we touched down to our own private idaho, jersey style.

our RAINBOW COUNTRY editorial is finally up on stylecaster.com!!!!
please go ahead+have a lookee see at it here.

here are some of the behind the scenes shots from our beautiful day in princeton.


















thanks to everyone who participated in making this shoot such a slamjam success!!!

notably-my enormously awesomesauce collaborators-mi senor, turner, erica, emily + some of our ecofriend designers angela from cheekie and caitlin from mosciun.

thank you again to our lovely model vika, who was quite the trooper-hanging in the hammock for the first and climbing that big old tree in suede, on top of running, jumping and even chomping on flowers for us-it was a pleasure on our part (and hopefully you weren't lying when you said you had fun;)

thank you to blake (+his darling assistant, irina) for being such a great personable and delightful director (i've embedded the-slightly embarrassing-video interview below ). +last but not least, thanks to dad for stopping by to say hi and to mom for letting us use your home, kitchen and landscaped lushness for our shoot!

1. retrosuperfuture
2. complex geometries
3. ASHISH amazeballs...can't you just imagine these as the basic ingredient for a perfect summer night.
4. tomas maier maillot.
5. kind of obsessed with these rachel comey sir barton boots.
6. this mary meyer dress seems so right on an excessive amount of levels.
7. rachel allegra does it again and this time in a perfect tie dye to die for.
8. i'm ready to stroke these oak's.
9. no bigs, just a little T. Anthony hat hard case to keep my sunhat and dilly dally necessities.
10. if you know me in IRL, you know i'm majorly keen on the summer fan. this one would be perfect for the dressier nights of the sweltering summer ahead.
11. i feel like this chromat underwire cage would be great over a couple of my victorian dresses.
12. alexander wang T caftan
13. the other covetable gilded comey.
14. no 6 slasher silk t
15. my old zimmerman bikini is on it's last legs, perhaps a replacement is in order?
16. while we're add it, i'll take some art deco divine from doyle+doyle.
17. this agathe snow piece reminds me of my only just begun dreamcatcher project.
18. can't recall whose harness this is..bliss lau perhaps?
19. these jeremy scott flinstones jams would be kinda kookishly cute poolside. (if i weren't the barefoot type of gal)
20. i've been wearing my topshop boutique fancy croptop so much i think it might be time to get another. i'd say that this zimmerman would hit the mark perfectly.
21. last but not least the class act of medicine pouches by wendy nichols. (who i met the other night at the court party-she was as beautiful, groovy+nice as one would assume.)

oh AND:

say hello to my new-in-the-future friends.
miss chloe sevigny has done it again...these showboats need to live with me. i've irrationally fallen in love and am asking them to move in before we've even met. (thanks for the tip off laia!)

sometimes it's to hot to blog.

well, actually i've just been busy doing many things to keep up on this here besos jam, so sorry about that..
some of these activities inlude: doing a major studio rehaul, painting, organizing the collection project, BBQ-ing, beach-ing, meetings, gardening, selling clothes, and generally trying not to schvitz through everything too much. (what happened to spring?? it's like 9 million degrees in my apartment right now and it feels too early to turn on the AC-a slippery slope as once it's on, it's hard to turn off).
anyhoo, i've got loads of pictures to share and a long overdue outfit post-i promise to try to get that up here in the next week! hope y'all are enjoying your spring flings.

spring sails in+your wishes won't fail.

we'll be at hester street fair tomorrow all day selling vintage...so, if you haven't bopped out of the city for the weekend, come by and get some cheap+rad vintage awesome!! (honestly by the end of the day i might be giving stuff away..i mean, i don't want to bring this stuff home!)

the rain passed and we awoke in a blue cloud.

here are a few (unretouched+screengrab-ed) out takes from the glamour hippy story xabi+i shot last week for stylecaster.
we had a super fun slamjam shoot with a great team including two of my favorite stylists, turner+erica. the lovely model miss vika kuropyatnikova was a total trooper, climbing trees, teetering on rooftops in heels, running and jumping through fields and generally being completely stunning+a joy to work with..
+of course, i'll surely let you know when the editorial launches officially.
