Ruby Beach was one of the most magical (and accidently) stops that we made along the way. We hike through giant trees climbed over layers and layers of logs and hung out with a little snake friend on the path. I found these paper-thin angel wing seashells as we were leaving. I knew they would break on the roadtrip but I had to remember their simple beauty one way or another.</div>

Getting our Goonies on at the Goonies Beach! (Cannon Beach, OR). We're such nerds so we had to! It was so freezing, but we loved the little fisherman city and ended up taking an extra day just to see all the incredible coastal Oregon cities.<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m8VEq4T8FIU/W4YBh6536DI/AAAAAAAAMHI/7oGKmmam_hQBDv0AyXEinwX51nMuXc8CgCLcBGAs/s1600/Edit_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="998" data-original-width="720" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m8VEq4T8FIU/W4YBh6536DI/AAAAAAAAMHI/7oGKmmam_hQBDv0AyXEinwX51nMuXc8CgCLcBGAs/s1600/Edit_3.jpg" /></a></div>

We got out of town and wandered for a few weeks. We had a few destinations here and there, but an overall mission to explore, travel, experience it all, was the priority. We drove through San Francisco, and what would be the first of many giant bridges. Bridges that each and every time we dove under made myself and my boyfriend stare in awe. Watching the beams shooting by in a hypnotic pattern, too quick for eyes to make out any shapes besides blurred lines and great wide views from beyond. We kept on North. Laughing as we pass signs for Jefferson County and their quest to succeed from California, along with giant posterboard sized information about how to attend their soon-to-be Banquet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oregon was beautiful; Mountain ranges and emerald green rivers. Freeways lined in bright flashes of purple... The result of wild shrubs that happened to be in bloom, but who's color seemed electric against the muted browns and muddied greens of a fading winter. Making a stop in Lake Siskiyou, Mika got to run wild, swim in the lake and chase squirrel after squirrel while we walked the edge of the water and reveled in the feeling of stretching our legs after driving for days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seattle was a dream. Warm coffee and croissants every morning, hikes through green hills and dripping foliage, a city filled with humans focused on living, on being an individual. I fell in love with it (and the fact that we happened to have sunshine every day didn't hurt either). The mile-long lines for the ferries each day fascinated me...The islands that these people were commuting to fascinated me. The water, the hills, the city, I was taken back by it. We stayed there longer than we planned. Taking an extra long stay at the Hotel Sorrento and visiting friends, meeting new people, doing exactly what we wanted each day. Exploring, photographing, shopping during the day and drinking and eating all night became our regular routine for a few days, and it was bliss that flew by in an instant! Little did I know what views we were about to see next!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Olympic Peninsula is where we were off to next (before a quick detour hoping to dig for some quartz, but we only found some baby pieces). I can't say there are too many other places that quite took my breath away like this place did. We drove along huge bodies of water, stopped in all the tiny little towns for souvenirs and snacks and ended up having to backtrack almost every night just to find a hotel...but that part was worth every bit. We saw more bridges than people and stopped off for photos as much as we could. It was overwhelming to take it in...It's like there was so much to see, missing it would be a tragedy. I didn't think it could get any better until it did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, the Redwoods. Humbling and reverent...The holiest church I have ever been to. Welcoming and vast, full of clean air, full of life. We spent three days winding in and out of their glory. We drove through a redwood...Narrowly and I will completely admit, beyond hesitantly (on my part). We were driving a giant SUV and my boyfriend was determined to challenge the most Giant trees in the world. I'm happy to report that we made it through after two tries and way too many astonished/scared/non-believing faces of the other tourists standing around. We both couldn't believe we made it through and my boyfriend just zipped out of the parking lot so quickly... He must have been so surprised we made it through and a little worked up from me telling him we weren't going to fit... All in all, it was a hot-success-of-a-mess. And we laughed so hard afterward thinking about those tourists and what was going through their heads as they watched a giant SUV that shouldn't be able to drive through a tree, in fact, drive through it and then proceed to speed out like a fire was lit under our asses. HA! It still makes me bust out loud laughing just picturing it. The rain came down one day, making us feel like we were journeying through a rainforest sheltered by giant trees, only feeling the few drops that The whole journey ended with a greeting from a vibrant rainbow in the sky as we made our way out of the forests and onto the rough and raw beauty of the Oregon Coast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thick fog from the coast blanketed the sky each day, but that didn't take away from the mystical views of the Oregon beaches. We had one afternoon of sun and managed to find ourselves serendipitously on Ruby Beach. Making our way on foot through more giant trees and onto paths leading us to beaches covered in heavy layers of wood and tree trunks. We followed thin streams of water that led to the ocean and made friends with an Oregon snake along the way. I stumbled across the daintiest pair of angel wing seashells and almost instantly felt sad knowing they wouldn't survive the journey intact in tact. I left with a film photo of the shells- hoping only that they would be in focus and the photo would help me to remember the feeling I had when I picked them up. That day was beautiful. My boyfriend, Nick grabbed "our rock" from the beach which is now a rock from Ruby Beach labeled oh so brilliantly "our rock". It now sits in our living room, reminding me of that beautiful afternoon at Ruby Beach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made our way back down the coast, stopping quickly in San Francisco before making our way all the way back home to Santa Barbara. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I added in details that were important and personal for me to remember and probably left out way too many funny stories and places we visited, but it was overwhelmingly full of all those things it would take too long to tell you all about it! But I did share my feelings and the magic that the Pacific Northwest brought on in me. I recommend this trip to anyone and everyone thats looking to see some incredible nature and revel in the wonder that is our planet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Already planning a trip to go back, see you soon, Pacific Northwest!</div>

