I've found a new brand fave, Indy Brand Clothing. I'm loving this vintage western inspired "Keep it rad" tee that goes perfectly with my new Bailey Berger Straw hat. 

Amboy Crater is a 6,000-year-old cinder cone volcano that rises above a lava field. I loved seeing all the plants spring up from the black lava forms. New life sprouted from the darkness.

Kayves musical influences include Joy Division, Foals, Interpol, The Cure, and Tame Impala. The band is working on an EP to keep the momentum going after a promising start at Coachella. 

An interview with Marlena of Marlena Jarjoura Jewelry. Marlena combines crystals with wire wraps to create gorgeous earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Living in a little off-the-grid cabin, she is inspired everyday by the nature that surrounds her.

It's Spring! Time to stock stocking up on some warmer weather essentials. Here are a few faves I dug up from some of my favorite brands. Enjoy!

I was excited to take Bailey's Cudmore Hat with me to Coachella weekend one as the perfect accessory. This two toned style is western inspired, and hand woven in Ecuador. It's 100% my style, a little bit of southwest, a little latin influenced, and perfect for any of my many tips to the desert. 

Kyoto is old Japan, there are so many beautiful historic sites to see all over the city and just beyond. We enjoyed the light jazz 20s throwback lounges and the plethora of intriguing temples. I left wishing I had more time to explore.

Our visit to Sedona was a much needed escape from the big bad city and into such a beautiful and calming environment. We explored and meditated, rode ATVs and attended a shaman breathworks ceremony. It was an eye opening experience in a magical and mystical city filled with red rocks.

Coachella is around the corner, time to start planning for the bohemian festival style of the desert with clothes from two of my favorites, Planet Blue and Free People.

The Lost Coast is the most undeveloped and remote portion of the California coast. The stretch is 24.6 miles, a hefty undertaking for a the 48 hours we allotted ourselves to hike it. I highly recommend hiking this trail, but learn from our mistakes, and prep accordingly.

Santa Barbara is a quick two hour drive from L.A.. Better yet, you can take the Surfliner, a train that goes through a lot of California’s major coastal cities. The Pacific Surfliner drops you off in Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone, a wino’s dream.

Raden has added a built in charging station to their luggage, which is the best feature by far, and really what makes it stand apart.
