Come with me....

sometimes the most beautiful moments of the day...are watching the sunrise or set...there is something so captivating about the lighting at those times that you only get to experience for a few precious minutes...
and you get to see the sun sink behind the Pacific Ocean in Santa Monica... in this come-along-with-me-video....we also go the Santa Monica Pier, go on a "scary" ride and eat an ice cream....
it's just like we got to hang out together!!!! yay! I hope you enjoy our "adventure together"!!!

PS
my friend, Ian, volunteered to film it...so if you hear a voice, that's him, and he also got way better video shots than I normally do! ha ha ha ha...thanks homie

a day in pictures

lunch on Olvera Street...an enchanted little street that makes you feel like you got to Mexico....for some reason I think these Lucha Libre (mexican wrestling masks are awesome) ha ha ha
what i ate: flautas and rice (and chips & salsa ofcourse)


the HUGE factory where American Apparel clothes are made...the sign says LEGALIZE LA....ha ha ha....this place looks like a big spooky prison....i don't like it....but I thought the sign was funny


i drew my name in the sand on the beach in santa monica.....with a love heart....for anyone who needs a little extra love today....
oh sunset!!! I filmed a little bit of the sunset and running around santa monica pier....just need to edit it....like i took you with me!!!! i even went on a scary ride..ha ha ha

me...trying to rest in the dressing rooms at H & M (on the 3rd street Promenade in Santa Monica)..while my friend tried on clothes....
right after I took this picture...a girl that worked there, came up and asked if I was "kandee johnson".....I felt so famous...hee hee hee, she was super nice and said she subscribed to me...and read my blog!!!! yay!!! If you ever see me, please say hi...and I promise I'll give ya a hug! I'm really nice and friendly...

Vintage, pompadors and thigh high boots, oh my!

my amazing mama (shannon)...my pretty aunt...and me trying on hats at the Vintage show in Santa Monica...California....

My Nana was with us too, but I'm not sure where she was when we took this picture...
I did feel like it was Christmas because my Nana gave us each some money to buy some treasures...(thank you so much Nana...if you are reading this...i love you!)...

we had so much fun...we tried on hats, jewelry...and had so much fun wandering through the decades of fashion!

me with the biggest, blingiest earrings...ever...can you say CLIP-ONS!?!

I asked this guy if I could capture the amazement of his super-tall pompador hair....!!! whoa tall!

this was an awesome headband that I would have like to have bought...except that it was $195......
I'll have to do a tutorial on how to make one on the cheap! ha ha ha

my favorite pirate / napoleon hat....i think she we should all start wearing these hats...

I fell in love with these white leather boots......and yes, they did end up leaving with me....I don't know when, or where, exactly I'm going to wear them....but I loved their "pretty woman"-esque-80's-rocker feel.....

It was so fun....I wish I loved in the 40's...could wear extraordinary hats everyday, and clothes that simply dripped with style...it made me want to go through my whole closet and wear only vintage pieces!
(oh, and I got a killer gold biker jacket with fringe on the back....and I mean, shimmery gold, baby!)
