Keep your Hat On!

Happy May everyone!! Summers around the corner. 

As we know, Its all about staying cool in the late spring and summer. 

It wasn't until recently that I started wearing hats to keep the sun rays off of me.. 

While I was in California in September, it was so hot on the beaches! 

Sunscreen and shades just weren't enough to keep me cool.

 Luckily,I found the cutest little hat store in Haight/Ashbury in San Francisco! 

I went in to Goorin Bros. not knowing what I was going to find. 

I tried on a few hats and fell in love with this Floppy hat!

 Its pure wool and fits so perfectly!

I'm not a big spender,but I feel that when choosing a hat for your wardrobe,

 you should invest in something a little bit more expensive. 

A good quality hat will fit better, and last years!! 

I traveled all around Cali with this hat on and took it on the plane too.

 Even after storing it for almost a year in my closet it still fits and looks beautiful! 

I'd like to get at least one or 2 more hats..

Their so much fun to wear, and really make a statement!

This summer I'd love to show you even more unique looks using more bold hats!

Flower Child

On my trip to California San Francisco was an amazing city!!!  

Haight Ashbury was the highlight of my San Francisco trip.

 At Haight Ashbury there was so much culture from the music scene of the 1960s.

 It inspired me to put this Flower power inspired look together…

This boho dress from Shabbybabe is a true patchwork hippie dress. 

The multicolor floral print is incredible! 

The purple ruffle and bodice both match so perfectly!

 I wore this dress all throughout San Francisco on my nights out in the city. 

I received so many compliments on it. 

A denim jacket tones down this dress a notch if your looking for a more casual look. 

To complete this outfit I wore my tan Jeffrey Campbell boots from Free People with it. 

I have 2 pairs of these boots because they match every dress so well! 

The boots were well worth the investment. 

I find that its hard to find a nice summer boot to put with midi dresses in the summer. 

If your looking for that perfect boot, I suggest these Jeffrey Campbell ones..

I'm definitely going to miss San Francisco. Never have I seen so many gorgeous coastlines and bridges.

The San Francisco hills were insane! I can't wait to visit again soon!

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!
