Light as a Feather

Though I’m normally super low key, I live for the days I can wear a long, beautiful dress. I mean, I am currently living the grunge life in Austin, Texas for this week’s SXSW music festival. But I LOVE LOVE, always need a little something that’s just so gorgeous and makes me feel like that super girl…a piece that blows in the wind. This 10 Crosby Derek Lam via Amazon Fashion beauty is too perfect. A pale pink, it’s peplum little waist, and bare shoulders make it so me. It’s a subtle sexy that I love. Mixed with a bit harder jewels taken from my overflowing drawer (we’re talking longhorns and sharkstooth), I was good to go. Spring soirees, take me to you! Right now, I’m currently resting in bed in our Austin hotel, having a late start, as really nothing happens around this festival till around midnight! The streets become flooded with people, our hotel has a constant flow of rocker boys in line to check-in, the weather is hot, and I honestly can’t wait to step outside outside, grab a taco, and just curl up on a bench in the sun. Rock tees and denim are all I can work with this week here during this crazy festival…hopping from gig to gig late in the night! Still dreaming of the next time I can once again sport a piece as beautiful as this one.

The Lone Star

I am clearly in a cowboy sort of mood. Dreaming of my coming week in Austin, Texas…designing our new western boot in the factory…oh, and now I’ve got a killer 10 Crosby Derek Lam blouse to boot. This beauty resembles an old vintage gem, but it’s Derek Lam, and a luxury piece more than anything else. The collar and back detailing are just too beautiful. Paired with some downtown cool velvet overalls and a new favorite acid washed denim jacket by RVCA, it’s NYC designer and California street wear, all mixed into one happy jumpsuit of a look. I’m currently sitting by my overflowing suitcase contemplating what else to pack. I’ve got a killer project I’m working on and I can’t wait to spill the beans. Till then, I’m bouncing between castings, juggling emails, and packing my life into one too-small of a suitcase. See you tomorrow SXSW! There’s going to be way too many good tunes for my friends and I to handle. YEE-HAW!

Starting tomorrow I will be taking over all GUESS channels during SXSW!! Follow my Instagram for more details!

Purple Haze


Yep, more and more shots from my Shoeline.com S/S ’13 campaign are here! This time we went the whimsical route, but with a touch of rock, as I threw the tee I had with me over a flowing dress. Paired with a pale blue Vintage “Erin” boot and light flowers loosely wrapped in my hair, it’s something you’d see me running around at a festival in, but my boots would probably be covered in dirt! Streaks of sun lit up the city this whole weekend and all I can think about are the purples, the pale pinks, and the blues that make up Spring. Pastels, I love you! With a bold pink lip and some light denim, let the wind whip right through your skirt. Bring on the days warm enough to lie on your back on the grass and squint at the sun through the trees. Here’s to a beautiful Spring!

Texan Lady

She’s a fox. Her hat’s tipped a little bit forward, and she never leaves without her hot beau by her side. Front row at every show, she’s a killer. Texas, I cannot wait to roam your downtown streets of Austin, tuck away in the back of your vintage shops, and lick the bbq sauce from my fingertips in the backyard. I’m ready to rock out and dance the night away, texan style. See you very soon SXSW. Save a seat at the bar for me.
