BEFORE THE NIGHT

It’s funny how quickly I miss home in NYC whenever I’m traveling. The twinkling lights of the city from my windows. The yellow cabs zooming by always… accomodating to our “I need to get there NOW” schedule. The eclectic style and people. The music at the back of the bar. I never get bored, and I never want that to change. My senses always on overdrive. Always overwhelmed (happily), always exploring. It’s the dream. I guess NYC will be my home forever…in between wherever the wind takes me. Things happen when you least expect it. But my favorite hour in NYC is before the night. Just as the sun is going down and the light begins to dim. Like here, on Sullivan Street. An hour to meet with friends before going out into the cobblestone shadowed streets. Who really knows where you will end up or who you’ll meet in a New York minute?!

In between the holiday madness, I’m currently dreaming up New Years. I can’t wait for a brand new start. An even better, brighter new year. Like every new year I say, “how can this one top the last?!” but it always does.

TOMBOY COOL

I seem to always manage to tomboy up even the most feminine and luxurious pieces. Like this Rebecca Taylor nubby pastel sweater and printed silk culottes. Best with a simple pair of black sneakers, and my favorite backpack customized and handmade in Paris by the lovely Jerome Boccino. Skater girl to the max.

YOU CAN’T CATCH ME

It feel so amazing to be back on the West Coast before the holidays. Normally, my travel trips are short and sweet, packing and unpacking every other day. LA. NEW YORK. LA. NEW YORK. This time, I’m a bit more settled…working before the holiday festivities really take over, and I get to BREATHE. I’m thinking a classic roadtrip up and down the California coast. Maybe casinos and flashing lights out in Vegas. Or driving with the top down up to Redwoods, bundled inside my parka. The smell of pinetrees and ocean. Maybe Mexico. Tulum. Spontaneity. Anything’s possible. Unplanned is the best plan. I feel so much more relaxed, and in tune when I’m home. The view of the mountains from my window from the house I grew up in. Always beautiful, always extra comforting. The endless rows of bougainvillea just the icing on the cake. Good Day LA.

KICKING IT

I’ve totally just hit up the sneaker department HARD lately. After wearing so many uncomfortable shoes for years on set for shoots, and walking the streets of NY with bandaged heels, I thought, “I really need to invest in some proper kicks.” They have saved my feet. Not to mention, it’s the perfect excuse to take on classic Swedish style. Just pair something totally classic and chic, dressed down with the perfect beat-up sneaker. Duster coat by Rodebjer (must-have Swedish brand), an embellished mini, and my favorite white tee. Oh, how I miss Stockholm! Where minimalism is key, and effortless is everything. Next to my favorite Pumas, Vans, and Nike sneakers, I’ve also recently went GA-GA over Brit brand Gola who I just shot with for the S/S ’15 campaign. Shop below my favorites.
