Oh, what a week! It felt like Friday would never come, for multiple reasons ;). But here it is, and I’m so excited for a weekend at home. And have a few things I’ve discovered this week that I’ve been wanting to share with you! So here goes… NUDE Skincare. Guys, I just discovered this line and I’m loving it. Basically, it’s high performance skincare WITH healthy, NATURAL ingredients. I will keep you posted as…
Guys, we are back. Kind of. The site may not look very pretty right now, but it’s at least functioning! It was down all day yesterday (I’m sorry to those of you trying to use it!) and that was no fun, let me tell you. But we are slowly getting it back together, it’s Thursday (which means it’s almost Friday), and things are looking up! For this crazy day, I decided to keep things black-and-white,…
One of my favorites, St. Eve Jewelry, launches their newest collection today. I got to work with an amazing team to shoot it – Cleobella, photographer Taryn Kent and Jules from The Wayfarer Collective, and hair and makeup by Andie Jones. These are all amazing women, whom I feel SO fortunate to know, have the opportunity to work with, and call my friends. Which makes this collaboration a great one to post on National Women’s Day…
One of my favorite things to do on the blog is share a new brand that I’ve discovered and really, really love. Varley is one of those brands. I met them at a trade show and the brand immediately resonated with me – it was exactly what I’d gone to the show to find. High quality activewear with the perfect mix of function and fashion, resulting something a little bit different, in the best way ;). Varley Ella Python…
I’m excited to share this month’s cover of Desert Magazine with this beauty, Shafia West. We headed out to the desert not too long ago to shoot this feature with an amazing team of women. We shot around a little place called Makerville – an artist collective space in the most beautiful desert/mountain setting out in the Santa Rosa wild. Photographs, Kendal Riley | Styling, Leslie Christen | Makeup and hair, Lauren Reid | Models,…
This past weekend, I was lucky to be invited to attend a class, the first of its kind, at the brand new Sephora store located at the new Pacific City. The new store is beautiful, the staff was amazing, and I learned so much! First, about the class – “Perfectly Paired Lip & Cheek”. This class was perfect for me, because I have very limited knowledge on the subject! I rarely use liner, lipstick, or blush, but…
New digitals. You guys, WHY is it so hard to take unedited photos?!? Blake and I both had to take new digitals today, something I normally avoid as much as possible…they feel like naked mug shots! (Don’t worry, you’re in a swimsuit!) Or like a really bad “before” something picture. But it ended up being way more fun to do it together, and Blake is so good about being encouraging and making me feel good about…
This week I was lucky to be invited to a special event at a special place – a styling event with L’Oréal Professionnel at Ramirez Tran Salon in Beverly Hills. The event was in honor of the new partnership between L’Oréal Professionnel and celebrity stylists (and salon owners) Johnny Ramirez and Anh Co Tran. The salon itself is amazing, and the event was so fun. I had my hair styled (and actually chopped again!) by Sal Salcedo. Sal specializes in…
I had so many emails about my dress that I posted from my (surprise) birthday party last week that I decided it needed it’s own post! It’s comfortable and flattering, which means there’s a pretty good chance it’s Monrow ;). With the mock neck, it’s super cute with something layered over it or great on its own. Best part – it’s on sale right now for $71 (from $117!) Monrow Striped Dress (on sale!!) | All Saints Leather Jacket…
Clear Weather Brand shoes. Guys, Blake and I both took a new pair to New York, and we literally would get stopped on the street by people wanting to know what brand our shoes were. It was pretty funny – I started wishing I had Clear Weather fliers to hand out so I wouldn’t have to keep explaining it ;). Seriously though, these shoes are so unique and high quality, and SO COMFORTABLE. Like, I can’t…
