summer trip recap // LA

have you seen this yet?
i'm a huge dianna argon fan, and sam smith fan. so this was all-around magic.




i was very reluctant to leave los angeles. carly and i spent probably too much time together (yeah right), and the weather was so so warm, and it's just so dang hard to leave your friends!

i spent my trip doing a lot of shopping, having a million lunches, seeing movies at the hollywood forever cemetery, a little bit of partying, lots of late night dinner dates, getting sunburnt at the beach -as only i know how to do, red streaks all over my body- celebrating carly's birthday, and a spontaneous road trip to the middle of nowhere.

but mainly i just spent time being weird with my best friends....

july 4th!

fireworks at huntington beach with carly & nicole. red ribbons for festivity!

dad greeted me at the airport with these. that man knows the way to my heart!


road trip!

 we drove 4 hrs out to the deep pits of niland california. what a strange place to be. we stayed in a hotel one town over, very small towns! but interesting to be so far from most civilization but only a couple hours from your home. it's not like we even left the state! we had a lot of fun, stopping at any rest stop that seemed interesting (see dinosaurs below) and we even found a lake in the middle of the desert!

 a beautiful sunset hung in the sky like a painting as we neared calipatria, and we roamed around the little town looking for food & some drinks to get us through the night. (we then jumped on our hotel beds singing, put full makeup on in our pajamas, watched the kardashians, and ate a bunch of junk food, then talked til 2am. girls i tell ya!) we will never grow up.

 oh yeah, and then we finally visited salvation mountain the next morning which was really the whole point of the road trip. hehe

me by the walton sea! (taken by amelia)

 my cute younger brother eating ice cream during a day-trip to santa barbara.

the hollywood forever cemetery is one of my favorite places to be on a saturday night in summertime. unfortunately i had to leave the night they were showing one of my favorite films (empire records) so irma and i opted to see blue velvet instead. it was strange! but it's always wonderful to watch a movie under the stars with strangers picnicking.

 a couple outfits.....

a pretty downtown sunset, and a couple of pictures from the set of a c magazine cover shoot.

malibu properties

prada, and miu miu, and valentino- oh my!

this post is getting much too long, but i suppose i'm cramming a whole month in! we'll round the whole thing up with my favorite pictures:

i told you...

oh what do you know, being weird by myself!

 carly will be back with a post next week.
brownie points to you if you got through all of this post.

Dreaming // PARIS

Hey there all!

long time no post, i know! i've been so busy with school & such, i've had no time to shoot, or write. i'm terribly sorry.

recently all i've been thinking of is traveling back to paris! random, i know. for those of you who followed my previous blog will know i went last summer, and was unable to post most of the photos due to lost memory card/ broken camera. however, i've been able to scramble together a few unseen iphone photos from my trip for you to see.

i'll leave you with this beautiful parisian side street.

i can't wait to return, i promise next time with more pictures.

Coachella // INDIO

yeeeeesh. it's been awhile.
realizing i should have made some inspiration boards before i headed off to coachella but i was literally scrambling! i couldn't find a thing to wear, i was in the middle of a massive research paper and i was going through some personal stuff.
excuses, excuses.

can i share some coachella pictures to make up for it?

i went with some wonderful friends, and we had a fantastic time. i always stay in a hotel somewhere in palm springs, because although this girl can definitely rough it and camp- it's just so freakin' hot. there's nothing like a shower and a bed after a night at coachella.

i didn't bring my camera along because i was only popping in to la for a week, and it's not allowed at coachella. so we bought a trillion disposable cameras between the five of us. i miss film so much! i used to have two tim cameras that were attached at my hip.

my nutty friend leah crowd-surfing on a dolphin (not ours)

i've attended a few music festivals, but coachella will always hold most of my heart. i've seen some of my very favorite artists there, and it's just always such a loving environment and pleasant experience. i love dancing my heart out with like-minded strangers. lazy days, and electric nights.

already planning next year's!


i had a lovely long lunch with carly upon my return and then sadly i was off again.
back in the swing of things here, as my last month of university for this semester wraps up and we get closer to exams.
i'm heading to a comedy show tonight, my birthday is next monday (...twenty....), i'm heading to a concert, and then my cousin's baby is due pretty much any day now.
things are about to get nuts!

i promise i'll be back soon
