The Meaning of Beauty . . . .

Indah is the word for beauty in Indonesia, and Indah Clothing certainly lives up to its name.  It’s such a pleasure to find a line that aligns so perfectly with my own personal style and aesthetics.  I am in love with the soft, rich textures and patterns, and the free-spirited designs the flatter and flow.

Shooting these pieces in Kauai with the amazing photographer, Tessa Barton, has been a blast!  The beautiful ikat designs on some of the dresses, and the earthy colors of the line, are a perfect match for the tropical landscape. This place is a heaven realm, and I think these pictures with Indah in Kauai express the epitome of beauty.

We turn it up . . . watch this fun, short video that offers a glimpse into an adventure filled, summer afternoon, "turning it up", cruising the Salt Lake City Streets with my best friend Tessa Barton.  Bisou bisou!

Turquoise always strikes beauty in my mind.  It's a universal color that looks amazing on almost everyone.  Personally, I'm always drawn to this color -- in clothing, jewelry, and I even went to the extreme of painting my studio floor a vibrant turquoise blue. I'm sure that's why when I drove past this cool retro building in the Salt Lake City avenues, I knew that I wanted to shoot in front of it.  Look at the cool circular window.  I love the funky architecture and wabi-sabi-esque walls that are full of character and intrigue. This rather spontaneous shoot turned out to be a lot of fun.  I remember soaking up those last delicious bits of summer.
