It feels like along with the heat, the light becomes warmer, giving everything in these places a beautiful glow. Here are a few of my favorite recent images of these magical locations.

Inspiration 04 : Sticks & Stones Comment
Summer is here and that means exploring and getting out into nature with friends. As I’ve started searching for fun little getaways, I’ve been really drawn to both images of the woods and the gorgeous landscapes of the desert. Luckily here in California, both destinations are just a few hours drive away.
A few of my favorite pieces from Karina Manarin like this gorgeous printed scarf really grasp the essence of the colorful, desert inspired rocks in her prints. I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite items inspired by the sticks and stones of the great outdoors.
