TANGERINE HIPPIE

June literally feels best while wearing fringe. Okay, TOTAL lie, and now I've become one of those people who slaughters the word 'literally' in their attempt to emphasize how right they are. To be fair, June in Las Vegas feels like one of Dante's inferno hell circles -- extremely hot, dry, overpopulated with annoying people, and nothing to drink unless you have $8 to spend on an overpriced water bottle. That's like hell, right? You can pay your way out of torture? What I really meant by June feeling best in fringe is that a little bohemian flair goes a LONG way in the summer months. Do nothing and you're still a champion because loose threads are artfully hanging from your hemline. It feels complete... absent of limits, free, mystic. I've worn this paisley kimono at least a dozen times between Vegas, LA, and Orange County. Literally *proper use noted* 'between' all those cities -- loose-fitting fringe wear is my road trip uniform so I'm always down to throw a kimono over my shoulders before a long car ride.

I'm trying to stop myself from gushing all CRAZY on you guys about these boots, but they're the first pair of knee-high racer/riding boots I've owned that I genuinely adore at every angle. The zipper in the back is accented with tribal print and the sides are adorned with equestrian buckle straps. Everything I could ever want in a shoe is here -- practicality (GREAT for walking,) longevity (sturdy heel,) matchability (not a word but should be.) These kickers look amazing with outfits of ALL themes, and that's not just because they make my thighs look divine. They're genuinely flexible. Of course, they're a product of Pink & Pepper, new favorite shoe brand that will be making MANY more appearances on FTBH these next couple months. Check out the rest of their selection on DSW or place an order for the boots I'm wearing right here!

COAT OF MANY COLORS

Before I left for Israel, I threw an outfit together that I thought would MAYBE be representative of Israeli style -- long skirts, floppy hats, gladiator sandals, and floor-length kimonos, all in a desert color palette. I was totally wrong, but the look was fun because it's referential to the story "Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors." I remember learning about it in Hebrew school. Probably watched an animated film about it. Definitely did a color-by-number. Torah/bible outfits are hugely underrated. Do not be surprised if within the next two weeks I come up with a "Prince of Egypt" ensemble.

In Israel, girls have gorgeous wavy hair that's so long it reaches their bum. They usually wear it middle or side-parted and, like me, they love a coat of red lipstick! The most popular get-up was a pair of high-waisted leggings with a leotard, tank, or t-shirt tucked in. So simple and perfect... I can't wait to return to the city and go vintage shopping.

These are a few pics from my trip! I took hundreds but narrowed it down to a smooth 9. Traveled everywhere from the Golan Heights to Tel Aviv... stayed in 2 kibbutzim, 1 youth hostel, 1 bedouin tent, and 1 Jerusalem hotel. Desert, sea, and Masada in between!
