Moving Day

Alright everyone, the time has come. I've moved! After almost 5 years on Scarlett and Giselle, I have made a little upgrade. My passions have lead me to more of a writing-based, editorial place. I have been on-and-off with fashion posts for a long time now, and I have re-evaluated what I want to spend my time on, and dedicate my imaginary internet space to. I am so excited to start on a new journey....

Still Life

Over the holidays, my favorite lady Maddy and I got together to shoot some photos. I had the weird idea of freezing some flowers in a block of ice as an homage to winter. I decided to call the series “Still Life” because they are literally a frozen moment in the life of these flowers, and, I mean, I’m an art history nerd so I will always look for new ways to honor old concepts. So here's the...

Favorite Photos of 2016

What a doozy that year was, right, guys? I see everyone on facebook like "Shut up about 2016, it's not its fault and y'all are just being whiny." But really, this year has felt pretty monumental in a lot of not-great ways, especially here in fucking America. But as much confusion and heartbreak and this year has brought us, I feel like I had pretty decent time. I graduated from college FINALLY...

Details: Latest from Rocksbox

Oh man, the internet is out at home so I am currently sitting in the parking lot of my local Starbucks to get wifi because I don't feel like going in and being guilted into buying something. Still working on a new Scarlett and Giselle, but I really liked these photos and wanted to share them. These are my latest pieces from Rocksbox, the jewelry subscription service that I style for. If you are in...

Alright, working on big plans for Scarlett and Giselle. This is going to be a lot less about me, more about creativity and inspiring humans. For now though, my love took some pictures of me in an outfit I loved, so I decided to post them. These were taken in Manhattan Beach, California. Now I am back up in Northern California and it's near freezing, so the beach sounds a little crazy right now. I...

My Work: Seeking Spaces

I shot this with my friend Annie a few weeks ago. After a very active period in October, I haven't felt like posting here. Really, I am thinking about ways I want to continue with Scarlett and Giselle, and I am thinking it is going to involve a lot less of my face. It's just that I enjoy taking photos of other people so much more than I enjoy modeling for them. I still love styling myself, getting...

Reclaiming the Serpent

This is a gif I made today. I don't think it is necessarily in response to the election, but it probably has something to do with it. In general I have a fascination with women and snakes because, as I mention in this post (x), some goddesses were once associated with snakes. But after the spread of Christianity, the snake was forevermore associated with Eve and sin. I've done a few photo projects...

Judith

It's here, my favorite day of the year!!! This October felt very important. I feel like I stepped into something significant this month. October is always so special to me. The veil between worlds is thinnest now and I really can feel it. One of the artists I featured last post wrote an amazing description of the history of Halloween so definitely check it out here: (x). Even though the month is...

Inspiration: The Season of the Witch

Prehistoric and Classical Art  I feel I need to begin my discussion by mentioning that women were once worshiped for their magical abilities. This Minoan Snake Goddess was praised for her closeness to nature through snakes, since snakes slithered on the earth. Snakes also shed their skin, so they are symbols of transformation which became a major theme in witchcraft and magic throughout the...

The Plague Doctor

I spotted the work of Zai Zai Jewelry on Etsy (x) about a month ago. She makes fantastic necklaces out of polymer clay and there were quite a few I simply needed. But this one...I knew I needed this one for October. I dropped very heavy hints to Ian and he got it for me for our anniversary (3 years woohoo)! This is honestly the most unique necklace I have ever seen. I showed it to Ian's dad and...
