It's Not About Pretty

  Pretty stoked to see that the new “Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word” board is featured on the Girls Skate Network today – click HERE to see the entire article! You can also now check out the new “Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word” Facebook page that gives you all the launch info, Vans Warped Tour dates, give-a-ways we have lined up  & more! Thanks as always to Dusters California , & Longboarding for Peace for making this board happen.  I am proud to say that a portion of the proceeds go to  GRO – (Girl Riders Organization) so girls can have a safe, fun, environment to learn action sports.  

A little behind the scenes action from Revolve and Bambi. I can’t ever seem to ever get enough of that girl. *sigh*

The Wild Magazine / via Oracle Fox  I’m telling you – skateboards are the new fashion statement.  Here’s another recent spread from The Wild Magazine . But can we stop and just talk about that T-Shirt for a second? Yeah, that. I must have. On another note that I think most of you might be able to relate to ,  I woke up from a dream this morning that I somehow scored $2,200 leather pants in a awesome burgundy color, on sale for $50. When I realized it had only been a very vivid dream and not reality, I was pretty bummed. I never seem to be this lucky when shopping, but maybe its a sign? So I am stepping into Thursday with the attitude that today is my lucky day!  Have a great one!  

Photos: Jay Michelfelder Remember when I flew off to Vegas right before Christmas but couldn’t say what shoot I was styling?  So here’s the scoop.  Yep, I got to spend the day shooting Major League baseball player Bryce Harper, for these awesome Under Armour ads. We were at cool gym to start our day with Bryce working out hard for a few hours, and ended up in the evening at the penthouse suite at The Palms Hotel doing the gorgeous underwear shots looking out above the Las Vegas strip. Pretty much an awesome shoot. I am a lucky girl. I just realized that every time I get sent to Vegas it’s always for baseball  shoots lately – weird right? Remember this one ?

I think we all feel like it signifies the “official” start to summer and who doesn’t love summer? I can’t think of anything better to do for the next 3 days than hanging at the beach, soaking up sun, kicking it with friends at night for a BBQ or two, and riding my vespa, bike or walking wherever I want to go instead of being in the car. Clothes? I plan on keeping it simple with shorts, a tank, a swimsuit underneath and some sandals. This look is one of my fav’s on rotation for the next few days. Hope you have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!  

Photos: Sebastian Faena OK I’m not technically “on safari”, but I am on location most of this week, and I get to hang out at a remote, beautiful beach doing a pretty cool shoot – does that count?  This whole editorial spread by who else?  Carine Roitfeld, made me stop and look again and again. Something a lot of fashion images don’t make me do theses day. Kinda loving it.
