Post image for Do Movies Influence Your Style?

Have you ever watched a movie where you are inspired so much by the style of the characters that the very next day they inspire a look of yours? This happened to me a couple of days ago when I finally got around to watching Coco Chanel with Audrey Tautou. I spent the entire time drooling over her classic and sophisticated look, admiring every detail. Read more »

Nikki Reed in Lords of Dogtown. Love that effortless, California cool vibe. I even take some inspiration from the boys! Throw on some denim cutoffs with a faded graphic tee, vans, and some tall socks & you're good to go.

@Georgia I so agree the UK show Skins definitely changed my style. It's was so edgy and cool

Post image for The Best Advice We’ve Ever Heard

Ever since we’re tiny little humans, we’re given advice on a regular basis. Some of it we take, some of it we don’t. Some advice we wish we’d taken, while some we really wish we hadn’t. But of all the tidbits of advice we receive in our lives, there are some that just stick with us. Read more »

Post image for March Catalog Location: Lompoc, California

Our March catalog was shot in two locations – in a studio in New York City and in a stunning field of flowers located in a town called Lompoc, California. The fertile valley of Lompoc, located in Santa Barbara County, and its coastal climate, make it one of the world’s leading producers of flower seeds.  Referred to as the “Valley of Flower,” come spring and summer the land becomes a breathtaking rainbow of colorful flowers that from a distance look like a spectacular patchwork quilt.  Read more »

I live in Lompoc and am always breathless when I see photos of the beautiful flowers that are grown here. Maybe, I should "stop to smell the roses" more often.

This is great! I like the point saying "You are not your mind" I never thought of it like that but it is so true. I am going to try to carry these aspects with me every day. http://bohobrain.wordpress.com/
Lacey Hanemann -Mar 03, 2013, 11:29AM
I'm only five pages in and I've already learned so much.. This is a conversation I had with my friend. Me: So this book teaches you that you're a slave to your brain. That the control we give our brains is why we experience anxiety and depression. It helps you realize that the brain is just like you heart. It keeps you alive. It works for you. Nothing more. The reason we have dark unwanted thoughts is because we've allowed our brains to become its own being. There is me, then there is my brain. We are separate. It's the same as saying there is me then there is you. Our brains have formed their own consciousness that isn't for our good. And if we can accept that and take steps to change that we can be free of negative thoughts. When the separation actually happens and your brain is yours again you're in a constant state of meditation and can choose for yourself what thoughts, good or bad, you choose to have. Her:Wow that's Amazing. So I assume its probably difficult to get control back? Possible of course but does he explain how Me:Yeah you go through exercises. Right now I'm not reading anymore until I am able to separate myself without making the conscious decision to. Until its just natural. Like instead of having bad thoughts and asking myself why I can't let go of things I have to tell "her"(my brain) to stop. That I don't have time for her bullshit. To get mad at her and basically mentally walk away from her. It's like being around someone you dislike; you just leave. People who say they dislike themselves are wrong. They dislike their brain as a conscious being. At least that's the understanding I took on what I've read so far. Her:So the conscious being brain...that's still created by us or no? Me: What are you asking? If we as individuals created this conscious in our minds? If so it's unclear currently. I think the devil exists. Not like in the bible but in our souls and circumstance, hereditary even. I think the development of humanity has awakened parts of the spirit that are so powerful because they were intended to drive passion and creation and will to live. But we built buildings and made money and that part of the soul lost purpose and reworked itself to compliment what force had the strongest pull on humanity, power, wealth, status, etc. So I suppose I do think we did this to ourselves but not we as in me and you. Out ancestors, our devils. We don't recognize the strength of the human spirit. We think we're sad because we've lost our spirit when in reality it evolved to what we made it think would better suit us. We've mutated our own souls. After five pages. This book is a miracle. And maybe I'm gathering things wrong because I haven't read it all, but I like what I'm gaining none the less.

On of the things of my bucket list is to visit the seven wonders of the world, from The Great Wall of China to the Taj Mahal.

I went to Petra last summer. I wore cutoffs, but once I got inside Jordan I felt like I wasn't dressed in a respectful manner. Nobody made me feel like this, but I would recommend wearing a more covered look out of respect. I also would wear comfy shoes.
Marly -Feb 28, 2013, 1:29PM
I'll be visiting India for a month this April, cannot wait to see the Taj Mahal! Trip of a lifetime!

Post image for What Purple Says About You

I find it mesmerizing that specific colors can be so strongly connected to certain emotions or ideas. This week’s trend on our site is called Purple Haze, and with Amethyst as February’s birthstone, it seems there would be no better a time for such a trend. Purple is the color of magic and mystery. It has the ability to lift your spirits while simultaneously calming your mind. Loving the color purple says a lot about you. If you feel a strong fondness toward the color purple, it’s probably also true that… Read more »

This post really inspired me! Ive have been in the need of excitement and have just felt that things were a little dull lately . As I was reading this in school The purple hair inspired me! Im fond of the color purple and was going to get my hair trimmed later that day anyways. I talked to my hair stylis and since i dont want to dye a small portion of my hair purple she said she could pick me up some clip in purple hair extenions that you could curl and straiten. I just got them yesterday and I already feel like they have given not only my hair but my spirits some "Umph" too(: So thanks FP This definetly gave me some "excitement/self defying dust"(:
Lynnette -Mar 01, 2013, 8:31PM
Awesome! Purple has always been my favorite color, but it's so interesting to learn more about it and how it really does relate to me...thanks for sharing!
