COACHELLA

Boho beauties dripping in festival fare, frolicking about in wide open fields and dancing to incredible music.

I am so relieved I am not a jealous person!

Sunshine and good tunes and loads and loads of fashion…uggg…maybe one day.

Coachella is on my short list.  Until then, I will just admire from afar and find loads of inspiration for summer looks and festival style of my own.  Shaky Knees and Bonnarro are much closer to home.

Also, Poppy Delevinge sure is a lucky girl!  

A bachelorette party in Palm Springs during the biggest music fest of the year, plus it's all sponsored by a pretty rad clothing line.  Dreamy!  Who else could pull off a leather moto jacket with a bikini?  Nobody.

It's probably gonna be lots of hippy dippy/rock and roll/boho/gyspet love on the blog all week long.  Just so you know.

BEAUTY

 I totally chopped my hair!

Saturday I decided it was time to give up the long locks (that I have had most all of my life) and the dream of boho braids and flowing hair from the perfect gypset center-part.  The reality is most of the time my hair feels heavy and messy and frizzy and well, generally speaking- unimpressive.

So, armed with a  few of these images that I endlessly collect and pos,t I decided to make a major change.

The good news is that I love it!

I had a moment.  I freaked out.  But now I love it.

I don't want to be too dramatic.  I didn't' shave my head.  My hair does not touch my shoulders and my pony tail is teeny tiny.  But that's pretty major for me.
