Little spikes here and there always get my attention. I love a giant stud on an item of clothing (hence the vest I designed for Volcom) and I love little sharp edged jewels to adorn my fingers. People are always interested in what I have on my hands…normally it’s much more that even I can handle! Fooling everyone into thinking I’m this tough girl who can’t really be messed with is the fun part. Anyways, I will always be a fan of studs, spikes, or anything that could double as a weapon, to hammer onto a piece of fabric. Mixing something like my vest with something a bit more sweet and a bit more surf, like a crochet knitted sweater, sort of softens up the look. You can probably tell that my jewelry collection is nothing but crazy necklaces and wild armor, but there’s one piece that really blows my mind…and it is my Plukka “Bullet” ring. It’s luxurious and beautiful, but has a bit of danger to it. You’re sure to scare off the bad guys with this one!

Be sure to check out Plukka’s “Bullet” ring giveaway on their Facebook…you too can walk on the wild side 🙂

California, do you miss me yet? I do miss you, though I’m back next month…but for some real desert fun (cough, cough, Coachella) and I can’t wait to prance around in your open fields again. California, to me, always means no makeup, more time outdoors, and a hell of a lot more chill time. Here I am snapped just a few blocks from my home in Cali, where horses roam, and there aren’t any sidewalks. You won’t hear a peep here unless it’s the rustle of leaves from the oaks trees or a random animal out in the brush. I made my way up the cracking, winding streets in nothing but a rad pair of riding pants, a sheer blouse, and one of my favorite vintage jackets. Earth tones will always dominate my wardrobe.
