missing you, Malibu

missing you, Malibu by niviarsiaq
I spent a lot of time in the Los Angeles area last summer and early fall. Now that the sun's coming out regularly again, I am eager to visit! I love the mood down there - especially in Malibu. Everything feels so relaxed and drenched in the heat of summertime. Take me back!

[Spanish TV!]

I had the exiting and totally unreal opportunity to show a few of my designs on Univision, Spanish-speaking TV which aired today! I don't speak any Spanish (unless 'adios amigos' counts) so I kind of just stood there being all awkward. I think another segment will air tomorrow in which I actually do answer a question (she then translated) about my design inspiration. The segment was focused on spring trends and the 3 beautiful female models are each wearing clothing and accessories from my line. 

I have no idea what she is saying here so if anyone can translate it, that would be much appreciated!

I am doing a little spring cleaning on my laptop and realized I never posted these pictures from Tahoe. In a landscape covered in white, a colorful outfit seemed like a good idea. I love pairing this cobalt puffer vest from the men's section of H&M with an equally bright orange cardigan and matching blue striped top.
