Bad Ass, Baby

If you are not familiar with the Italian line Sandro, it's like Isabel Marant & Rick Owens got wild one night and had a baby. And that baby is totally bad ass!
 
French brand Sandro (and it's sister line the gorgeous Maje) have come to LA and opened up shop inside select Bloomingdales.  I stumbled upon this awesome discovery while I was roaming around today. Pretty good find for a Monday.
Those sneakers are going on every shoot with me. LOVE THEM.

Tattoo's In The Kitchen

Great piece in this weekends LA Times on chefs that have "food" tattoos. I'm loving the images. My favorite is the "tablespoon/teaspoon" tattoo on the palm of chef Carolynn Spence, the executive chef at Chateau Marmont.

Beach Crusin'

So far it's been a great weekend, it's been like summer weather here which is great. I broke out of my comfort zone and 

took my new "Ikat Print" Joes Jeans for a spin with rav reviews - I have never been stopped so many times to ask who 

they were by and where I got them! Had breakfast with good friends at the beach, rode strand cruisers through town, 

did a little shopping, FYI  I'm loving the new Dannijo "Lindsay" bracelet  I picked up which screams SUMMER to me, rode the 

vespa to dinner to meet up with friends at Palmilla which is a hip/cool new Mexican place that's right by the water & I have 

to say that the cocktails were amazing?

And that was only Saturday - hoping Sunday rocks too...

Hope you are having a rad weekend!

 

It's All In The Details

I love checking out the the small details of what people wear.

More Skulls

Got on a little skull kick. Had a big shoot on Wednesday at Smashbox Studios and the skull scarf and the all gray ensemble just felt right. 
A mix of rock & roll x bad ass. Perfect.

Raquel Allegra shredded tee, Zara jeans, generic skull scarf (although it does screams Alexander McQueen),  
Ella Moss sweater, Splendid tank top, Beth Orduna necklace, Chan Luu bracelets, Tom Binns bracelet, Atelier Minyon skull ring.

Reckless Sunday

A "It's Not About Pretty" Production

Skating & styling - Cindy Whitehead

Film By - Ian Logan

Sometimes I get bored when I have a day off and come up with weird shit I want to do. Luckily Ian will pretty much 
go along with anything and agreed to find some great locations & film me for this video that involves Fashion x Skate.
 It's called RECKLESS SUNDAY. 

And yeah, that's the Thomas Wylde skull caftan & The Row black leather leggings I am wearing to skate in -
 like I always say - street + fashion + sport is all one in my book.

Let me know what you think.

Drug Money

My newest tee shirt obsession has to be with out a doubt, Drug Money Art. Is there anything here I wouldn't kill to wear to work on set everyday? Didn't think so. And let's not even kid ourselves - the name of the line is just plain cool.

Kind of loving that neon is back in style...

Gone Skateboarding

Doing a little personal project / conceptual piece this weekend that involves some video, skateboarding & fashion. If it comes out the way I hope it will, I'll be sharing it with you soon.   xx

And yes, that's one of my dogs - his name is Malibu and he thinks he is cool

Raise Some Hell

Last weekend of Coachella. Raise some hell. And let us know if anyone else rises from the dead, besides Tupac.

On Repeat

local celebrity tunic, gucci glasses, atelier minyon skull ring, blur bag, tom binns anarchy bracelet,

I thought I'd try out this rad tunic I got from Planet Blue a few weeks ago. Loved it so much I wore it to the Surf Fest night here in Hermosa Beach and to the Planet Blue x Foam party on Sunday in in Palm Springs. Yeah, I was totally a repeat offender. Don't tell anyone.

Shredder Girl

Lakey Peterson shredding it up for Nike. 

Need. Want. Must have. That rad cross back swimsuit top for summer.

Super stoked to see some ads with the girls ripping lately. 

The world is finally changing. Damn straight.

In Plain Sight

Funny thing about appearances - they can be deceiving. I think just about everyone at the Planet Blue x Foam Magazine party walked right by Gillian Zinser even though she was hosting the event. Yeah, we always think of her as the surfer looking girl, but Sunday she was sporting darker hair and red lips and I am sure most people (including me) never even realized it was her. Good for you Gillian - always keeping it fresh. Love that.

Planet Blue x Foam Magazine Party

Not a bad Sunday. Did a little road trip this morning to the Alcazar Hotel in Palm Springs for the Planet Blue x Foam Magazine party. After the rain we had leading up to Coachella, today turned out to be gorgeous, sunny, & 80 degrees. Got to relax by the pool, listen to some great music, suck down a couple limeade type drinks with some ultra smooth Preligroso Tequila in it (how I ended up drinking two, I have no idea) see some awesome "Coachella" looks going on, & hang out with good friends. Pretty much a perfect day.


Thanks to the girls at Planet Blue, Foam Magazine & Bollare PR for the invite!
