Hello sunshine & hello to my favourite colour combo. I love to complement my obnoxious, attention-seeking neons with subdued nudes. How do you guys like to wear neon?

I painted my shoes! I can’t believe it didn’t even enter my mindgrapes until I saw moiminnie do something similar here. It feels so good to know I’m not trapped in a sea of cork heels this summer. It’s so easy, there are only 3 things you need:

  1. primer or sealant, also called ‘gesso’ for acrylic paint. primes the cork, so you won’t need 20 layers of paint to get a proper coat.
  2. acrylic paint.
  3. a matte varnish, comes in spray or paintable tub. Acrylic is very porous, so it will attract a lot of dust and crud without it.

Do steps 1-3 with time between for drying & fool all your friends with your “new” shoes!

Leaving LA, my charming ace bandage in plain sight, and some suspicious bruising, but my spirit renewed.
Some time to kill before our flight, we threw together a shoot inspired by the idea of lost luggage.





After Coachella we rented a few cars and spent some time in Marina Del Ray, which is technically not Los Angeles, but pretty much is. A city teeming with beautiful people, whose skin glows with health and possibly happiness. I limped around our immediate area into some unexpected boutique shopping, fresh juice bars, and excessively pretentious coffee. We left without as many tacos under my belt as I was hoping for, but we’ll try again soon LA. x

Did you know? Photo pros are not allowed! We make due with an iphone, and some old fashioned film. See Coachella through our CRYSTAL EYES.

A year of planning, day dreaming, and stressing over the elusive weekend 1 tickets.. has come and gone. I remember skipping through the field at night with my best friends, running to see Phoenix and thinking I’ve never felt so free. You probably know all about Coachella, but I wasn’t prepared for the scale of everything. Walking one end of the field to the other would take you about 45 mins (depending on traffic). With 6 stages there was bound to be some band overlap but I never felt sadness at missing anything. Discovering new music and being surprised was the best. For example, all those who doubt the power of the Moby DJ set, I give you the gospel here.

Thanks to Phoebe Redlin photography we have some style shots of DAY 2.

Photo diary coming up soon, as we wait for that to develop, special thanks to my friend Jenny for this dope dress, she always sees potential in the most unusual pieces.

 

 

 





We call this one the Sandra Bullock trench. So much leather.. at only $10, it’s enough to make anyone bend their style a little. I flash back and join the ranks of all those 90s ‘cool’ moms.

Possible blogger hiatus ahead, we’re headed out to Palm Springs tomorrow for COACHELLA. Maybe I’ll see you there? Get all the latest updates on the official cyeoms instagram.
