It’s My Birthday!


(Joie blouse and coat, Raven Denim cords, Kork-Ease boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Ax + Apple necklaces, Carol Marie chunky cuff)

I’m just going to start out and say it’s my birthday today! Woot woot! I’m 21! It’s kind of crazy what’s happened in my life so far. Traveling, working, moving to the east coast, and kind of just making my own path. It’s has been a wild ride but this past year has been one of the best years of my life. That extra feeling of being one ancient son of a gun is just part of the package. Anyways, I’ve already been receiving some amazing gifts. Best birthday present ever? My parents were soo cute and bought me a new lens which is being shipped to NYC as we speak. I’m pretty excited to play around with it. I also received some beautiful additions to my wardrobe (which isn’t as spacious as it should be)! I’ve recently been sporting a lot of Joie, which has a very cool, classic yet boho vibe to it. I’ve always admired this brand so much since I was just a little tween and now I’ve finally got my hands on some really amazing pieces from their latest collections. I could honestly wear this blouse and coat everyday, it makes me feel that good! With fall, I’ve been leaning towards a lot of muted colors and neutrals. I think it kind of goes well with what’s been happening with my hair. Most of you probably noticed it’s A LOT darker than it was before. And thanks to a few new highlights from NYC’s ARROJO salon, I’ve never been happier with the new doooo. I just feel very very FALL in this look. AND HOT DAMN IT’S MY BIRTHDAY. Lots of festivities for the night to come!

Jump Around

(Vintage blazer, Free People blouse, J Brand two-toned jeans, Lodis belt, Sainte Claude necklace, Jewelmint bracelet, Bronzallure (available at Lord & Taylors)/Vanessa Mooney rings)

This may be the simplest look, but it’s still my favorite. I’ve had this vintage blazer for ages, bought over a year ago at an amazing estate sale on the Westside of LA. 100& wool and a fiery red, it’s my go-to standout blazer. Because of it’s color, I kept the rest of my look understated. But you have to check out these new J Brands! They are two-toned (half denim, half waxed) and they kind of look like leggings on crack (the good kind) due to their super hot thigh-high look. I swear everyone does double takes…am i wearing pants, thigh highs, or none of the above? I refuse to answer. THEY’RE JEANS. Topped off with a leopard belt and a geeky pair of penny loafers, I was all good for my day frolicking around the village in between meetings, errands, and some Stuytown fun (I swear I get lost in that place).

Happy Halloween: A Volcomunity Short Film

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from us here at Volcom! Just last week we shot this fun short film on the roof of my building here in New York. With a crazy tribal inspired mask, I got to bust some moves! TRICK OR TREAT! Watch the video:

What Started as Picking Flowers

(Free People blouse, Koshka cords, Dolce Vita boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Accessorize ring)

I love days that are completely spontaneous, and whenever I’m with Claire, they always are! Walking around our neighborhood in the village, we stopped to act like complete dorks and sniff the flowers and admire the pumpkins, before ending up at the local park…only to find a BREADED figure. Sooo yes, we asked a random dude to take our photo. Turns out he was a super sweet road biker from California! Eventually we befriended three really awesome road bikers (we’re talking bicycles not motorcycles haha). Being the overly friendly chicks that we are, we brought them to our favorite Israeli cafe before making our way to Williamsburg. There we played guitar and sang our own versions of everything from the Beatles to the Red Hot Chili Peppers! THINGS GET FUNNIER. To ease our hunger pains, we opted for mini cheeseburgers at (off all places) WHITE CASTLE, which was the only place open at 2 in the morning. All I can say is, it was a totally random, fun night meeting new people, making music, and eating at the most legendary fast food restaurant on the planet. I swear this kind of stuff only happens in New York! Oh yeah, I wore a really awesome Free People blouse and boyfriend cords. These pieces always bring me back memories of that evening!
