DREAMING OF KAUAI


(Photos by:me & she; Top: Gap, Shorts: Wonderland Denim, Sandals: Cynthia Vincent, Clutch: India travel find)

I’m cold. I’ve only been in New York for a week and I am already looking forward to wearing shorts again and basking my unexposed legs to the sun. What a brat. But the idea that moving to New York might be real is really making me homesick. Yeah, you got that right. I never thought I would but I am considering the possibility of moving to NYC. I was never that person. I thought New York would eat me alive. But I guess not. I guess I am pretty adaptable.. or crazy stupid. I can’t decide.

But I love the beach and sea breezes and surf and maybe I should stop there.. But it can be an especially hard decision when I can’t wear outfits like these. Shorts, loose fitting top, sandals always. Exposed body parts basically. And toes that can really stretch out. I know I am being dramatic. There are other seasons besides winter. But I am stuff it in now and my body is frozen. Gah, what a decision I need to make in the next couple of months.

In the meantime, I will be dreaming of lazy days on Kauai.

CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS


(Photos by: TR; Top: T by Alexander Wang, Jeans: MM6 by Margiela, Flats: Cynthia Vincent, Sunglasses: Crush, Jewelry: Hinu)

We got to spend Christmas day out at a California ranch house with family, friends, good times and tons of amazing food. It was such a beautiful day and I felt incredibly blessed.. to be exactly where I was.. at that moment.

Now, the ranch house. Filled with amazing goodies that I will post later. Antiques galore! American Pickers would go crazy at this place! There were even persimmon preserves from the 70′s (not intentional though.. haha! They accidently got left to preserve a little too long!) I was especially drawn to the orchard. I wasn’t carrying around that persimmon for looks!! All kinds of goodies in all shapes and forms.. I’m telling you!!

I also got a new handy-dandy camera for Christmas (thanks jennifer, I love it!!) It’s a Fujifilm Instax! Probably one of the coolest gifts of the season! I have been getting good use out of it for sure! Maybe you’ll even see the fruits of it’s instant labor too. ;)

All in all, a very enjoyable Christmas away from home.

A DESERT COOL


(Top: Samudra, Jeans: MM6 by Martin Margiela, Flats: Cynthia Vincent)

Being in the desert ain’t so bad. I kind of like it. Hot days, chilly nights. Beautiful sunsets, starry skies. Long stretches of sand, different shades of brown. It’s got everything expect for the ocean. It’s a nice change of pace. There’s something very beautiful about the desert. I found myself staring out into the vast endlessness of cacti and sand wondering how and why people decided to settle in such an otherwise desolate place. In some ways, I feel like the culture is so much more vibrant here to make up for a lack of scenery. You know? I’m just stoked that I don’t have to wear a coat at the end of November!!

Just keepin’ my cool in the desert heat.

AWAY, ON THE ROAD


(Top: T by Alexander Wang, Shorts: 7 For All Mankind, Flats: Cynthia Vincent)

Got to hop off the island for the long Thanksgiving weekend and hit the desert road. I shoved a pair of shorts in my luggage right before I left for the airport and so glad I did! I guess it never occurred to me that the desert is an exception to the seasonal rule. I’m loving that I don’t need to wear a coat!! I’m down south enough that it doesn’t really call for it. Hello, me… Drrr.

So I decided I like spending the holidays away from home. It makes it really feel like a vacation. It’s so nice feeling like you have absolutely nothing to do. It’ll make it hard to go back to some responsibility. Eeek! But for now, I’m going to enjoy some nice canyon hikes, attempt to do some rock climbing, and keep driving down that dusty travel road!!

Gonna keep roooollin’!!
