we forged ahead, knowing full well we had no idea where we'd end up.

the night began beautifully yet ended in a slam.

now, i'm waaaay behind on this here blog+thus, i'm only just now finally telling you that the open ocean show at secret project robot was mad good-these gals just keep getting better and looking hotter..the experience was made all the more complete with fireworks and babes aplenty...


+speaking of these righteous babes...

the stylish and stunning bassist, accessories editor, artist and all around sweetheart, miss sarah kuhn, has gone ahead and designed the most covetable camera straps i've EVER seen!!!

i mean, you know i love some chanel+am never without my camera..so, here, now i present you with the genius (and remarkably affordable) SFK camera straps..go to her site and order one or ten! i'm eagerly waiting on the classic gold and black but am seriously considering the turquoise and silver as an awesome alternate.

for more on this check out her recent write ups on refinery29 and on white lightning...

i found you on the corner of santa monica and la cienega.

holy canoli.....i haven't been able to get this taio cruz 'dynamite' situation outta my brain since it hit me on a cali cruise last week. +yes it's terrible on the first listen but too catchy to stop from repeating.....and singing along to..and sharing with other people..and searching the radio constantly for...and generally being embarrassingly jazzed on a top 5 summer anthem....

p.s. check out last weeks new york magazine interview with the pop genius, dr. luke, who's the orchestrator behind this jam, california gurls, and party in the u.s.a.

take the money and run (who hoo hooo).

so, i've got many many many fotos to share from this wild adventure i've been on for the last 2 weeks, from weddingtimes, to runways, to disneyland, to fireworks over the valley and so much space in between.
i've moved residences every 2 days for weeks+it's getting kind of craycray. no scratch that, it's just been a CRAZY couple of weeks.
i'll be back on the right coast as of thursday and will start jamming these fotos up.
sorry for the delay but i sure hope you've had a brilliant star spangled couple of days/weeks.
