2015 | Let’s Do This

newyear1resized

I am beyond excited to be moving on into the new year feeling totally complete. This year was so full of rewarding obstacles to battle, and beautiful adventures and glistening star-studded moments. 2014 was so wonderfully powerful and life-changing…allowing me to fully live the dream, and see the world. One snap of a photo at a time. Surrounding myself with good people, I could easily see what was good. What was bad. What I needed. What I didn’t need. The people that really mattered in my life. That focusing on what makes you happy is really the key to success. My intuition has been by my side throughout my entire life, and honestly, I feel there’s someone watching over me somehow. Making sure I’m okay, guiding me in the right direction. An angel. Making sure that anything toxic wouldn’t get in the way of achieving my dreams. My happiness. Now, I’m just grateful for every little thing. But most importantly, the people in my life. For my beautiful sister Dylana, who helps make every single one of my days brighter…another reason to live the dream. Soaking in the day with laughter and beauty. My parents for listening to everything I have to say, keeping my life in check to reach my highest potential. My friends for making me cry with laughter even in the wildest of times. For you readers…inspiring me to be inspired and share my creativity, and whatever is going on in my mind. To make visions a reality. To touch you with an image, a mood, a piece of clothing, or the lyrics in my songs. You keep me inspired to travel to the most exotic of places, reach for the stars, and live in the abundantly beautiful present. To look those you love straight in the eye, and tell them you love them. To take a walk and smell the roses. To squint up at the sun, letting it soak into your skin. To be kind and sincere. A loyal friend. To live. To breathe. To let your emotions take you over your mind and body…dancing the night away. To sing so loud and powerfully to get your point across. To show up anyone who has ever doubted you. Because you’re better than that.

I feel stronger and wiser than ever. 2015 for me means living in the moment, and thinking and living out of the box. Because I was never one to be stuck in a cage, or be like anyone else. You know when you feel invincible?! I’m ready to take on the world. Come on and join me on this next chapter.

ZEPPELIN

Merry Christmas everyone!! This week was a ridiculous amount of fun as I just got back from a roadtrip out to VIVA LAS VEGAS for some slot machine fun and killer shopping (can you say Saint Laurent?!) But most of all, I’m so grateful to get to spend extra quality time in LA with the loved ones before beginning yet another whirlwind year back in NYC. The holidays are so dreamy. Especially when you’ve got the Santa Monica sunset, and bubblegum Vencie Beach skies overhead. I never want it to end.

Like I’ve said before, I packed NO CLOTHES, anticipating packages and work pieces being sent to the West Coast. My luggage always stuffed with gifts and clothing for my family and friends. Sometimes it’s more fun to just work with what you’ve got and see what you come up with! But I made sure to pack these beautiful leather pants to shimmy into just in time for the holidays. Straight off the runway from Tommy Hilfiger Collection, they fit like a dream. With it’s rich burgundy hue, and gold zippers down the ankle and pockets, I’ve got that LED ZEPPELIN “Whole Lotta Love” thing for it. Complete with the matching cowboy boot, and my favorite dip-dye vest. I’m always unleashing my inner rockstar. Maybe that’s what I need to do this year. Start my own band. Who’s with me?

TRUE RELIGION HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

trholiday4resized

I’m super excited to share my True Religion Holiday Gift Guide! I’ve had my eye on the stunning sequin jacket for a while now. Ever since I hosted their LA store event, I’ve had it on my holiday wish list. And, it’s back in stock just in time for the holidays! It’s so rock n’ roll cool. It’s got a tomboy shape, but with all the sparkle, it easily transitions into my top favorite holiday piece. On a work day, I love it with a simple white tee, and my favorite boyfriend jeans. But for my upcoming holiday party, I love it dressed simply over the True Religion suede dress, complete with a vintage scarf tied closely to my neck. This little party dress is the perfect silhouette.

Right now, True Religion is totally killing it in the denim department. I am lusting over the metallic silver skinny jeans, and pin-stripe cropped skinny. Their Italian boyfriend continues to remain a favorite in my wardrobe, alongside the Hallie Hi-Rise, and Hallie Mid-Rise. Trust me, they will make your legs look a mile long! Now, get shopping! See my other top picks below.

I too have loads of holiday gift preparations to get done before Thursday! And who doesn’t love a new pair of jeans?!

TRAVELING CIRCUS

pump7resizedTraveling circus. Traveling band. That get up, and get out of town, eclectic look. Your favorite fur oversize coat. Fringed leather miniskirt. And you can’t separate a girl from her best friend: her Jimmy Choos. It’s all about throwing on anything and everything and owning it. But it’s all in the hat. This baby was customized in Venice Beach by the incredible Nick Fouquet. I’ve always wanted a perfectly squared top hat, complete with a burnt brim and a match stick. So so clever, and it turned out wicked. Everyday is another reason to dress up. Even if I’m at home on a Sunday, it STILL feels good to put on a pair of heels…though it makes me over 6 feet. But whatever, nobody’s watching.
