This outfit is perfect if you want to spice up your business attire. It effortlessly goes from daytime to evening and let's you feel confident and sexy but still professional. Not to mention it's over the top luxurious with this cashmere skirt from YLIN. You don't have to choose comfort over fashion because with this look, you achieve both. XO

Nothing like a little last minute trip to Hawaii. And when I say last minute, I mean I'm here with nothing but my purse, cell phone and ID. And I'm surprised I managed to grab those with the 25 minutes I had to catch the plane. Thankfully, the girls had a bit more time before their flight and threw a couple of extra items in their suitcase for me.
I'm thinking I could really get used to this kind of travel though... Maybe I'll start a new blog called the "Bagless Traveler" haha. I'm an "overpacker" in every since of the word so not having two suitcases with me at all times is extremely foreign but this whole no stress about what I should wear and the no make-up thing is really growing on me. I feel so much more relaxed and stress free this way. Whereas the thought of not having my belongings with me before would have given me an anxiety attack. Sometimes you just have to step outside the box and try something new. And as hard as it might sound, I highly, HIGHLY recommend taking a trip at some point with absolutely nothing. You'll thank me later... ;)
Anyways the girls and I have been working and shooting for the past three days and have made time this afternoon to enjoy the beach and go for a little surf. Then we catch a redeye to Vegas tonight where we'll be for a total of 6 hrs before hoping back on a plane to LA. Xx

Today I'm in San Francisco visiting my friends and family… The weather is unusually warm for this time of year here but I'm loving every minute of this endless sumer we've been having. My friend Jessica and I are down on Valencia Street right now, which is well known for it's collection of top restaurants and cafe's in the country and we're on the hunt for the best vanilla latte in town.
Here's my outfit for today. My essentials for this winter: over-the-knee boots paired with a comfy, oversized cardigan. Xx

Australia has such a unique fashion sense that clearly distinguishes them from the rest of the world. If there was one word to describe their style it's effortless.. Followed by fearless and sophisticated. Three words every woman should keep in mind when getting dressed or when adding to her wardrobe. FYI.
Although I have a love and appreciation for all fashion, I feel like I've found my nitch with Australian designers. Kind of like that feeling you get when you finally find the perfume that embodies who you are, like it was specially made for you. Yeah. That feeling. One of those designers is Alice McCall. She's created a collection full of modern pieces that will never go out of style, find a special place in your heart and end up permanently residing in your wardrobe.
Today I've featured one of my favorite dresses from their line.
This past month in Australia has been absolutely incredible… An entire month is a long time to commit in a place you've never visited before especially when you throw in the fact that you're giving up spending Christmas and New Years back home. This has easily been one of the best trips of my life and with 30 days in, I'm still not ready to leave. But all good things must come to an end and surely I'll be back again soon. Now it's time for me to catch a red-eye back to the states. And since I travel so often, I decided to post one of my go to travel outfits for you all. A very cosy tracksuit paired with some Vince sneakers = Comfort & Style.
Thank you for having me Australia!
Next stop…… Home :)
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are enjoying the New Year! The girls and I have been busy, busy since arriving back in Sydney. We only have a few glorious days left here before heading back to LA but we still have a lot of work to get done. Hoping to fit a massage in here before the 12 hour flight home :) hehe. Here's a few shots of my outfit from today. Boy am I going to miss this tan and warm weather….XO

Well, the girls and I decided to extend our trip here in Byron because the weather wasn't cooperating with us on the days we planned on shooting. No complaints on this end though, we were more than willing to stay and spend Christmas in this beautiful place! We wrapped the shoot this morning, had a nice Christmas lunch with Tash's family, exchanged gifts and then headed straight to Wategos for a surf session. Now we're home packing our bags and early tomorrow morning, we're heading back to Sydney. Thank you Byron for the amazing memories and thank you Raes on Wategos for the heavenly accommodations! We'll be back soon Xx
We have officially made it to Byron Bay and we have yet to leave the beach. The second we arrived at the house from our 10hr drive, we literally dropped our bags, threw on our bikinis, and headed straight for the ocean and we have been here ever since...
There's something so peaceful about this town. I've never felt such an overwhelming feeling to be relaxed before. It's as if you don't really have a choice, you're just forced to leave all you worries and stress behind. It's quite strange. I mentioned it today to someone and the reply I got was a very casual, "Oh yeah, that's completely normal here. There's something in the air that will force you to be carefree and calm. You just have to go with it." Well guys, with that being said, I've only been here for a two days and I'm already convinced that I could live here a lifetime. So if this is the last you hear from me, I think it's a safe bet where you'll find me. ;)
But seriously, we have seven more wonderful days to go in this paradise and a nice swell is about to roll through here so I'm more than excited about that. Aside from shooting over the next few days, this next week will consist solely of salty hair, sandy skin, zero make-up and the occasional application of sunscreen.
This. Is. Heaven. People.
After a 9 hr flight from Maui, I've made it safe and sound to the "land down under." The girls and I have been running around Sydney, visiting Tash's family in beautiful Bondi Beach, shooting and getting some last minute Christmas gifts for everyone. Tomorrow morning we wake up early and start our 10 hour road trip to Byron Bay and then up to the Gold Coast.
See you all there!
I feel like I've just arrived yet my trip is already almost over… Maui has a very unique way of making you never want to leave the island. I mean, I've extended trips here for weeks on end in the past and never have I gotten the feeling that I've had enough. Maybe it's because there's so much to see and do but after years of coming here, you'd think there would be nothing left to see... I don't know what it is, but I do understand why so many vacationers come here and never leave. And maybe someday I'll be one of those people but for now, it's time to go again. With that said, I'm off to Australia tomorrow for an entire month and that makes leaving here a little bit easier.
Now, it's time to turn off my phone, go for one last surf and spend the rest of my time with family.
See you guys in Australia!
