SO exciting. I’m all packed up and off to Cape Town and then to Zambia to see Victoria Falls and go on safari. I still don’t think it’s quite settled in but the car gets here in :15 mins and I’m ready!

I managed to pack 15 days worth of stuff into this one Tumi bag. They made it custom for us for the trip because Cool Hunting is curating the genius that is the trip. I hear we have some other really special treats to look forward to that I’ll report back on later. A day in Cape Town and a day in London really threw me some curve balls with the packing situation but I think I’ve got it all sorted out from bug repellant, to our Vintage Shoe Co safari boots, and the bespoke Geren Ford jacket (and pants for me shhhhh no one else got those) and thanks to my great friend Nicole Selmo’s suggestion last night I’m finally getting to use the amazing double pack of mini Hermes cards in a leather carrying case. Very ANNEX, very chic and I’m so happy to have an excuse to use them. I have a feeling we’ll have a LOT of time to play cards during nine days in the bush.Here’s to not getting any bug borne diseases, and making it back in one piece. Lots and lots of photos will be heading this direction shortly after our return.CIAO!

If only High School had really looked like this….

I am getting all packed up and ready for July 4th. Not to celebrate the holiday but to jump a plane for an amazing safari adventure with the kids from Cool Hunting. More on the packing and the carry-on later. I’ve finally settled on my travel outfit. Simple and comfortable are key since it is about a day and a half of straight travel to get from Los Angeles to Cape Town. It’s going to be one of the great adventures of my life. I CAN’T WAIT!

We have a huge girl crush on Sofia Coppola. She’s got an effortlessly sexy style and we admire her attention to detail!

We’ve picked some high, some low, some new and some old. It’s our day dream of what she might pack in her bag for a summer holiday in Italy.

We were lucky enough to be invited by Rain Phoenix and The Paper Cranes Band (@papercranesband) to participate in an amazing art project “I. You. We. Three” She has championed an amazing 4 week stay downtown here in Los Angeles for a celebration of art and love. GO SEE IT. Quinn will be up still this week, and the party is tonight.

We are working away but dreaming of last summers holiday in Lewes, England.

we love you! XXXXXX GF
