California Deams

I have so much catching up to do here. So much has happened and so much is happening. I struggle to keep up with it at times. 

I wanted to share some photos from my last trip to California in August. Yes, it's very late but I figured something a little different from fashion posts would be a refreshing start to the coming spring where I will be posting much more fashion posts.

California was a much needed and lovely escape for me this last summer. A lot was going on in my head and in my life and it was nice to "run away" from it for a few days and just enjoy time with dear friends and new scenery. I find the hiking there as a spiritual adventure. Walking among the redwoods is so humbling and it really helps put yourself into perspective with the rest of the world. We are all small, and I think we forget that. Although we can do big things, we always remain small.

Stay humble.

All photos remain unedited. Taken with my old Canon Rebel xTi, 50mm 1.8/f Lens.

Siren of the Dark Waters - OOTD

As some of you may know, I did a collaboration with one of my favorite designers, Crossfox! Her clothing is so inspiring and I was given the honor of modeling two pieces from her collection. Here I'm wearing her Distressed Backless Siren Dress. I really felt like I became Ghost Siren while modeling this.

I love where the dress sits on your back. It's so sensual and flattering.

The Tattered appearace really makes the dress so unique. I felt magical, dark, and elegant wearing this. When you walk it flows so nicely.

I also like the cut of the bottom half of the skirt and how it's able to reveal some leg. I mean, who doesn't like some leg, am I right?

This dress will satisfy all of your alternative fashion needs. I really think it can be worn formally and casually which is a wonderful thing to own. Weather wise I'd say it's prefect for Late Spring and Early Summer.

Something wicked this way comes...

Ah, it's almost the end of the summer! I find myself complaining about weather a lot. I really have trouble tolerating extreme heat and cold, though cold has become easier to tolerate. Today was finally an okay day, temperature wise, and I was able to put on some dark drabs and my new boots without melting.
