I know what you’re all thinking: This wetsuit is sick. I took this baby out for a chilled surf session out in Ditch Plains, Montauk with Cynthia Rowley and the team. She really does some of the most insane prints. I admire her love for color and graphic prints with a 70’s inspired touch. The team and I grabbed our glamorous surf gear and though we were hit with gloom and rain, it didn’t stop us from diving for the waves anyway. I’ve been super jet lagged after Singapore so this cold rush from the water really woke up my body and made me feel alive again. I can always count on surfing and swimming in the ocean to suddenly jump start me. My love for the sport began back home in California. Surf and skate culture were a huge part of my upbringing in Los Angeles. I remember modeling for everything surf/skate…my long, bleached locks, tanned skin, and messy bangs completely identified with rock n’ roll surf culture of the time. But it wasn’t until I stepped on my first board in Costa Rica that I became hooked. Then I surfed Nicaragua and Mexico. That adrenaline rush is what I live for. Whenever I catch a wave and stand up, I start screaming and yelling. It’s completely uncontrollable. Conquering even a small wave makes me so happy that I have to shout. Grungy surf style will always have a place in my heart, and I know that the laid-back look by the sea will never go away. I’m taking that part of my style, and elevating it with statement pieces like this perfect paisley wetsuit along with a delicate earring. I wish I had more time to dedicate to the sport, but I’ll happily make the easy drive out to Montauk for a necessary afternoon pick-me-up.

METALLIC PARTY
I have been all about shimmer and streaks of metallic. Here I am at the Rosewood London in what may be one of my favorite looks. An eclectic Etro blazer and the Cynthia Rowley pant I wear with just about everything. This is me, in full-on diva mode right before a night on the town in cold, cold London. Can you peek at those cotton long johns I’m sporting underneath? Girl has got to stay warm. I’m currently writing from the plane from Colorado to Milan. It’s crazy to be flying from the snow where I wore nothing but a black turtleneck and oversize parkas, straight into Milan Fashion Week. Time to stow away the snow boots and whip out the stilettos! I can’t wait to tell you more about my my relaxing getaway to Dunton Hot Springs. I needed to escape somewhere in the middle of nowhere where I could completely unwind, and where I had zero cell service on the ski slopes. 3 hours from any airport, and far enough removed from any town. Exactly what I wanted. For now, it’s time to switch gears and hit “fashion.” You would be surprised to see my suitcase…under 50 pounds, 7 days worth of clothes, 3 very cold cities. Let’s go.
