    She darted from vista to vision
    With her collection of hats
    Others got lost in the hob nobbing shoulders
    Through the shuffle, she was found
    She saw the world through her own
    Rosé fueled glasses

    When it comes to collaboration, I am quite particular.  When a brand comes my way I think through a myriad of things before sharing it with all of you (I am very protective of this beautiful community!):

    1. Is this a brand I already own or from which I would like to own pieces?
    2. Does this company’s mission resonate with my personal values?
    3. Would my readers find the story behind the products + the products themselves valuable?
    4. Would I be proud to be associated with this brand?

    I don’t move forward unless the answer to all of the questions is an unequivocal, “YES!”

    When I had the opportunity to collaborate for a shoot with Parker Clay (all shot by the disarmingly talented photographer Carly Mask… follow her on Instagram for mega daily inspiration), I did my due diligence (reminder for those who don’t know… I’m an Active Member of the California Bar… laymen’s terms: that makes me a lawyer).

    Being a Santa Barbara native, I already knew that Santa Barbara based Parker Clay carried absolutely stunning handcrafted pieces for both men + women.  That answered question number 1… but I still needed to make sure they were a fit for criteria 2 through 4…

    As I learned more about the story behind the company (+ after talking with one of the founders), I was moved beyond belief.  Normally, I like to tell the story in my own words… but their story is so powerful… I’ll let them tell it in their own words:

    Days of isolation in the countryside
    Filled with more inspiration than togetherness
    The bite of the champagne
    Gives the books new meaning
    Lonely enchantment is broken
    By the sound of tires on the gravel drive

    THE BEAUTY TOOL OF 2018

    Most of you are aware… but for those of you who aren’t regulars on this site… I am a skincare addict.

    I have tons of tips, tricks, + favorite products… but the FIRST STEP in my routine (and the step that I swear by for a steady glow) is this device.

    I have had early access to the device for months now… finally it’s not just exclusive to influencers + insiders.

    Drumroll please… it became available to the public TODAY!

    I always want you to have current information on the technology available to you (especially natural technology that doesn’t involve injections or fillers).

    This is as current as you can get.

    I use this rad device.

    What does it do?