The Drive to Monterey Bay on the 1 is one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen in person. The whole thing was overwhelmingly beautiful for hours it seemed. The Pacific has never looked more blue and the trees, the trees, the trees! It was hands-down one of my favorite trips to date.</div>

The hotel we stayed at for my birthday had little cottages that you stayed in on the beach...literally. You walked out and the sand was in your yard. It was a dream come true. And pretty cold. Mika my Husky was so happy to get to be by the beach for a few days straight- and the cold didn't hurt either! (she's always so warm from all her fur!) I seriously loved this place- they would bring us breakfast in bed in a basket...does it get cuter than that??</div>

This trip was the ultimate getaway. We ended up driving back home to Santa Barbara on my birthday and we took our time. Dinner was eaten in the cutest little town. Getting to have my boyfriend and my pup with me for my birthday was honestly the best ever. With multiple cameras in tow I spent the whole time just photographing all the beautiful nature around me and eating the yummiest food. Coming back home was the hardest part of the whole trip (and then going back to work the very next day). But that's life...happy I finally got to sharing these photos!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I could move up North by the Ocean I would in a heart beat... Just as long as I bought tons of blankets, sweaters, layers, and tea...Yup, I'd be set!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time!</div>

It's been quite some time since I've posted anything-maybe a year... These photos have been burning a hole in my Lightroom catalog and it's time to get them out, into the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I'm back- not sure how consistently or what exactly it is that I'm going to be sharing, but I figure I'll just follow my camera lens and see where I end up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a big year for me:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Job</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Jewelry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Confidence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Passion to Enjoy Life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New Journey to Create</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's my little list of all the things on my mind these days. My new job has made finding time to create my jewelry and blog an exciting challenge- in the end I gave in and one of my creative outlets took the heave-ho (this blog). But after a year away I've realized that this blog was and is a nice little creative sanctuary away from all the nonstop rushing of life (something I just have never gotten the Users Manual for). So I'm sticking with it and it feels EXCITING and JOYFUL! I'll be working on the visuals of the blog for the next little while. A lot has changed over the last year or so including my perspective. I have a vague, fresh, and mood-filled outlook and direction in which I want to take things...Stay Tuned! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to be doing this again. I can't wait to be sharing my thoughts, words, visuals with anyone out there interested.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for welcoming me back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm here to stay.</div>

Faded freckles now that I'm getting a little bit older</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still love the feeling of sun on my cheeks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something brought me to the ocean</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Flowers in hand with old feelings in my heart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
getting ready to leave</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've never failed to find some peace in this place</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
while the weaves crash up ahead</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can feel my lungs fill up with air they wish they could drown in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I could find a place that makes me feel the way the ocean does</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would pack up and leave in an instant</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Forever content, forever wrapped up in the feeling of peace</div>

