Escape At Home.

Finally had a bit of time off between traveling for shoots to spend some time here at home, so I started working on a little revamp of our beach house. When I’m not traveling for work I love being home. We live three blocks from the beach and have great natural light in our house and deck from morning until sunset so I like to stay home and really enjoy where we live.

First up was the mini revamp of our bedroom…

We already had the vintage wrought iron bed & the bedside table so I swapped out our usual neutral color jute rug for this Tuscan Moroccan shag rug which helped create a bit softer look with some nice texture to set the tone.

Unexpected and cost effective finds at Target helped keep me on budget. My favs from Target are the indigo blue tie-dye stool at foot of bed and the wicker basket rimmed in white that I use to put my stash of magazines in.  I decided to splurge on some new white  Matteo sheets in a yummy vintage linen fabric to brighten up the small space. The boho chic duvet cover by Matteo was a major splurge and something I wasn’t planning on purchasing but it became a no brainer, as it has a beachy/1970’s vibe that I love.

I wanted to create a relaxing space in our 60’s beach house that felt like summer year round,  and I finally feel like I got that accomplished with minimal effort & time and I couldn’t  be happier!

P.S. Everyone has been asking so I want to share where that amazing ESCAPE travel bag is from. It’s by  Forest Bound, I can’t recommend their bags highly enough – super cool, vintage materials  and they hold up to abuse, and if you know how much I travel you know things don’t  usually last long with me, (due to wear)  so that’s saying a lot!

Wrought Iron Bed – Vintage full size bed & we went to a welding shop & had inches added so it  would fit a queen size mattress

Slight distressed wood table – vintage

Agenda 2014

Image
  I have to say, Agenda is my favorite trade show that I go to during the year. With it’s perfect mix of action sports x lifestyle it’s everything I love. I was great seeing brands like Art of Board (amazing what they are doing!), Ollo Clip (how sweet is that set up!?), Nixon, my old friend Jay Adams and Z-Flex, art work by the rad Craig Stecyk, and I have to share that everyone was talking about the black neoprene bikini by Tavik . Sexy! This year was even better than ever with the new WMN’s section of the show that was added. A lot of great brands that I know and love were grouped together for easy viewing and placing orders.  Nice to see younger companies like The Seea and Mint Clothing   at Agenda for their first time joining brands like Wildfox, Nasty Girl and more.. I always make time to go to Agenda to visit some of my existing clients, and also to see what’s new that might work for photo shoots or editorial pieces I have coming up in t...

The Versastyle

all images via The Versastyle Sometimes you meet the coolest people when you least expect it… I was looking for blogs one day  that were not the “cookie cutter” fashion blogs I kept seeing everywhere – you know the ones – where the girls are wearing the exact same thing from blog to blog, and usually look like they are “trying too hard”. Ugh.  I luckily stumbled  across Annette from  The Versastyle  late one night, and I was hooked. Her sport x fashion posts that usually feature her wearing something rad that’s black or white, plus some insanely cool heels, inspired me. Little did I know that we’d start connecting via the internet and that 2 years down the road I’d eventually find myself at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles talking and laughing about everything under the sun with this rad style maven. If you haven’t guessed it already, Annette is my kind of badass girl from head to toe. In fact the quote on her...

"Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word" at TEDxYouth

Image
Photos: Donna Gast, Amanda Looker, Ian Logan I had the absolute pleasure of speaking at TEDxYouth Santa Monica this weekend. My talk was on my experiences in  skateboarding, and what young girls (in general) can do to empower themselves in today’s world. I will be excited to share it with all of you when it comes out on the TEDx Youtube channel soon! HUGE thanks to my lovely friend & amazing make-up artist  Donna Gast , who graciously did my hair & make-up for this event. Donna works with me on many advertising shoots and flew back from another shoot just in time to help me out and make me feel beautiful – I really appreciated it! Another RAD shout out goes to the lovely Rachel Meiss of Rachel Meis Communications and fabulous  jewelry designer Jane Basch, who made me this beautiful necklace that says “GIRL” for my TEDx talk – the title of my talk was “Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word”.  So perfect – everyone kept commenting on it!
