heat wave

A surge of searing hot sun/heat is happening in Cali.

What does that make you want to do? Jump in the water and prance around naked if possible (swimwear or underwear too if you must). But I gotta say, it's good to be back and I'm sort of loving that burning sensation of the sunlight. It was nice seeing the Pacific Ocean again and seeing surf culture in one (of many) of its natural habitats. Kind of inspired me to strip down to the bare minimum in attire, go barefoot and wish I could have that Cynthia Rowley wetsuit!

Cheers! to skin getting darker and hair getting lighter while we take in as much of summer we have left in the northern hemisphere.

Outfit #4 [Aran]

JULES CAME BACK TO CALI! For the time being that is. So we decided to take some photos, having to go to LA for no apparent reason, we finally ended up in Long Beach, Ca. As we happened to just drive and drive and drive, we saw smashed cans glittering on the freeway (in awe a photo was not captured), traffic, traffic, traffic, mexican sports bar, and million dollar homes with dogs the size of a pony. And we just happened to stumble upon this beautiful wall, doorway, arch as we were driving in Long Beach. 

Outfit: Vintage leather skirt, Gray crop tee, modernized army jacket, vintage clutch. 

(Been in this vintage mood, I am becoming nostalgic. The music, the fashion, the lifestyle, communications, readings, everything from the 1920's-1940's)

pants optional

Humidity and trapped heat makes us wish for the option of running around naked. Since running around naked (aka streaking) is most likely to be viewed as socially harmful, the least we could grace you with is a strong top but bottomless option. Who said a pair of pretty panties or bathing suit can't look rad with a solid piece of outerwear? 

- not us - 

A woman's greatest accessory is a great pair of stems, and a good ass attached to said legs is a plus!