This particular blog post is going to be broken up into two different parts because I had so many photos (and things to say) that I didn't want to jam pack them into one post! I had the idea to do this shoot out of nowhere one day and it's ended up being the absolute right thing that couldn't have happened at a more perfect time (yay creative inspiration light bulbs!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been almost three years since I finished college. Three years since living, breathing, sleeping, eating, photography. Three years since I started my blog, found my love of jewelry making; three years of absolute growth, change, struggle, magic, beauty. And here I am, still completely at the beginning, still completely raw with leaps and bounds to learn and millions of experiences to live. But I'm happy. I'm excited and beyond ready to show the world what I've got to offer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started my blog with the hopes of sharing my love of fashion and to inspire young people everywhere to follow their dreams no matter how far fetched they might seem (because eh hem, that's my entire life!) Over time it has turned into something so much more, and lately I find myself wanting to share who I am in the most honest and real way. So starting with these couple posts I just want to introduce you all to myself a little more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I'm Chelsea, 23 years old, living in Santa Barbara, California. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I love astrology, and most certainly believe everything happens for a reason when it's supposed to</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I'm a cancer in the astrological world, but every astrologist will tell you that technically I'm a Leo because of the time I was born-which is actually really amazing since being a Leo makes so much more sense for who I am.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado (a suburb of Denver) but moved to California a month after my high school graduation to go to Brooks Institute of Photography.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">The ocean is my favorite, most calming place I can go to.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"> I love to bake to the point where the kitchens overflowing with more sweets than my boyfriend and I can eat. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I'm vegetarian, and an avid yoga practicer. I love, love, love me some yoga!</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"> Palm Trees make me incredibly happy to see each and every day. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I have a deep love for Gilmore Girls and can't wait for them to bring it back.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">Crystals all the way! My favorites right now are Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Aragonite, Watermelon Tourmaline, Citrine, Sunstone, Garnet, and Labradorite</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I tell everyone that my Husky (named Mika) is my furry soulmate and I 100% believe it. I couldn't have ever ended up with a more perfect pup.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I really want to figure out how to keep plants alive because I love them so much and it breaks my heart when they die.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I have an amazing boyfriend named Nick, we live together in Santa Barbara with our Husky/Samoyed mix. We've been together for almost three years, and I couldn't be happier. He's a glassblower, extremely creative, sweet, goofy, he supports me so much, he makes me laugh so much, he's my best friend. I love him with all my heart.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">Above all qualities in other people I value honesty most. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I have a really unique sense of humor that can come off really dry and doesn't always go over so well. I always appreciate anyone who has a solid amount of wit. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"> I love laughing and especially love making other people laugh.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">My favorite foods are nachos, avocado toast, french fries, potato chips, and banana splits. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I love film photography, especially working in a darkroom, processing, printing, the whole shebang. </span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;">I have six camera bodies; a Rollei 35, my nikon d7000, my nikon F100(35mm film), my Bronica S2(120mm film), My Polaroid Land Camera, and my fuji instax. I love them all so much, but my favorites to shoot with are my instant cameras and my Bronica S2 (because it takes the most amazing photos!)</span></li></ul><a href="http://www.chelseaden.com/2016/02/ocean-home-part-ii.html#more">Read More</a>cdsfdshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12749306882402052091noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3177061845530889795.post-27732888688149333112016-02-27T16:23:00.001-08:002016-02-28T10:06:34.585-08:00Ocean Home {Part II}<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somethings always made me feel at home here</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heart calms, taking in breaths with the pace of the tide</div>

It's peace. The peace brings me home and takes me out of my head</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I brought flowers, and all the right kind of whimsy I could find</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There was this feeling that times are changing, a new was on it's way</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to document it one way or another</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Five years ago when I moved out to Santa Barbara I came here to study professional photography at Brooks Institute with the hopes of becoming a fashion photographer. I loved the creative conceptualized photo shoots I saw in Vogue, and W. If I could I would be a fashion photographer during the 80's, it was such an amazing time for photographers and for the fashion industry! But I learned more and more that nowadays a lot of the creativity of the photo shoots come more from creative directors and stylists and less from the photographer. My passion was and is composition. Creative composition, seeing beauty, making beauty; putting things, people, objects, colors, shapes together in a way that is the absolute most aesthetically pleasing to the eye. After school ended I realized that maybe I loved photography with all my heart, but it wasn't the thing I wanted to work towards a career at. In other words, I have such a huge passion for photography but when I try to make money out of it it becomes a whole other animal- I lose my love for it, and instead it becomes this thing I have to force in order to survive…That is not what I ever wanted from my dream. Sooo I ended up finishing school with an immensely deep education in photography and not a clue what I wanted to do with it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to figure something else out. and Voila! The fashion blog started, which led to jewelry making, which has led me to this very moment, almost three years later typing out this blog post. And I'm so glad to report that I feel like I'm following my dream path more than ever, it just took me some roundabout ways to get there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photoshoot was me going back to simplicity in composition. Now, I didn't take these photos- my wonderful friend from college helped me out when I came to her with the idea. I just wanted to bring some beauty back without it being about my outfit. I just wanted some photos that represent where I'm at because I never could have guessed this is where my life was going to take me...</div>

