#JustPassingThrough Chinatown

reef-girls-1

It is definitely still HOT here in the city. Nothing but slinky dresses will do. And you know how obsessed I am with Reef rover sneakers?! The shoe I take from the beach after a day of surfing, and still get to the bar at night to dance the night away. For now, I’ll be in Chinatown stocking up on sriracha, noodles, and tofu for a few days back home in the city. After so much traveling and having the New York Fashion Week flu, I can’t wait to cook up a little storm in my kitchen. Where to next?! I’m off to Columbis, Ohio for work on Friday. Constantly packing. Constantly taking air-borne.

MODERN WOMAN

Thank you C-Heads Magazine for featuring me as your “Modern Woman”! Glad to share reasons for my love of Indian curry, what camera I photograph with, and why it’s awesome having a sister! For our shoot, I went with a vintage bell-sleeve blouse I thrifted in Chicago for 2 bucks, my favorite cowgirl top, and some 70’s flares.

Read the interview now with more images from our photoshoot at Columbia University! It’s cool to be in school.

GIGLIO ISLAND

porto-santo-stefano-boat

I went behind the wheel of our tiny motor boat at Isola Giglio, a beautiful little island off the coast of Tuscany, Italy. We had nothing but the open sea and a soaked, torn map. As we sped past giant rocks surrounded the main land, we found peaceful little beaches on the coast to anchor down, and do some swimming. I went with just a classic black bikini, a cotton dress, and tons of sunscreen. As we started speeding, my hat flew straight into the ocean! Luckily, the sea was calm and I reached in a grabbed it before it completely disappeared. You can’t separate a girl and her hat. We were sun drunk and I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy. I couldn’t wait for a long nap on the way home. Our hotel deck was the perfect relaxtion spot for our last day in the dreamy Porto Santo Stefano. I did nothing but finish my book and practice flips with the boys. But we were craving pizza. And we wanted the best. So where to next?! NAPLES.

GIVE ME FLARE

true-religion-1

I’m back in NYC for fashion week, and my darker locks totally bring out the rock n’ roll in me. I’m slipping back into extra wide flares along with blacks and whites. Hiding behind round aviators. But right now, I can’t get enough of the True Religion Runway Collection Flare jeans. Talk about the most comfortable, stretchy flare ever made. Plus, it’s got that distressed hem that gives it that extra ooze of cool. Even reminding me of my grungy raw edged flares back in the 90’s. I like this indigo jean best with my favorite tee-shirt (yes I’m still a Los Angeles girl at heart) and skinny neck scarf. With denim, everything goes. It’s a little Kate Moss. But a lot more off-duty.
