Hello December

12/05/2017 By Sarah Leave a Comment

December has rolled around and it’s finally cold enough to wear a coat in California! The first coat I wanted to style was this faux suede/fur coat from Carve Designs. It’s the softest thing ever, and looks gorgeous on. I’m in love with anything beige right now- I think it’s my color of the season and I’m collecting so many beige pieces that I’m excited to style this month!

One of my favorite trends this season has to be the leather pants or leggings look. This was my go-to outfit while running around Paris, as it’s so easy to pair with just about anything- chunky sweater, moto coat, tee shirt, dressy top, you name it! I personally love wearing them with heel boots or furry mules. They have a sort of retro feel to them, especially when paired with a baker boy cap! It’s just an altogether easy and stylish outfit you can style multiple ways and never get tired of this season!

Paris from my Window

12/01/2017 By Sarah Leave a Comment

Our last days in Paris brought us to the coziest little hotel in Bonne Nouvelle. It wasn’t planned, we ended up here on a whim. The hotel was tucked away on a quiet street. It was Sunday morning, and it had just rained. The church bells were ringing through the empty streets, and I couldn’t have been more in love or more at home, there in that moment.

We checked in and rode the lift to the 4th floor, where we had to climb the spiraling stairway with dizzying striped carpet to our room on the 5th floor. It was so quaint, quiet, and warm. Not like the somewhat old and drafty, street-noise-ridden places one might equate with this city that never sleeps. It felt like we had the whole hotel… no, the whole neighborhood to ourselves! The only person we saw in the hotel was the lovely lady concierge, who was so helpful to us.

It was one of the moments we got to slow down during the craziness of Fashion Week. I spent a while leaning out the window, staring out across the rooftops, watching the Eiffel Tower disappear and reappear again from the low clouds. Parisians came and went from their windows. Because window life is an actual thing in this city. Below, a young man smoked a cigarette out the window across from us. And when he left, his lover appeared to cut fruit and cheese on the table. Pigeons cooed on windowsills, and voices echoed softly down the cobblestone streets, but the somber sleepiness of Paris on Sunday filled the rainy air.

We had to run for baguettes and cheese, of course, but on Sundays almost everywhere is closed in Paris. So we had to forgo the iPhone GPS and follow our instinct. Or, well, stalk people who were walking the streets with baguettes under their arm, until we found our way to the nearest Boulangerie that was still open. We were pretty stoked, considering we didn’t bring any food with us to our hotel, and had to head to a fashion show in the evening.

The baguette expedition led us to one of the prettiest streets one thinks of as the iconic Paris. Well, Paris if full of so many types of areas and cliches. But I suppose this is the vibe that sings the same frequency as my soul, because I was so utterly happy. The area really took hold of my heart with it’s timeless vibes, and I’m so glad we got to experience it. Our baguette adventure and a walk through the streets of Bonne Nouvelle will be coming up next to the blog, so stay tuned!

Palais Royal Gardens

11/29/2017 By Sarah Leave a Comment

To me, there’s no place more romantic than where Parisian architecture and gardens meet. And Palais Royal is the coziest and quaintest of them all. In the middle of the city, almost hidden to those who might not know about it, lies the courtyard inside the Palais Royal. Columns frame in a “secret” garden, with little cafes and restaurants all along the perimeter. Rows of trees, one of Paris’s signature features, take you from one end to the other, with a fountain and small garden between.

Each time I return to Jardins du Palais-Royal, it’s just as beautiful as I remember. It feels special to me, knowing that there are few places on earth where a beautiful palace garden has been transformed into a public park where you can visit for free whenever you feel like reading a book in the sunshine, amidst the beauty. I think that’s what strikes me the most about Paris. The history and the architecture intrigues and inspires me. I am in love with the elegance and charm that was put into every corner of this city, and it’s a love that started small and grew over my multiple trips there. You have to really delve deep into the details of Paris to find its magic, because it’s not like what the movies depict. Once you see Paris for what she really is, you will love her like no other.

Holiday Glamping

11/28/2017 By Sarah Leave a Comment

California has presented us with such a warm holiday season… though I keep wishing for sweater and coat weather, it’s made Glamping all the more possible!

With all the cozy comfortable weather, I picked up an all new mattress from Lull to set up the ultimate cozy “glamp” situation on our pallet deck overlooking the canyon! Lull’s super easy and affordable, shipped-to-your-door-in-a-box scenario is all one needs to make this perfect scene come to life! We unboxed the mattress, decorated with all the holiday goodness, lit up some candles and lanterns, and toasted with hot chocolate. Perfect for a Netflix and Chill night, literally! I would totally invite friends over for a movie, bonfire, and some spiked egg nog. Now, doesn’t that sound like the best ever?!

Return to Paris + Fashion Week VLOG

11/26/2017 By Sarah Leave a Comment

It’s finally here! From Paris life to Fashion Week, follow along as we cover the full experience!

So it took about a month for me to go through ALL our footage from our recent Paris trip, color grade it by hand with my own grading, and cut it together. Not to mention, picking the music was very time consuming, as I wanted it to reflect the music we discovered and listened to on the trip! That really brings the memories to life for me! (You can follow the playlist from the video here!)

Normally when going on trips and creating content, I have a workflow I always stick to regarding shooting video (and photos as well)! We usually create content “by outfit”, and I always plan to make multiple videos from all the crazy amounts of footage per day/per outfit. But as you may have noticed, my last month-long Paris trip gave us SOOOO much content that I haven’t even had the time to go through it all, or color grade/cut together more than a few videos. And this is 6 months later! There’s still so much content left from that trip (which I’m editing up next!), that I didn’t want my new Paris memories to sit on a hard drive and go unseen.

Shooting video is actually more fulfilling to me than doing photos, as the scene really gets to come to life and I feel able to express more through moving picture. I’ve never felt like a photo model, and feel my real features and personality come through better in movement. I’m a creative director above all things, so having hands on with something more in-depth such as the process of directing video, and spending countless hours on the color/tones, really stimulates my creativity. I get to share something more personal, more real, and more beautiful.

When I got back from Paris this time, I felt like I wanted to be even MORE personal, and decided to attempt editing this recap more in a VLOG style. Well, I didn’t plan on that at all when filming, so I had no DSLR content of us BTS or talking. Everything we normally shoot is professional high quality content, whether for personal creative projects or client work. Luckily, I save all my Instagram Stories, like the memory hoarder I am, so I decided ‘why not include them?’ to give you a little taste of the Real Life side of our travels and work.

To go from shooting strictly fashion and lifestyle films to more of a VLOG was never on my mind before now, but I realized lately I really want to give a rounder view on who I am, and what we do. Not to mention, the Paris experience is REALLY hard to sum up in just fashion videos!

So, let me know your thoughts on getting a little more personal with us on our trip! Because I’m taking your tips for our next video/Vlog!