Happy New Year All!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO I know I'm a few days late on this, but everyone's talking about the New Year and what they're hoping to get out of it and all they're excited for. I'm finding myself starting off this new year simply hoping to find ways to feel more okay with who I am. I've decided to do something more vulnerable than usual and share with you all what I truly hope to get out of this upcoming year:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li> I want to judge others less and hopefully in doing so, I will learn to be less judgmental towards myself. </li>
<li>I want to take steps every day towards the forward movement of my jewelry and fashion business.</li>
<li> I want to work hard but to be sure to pause and take days for myself where I'm just breathing in the moment feeling so grateful for my all that I have.</li>
<li> I would like to feel confident when I choose to say no to someone- confident in my decision and confident in the fact that I'm choosing what's best for me even if other people don't like it.</li>
<li> I want to be gentle with myself and allow myself to leave situations that are no longer serving me for the better. </li>
<li>I want more days spent with my dog at the beach, on walks, hiking, exploring- I want to spend more time with her doing things that make her happy!</li>
<li>I want to really work on being more open to love- giving love and receiving love</li>
<li>I want to travel more, go on road trips, let go of having a "homebase"</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This isn't all of my new years resolutions, but it's a good handful of them. I'm truly excited for a year of forward progression, work, love, and happiness. To be perfectly honest though I have this feeling somewhere in me like this year is going to be big- big in ways I can't even imagine right now. And who knows, that could just be a feeling, but, either way, it has me sitting on the edge of my seat anxiously anticipating what's to come, and hopefully it's all pretty beautiful like I've always wished for. </div>
<div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The weather's finally getting colder here in Santa Barbara after months and months of me talking about the heat, heat, heat. Annnnnndd oh my gosh it's so SO cold! I'm finding myself layering up with three jackets, a coat, some kind of hat, and almost ALWAYS, this beautiful silk/cashmere scarf each and every time I step out the door. <b><a href="http://www.thescarfshop.com/" target="_blank">The Scarf Shop</a></b> sent me this scarf a while ago, and I have owed them a look for some time (don't you worry because you're going to see so many outfits to come with this lovely scarf!) I'm so in love with this scarf and I can't emphasize enough just how amazingly well it has merged with my wardrobe. Besides the fact that I get compliments on it all the time, it keeps me so warm and cozy! So thank you to the wonderful people over at <b><a href="http://www.thescarfshop.com/" target="_blank">the scarf shop</a></b> who are creating and designing such beautiful pieces of clothing; my scarf is being well loved!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<span style="text-align: center;">That's it for me today, sending you all the happiest of wishes for a full, happy, loving new year! </span><br />

