surfing safari

June 21, 2012


Though not a surfer myself, I've grown up around the surf culture due to friends and family and have always been fascinated by the oceanic sport. There's something so beautiful and zen-like about surfing, even just watching it from the shore. Tory Burch's blog recently featured these photographs by Thomas and Tiffany Campbell, surf film creators. They are so nostalgic and yet so current at once. The warm corals of Thomas Campbell's studio contrasted against the azures of the sea. So lovely.

Stay Classy, San Diego

June 4, 2012

It seems almost serendipitous that two days before my high school graduation, Rebecca Minkoff, a local designer, states that her Resort 2013 collection is a return to her "San Diegan roots". When I am most nostalgic for the hometown I will soon be leaving (79 days until I move into my dorm, according to my college) it is wonderful to see a homegrown designer use America's Finest City as her inspiration.

The 18-piece mid-season collection focused on the surf and skate cultures of Southern California. Two-tone baseball sweatshirts, sleeveless leather vests, and effortless shift dresses dominated the presentation, all in oceanic-worthy hues.

It was a little more downtown than I go for, but I really did enjoy it and I felt that Minkoff totally captured the San Diego Spirit.
