"Rollin' With Rosales" · Lucky We Live HI

I spent 4 sweet days vacationing with my family.  It's been 5 months since I last seen them, I absorbed every minute of it.  It's tough to be away, especially from them because being genuinely happy around them is effortless, foreal.  I compiled this video because creativity just can't stay away and because I miss them already.  Scenes include Lulumahu Falls, Waimea Beach, Eat the Street, Kailua Beach and the nameless lookout off Kalanianaole.

Melrose in HI

Surfboard Alley, Waikiki 

Fashion is an art that I haven't really accepted and embraced as a part of me until after my senior year in high school.  So forgive me if I have trouble verbally expressing my looks.  In the heart of Waikiki, I am wearing JoyRich Clothing, an eclectic, trendy Los Angeles brand that I feel has been the timeless victor among many rising and falling street-wear trends.  Sporty shit is me and has been me for as long as I could remember.

I've paired this look with my favorite pair of Jordan XII's (Playoff XII's) and my cute croc crossbody bag via NastyGal.  The humidity and heat in Hawaii is a little unforgiving to a California girl, so I seized the opportunity to rock a turtle neck in chilly weather.... bottoms not included.

Refix: In This Life

Somewhere in Oahu 2015

With everything I've achieved throughout my life, I've come to find that when you're good at everything, perhaps you're never really great at anything.  I've been an writer, I've been a painter. A collector.  Graphic artist. A singer. Dancer. Even a bikini competitor.  Sure, I would love to become "great" at something, but the truth is, I have more of a will to wander.  If you all have had a watchful eye over anything I've done - my art, my fitness, my photos, my clothes - I have some good news. I've reconstructed my blog to better suit who I am.  Whether I'm in SF, Hawaii, or anywhere else on the planet, in this life I'll always be me.

Wanderers tap their feet into anything, but there's no telling how long they might stay.  So I've revamped my site to represent anything and everything I am, and all that is a part of me.  Whatever I do, recognize the raw artful vision behind it and the woman, whatever she is or was, who has stood behind her name from the beginning.

XOX.  PS - Enjoy these photos. They were taken somewhere in Oahu, where I currently live.  It is literally an unnamed place off of a Waimanalo highway.
