SHEER DARKNESS

It’s Friday, so why not kick off the weekend with a perfect party dress? For Love and Lemons kills it every single time. I fell madly in love with this sultry lace beauty the moment I spotted it at the Revolve Grove Pop-Up. The sexy sleeves. The fit. The delicate embroidery. Too good. It’s a piece I’ll keep forever, and look back, and be like: I remember that night I first wore that dress! I slipped into this baby for our New Years Eve celebrations out in Venice Beach, California. Paired with only a red lip, and my favorite Saint Laurent pumps. We hopped from one party to the next…all along Pacific Avenue. The chill from the ocean waves rolling in, but the the rock n’ roll band kept us dancing by the fireplace, keeping us warm all throughout the night before popping that much-needed bubbly. I really do miss the WestSide, but it feels good to finally be back in NYC after what has been a super long, sunny and warm holiday. I can’t wait to share with you what I have on my upcoming schedule. I’m back to the craziness.

DO THE DENIM CHOP

getty-la-8resized

I have officially become one of those girls who attacks her clothing with a pair of scissors. And it always starts with the jeans. The more ankle, the more cropped, and the more they look “effortlessly chic” the better. I guess i got the cutting bug from my older sister Dylana. She’d always leave her OOPSY POOPSY “I just totally messed up on these pair of jeans because I cut a hole on the crotch” in MY closet. I threw on these jeans that I’ve been wearing for ages…and believe me, they are PERFECT. But a little chop made them even more me. It’s a DO depending on your height and fit of your jeans. Loose and straight legged? Yes. Skinny and midrise? Yes. Everyone loves a good frayed hem. A good hem, and great backless, NO BRA day. So liberating eh?! I took this super casual and easy look out to the Getty, one of my absolute favorite spots in LA. I go for the spectacular views and killer photo exhibits. And nothing’s better than rolling in the grass in your favorite jeans.

SIN CITY

VIVA LAS VEGAS. For me, it’s a love-hate kind of thing. I guess I really love OLD Vegas. Downtown Las Vegas. Where the streets are currently craving it’s revival by luring you in any which way they can. Home to some of our favorite legends. Elvis and Michael Jackson. Where it all happened. Where they danced on stage… lived for the glitz and glamour…all while changing the world. They don’t call it sin city for nothing. The non-stop entertainment. The black-jack tables, the jingle of the slot machines, the blissful sound of coins dropping in your cup. The flashy cars, glittering lights, and bottomless drinks. I grew up with Vegas. Considering it was my parent’s favorite roadtrip destination when I was a child.  Where everything is over the top and you’ll run into the kookiest of characters. For the holidays, we kept it relatively low-key as I went down memory lane along with those necessary pit-stops at Saint Laurent and Chanel down the Strip. I mean, a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do.

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.
