I can see clearly now...

Sometimes you need to climb to the top of the mountain to gain a little perspective. literally. or if not a mountain at least a very big hill. I'm blessed to have one such very big hill behind my house that offers the perfect place to step back and be thankful for what I have...

So a few days ago (well more then a few) Ali and I decided to take a hike to clear our heads and it turned into an impromptu photo sesh...devoid of makeup or pretense. I don't have all the photos yet but I figured I would post what was on my camera. 

Ali and Mahi taking it all in

Newest obsession

Dear Friends,

My latest obsession has kept me busy, tearing, shredding, dyeing, painting, studding and sewing vintage levi's and turning them into something bright and new. My work space is strewn with the discarded legs of jeans and my bathtub has taken on a pinkish hue but it all seems to be worth it. Be on the lookout for my etsy shop hopefully coming soon :)

Enjoy

Beyond here lies nothin'... Nothin' but the moon and stars

Dear Friends,

Last friday Ali and I visited Bad Lands, a prehistoric beach up above my house. There is a sort of indescribable feeling you get from being surrounded by rock and shrubs on all sides and yet your feet are in the sand. If you haven't been up there to explore I recommend you go. The sun was out and there was a california winter chill in the air. We had a pretty easygoing and playful shoot climbing rocks and trees and looking for treasure...

Enjoy
Love J

Have a fantastic week!

I'm late Im late for a very important date!

 Monday was a hodge podge of activities... Ali, Emily and I put together a little tea party sans the tea in my front garden; sandwiches lemonade and the cutest cupcakes ever. Then we had some fun trying to capture a shot for Ali's design school portfolio. She needed a magazine cover that had went with the store she created, hence the myriad of outfits I wore on this lovely sunny day..

                                                     

Emily and her absolutely beautiful boy, Thomas.