Even now as I type this I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted a look, but I've got lots of looks on the way and even more motivation to keep expanding all that I'm doing. I currently have something new in the works and it just might mean a new and improved home for my blog :) Change is good, and I've gotten a little too comfortable with my fashion blog so it's time to switch it up and keep moving forward, forward, forward! More to come on that in the weeks and months ahead!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the meantime here's a new look for you guys! I bought this skirt in October when Halloween was in the air and the witchy feel of this skirt just pulled me in! I love wearing the color black so if I can successfully create an all black look I'm a happy camper! And if I can add touches of burgundy along with the black you better believe it doesn't get much better for me! I wore this crop top all through the summer and now I'm finding it so easy to wear for winter (yay for clothes that work for all seasons!) The strappy back of the crop top peeks just out over the back of my knit cardigan adding a cool geometric touch. This outfit works so well simply because of California's lovely warm Winter weather. Coming from Denver, Colorado I'm used to bundling when Winter comes around, and after 5 years of living in Santa Barbara it still is a huge surprise that I can step outside in an outfit like this in December...And I love it! There isn't any other place I've felt more at home than here in Santa Barbara, and I couldn't be happier to be spending another holiday season in this beautiful town! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's it for me today, I hope you all have a wonderful, wonderful week! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">XOXO</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Chelsea</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Woo Friday!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a much longer than expected break and after months of not taking a single photo for my blog, I'm back! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I turned 23 in July (yay Leos!) And it's had me thinking a lot about my future and what exactly I want that to look like. My jewelry has been my focus the last few months- I became so engulfed in it all that I even almost considered just narrowing my ventures down to just jewelry making instead of jewelry and blogging... My fashion blog takes up a lot of my time, and other people around me were saying "your jewelry's doing so well and it's making you money... maybe just put all your time into that" and I was just considering throwing in the towel. Welllll I couldn't do it!! So today I wanted to write a little about following you passions and choosing your own personal happiness! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the last few months all that's been on my mind is jewelry- designing it, getting it seen, thinking about crystals I want to work with, new metals I want to try, better packaging, more social networking, stores I want to sell to, plans for future marketing, ahhh!!! It's quite a venture choosing to work for yourself. It's a bumpy, rocky road and I'm still very much trying to keep it together while I make it past my first few years. But for today at least, I'm feeling so incredibly overwhelmed with how happy I am that I've chosen to follow my passions for a living. And it's days like this that make all of the obstacles, all of the bumps in the road, so SO worth it. The joy I get from creating a little treasure that has it's own unique beauty is a happiness I have yet to find doing something else, and not only that, but someone, somewhere is just waiting to find it to love for themselves! And the same goes for my blog when I get a comment, or I hear from a close friend that they love looking at it, it just makes me want to keep going! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been trying to make some big changes in my own life in regards to my personal happiness. I'm quickly learning to choose what's best for me, even if others don't necessarily agree (and some haven't) but that's where the learning comes in-to accept them for how they feel and where they're at in their life, and accept that I deserve my own happiness at the same time. Life's all about figuring out what you need to do to be happy- in my opinion, it's that simple. But the hard part is when other people who you care about don't necessarily feel the same. But choosing your happiness first (as long as it's not harming anyone or thing around you) is always the better way to go, and will always pay off the most in the end. When it comes down to it, my idea of happiness really means that my loved ones are taken care of, I have the materials I need to keep creating my jewels, time to shoot with my cameras, and an ocean I can drive to at the end of the day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my jewelry making, I love getting to share these outfit posts, and I love that I've decided, no matter what, to pour my heart and soul into what I create. So I just wanted to do a post about happiness, and what it means to me, to choose to be happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My blog is such an important part of my own self expression that I can't help but always come back to it. I've got so many ideas for photo shoots and new outfits so stay tuned for more! And thank you for staying with me through the last few years.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to fall madly, softly in love with you. I want the late night coffee, catching your sideways glances, the genuine smiles. I want to twinkle with you and the stars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had my eye on this dress for sometime now. I couldn't decide if I should really buy it and make it a permanent addition to my closet. It's definitely girly-er than what I'm usually used to. I finally gave in and purchased it and I am happy to announce I can't wear this dress enough! It goes with everything and is so incredibly easy to make an oh so lovely outfit. All in all, it was in absolute win. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been working really hard on my jewelry and my most recent order with <b><a href="http://lfstores.com/">LF stores</a></b> really paid off, so I wanted to treat myself. This dress (along with a new swimsuit, a few pairs of new boots, and lots of pretty Peony bouquets) were the best kind of gift to myself and were a great motivator for me to work even harder to keep this momentum going. I can feel a huge shift happening with life-I'm not sure where it's taking me, but I do know that right now I'm so very content with working hard creating the art that I feel driven to create... and hopefully that takes me exactly where I'm supposed to be- I strongly believe when we follow the direction we feel pulled in, that's when we're on the right path and that's when things really work out. That's something that is MUCH easier said than done. Breaking away from the "norm" and following your passions whether it be an artist, designer, musician, or maybe you just want to be your own boss because you know you'd totally kick ass at it- whatever the reason, deciding to pour your heart and soul into that and walking away from what is viewed by society as "normal" can be so incredibly difficult. After two years of working on my jewelry and fashion blog, and really embracing that "starving artist" lifestyle I've come to fall in love with the life I'm creating and am really starting to have that consistancy I dreamed of when I first started-and I'm still completely in the beginning! It's not the most stable life... it's not a 9-5, it's not a paycheck on Fridays, but it IS passion, love, it's my dream. And I've created a place where I can put all of my cards on the table- I can lay out my creations for the world to not only see, but own, and I truly feel like my voice is starting to be heard, which is HUGE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People are going to question you, your work, your creativity, your mindset, your determination, and you better believe your strength will be tested more than you've ever known. I'm still directly in the middle of it all, but I feel like I just recently hit this point where I've realized no matter what, my life is going to be a creative, colorful, art filled existence, regardless of the hardships and difficulties this can bring. No matter what anyone says or any obstacle thrown in my way, I know I'll wake up the next day so stupidly thrilled that my whole life is made up of art, passion, and the things that I love. And I'm the one that gets to take the credit for it being that way, and there's something so very empowering in owning that. I also have to give credit to all the close family and loved ones I have around me, that have come to support me so much in all the things that I do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess I just felt inspired today to share this with the hopes that it helps others feel more confident to follow their dreams, to turn their back on the world that says your life can't be exactly what you want it to be and instead build a life that matches the picture in your heart. It's just going to take some work, and a whole lot of determination and faith that things will turn out the way you deserve for them to turn out. </div>

