"When you reduce life to black and white, you never see rainbows." 

If there's something I've learned in life, it's the importance of living life in color. Colors represent life, activity, and movement. Being in Joshua Tree reminded me of this lesson as I was in tune with my surroundings. As we rode through the cactus dotted park that over looks the Coachella valley, I had an aha moment about how important it is to actively seek what I want in life without fear. This moment of realization helped me to curate the editorial look for this project of love with deeper passion. 

The Kaftan dress is by OTT, a dubai based clothing brand who's vibrant and unexpected designs were the perfect contrast to the rustic feel of the location. The colorful honeycomb print details brought the velvet green dress to another level by adding a touch of charisma to the whole ensemble. The Proenza Schouler boots coincided well with the western meets glam details like the Tory Burch bracelet and the 2bandits rings. As a fun addition to this look I went went with a playful french braids hairstyle by my girl Arianna Chaylene.
