THE LOW V

When I spotted this jumpsuit, I immediately thought of Jane Birkin’s white lace maxi dress with that super LOW v-neckline. Right on Serge Gainsbourg’s arm. Swoooooon. I’m totally digging this new jumpsuit version made by my favorite babes, For Love and Lemons. Constantly bringing sexy back. A fun, more wearable take on Birkin’s iconic ensemble. I’m dying to take this look out for a night of disco dancing here in the city. Last I wore it was back at my home in LA, prancing around in my bedroom in this little onesie, with not a care in the world. Sometimes you can just dress up at home even when you have absolutely no plans to go out.

PATTERN PLAY

When you open my closet, it’s honestly a mash-up of crazy prints, eclectic patterns, and wondrous textures. Vintage mixed with exotic finds from around the world. Where nothing matches, but unexpectedly does. I wouldn’t have it any other way. This gorgeous Cynthia Vincent piece is just one more to add into the collection. The colors reminding me of Mumbai, and the paislee print like out of the Woodstock sky. Subtract the ice and white snow outside my window, and you could say I’m in heaven.

TIME TO DECORATE

This month, I’m totally redecorated my apartment. I’m so excited for a clean new slate. New lamps. New paintings. Rugs. Fluffy pillows. With the new year, I want my home my sanctuary. Right now, it’s super minimal. I’ve got loads of windows and natural light, but have kept things super simple due to loads of traveling and rarely having a second to hit the home department. I steer clear of clutter, but I love unique and stand-out pieces. Handmade dream-catchers, a white fluffy bed, a tufted couch, and candles. ZEN. Take a walk through these amazing living spaces. Clean layouts, with a touch of quirky personality. Luxe but down to the earth. So inspired to take my NYC decor to the next level.

TRAVELING CIRCUS

pump7resizedTraveling circus. Traveling band. That get up, and get out of town, eclectic look. Your favorite fur oversize coat. Fringed leather miniskirt. And you can’t separate a girl from her best friend: her Jimmy Choos. It’s all about throwing on anything and everything and owning it. But it’s all in the hat. This baby was customized in Venice Beach by the incredible Nick Fouquet. I’ve always wanted a perfectly squared top hat, complete with a burnt brim and a match stick. So so clever, and it turned out wicked. Everyday is another reason to dress up. Even if I’m at home on a Sunday, it STILL feels good to put on a pair of heels…though it makes me over 6 feet. But whatever, nobody’s watching.
