It's Not About Pretty

This was a 3 week shoot I styled with MLB players for New Era. It took us from a studio in Los Angeles, to MLB training camps in Florida and then onto Arizona. Pretty sweet trip and a great crew!

We don’t have much of a winter here in Southern California, but that doesn’t mean I’m not looking forward to spring, which generally brings us more sunshine and warmer temps. While I’m waiting I decided to brighten up my home office this weekend with some color to get me ready. Happy Monday!!  xx Here’s the bonus —> everything above was purchased at Target. How easy is that!?

    Last  day to save on any apparel, beanies & hats in the Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word online store. Get them at a discount while you can!

  I was extremely honored to be asked to speak at TEDxYouth Santa Monica a few months back. OK, I was more than honored – I was stoked!  I decided back in June of last year that I wanted to do a TEDx talk at some point in my life, but I really had no idea of how to go about it, or who to approach. It turns out that a really cool woman (a previous Tedx speaker herself) had been following me on Facebook, liked what I had to say about empowering young women via my Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word platform and suggested me to one of the TEDx event organizers.

When we started looking closely at her posts, we also realized that the girl has seriously rad style! From unmatched socks, and stripes paired with polka dots, to faux fur vests, Kendra is changing the way people think about how “skater girls” look. And she’s doing it with unparallelled style. I pretty much wake up and jump over to her page to see what she has posted – yeah, I’m obsessed. You may just want to follow her at @seekendraskate – because her skating and outfit choices will inspire you daily.

Hitting the road again, this time for 2 weeks shooting pro baseball players with New Era in Florida and Arizona.