</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Monday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I had the nicest weekend, ending with a last minute choice to go out last night, have some drinks, and so so much dancing. It felt so good! There isn't a whole lot that makes me happier than listening to some loud, bumpin music, with lots of happy fun people, and just dance the night away! But Monday hit hard this morning, and I'm definitely battling a rather danced out, had-one-too-many-drinks kind of feeling in my body therefore I blended up my new favorite green smoothie to get me going. (I've been blending up kale, chard, spinach, a banana, frozen strawberries, and green tea) This smoothie is such a pick me up, PLUS blending up your greens is the best way to get all of the nutrients from them, and we can get so many more nutrients from greens than ANYTHING else that we eat! Basically, I'm just really grateful to know all this in times like this- even as I write this I can feel it kicking in, sweet!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This outfit is just a really sassy summer look. I love this top so much (I'm not ashamed to admit I have it in four different colors...) It goes so well with so many things, and I've been wanting to break out these jeans for a while now. I paired them with some amazing platforms by Gwen Stefani's brand. I then went with one of my favorite beige leather jackets, and topped off the look with an amethyst necklace that I made for myself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well that's it for me today. Time to pick myself up out of bed somehow, someway and get this bright summer week started! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wishing you all a happy, productive week!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">XO</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chelsea</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ee;"><u><br>

I just fell in love with this kimono the second that I put it on. It's definitely a statement piece and I can't help but feel a little magical when I walk around outside with it and it flows all around me. I paired it with one of my new rompers that is a tiny little thing that definitely could use a longer jacket therefore the kimono was perfect! I added a little quartz crystal necklace of mine just because that's been my necklace of the moment. We photographed this outfit in such a beautiful theater here in Santa Barbara- I knew the overcast light would be perfect to add some moodiness for the photos, and they turned out perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a big month, and my blog really took a toll because of it. So I'm sorry for the long absence of outfit posts. Earlier this month I experienced the one year mark of my dad's passing. Last year he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and 9 months later he was gone. It's taken me all year to really just voice out loud- my grieving process was difficult and I wasn't sure how to even begin feeling until recently. If you follow my Instagram you'll see a post about him on the year anniversary earlier this month, and I just wanted to say here, what I said there; I've learned from all of this that life is a fragile, beautiful, inspiring, intricate force that is meant to be enjoyed, experienced, felt completely through to the core. And that's what's really truly important- enjoying life and finding happiness in all of it's moments. If you can figure that out then you're absolutely golden. I'm taking my own advice and doing what's best for me to maintain a happy vibe going as often as I can, which usually means listening to lots and lots of happy, bouncy music, doing yoga, playing my ukulele, cooking lots of healthy, colorful food, taking my favorite little dog to the beach or just going on a walk...I'll even just go lay in the sun and can instantly feel my body recharging! When I do all of this my work is so much more productive, happy, and I feel motivated and have so many ideas. Tell me what you guys do to recharge and get your mindset back to a good place! And I hope you all have a happy, joyful rest of your week!</div>

