Coachella Blues

I have been a fan of Kate Bosworth and stylist Cher Coulter's Jewelry line JewlMint ever since I discovered them in Nylon Magazine March 2011 issue. I was drawn to their tribal vintage inspired pieces. The jewelry is dainty and perfect for layering. I recently stumbled across their Facebook page and noticed that they were having a contest to win two pieces from their line by posting a potential outfit for Coachella. Fringe, denim shorts, piles of vintage jewelry, feathass in my hair, braids, and a colorful embroidered/beaded satchel- my Coachella outfit mash up! Unfortunately I am not attending, but this is my outfit that I would boogie on down to the tunes of the Black Keys and swaying to the melodies of Angus and Julia Stone. MAN OH MAN! Why does the line up have to be soooo freaking awesome??!?!

FBJ meets Emily Gummig

Vintage clothing and accessories, Jeffrey Campbell Clip wooden wedges

I had the lovely pleasure to shoot with the creative, spunky, spontaneous, funky Emily Gummig! We met at the Coffee Bean while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to order, she recommended an iced americano and was not shy at all to let me know how much she liked my outfit(denim cut offs, red printed poncho, lace kimono, and urban outfitters suede brown boots, piled on jewelry with my two day unwashed hair)-THANKS! We sparked up a convo. about our addiction to coffee, art, self expression, fashion and photography... Met up at a later day to collaborate on ideas-the end result a short shoot in the woods to add to her spring collection! The joy of networking and meeting new people! Stay Tuned for future projects with the outrageous and talented Emily Gummig! In the meantime step into her trippy visual world of photography. CHECK IT OUT HERE.

The perks of having my BFF as my personal makeup artist! Jaydee's tips for achieving this look:

I am a strong believer in anything Too Faced, especially their eye and lip pallets! They are definitely worth every penny. For eye makeup I decided to go for a softer smokey eye, using the 'nice' side of my naughty & nice Too Faced pallet. The colors used are soft and darker shades of brown. I used Joana's own black liner to accentuate this look, with a little liner in the inner eye that gradually became thicker towards her outer eye, which adds depth to the look. I used my favorite Nars lipstick called 'Roman Holiday'. It's the perfect pink shade for this Spring! To make the look an even softer pink I used a lilac color gloss by Revlon called 'Lilac Pastelle'. I used some Sun Bunny Bronzer by Too Faced to finish off the look and voila! You have a simple, yet chic look for Spring that takes only minutes to achieve.

To The City

These floral shorts are actually a two piece set and came with a vest. I just wanted the vest but why not rock the granny shorts! This was my not so festive St.Patty's day attire besides the green stones on my Kenneth Cole ring and bracelet.

I am fleeing to the city...NEW YORK CITY for spring break with my amazing PLASTICS (my girls). I can hardly hold in my excitement ever since my first trip I've been daydreaming about moving there...One of these days-I Shall! I am infatuated with everything about NY especially how freely everyone dresses...I am all for that! In the process of packing, some inspirational photos for possible outfits..Knit socks with open toe heels, sky high wedges, structured purses, cute coats, layers and pops of color...Can not wait to shop, eat everywhere, roam the city streets at night and simply breathe it all in...

The lovely Vienna blessed me with it's presence on my birthday...A wonderful surprise gift from Ron Alan, thank you so much for being so hyped about my B-Day (and about these shoes)!!! He's super impressive when it comes to knowing which shoes are hot or not! We took her out for a stroll to go dress hunting. These wedges are super comfortable and I absolutely love the height on them. I am slowly working up a collection of Jeffrey Campbell's all thanks to Plum for Polly's selection!! Ron Alan is their all kinds of amazing photographer and has got me hooked! March Madness is going on, you don't want to miss out so chchcheck it out!!! The gang and I had a sneak peak on all the new arrivals for Spring-from colorful prints and patterns to flowy and drapey silhouettes! Dave from The Life Infinity Productions was there to take us behind the scenes!

Red and Blue Velvet Pancakes

There was only one thing on my mind this past week...The promise Ron Alan made to take me to get some red and blue velvet pancakes! So to Larchmont Bungalow we go! I could see why this is LaLions favorite cafe! I wanted so many things on the menu but had to get what I came in for! Pancakes for lunch is the best THANKS Ron Alan! We couldn't just have lunch in Larchmont without visiting LF Stores...The 60% off sale was still going on and I was hoping to walk away with shoes perhaps some new Jeffrey Campbell's. I had no luck in the shoe department but walked away with a cute black top that draped in the back and was short in the front.Decided to stop by my neighborhood park to take photos as the sun set. Pros and Cons to this button up I consider a dress; PROS: the kimono/drapey features, the floral print and the new discovery of pockets!...CON: it's a triple XL and how it appears to make me look just like that...Nothing a waist belt can't fix!
