Goorin Bros. + Official California Girls Hat Launch!

Goorin Bros. the official hat makers of the legendary "Heisenberg" for AMC's hit show Breaking Bad, releases a new collection called California Girls, which features my pin-up imagery! I'm so excited to share that these hats are now available online and in selected stores nationwide! If you haven't tried on a Goorin hat, I highly recommend visiting one of their shops- it's truly an experience like no other! Not only is the quality of their hats amazing, you'll feel like you're stepping back into time when men still wore dapper suits, donned tweed flap caps, and women looked absolutely grandeur in broad-brimmed sun hats and beautifully tailored clothing. For those of you who own a Goorin, you know what I mean when you feel instantly transformed into an even more dashing you. I absolutely love their fedoras and I'm so honored to have two of my images featured inside the California Dreamin' and Lady in Red fedoras. Please check out this new collection and tell me know what you think! For all you surfers out there and outdoorsy folk, the Bay Watch Hat, was made especially for the sporty/active gal and guy like you. Stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes interview from the Design Director, Anna Delis of Goorin.Bros in an upcoming issue of Vintage Life magazine. Thanks for stopping by! xoxo Kelly

Best. 1960's. Lapdance.

Or the equivalent at least. After watching the new Season Premiere of Mad Men on AMC last Sunday, I became totally entranced by this sexy little number! Mad Men shows so many aspects of the sixties from the inspiring wardrobe and styling, to the very real issues of civil rights and power struggles in this male-dominated era. That's why it's so empowering to watch a beautiful woman take the stage and blow everyone away with such confidence and sexual liberation in this song and dance! I love how much fun she's having and how carefree she is. It's just as much for her, to exude her power in sexuality, as it is a gift for him. When you do a Pin-Up or Boudoir photo session, it's also for yourself (if not more) than for anyone else, and you should have fun becoming the gorgeous, empowering sex kitten you are meant to be (at least sometimes!) while exuding confidence too! It's about letting go of everything and just going with it.



As women, we are amazing creatures who play so many roles in life: Mothers, wives, partners, lovers, businesswomen, students, teachers, caretakers. In one of my favorite novels, 'Dandelion Wine' by Ray Bradbury, there is a quote, "Life is a play, don't I play it well?" I think we are good at playing multiple roles well, however sometimes we need to have a little fun doing them! So let this little video inspire you to strut around a little and show your stuff! I know you can! I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the new season and sharing more Mad Men inspiration with you! Please feel free to share your thoughts :-) xoxo Kelly
