In 2010 I spent two and a half months camping from Uganda to Botswana. In Tanzania I was introduced to the Masai tribe and their fabulous beaded jewelry. These few photos that I snapped hardly do the day justice, but I can still hear their laughs and see the bright smiles that we shared. Do a little digging on the Navone website and you'll find pieces that were born from the memories of my time in Africa...

Getting chatted up by the 'guards' at our hotel (we gave the tent a break for a week) on Zanzibar.

India is hands down the most photogenic place I've been, yet it seems no photo could ever do her justice. The colors, smiles, and hardships are constant. Although your senses will soon long for a break, there is no comparison to the vibrancy and life of her people. I've been twice in the past decade, and even though it's also the most difficult place I've traveled, the poverty heartbreaking and traveling on a budget leaving you weary and exhausted, she will draw you in, like a slow addiction, and softly beckon your return.

Sneak peak! I had an amazing time yesterday with my girls Lyndsay and Cate, shooting the new pieces for the Winter collection out in the Badlands east of town. These women beyond killed it! Think labradorite and lapis set aglow in the high desert sunset. Their gypsy goddess hearts rocked the look and I couldn't be more stoked! Big thanks to Allison Harp for working her magic behind the camera. Make sure to check out her portfolio here. Her work is absolutely stunning! And her blog post is up, holy crap this woman could've made burlap and clothespins look high fashion, thanks darlin', xo
