every spring + summer vacation, mom & I would fly to la - stay in our favorite beach town santa monica.. I would always hit up all the surf shops - one in particular on mainstreet in SM called ZJ Boarding House! I always thought I would grow up to work and retire there.. ! loved the staff, the vibe, everything about it.

Check them out, feels good on this cold winter day in the land locked midwest! http://www.zjboardinghouse.com/

How I thought I would retire.. I am only 27 .. suppose I still have time :)

SO pumped about my color palette for the upcoming fashion show at ISU this spring. As alumni, I cannot compete, but competing was really my objective - so that works!  The best part is watching everyone's talent, all so different and unique.

Model tryouts are in 2 weeks :: that will allow me to finish all the sizing on the various garments I am working on. can.t. freaking. wait.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

celebrated by wearing 'milo b' jewels! sometimes, its hard to sell every piece! :)
