. All I had was a one suitcase, a strong work ethic, focus, and most importantly, a lot of courage. With this early independence, I learned quickly that I had to remain confident and positive…even when the challenges of moving to a new city comes your way. It’s about finding your support system, a good group of friends, and a lot of self motivation. Rather than fitting in, I longed to stand out. New York City was that place for me.

TO COLD SPRING IN THE AUDI RS3

As a New Yorker, it’s so important to get out of the city, and drive. I’m an LA girl, born and raised…we love being behind the wheel. It’s that freedom of being able to cruise, escape the chaos, and breath in the fresh country air. Having a car in the the city is the ultimate luxury. Meet the new Audi RS3, isn’t it a beauty? This baby just launched in the US for the first time. My absolute dream car. It has just the right amount of space for packing in my friends, just enough room for luggage, and still feels sporty and super chic. This car can really fly, literally going from 0-60 in literally 3.9 second! I love the way the engine roars when I press the Start button…Audi always makes me feel like I’m in a race car. Here, I did one night in Cold Spring, in upstate New York with my sister. We were ready for farm-to-table dishes, a spa day at our favorite apothecary, and a few moments to just soak in the gorgeous views. Like they always say, “the road is better than the inn.” So here are a few of my favorite snapshots along the way.

FOR THE TALL LADIES PART 2!

Hey tall ladies! Part 2 of my Long Tall Sally x Karl Lagerfeld Paris capsule collection photoshoot is here! Finally, there are pants and leggings and beautiful, delicate gowns that fit us tall lades with our extra long limbs. Being 5’10” means being super careful with how I shop online. Normally, I study the size guides to make sure my pants are long enough, and that dresses have that little inch or two in length so that the fit is perfect on me. Long Tall Sally has made shopping so much easier. I know that their sizing is spot-on for my tall frame, so you can’t image how excited I was to be the face for their extra chic new Karl Lagerfeld Paris capsule collection. I love the pearl accents, clean silhouettes, and attention to the little details in each piece. When it gets chilly, I always lean towards head-to-toe black ensembles. It’s classic and effortless. French simplicity, perfected. Nubby black sweaters and leather pants. Embellished cocktail dresses that really accentuate our elongated frame. Then, there is the ultimate oversize black coat, roomy enough to layer over a chunky knit. This collection make getting dresses for fall a breeze…and fits like a glove.
