Indy

If you haven't heard of Indy Brand Clothing then you must live under a rock. I have adored this brand for a few years and now have a chance to partner with them in this collaboration. Indy brand is run out of Utah and you can clearly tell their clothing is influenced by the beautiful nature that surrounds them and adventures they personally take. This small home based shop is family run and has such creative and unique clothing. 

They have been so generous not only to me but also extended our collaboration to my husband. When I told him that he had been invited to pick his favorite tee, he was like a kid in a candy shop full of excitement. It took neither of us any time at all to choose the tees we loved (as we are constantly drooling over there clothing). 

 I swear I wear this tee at least once a week and it was the first thing I packed on our recent camping trip to the eastern sierras over Labor Day weekend. While fishing at Ellery Lake on our last day, we were both wearing our Indy tees so I of course turned it into a mini photoshoot whilst waiting for the fish to bite (I fact whilst taking photos we had to run back to our spot because a fish was on the line). This is the first time ever that Carl has willingly let me take his picture for my Instagram and allowed me to post him on a blog. Isn't he so handsome? So if you didn't know already from my Instagram this is Carl, my wonderful husband. Ignore his "fishing pants" that are covered in rips, power bate and fish guts. 

P.s if you have never been to Ellery lake over tiaoga pass you need to go!! It's so beautiful and my favorite lake so far that I've been too (I've only been twice, but I'm a huge fan).

Foxy

My husband, since he can remember has gone camping every year in the Sierras, California. This year with two big trips to Scotland and Italy we just haven't been able to get the time off or afford to go and he has been so sad about it. Well on wednesday night while laying in bed half asleep my husband whispers "we should pack up and go to the sierras this weekend" and I half jokingly said "sure why not". I just so happened to have Friday off work and obviously it's Labor Day weekend so we have Monday off too. I texted Carl the next morning and said "I think we should really go this weekend". You see earlier in the week my husband received a bonus from work so boom financially covered, I happened to have Friday off and my husband can set his on schedule. But here's the clincher randomly my father in law calls Thursday afternoon to see if we had plans this weekend, Carl said "well we think we might shoot up to Lee Vining for the weekend". Low and behold his dad had had the same thought and we all decided to go together.  That's not the end of the story, we go to get our fishing licenses and they said "oh you only need to pay for a one day license because Sunday is free fishing"... WHAT!!!! I stopped and thought to myself God really loves my husband and I because Carl's been pretty sad about not getting up their this summer and over the next 3 months (besides our trip in October) I am slammed with bridesmaids/matron of honor duties as I am in four weddings in the next 3 months plus I have all life's normal errands and stuff. Carl and I will most likely only see each other when we wake up and when go to sleep over the next few weekends, so this is a much needed little get away. 

When in the middle of the mountains what better to wear than my fox peak apparel tee "good things happen on mountians", it perfectly describes our weekend getaway. Fox Peak apparel are from Eugene, Oregon and are a rad etsy shop discovery. I am a complete sucker for anything outdoors and there brand has sweet mountain slogan and animal print tees for men and women.

Infinite Youth

On the way to work this morning my husband made the observation that it's been super hot here in Southern California isn't helping our drought. With all the water limitations so much of grass has died and thatched, our trees leaves are browning and have began falling is making it look like we are in the middle of fall. All the locals are hoping for El Niño to hit this coming fall and revive our sunny state once again. 

I am in love with my new ' locals only' re from Infinite youth LA  which is based out of LA. They are an  independent etsy shop with sweet apparrel that you'll fall head over heels for . This 'Locals Only' tee is so rad!! It's not just extremely cool but it is made from organic materials. I love to support companies with good ethics and integrity and Infinite Youth fits right into that very small bracket within the big fashion world. 

This locals only tee is so easy to pair with all kinds of styles. Hit it yet there Instagram @infiniteyouthla or check out their etsy shop www.etsy.com/shop/infiniteyouthla
