Roar

I stumbled across these incredible photos of teenage Melanie Griffith & her mother Tippi Hedren lounging around in their family home in Sherman Oaks with their pet lion (!!) Neil & couldn't resist sharing. I think I spent the entirety of 1989 - 1994 dreaming for the exact same thing. Why can't I have a pet lion?? Lucky Melanie Griffith.

Dusen Dusen x Nordstrom

Loved seeing all these pretty Dusen Dusen pieces through Nordstrom's eye. They did such a fantastic job capturing them. Dusen Dusen, along with several other great designers, are a part of Nordstrom's current Pop-In shop curated by LA's Poketo. Pop on over to their blog for a great interview with Dusen creator, Ellen & her thoughts on Salvation Mountain, why she's digging sports as of late & the comforting powers of the Washington Monument.

BTW, that green pretty & that striped black, blue & red number are both available (& on sale!) in the shop. Jus'sayin.

Nicole Lesser

I've been admiring Nicole Lesser's work from afar ever since a friend of mine introduced me to it. I love her eye -- she provides this winking look into such quiet, intimate moments. Couple that with a bit of grit & a splash of color & I'm sunk. Nicole has worked with everyone from Rolling Stone to V Magazine to Vice -- it's so exciting to see young, talented gals out there making themselves known. Happily, I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity to work with Los Angeles base photographer, Nicole Lesser on my most recent lookbook. Explore more of her work here.

Wide Eyed Legless x Hackwith Design House

Wide Eyed Legless is one of my favorite minimalist blogs to click through. Hackwith Design House is one of my favorite minimalist clothing lines. So naturally when these two ladies get together I perk up. Madelynn of WEL captured the latest releases from Hackwith with such haunting beauty. 

Texas Girls

I love looking at Texas, my great, dusty, wide-open, big skyed home state, through the eye of Jon Saltzman. His photo blog, Texas Girls, encapsulates the mood of muggy summers, cold beer, road trips, back yard nights, prickly pears & all the other gorgeous things that make Texas .. well, Texas.
