It’s sad how many cool pics and looks I’ve forgotten to post on here. But you know what? Looks like this are timeless, and does it really matter if it’s from a year or so ago? Nope. (Also, I’m anxiously counting down the days until I’m headed back to Hawaii for a few days, so yeah, that’s another reason.) Big Island golden hour during the windiest trip ever. It was straight-up hilarious at times. But more often than not, it’s the trips that don’t go as planned that have so many memories. I’ll spare you a recap, for now. But, this was the most dressed up I really ever got, or tend to ever get ..read more

I’m always searching for fun, unique, and well-made pieces with a touch of tropical, retro, or radness to them. So, I figured why not put these finds up in the shop? It gives me an excuse to grab the stuff as I find it, rather than tell myself I don’t need it. So…say hi to Goldfish Kiss Thrifts. I’m starting small and just launching the darn thing before I keep telling myself it needs more, more, moooooore. Figured I’ll keep on adding pieces as I find them. Plus, it’s much easier to keep it fresh and fun for you all that way, too. So be sure to keep on checking in for more surprises. There ar ..read more

    A common question I am asked is if I have any tips for organizing jewelry. Fact: I am not an organized person, and I kind of find the beauty in chaos. But hey, I can appreciate the attempt. So, here are my tips, and how I organize my jewelry. The main thing, which isn’t photographed because they’re hanging in my closet in a room with zero natural lighting at the end of the rod after a blazer and a flannel – are these hanging jewelry organizers. They’re a blessing and do keep things sorted and organized.  Little pockets on one side, and loops on the other to hang necklaces ..read more

Fall style = just add some plaid or some shells. Sorry, nothing profound to say at the moment, but here are a few things that make me smile. Top to Bottom: • Long, kinda oversized plaid coat, goes over anything and instantly says fall, with zero effort. I found mine on TheRealReal for $40 (looking for a way to share my finds on here because that site is a gold mine) – And jeans are Weekenders by MOTHER aka my favorite style they make. This pair is like 6 or 7 years old. Oh Yeah P448 kicks • Always trying to hear the ocean – Adove Roden and Puka Perri earrings, and Goldie Top with cool details ..read more

Here are a few combos from this summer that made me look way more stylish than I am. I swear, the less effort and more sweat, the better it all turns out. If I’d link everything pictured, I’d be crosseyed and it’d be an essay. So, if anyone wants any links or info about what’s what, shoot me a comment and I’ll get back to ya. Summertime style, I sure do love you, even if I don’t photograph it as much because I’ve been too busy soaking this season up. It’s been rather fun having a nice break from jeans and sweats, too ..read more

‘Twas a good time for a scenic photoshoot…in front of our garage. The lighting was good and no neighbors were out and about. But, most importantly, I had to show off some rad jeans I found on the clearance rack at Nordstrom Rack, and the blonder do with bangs for summer. This is the first time in about four years that I haven’t chopped off my hair for summer. (Last year’s shag was pretty darn fun though) And…I pretty much did it out of sheer laziness. Something about my hair texture’s changed, and it’s just easy to let it air dry, do its thing, then just go in and do some quick waves. What el ..read more

I go through my Google Photos too much sometimes. Maybe it’s the way it’s organized. Especially when I can look at all the photos I took on the beach in Florida. Ohh that backdrop. Ohhh those hot and humid days with white squeaky quartz sand and bright blue hues. Ohh my tan. Ohhh yeah, buddy. So glad I took a bunch of style pics on those vacant beaches too. Because, thankfully, looks like this never go out of style. And I’ve learned I really am not big on trends when it comes to the beach. Consider this my summer-style inspiration. Breezy, simple, with a touch of badass and boho. …and motivat ..read more

The lighting’s been freakishly gorgeous at golden hour these past few weeks, which made for some good glamour shots at home. Luscious lighting, rad stuff. Had to share. • Hair in both is done using  this big ‘ol three barrel wave crimper iron dealio. • The boots are some Luccheses I found in the sale section of their El Paso store six years ago (They’re neon orange) and I found the knit top at Nordstom Rack.( Check here in case it gets added online) • White henley tee is by Goldie, and rings by Puka Perri, Sophia C and Jemma Sands. • And It sounds weird but I’m really excited for it to r ..read more

There are some pretty sweet days tucked away at the end of summer. Places aren’t crowded, but it’s still warm. The water is refreshing, and the weather is delightfully moody. It all came together the other day at one of my favorite spots on the lake. No one else in sight Only the sounds of seaplanes …and many many dock jumps took place after taking these pics. (I tried to get a cannonball pic too, but the self-timer didn’t really cooperate.) Always hold on to summer as long as you can my friends. Always. Rocking an oh-so-lovely dress from JAXSEA Hawaii. It has buttons up both sides so you can ..read more