So it's Friday and I'm seeing all of these Coachella photos... I can't help but wish I was there since it's happening so close to me. But instead of hearing all the best kinds of sounds all weekend I'm home working on a bunch of well... work. There's always going to be that time when there's so many fun things going on-so many things to do, but you don't have any option other than to sit your butt down and get to work.. So that's where I'm at this very moment. <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.jackalopeartfair.com/pasadena/">Jackalope Arts Fair</a></span></b> is in two weeks from tomorrow; I will be bringing my entire line of handmade jewelry (since I've been making so much more jewelry than anticipated, I will still be leaving a few pieces up on my store) so I'm really, really excited. This is my first official time vending at a fair so I would love for you to come down and say hello! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I shot this look at the Santa Barbara Courthouse which is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful places in Santa Barbara. When I was going to school for photography this is always where me and my friends would come for assignments and photo shoots simply because the light is too good! There's so many archways and big open windows and beautiful architecture... It's every photographers dream come true- so when I realized I had yet to shoot a look there I couldn't believe it! I put on one of my favorite rompers, paired with a denim jacket since it's still chilly in the shade here! I then went with my favorite converse and a Free People Daisy Leather headband to give the look a really summer, laidback, California feel. </div>

I have a confession about what I do when I'm home alone... This past week there have been times where I would be listening to my music working oh so diligently when out of nowhere I would have the most sudden urge to get up and dance, sing, and spastically jump all over my house like an absolute maniac...And I loved every second of it. That is until I would get so into it that I'd trip on myself or hit a wall, or both (probably) and fall over laughing... But that's what music does for me- it just picks me up and gets me moving, laughing, singing; it lights up my goofiest, carefree, happiest self... It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing, dancing to a song that just moves me is one of the best feelings ever, AND probably one of the best, most organic cures for sadness. It never fails to take me out of my head and free me up to just feel all that's around me. I'm taking this feeling with me into the weekend, and I'm going to dance dance away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every once in a while I just really like wearing a feminine, girly, classic look. And while the knit/lace crop top is maybe not the most classic piece, it does have the best of retro feels flashing back to the 70's, which I just love! I paired this crop top with some favorite jeans from WellBinder, that I rolled at the ankles(it just really helps me look so much taller hehe). I then went with a classic pair of pointed toe snakeskin print nude pumps, and a matching nude leather jacket and pulled my hair back into a high pony for a polished look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Friday! Wishing you a happy, carefree weekend!</div>

The weeks coming and going, and I can't believe we're already halfway through it. I've had my head in the jewelry making clouds for the last week or so- I will be attending <b><a href="http://www.jackalopeartfair.com/pasadena/" target="_blank">Jackalope Arts Fair </a></b>in Pasadena, California April 25th and 26th where I will be selling a table full of jewelry made by yours truly. If you're around the Los Angeles/SoCal area be sure to come check it out and say hello! And don't worry... I'll be making more announcements before the lovely event, just in case you're like me and forget 98% of the things I hear about, plan on attending, and then forget about altogether. The whole fair is free, and the selection of venders is amazing! There will be clothing, jewelry, art, home decor, food and drinks (beer/wine), raw materials(for all you makers out there), plus they'll be having DIY workshops both days, and tons more <b><a href="http://www.jackalopeartfair.com/pasadena/" target="_blank">(take a look at the event HERE)</a>. </b> </div>

