Volcomunity.com Introductory VIDEO!

I am so excited to announce the launch of the Volcomunity website! It launches this next Monday the 21st, but I wanted to give you all a heads up with my intro video! Ever since I shot my first campaign shoot with Volcom last year, I really got to connect with the brand. Their design team is amazing and I’m head over heels for all their new pieces. We’re talking killer button-ups, gorgeous frocks/maxi dresses, and some of the coolest skinny jeans ever. As their new face, I also have a column on the Volcomunity blog! So so exciting I must say. It’s going to be completely spontaneous and fun. We shot this video up by the Griffith Observatory (one of my absolute favorite places in LA) bright an early one morning. I’m surprised my eyes are open! Getting to be a part of this project is incredible and I cannot wait to get up more posts and work with their videographer on more videos! 🙂 Also contributing to Volcomunity is Jennifer Herrema (singer/Volcom denim designer), the Posso girls (DJ’s/style icons), Savanna Grace (talented young writer), Chelsea Salisbury (Volcom swimwear model hailing from Texas), as well as a column all about our stellar Volcom women athletes. Really a rad group of girls sharing their thoughts on fashion, music, and everything else in between!! Having Dylana as the Volcom social media/blog coordinator has been amazing as well. Volcom has become one big family!

UPDATE: The site launches on Monday, the 21st! Be sure to check back at Volcomunity.com!

Side Swept

(Vintage dress, Forever 21 blazer, BCBG shoes)

One thing I really hate is STRONG WINDS. And that hissing sound that comes through the cracks of my window? Yep, dislike. But I sucked it up to take a few snapshots of my outfit which I actually loved dearly until sand swept through my legs and my bangs refused to stay down. I went with a flowy vintage number, a blazer, and some platform boots. Super simple. I love a little movement in the fabric, but I think the day’s wind just gave my dress a bit too much sway.

Beach House


(Vintage blazer, 5 Preview “Naive” tee, Hudson Jeans, Ferragamo flats, BR satchel)

On the warmest day of the week, I took a drive down to Newport beach. It was nice getting out of LA for a bit. The congested freeways and horrific parking really get me sometimes. I love how in the OC the freeways are newly spread open and everything just seems slower, calmer. When I got to the beach, it was surprisingly quiet. Not something I’m used to. Where are the people down there?! Only a few beach bums dared jump into the chilly ocean with their bikinis on. So crazy to even THINK of wearing bikinis in March. Welp, being one that hates getting tan, I trotted around in a cheeky tee by awesome Swedish tee shirt maker 5 Preview . Yes, Evian can ironically be spelled as Naive har har! Pretty much wore my most low-key outfit. I love days wandering about doing absolutely nothing under a blistering sun in just a tee shirt and jeans. I felt totally lazy and sleepy. Great way to clear the mind!
