As I’ve last shared in one of my recent posts, my friend Mo and her business partner Karen are launching Buttons and Bows, a designer vintage and shop located in the heart of Downtown LA. The launch party is tomorrow night with an after party located in one of my new favorite spots, The Pattern Bar. We shot this editorial inspired by our mutual obsession over Bianca Jagger struttin’ her stuff in New York City during the sixties and seventies. To pay that homage, we whipped out all the cream, beige and snake skin prints, along with pieces from the Studio 54 era that had a subtle, dance-floor ready vibe. All tagged pieces displayed above are available for sale at Buttons and Bows. You can find more details on the event over at Racked LA, hope to catch you guys there!

paisley prints

Zara Printed Blazer & Draw String Shorts / Helmut Lang Basic Tee

Spent one of the days road tripping through the island in my favorite type of get up: A light blazer and short combo with the most basic of staple tees. Even though the majority of the ride was terrifying (aka. constantly in fear that the rental car would break down at any moment), taking refuge every so often at the beach front souvenir shops filled with nothing but overpriced water and hammocks served to be the best type of breather in a tropical heat. In one of those stops, I shot by these rocky shores right before heading to Mr. Sancho’s–a sea side playground filled with the type of recreational activities you’d find on a Japanese game shows. Let’s just say crossing through an inflatable balance beam on the water is a lot harder than it looks–and falling off? A lot more painful too.

vacation luxe

Finders Keepers Playsuit via Karmaloop / Rebecca Minkoff Straw Mac  / Chloé Gilded Sandals / Forever 21 Necklace & Bracelets

I’m so enthralled with anything Finders Keepers at the moment. In particular this thin, bright playsuit was perfect for the paradise back drop that greeted me once I arrived to Cozumel. The breezy, pleated shorts and peek-a-boo cut out had bare just the right amount of skin for that warm Caribbean afternoon. I got back home late last night and as I usually do after coming home from a vacation, I felt a twinge of sadness leaving the island. Perhaps it was the reality call of a long week of school waiting for me or the inclination to keep traveling, in hopes to spend every waking moment carelessly hanging out in the sun, but traveling whether it’s for work or play always pushes me to live for the moment, instead of planning for them. But with Coachella in less than two weeks away and summer vacation in June, here’s to a few weeks of day dream and planning more travels to feed a hungry, free spirited soul.
