Coachella 2014 Photo & Video Recap

Coachella, my long lost lover. How I waited so long to reunite with you. Coachella is one of those things you have to experience to understand. I never thought of myself to be a flower child by nature until I stepped foot on those desert grounds. Now, three-years running, I don't know what else I'd be. Coachella for me is about the music - the good vibes, the good feels, the freedom to just be. Sure the fashion part of it is amazing too (I mean who doesn't want to prance around in fringe, crochet, shorts, feathers, you name it...)? I sure as hell do. Flower crown? CHECK. But, when it comes down to it, I'm there for the feeling that is Coachella. It's unexplainable. Maybe I'm a little too in love with it, but if you've gone, you would be (and likely are) too.

You Are My Sunshine

This shirt from J.Crew has got to be one of my favorite finds. I picked it up in Napa a little while ago, when I made a pitstop on the way home from the Bardessono property. At less than $20 (a pleasant surprise when I got to the cash register!), it was the perfect parting gift. Brights like this one make me realize that I need to add way more color into my wardrobe. Doesn't the yellow just make you smile?

Sky High

Hi guys! Apologies for missing a couple of posts in the last few days. I've been dancing in the desert since Thursday and just got back. I'm still basically brain dead from three days of nonstop dancing and smiles, so we're going to keep this post a little on the short side. Click below for more...

Before The Desert

Channeling my inner festival vibes in this outfit because...I'm going to Coachella! I am so very excited to dance in the desert and let my inner flower child run free. This outfit is very reminiscent of what I'm likely to wear - denim vest, comfy sandals, and a long flowy maxi. I was crossing my fingers and toes for months that I'd somehow grab tickets, so I'm over the moon that it's happening. I haven't packed yet, and I have a million things left to do before I take off this Thursday, so I'm going to keep this one short and sweet! Click for outfit details!

Away We Go

One of the things that us Californians sometime take for granted is how close we are to the coast. I will openly admit that I don't visit the beach as often as I should. But on this day - I did. It's amazing to think that just a 20 minute drive from my apartment is this - a blue sky, crashing blue waves, and a calming sound that helps you forget about the hustle and bustle of the city. On days like this I am reminded that it's okay to get away and just be.

Hot Dogs or Legs? Just Kidding. My Routine For Summer-Ready Stems with Bliss Spa

You've undoubtedly noticed that the weather has gotten a little warmer, the sun has started to shine a little brighter, the festivals have slowly started to hit in full swing, which can only mean one thing - it's almost time for shorts season. And, I say shorts season because let's be real, bikini season is nonexistent here in SF, ha. There is nothing I love more than frolicking around under the sun. It's seriously one of my favorite things to do. But, when the sun comes out, so do the stems, and I know I'm not the only one who wants to make sure that mine look like all that and a bag of chips. So, in preparation for suns out, buns out season, I have partnered with Bliss Spa to share my a few little things in my routine for achieving those dreamy legz for days.

pancakeSTACKER: The Redesign Pt.3

Ah, we've made it. Part three of three of my photos with Melissa! My favorite thing about this set is how much it reminds me of a place I've never been. Doesn't it feel somewhat Parisian? Ah, if only. Funny thing is right next to this location is my absolute favorite macaron shop in the city! So, we've talked about the site, we've talked about the outfit, what will we talk about next?

San Francisco Sweater Season

Surprise! I also couldn't leave the J.Jill event without buying this ah-mazing sweater. I've already worn it a handful of times because it's the perfect piece for San Francisco's fickle weather. One minute it's warm (hooray!), the next minute it's frigid cold (whatcha gonna do...). I don't own too many green pieces in my closet, but it's always been a color I've found to be flattering on my skin tone. So, it was an easy decision when it was time to hit the register.

Beauty Bites: #MACrockscolour

Get ready for a photo heavy post, y'all! This week, we're skipping Food Friday for another Beauty Bites post. I mentioned last week that I have partnered up with MAC and have been so excited to share the news. The new flagship MAC Pro Store recently opened in the city - conveniently located in Union Square on Powell, for all to see and enjoy. It's unlike any MAC store I've ever been in - it has everything you could ever want from a cosmetics store. Fresh and funky lashes, colors upon colors upon colors of lipsticks, eye-shadows, and glosses, and a rocking team to help you find what you need.

pancakeSTACKER: The Redesign Pt.2

In part two of my three-part set with Melissa, we found the raddest graffiti wall, which happened to match the colors of my website redesign. Speaking of the colors of the redesign, let's talk more about the actual site itself, shall we?
