Surfing is such a mental, physical & spiritual {t r i p} – full of contradictions. On one hand, floating on your board in the middle of the ocean is so serene & meditative. Present-mindedness is requisite. On the other, moments after catching a wave – and feeling the stoke from at once almost defying […]
My best friend and I were in a “band” in high school. We called ourselves Trendy Wendy, for obvious reasons, which have yet to change. We had one die-hard fan; his name was Kyle. He drew this for us and posted it on an old website called MySpace.com: This song’s called You’re Not My Boyfriend. It was […]
i’ve spent a lot of time putting together complex recipes & extravagant menus for others – from perfecting a chocolate chip cookie for a boy i fell in love with (down to number of granules of volcanic sea salt i sprinkle on top) to going to barcelona for one day to learn how to […]
This is a very overdue post! But my darlin’ friend Carlina & I have decided to buckle down on our content posting schedules, so I’m making it a priority. We took a very spontaneous trip to Greece last month and one of the wildest things I learned was that Greece has over 6,000 islands – 227 of […]

Whether we wake up at dawn to climb up to a rooftop in Chelsea, climb over fences into the East River, or climb up steep San Francisco hills, Mitch and I have made some epic sunrise shoots happen over the last few years. A few weeks ago, we were back on the west coast again, and this time […]

We decided to do the girls weekend Healdsburg rather than Sonoma or Napa this trip to give ourselves the opportunity to explore a […]
I was lucky to spend Thanksgiving week in the French Riviera or Côte d’Azur with some of my family this year – and it was such a magical time! Here’s a quick post to share some photographic highlights and quick tips from the region: Nice, France Enjoying le Promenade des Anglais in Nice on a sunny […]
We’re officially into autumn 2015, guys; but problem is: I’m still smitten for summer. No, not this summer – I poured myself into work this summer and left little room for much else.. (I wish I had some dreamy story to tell you about this summer #eyeroll) What do I mean? Summer. Not a summer; I […]
A friend introduced me recently to the wonderful merits of a classic dirty martini. The basic recipe for a dirty martini includes: vodka, olive brine, dry vermouth, and a green olive garnish (see following). …though I’ve never been the most keen of basic..recipes. So a few days ago I soaked 6 green olives, a slice […]
