Inside Look: Bohemian Coast

In the tropics, vibrant ethnic prints are a part of life, you wear them all the time and see them everywhere. If you grow up surrounded by them like I did, they're not "exotic," they're everyday normal! I never thought much of it until my college roomie Kelly pointed out that the bright green print on my pajamas was one of the most beautiful ones she's ever seen. Since then, I've been more aware of prints in my wardrobe, and I'm always drawn to collections with big, bold prints. This season's prints brighten everything up: your outfit, your mood, your day!
It's Earth Month, and the prints are so natural and organic feeling that Morgan (our photographer) decided to take this lookbook outdoors. We also wanted a natural beauty that didn't need makeup to shine, and Nicole G. (Look Model Agency), with her great cheekbones, was perfect. We got typical San Francisco weather—it was brisk, dewy, and a little overcast. But, the smell of wet grass definitely felt like spring, and Lisa and Lauren (our stylists) styled the scenes to capture the essence of spring.

We hope it inspired you to get outside and play. Don't forget your sunblock!
