Color to the Alley


(Volcom hat and pants, H&M sweater, MANGO black ring, Hallelu gold ring, H&M x Hasbeens shoes, One Language tote bag)

During my visit to the Volcom headquarters, I went on a little shopping spree. Okay, a big shopping spree! I picked up these amazing neon blue pants and even scored this little black hat from the men’s department. I also picked up a few gifts for my friends and family, as well as grabbing a few more staple pieces for my own wardrobe hehe! I’m currently getting things together for the Volcom denim video series that will launch on Volcomunity.com. I cannot wait to begin shooting this week! It’s going to be so amazeballs! I spent the rest of my day nearby to the offices, on the adorable streets of Newport Beach. Clouds were hovering overhead, creating a beautiful soft light for photos. The weather has been so drabby and gloomy, but I have to admit that my bright pants did put on a show: I made a dude with a ponytail nearly ride his bike into a pole as he commented on how much he liked them. Bright pants: DANGER. Maybe I”ll wear this outfit out more often 😉

H&M and Swedish Hasbeens Shoe Collab PHOTOSHOOT!


Photographed by: Derrick Leung

Here it is! Dylana and I for the online launch of the H&M and Hasbeens shoe collaboration! H&M wanted to capture the whole LA vibe and so we hit the streets of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills for some beautiful snapshots! The whole team was so much fun. I swear I was laughing the entire day (and not because they already had champagne flowing at 11am). We were also blessed with fantastic weather. Warm with constant sunshine. It definitely got us in the bright spring mood H&M wanted to capture. Dylana styled two looks with the new Hasbeens shoes, out in stores on the 20th! I’m so happy I got to attend and support her during the photoshoot. H&M even ended up putting the two of us together for some sister shots. Finally, some cute pictures of us together eh?

Scroll down… it’s GIVEAWAY TIME!!

BEHIND THE SCENES:

Living Room Cool

This week so far has been a breeze. I’ve finally gotten some much needed r & r! Finally getting over the crazy allergies that decided to take over my body, and feeling much better now! This week, I went to support my lovely sister Dylana at her H&M photoshoot for the new Hasbeens and H&M shoe collaboration. I am wearing them here in this post! These Swedish clogs are extremely comfy and give me an extra unneeded height boost. They go perfectly with the rest of my wardrobe, so I’m quite happy to get a pair before they even hit stores! The photoshoot was a complete blast. I got some great behind the scenes footage of Dylana, catching her looking like a total supermodel. At the shoot, we even got in a few sister shots as well (me as her sidekick ehehhe!)! I’m excited to see how the shoot turned out!

And with the sudden heat we’ve been having, all I feel like doing is lounging around, in the warmth of my living room to be exact! Besides my new Hasbeens for H&M sandals (which I kind of keep wearing now), I’ve got on a stellar zipper vest and my favorite velvet vintage skirt. Super simple. The heat makes me lazy and sleepy, but I’m loving the change in behavior 🙂

UPDATE: It’s also FREEBIE FRIDAY on Nylonmag.com. See my feature and be sure to enter to win a bunch of VOLCOM clothes from the new collection! Enter HERE!

Don’t play with fire.

hahahahah dy looks like a baby with a bib.

Here is just a little sneak peek into my recent photoshoot for Volcom! It’s easy to see that the Volcom team is incredibly fun. I never know what to expect when I step on set. This time, they definitely brought the bad girl out on me. I was caught playing with fire, whipping my hair back and forth, and participating in all sorts of wrongdoings (just kidding). But I did enjoy every second of the photoshoot. The whole Volcom team always make me laugh! We fought over what music to play (Girl Talk hip hop music always ended up being our playlist) and danced together in sync to the music (which I caught on tape, until my cell decided to be retarded and delete the epic video grrrr). Anyways, I’m desperately craving for the leopard trench coat, mustard colored sweaters, and rust colored pants. WANT WANT WANT. These stellar pieces aren’t out yet, but I already have them on my wish list! For now, visit me VOLCOMUNITY.COM!
