Mmmhmmm, the classic Bob Marley “Survival” tee is back. A piece borrowed from a friend, she says it’s lucky. Maybe it is! It’s literally been worn to shreds, but I guess it’s okay when paired with something a bit more refined, like a flowing red maxi. These colors of Africa will never do me wrong. Reds, yellows, greens…all tribal shades to dance in…colors that will forever remind me of this summer.

There really is nothing better than on being location for work. I was out in Montauk, shooting for Italy’s PENNYBLACK S/S ’13 Magalog and let’s just say, the whole experience was a dream. Squinting in the sun, dressed in crochet and cotton florals is what I’ve dreamt summer on the island would be like. This season’s shoot was based around the beautiful beaches and greenery of The Surf Lodge. We got that free-spirited hippie vibe I love the most. The embroidered couches, little twinkling lights, smokey fire pits, and late night jam sessions were all just small wonderful accents to our trip. Though we spent the majority of our trip driving around the island on location with our photographer Kelsea Kosko, we did get some moments to relax and just enjoy the sea air. Currently reviewing all images from the shoot with the team…and let’s just say the images turned out BELLISIMO.

I’m finally back home after a week of shooting, both in my house and out in Montauk. My apartment is a liiiittttle messy after being in and out so much, but I’m slowly getting back in the groove of things. I have an endless amount of stories to update you on, it’s pretty insane! Until then, I’m bouncing around town this weekend in teen tiny shift dresses (a gift from the big sis). I’m actually wearing this bad boy again today for an afternoon out at PS1 concerts. Don’t think this dress will be very clean once I’m through with it. Gotta thank big Dy for all these little hand me-downs. Sometimes it feels good to be the little sister.
