This weekend was filled with roaring winds, yet there was sun…lots of sun. I was walking Soho and about 10 minutes in, it got so crazy that my hair was whipping my face, I could barely see, and the only thing we could do was hop in a cab and seek shelter. There’s Jordan and I looking like maniacs with our crazy hair…his more than mine! I guess he’s going for a more rock n’ roll vibe this year?! And of course I’m sporting summery dresses in one of the coldest winters we’ve had! This embroidered beauty is something I couldn’t keep in the back of my closet any longer. With a little lacy blouse underneath, I thought “it is now winterwear, I can go out!” Thankfully two layers of jackets saved the day. I love you Muubaa and APC! Oh, and there’s two new loves in my life. These like YOKO sunglasses and a teeny tiny tube of Obsessive Compulsive LIP TAR in “Anime” that I now secretly stash away in the bottom of my handbag, you know, just in case I need some color?! It’s a bubblegum pink and paired with a navy blue look, brightened up a somewhat of a dreary winter day. I’m currently on the prowl for more and more bright lip colors. Yesterday I went with a subtle orange that made me want to want to travel somewhere exotic like Bali or India. I’m already planning my next travel destination, so stay tuned! For now, I’m going to go all out in the lipstick department.

I am beyond excited to share with you a sneak peek glimpse into my shoot with Italy’s PENNYBLACK S/S ’13 collection! The magalog is just about to be realeased (I’m dying to get my hands on the issue) but for now, I’ve got this killer behind the scenes PORTRAIT film to share. Here I am photographed by my my amazing friend and photographer, Kelsea Kosko, out in the dreamy beaches of Montauk. I don’t know what I’d do without her! The collection was filled with beautiful pastels, mixed in with bold reds, and lots of prints. I have to say, I still think of those gorgeous platform Mary-Jane shoes, and flat sandals. Can it be summer already?! This past July when we shot this, seems like yesterday…everything from our long drive from the city to Montauk, to early mornings at the Surf Lodge, running through the windy beaches, hiking with our crew through the green lush just to shoot on a giant cliff overlooking the ocean. Talk about daring! We were given complete creative freedom for the shoot. The styling, the locations, everything was a spur of the moment shot, and it was perfect. I already miss our crew and rad van which took us all over the island. It was our little home for  that warm, rainy day. I think the unexpected rain made the mood for our shoot even more special. Stay tuned for the magalog and interview!

I always go to my roof for a little bit of winter’s sun. It’s Saturday morning and I’ve got The Shins softly playing and I’m slowly gearing up for a long weekend ahead. Friday night was spent in my apartment with friends and unexpected visitors, making our own flatbread pizza and lying over the couch with our guitars, playing as movies were on repeat in the background. For some reason, I love making music with the tv on. Talk about a perfect Friday night! When I’m lying around the house, I’m always in jeans and a denim button-down, but I do love my tie-dye and layers, and in warm, golden tones. This maxidress reminds me of the California waves, and it’s a beautiful seafoam green. I can almost taste April in California and I cannot wait. For now, I’ll be downing coffee before spending hours this weekend with the boyfriend at the factory, as we perfect some upcoming styles. Now you can even get our tasseled JETT MESSENGER bag and other MV designs at Cloak & Dagger in the East Village! Their cozy store is always a place I recommend everyone to visit…with it gorgeous little frocks and kickass guitars. Lord knows we all need a little rock n’roll lovin’ in our wardrobes.

Yesterday I had to miss an entire day of NYFW due to a shoot, and I have to admit, it was actually a much needed break from all the craziness. I did give in though late in the night for one more party. I swear the socializing never quite ends this week, but isn’t that the point? Liquor, and all things naughty, surrounded by people in adorable little get-ups. I have to say this may have been one of my favorite looks this week. A boyish leather trouser, a Pretenders rock tee, and beautiful printed suede jacket. Oh, and can’t forget the 90’s choker necklace!!!  With all the pretty dresses floating around Lincoln Center, I almost forgot how amazing it was to sit back in a t-shirt. Holy Moly! I live for the slouchy things in my wardrobe…pants so cozy that I can dig my hands into my pockets on a cold, windy day. I was dressed for the BCBGMaxazria show, and yep, I was backstage with Max. He called me “cool” and I nearly died. Yep, NYFW rocks. Take a peeky here at some of my little snaps along the way! Pretty little shoes at Jenni Kayne, and some neon doll-like babes at Kate Spade. I’ve got one more day of shows before I can finally wrap myself around the real world.
