I haven’t been feeling the greatest for the past several weeks hence the lack of posts. Here’s pics from about a month ago on our trip to Oregon. Had an amazing time, despite all the forest fire smoke taking over all of the fresh air. . . . . #cannonbeach #goonies #portland #oregon #beach #lastdaysofsummer #contemporarydesigner #contemporarydesign #style #ootd #fashion #travel #wanderlust (at Cannon Beach, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoEmYLmFM0y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a0z2drnju583

I took this image at the Getty in LA. It feels very different after knowing the history of the Getty family. I recall being at the museum and thinking, wow what a generous family to share all of this beauty with the world. Little did I know my entire view would change after watching the film, All The Money In The World, and doing some simple fact checking. It’s about J.P Getty and his grandson’s kidnaping. The film raised a few different topics. First, capitalism, greed, and the rising gap between the World’s elite and the “middle class”. Also, how the film was shot with Kevin Spacey playing J.P Getty and was entirely re-shot with Christopher Plummer (a very wise decision), after the Me Too revelations. Have you seen the film? What did you think? . #photography #gettymuseum #gettyla #losangeles #lalife #museum #art #designer #wanderlust #travel (at Getty Museum)

Favourite reading corner .... I started reading “Dancing with Life” about a year ago and moved on and finished a few other books in the meantime. Picking it up once again. I love it and have had some interesting breakthroughs while reading it but it’s a dense read, anyone read it before? Thoughts? . . . . . #books #quotes #lalife #la #losangeles #yvr #lax #readingcorner #buddhist #plants #fashion #meditate #meditation (at Los Angeles, California)

It felt like a dream or a meditation. As we hiked, we overlooked an endless Pacific Ocean, densely covered by a sun soaked and gently gliding fog. An incredibly beautiful and serene day (while also getting a workout in)✨ (at Tuna Canyon Park (Topanga))

I’m reading the book “The Dark Side of The Light Chasers” by Debbie Ford. It’s tag is “reclaiming your power, creativity, brilliance, and dreams. I highly recommend it, no matter what stage in your life you’re at. Beginning a journey or comfortably sitting in success. It provides a new way to look at yourself and your actions/ response to situations. Deepak Chopra says “In this profound book, Debbie Ford systematically outlines the steps to wholeness and transformation.” (at Marina del Rey, Venice Beach, CA)

Today was bitter sweet. The loveliest/talented group of students graduated. To the graduating group, I’m so excited to see all that you’re going to accomplish and at the same time sad that I won’t be seeing your lovely faces weekly. Miss you already!

Years ago, I was working on an indie movie set, rushing around, and I fell and dislocated my shoulder. I learned a lesson that day, no matter how busy you are, stay focused, calm, and don’t rush. Yesterday, we had a fashion show (for those that don’t know, that typically means at minimum a 13 hour work day). There are 2 of us responsible for the show. Joan normally works front of house, I recall seeing her rushing backstage halfway through the show. Few minutes later, I heard she tripped and ended up on morphine in ER. It brought me back to when I dislocated my shoulder and all of the reminders to slow down. Sending all of my love Joan ❤️ (at Vancouver, British Columbia)
