another canyon lady

Just a couple of outtakes from a mini-photo excursion around the Canyon this past weekend.  "The Brit" is working on a series of photos for a show later this year and I tagged along, as usual!  It's old news to causal readers of my blog that I am in love with my little neighborhood tucked away in the hills of a city that even on my best days I feel a bit at odds with.  I am so lucky to have fallen into living in the Canyon, which is exactly how it happened four years ago!  Meanwhile, I've been reeeeally bad at taking photos with my beloved new camera (for shame) but I thought I would share these with you mostly because I looooove this new vintage dress I found over at Light Witch vintage a couple of weeks ago. I highly recommend checking the shop out!

back soon my dears...

more music musings

Rest assured that there is very much an on-going internal debate here at DJRD headquarters (aka my brain) on just how much of my music-related happenings I should post about here. But... I decided to go ahead and share with you this little guerrilla-style "vignette" I created for my song "Corners of Bars" (with the help of a couple of lovely pals) because a) it does have a little bit of fashion happening and b) it was so ridiculously time consuming. We filmed most of it in and around Hollywood, other bits up on Mulholland drive (basically my neighborhood).  I'm calling it a "vignette"because we had more or less zero budget, no professional grade help, and really no grand plan apart from a rough treatment.    Anyway, with out further fanfare here it is....

May-Day

 

 Maybe it comes with age but I cannot seem to wrap my little brain around how quickly this year is whizzing by… Perhaps it has more to do with just how much is going on in my world these days. None the less, here we are in May already! Lucky for my sad lonely blog I've pulled it together enough to do a post! I know I've been pretty awful lately.

life according to iPhone

This week has been crazy but in the best way (apart from what happened in Boston - which is beyond horrible and my thoughts are with everyone effected).  I'll be posting a couple of music related updates soon but first I thought we would catch up with my iPhone since its been a very long time!  Here is what the past couple of months looked like...

starting with... dress up fun & snoozing with Charlie

band practice & heart cookies

 a stack of cats & twin peaks inspired apparel 

 the results of my first furniture refinishing project & a stack of pups

my EP release show & a peak at Conan O'Brien's stage!! (ps: where I saw james franco live...meow) 

 patti smith & the usual silliness (mwah!)

me & Britt (one of my best ever friends) & amoeba music

 amazing cat art find & that one geezer ;)

more band fun & in two states at once

 attempting to thrift in Nevada & one too many bunny Peeps!

proof that even the devil sleeps! & my second favorite flowers

spring cleaning & my no makeup/sunday morning face

PS: I wanted to give a welcome! to you new readers and a big thanks to Bekuh at Secondhand Sundays for the lovely post! :)

back soon! xo

color me vintage

I snapped a few photos this afternoon of my favorite dress as of late.  I unearthed it a the Rose Bowl some months ago and bought it for next to nothing. Not a usual color for me but, again I've been really drawn to color recently.   Meanwhile,  I am still learning how to use my new DSLR which is deceptively different to my old one even though it is the same make.  But I'll get there...  

I've also been working on a little music related video project which I will share with you as soon as it's wrapped up.  Now I'm off to enjoy some sunshine and then on to band practice for my LA show later this month!
