Beach Waves

There are certain places where we go to think about life..
 For me its the beach.. 
Listening to the sounds of the crashing waves and smelling the salt air puts my mind at ease… 
I love to hang by the beach and read books, and sometimes jot a few thoughts down in my diary…
I don't think I could ever live without the beach!'
I found this amazing spot in Monterey,California..
Its an incredible rock beach with very scenic views. 
Its the true symbol of summer,gorgeous weather, and romance. 
Luckily I have a few cute outfits to throw on for these beach Excursions…
This Jumpsuit was quite a find! Its slouchy on top but flares out to gorgeous palazzo pants!! 
Its the ultimate beach jumpsuit.
 I put it on over my bikini…
 Its all elastic so you simply just slip it on and slip it off. 
Its the perfect color too!
The jumpsuit is this sandy brown and black butterfly wing print.
Palazzo pants are great for long walks barefoot on the beach.
When the wind hits the pants are soft and loose.
The winter is such a bummer.
I hope it goes fast so I can be back on this beach enjoying sunsets and life.

Vitamin Sea

How I loved Monterey, California! 
Its probably one of the most scenic and beautiful spots to visit in all of California. 
I was very lucky to have experienced it for a few days.
 The Monterey beaches were so gorgeous it was like being on a movie set!
I was only there for 4 days but I think I'd like to go back for a week or 2.
While I was in Monterey,
I stopped along the 17 mile drive to shoot a few gorgeous printed vintage dresses.
This peasant dress from Shabbybabe has pretty puff sleeves and high slits on each side. 
I'd say its more of a beach dress than a regular day dress.
 It would make a gorgeous beach cover up to throw on over a bikini!
 I love the print! Its a jungle theme print. 
It has palm trees,elephants, and tigers!!
 When I go to the beach I can never be without a few accessories so, 
I bought this pair of Chacos Sandals over the summer.
 I love them! 
Their fashioned of 100% real leather,
 and I've never worn a sandal so comfortable in my life! 
They were ideal for walking around on the rocky terrain.
 I always put on a vintage leather belt with a boho dress like this! 
Concho belts are truly my favorite accessory. 
I just bought this Choker during the summer. 
Its a tribal themed piece from one of my favorite online jewelry stores,"Child of Wild".
I said to myself this summer I needed "Vitamin Sea" 
and I definitely got a huge dose of it while in California!

San Francisco To Los Angeles: The Epic Road Trip


I've just returned from the most epic road trip of my life! 
I've been traveling from San Francisco to LA for the past 2 weeks! 
It was an insane road trip and quite an eye opener! 
This was my first time exploring the West Coast of the United states.
 Only one word comes to mind when explaining what I saw: BEAUTIFUL!!!
 I was surrounded by mountains, golden sunsets,and gorgeous coastlines!!! 
It took a while for me to get used to. 
I'm from the East Coast…. 

NJ Suburbia, NYC, and Cold winters is what I look at every day….
It has its pros and cons…. I love NYC, but the winters are brutal!!! 
We have shores and beaches but not like California does!!!
 I loved the wild life I saw there!
 I saw sea lions,Elephant seals,otters,pelicans, 
and the list goes on and on!
 Along my journey I stopped in
 Monterey,Carmel, Big sur, Cambria, LA, and Huntington Beach! 

Every 3-4 days I was up and out to a new destination in California…. 
On my epic road trip I stopped to photo some amazing looks 
I put together before the big trip!
For the next few weeks(or months) 
you'll be seeing a few West coast inspired look books I shot in California.
I'll never forget this trip! It was life changing for me! 
I met so many cool people and saw so many places that inspired me spiritually.
I can now finally share what I saw and experienced with you too!
