Walking on a Dream | White Sands

Walking on that bright white gypsum sand illuminated by the sun is something else, you guys! It really is like walking on a dream. This was our second time visiting the ever-so-magical White Sands National Monument, but this time we were graced with the most epic rainbow striking down onto the sand. We shot these photos last year, but they never made it to the blog - until now! I hope you enjoy and see White Sands for yourself one day!

You guys! Recently I met the Riley Luxe Crop Raw Hem Jeans and Garrison Cropped Denim Jacket by Hudson, and fell in LOVE with their fit, quality, and color. Finding the right denim is always such a challenge, but I am so happy to add these swoon-worthy designs to my wardrobe this fall and winter. I decided to take them for a spin right as a storm was on it's way, adding some moodiness to those vibrant sunset skies! Check out what we created along the way, and see just how amazing this lil denim set by Hudson is for yourself!

Sunset Salsa | Big Sur

JordanRose_AstroBandit_Pitusa_BigSur_Sunset_WhiteRuffles_1.jpg

Nothing quite beats a sunset on the coast, especially when that coastal sunset happens in Big Sur while you are wearing layers of the softest white fabric, shakin' and movin' and feelin' all of the best vibes! I seriously cannot get enough of this top & skirt by Pitusa (and their entire shop, actually). Watch as I fall in love with the way the fabric moves to the sun setting behind the horizon - creating the most gorgeous golden glow!

Cracked Earth | Death Valley

AstroBandit_DeathValley_MudCracks_MustardYellowCoat_1.jpg

Darren and I have been traveling and creating so much these last few months - so much that I'm literally sitting on thousands of epic photographs just waiting to see the light of day. Well, I am home for now, and (finally!) have a night to sit down, edit, and share some new imagery that we've been working on. I'm going to be releasing a lot this week - so keep your eyes peeled and the bandit on your minds ::) 

First, I wanted to start off with this shoot we did for Silhouette and Modcloth. Although we've been to Death Valley about ten times (no joke!), this particular visit was very special to us. We focused on exploring the unseen and pushing the limits in terms of using texture and color.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of the ground - I mean how amazing are those mudcracks and red velvet heels?

And that golden light on my coat was makin' me feel like a desert angel!

I went ahead and used those amazing textures and colors to show off my favorite sunnies from Silhouette. They've been my go-to shades so far this fall and seem to work with every color palette I've been swooning over!

While road tripping to Vegas from LA, have you ever passed by the exit sign for Zzyzx road and wondered what in the world that is or how you say it? Maybe you stopped by the sign for a photo, but have you ever actually taken the road to see where it goes? Well, you should! Because the location in the photos above is where it will take you! It's such a secret gem that many people don't actually get to see - and it needs to be seen! 

This is one of our many times to visit the area, but each time we visit it's a new experience due to weather and lighting. This time, we drove by mid-day so the light was heavy but caused for some great shadows and contrast - so I did what I couldn't resist to do - wear red. This is my dad's favorite color on me! ::) Everything I am wearing is listed below!