As the weather gets hot, hot, hot I'm so excited to break out my summer shorts and to start styling my favorite kind of outfits. The femininity of this floral kimono has always stolen my heart, but since it's on the shorter side I tend to only pair it with bottoms that cut off above or around the same length (just so my proportions don't look awkward). I love the fun summer California feel this outfit has mixed with some daydreamy, feminine touches- basically this is my absolute favorite kind of look.. It's perfect for so many things-running errands, meetings, meet ups, eating out, shopping days, evenings out, practically anything. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wishing you all a very happy rest of your week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There were all these things I wanted to write about today and I've been bouncing back and forth between my emotions, my work, my personal life... Life can be so overwhelming, and I'm the master at magnifying the worry. But luckily, I can learn to be the master of my worry too. It was International Women's Day this past week and I was looking at quotes from all the women I admire, and one of them stuck with me. Audrey Hepburn, a lovely, amazingly, timelessly, elegant (sorry for all the adjectives, but they're needed) woman that was so effortlessly flawless in understanding what is important in life said: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering- because you can't take it all in at once."</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br>
I read that and it really resonated so true with me, that I figured other people would probably relate. There is so much to live in life, so many things to be done, places to be seen, people to meet! So much in fact, that I will sometimes work myself up and stress that I'm not working hard enough, or if I'm not ready I'll miss out on opportunities, or I need to be preparing for the next huge thing. Life isn't always about understanding every event or action that occurs, or waiting for that one big break, or stressing that you won't be in the right place at the right time. Life is absolutely and positively happening this very second, and every second for that matter and if we try to analyze every detail of it, try to understand everything happening at once, well that's when we miss out on experiencing some truly beautiful, one of kind, real life living.<br>
There's always time to remember all the things that happened, but you can't go back and relive the things you missed. This is a message for myself and for anyone reading this because I'm always trying to understand my surroundings, my life... Why things are the way they are.. And I have a very bad habit of trying to take on a million things at once... but there comes a time when life needs to simply be lived, enjoyed, celebrated one breath at a time. It's not about that one life-altering event- that moment will always stand out I guarantee it, but if all the little moments of simply living shined just as bright, life would be the most brilliantly glowing masterpiece. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been wanting to do a really easy look like this for a while. Just jeans, a thin white sweater, oversized denim jacket </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And with that I say happy Weekend. I hope it brings some magic your way.</div>

And so it begins... Happy Monday everyone! As my days go on I'm finding myself getting more and more excited to wake up and just work! I'm feeling so passionate about my fashion blog, my jewelry, the forward movement that's happening in my life, and all the wonderfully supportive people I'm surrounded by. So even Mondays are starting to feel a little less mundane (but that could be because I now spend my weekends working). My jewelry, jewelry, jewelry, I wanted to mention because I've now added a few more charities that I donate to, and I'm so excited about it. Along with <b><a href="http://www.actionagainsthunger.org/about" target="_blank">Action Against Hunger</a></b>, I will now donate 5% of every jewelry purchase to either the <b><a href="https://awionline.org/content/who-we-are" target="_blank">Animal Welfare Institute</a></b> (fights factory testing, wildlife conservation, domestic abuse, breeding farms, along with tons more) or <b><a href="http://oceana.org/what-we-do" target="_blank">Oceana</a></b> (ocean conservationist, overfishing, whaling, marine life conservation, and tons more). I've always been hugely passionate about helping out our fellow humans around the world and now that's growing into a bigger passion of helping out animals, and our planet. So I wanted to share those organizations here and spread the word about them. When a piece of jewelry is purchased from my shop a shipping email is sent and in that email I provide a link to my donation blog where the customer can see directly how their jewelry purchase helped better our planet! You can check out the selection of jewelry <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChelseaDenJewelry?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">HERE</a></b><br>
Now for the outfit! I've been really craving a Spring look, and even though we're not quite there yet, the weather here in Santa Barbara begs to differ. So Voila! I threw on a little dress for a cute, (almost Spring) outfit. This dress is one of my absolute favorites. I got it at the American Apparel Warehouse in Downtown LA for a beautiful price. I always recommend checking out the warehouse (it's in the Arts District) if you're down there-American Apparel has the best basics and if you go to the warehouse everything is marked down, and you can even find prints and patterns that aren't normally in the stores. Since it's still a little chilly I added a cropped sweater from Urban Outfitters and threw on my high tops to really give this outfit a young, fresh feel.<br>

I'm not sure I can remember exhaling at all; moving into the feeling that your breath on my skin could suffice for us both. </div>

Happy Monday Everyone! And how was your weekend? Mine was so relaxing and productive all at the same time. Saturday I went to the beach with my dog and boyfriend. That little Husky of mine loves swimming in the ocean and I LOVE that I have a dog that loves that ocean as much as I do. A little farther down the coast from Santa Barbara is a Nature Preserve for Seals, which is so cool to go see (Carpinteria Bluffs National Park) if you're ever around santa barbara take a nice walk and check it out. Anyways, sometimes a stray seal or two will just ride the tide and it will take them North where they climb onto our favorite beach. On Saturday a mama seal and her pup were on the beach and we got to watch them just roll around on the sand ( I added a photo below), until they eventually got back in the water and headed home South. I then spent the rest of my day making jewelry and eating yummy food. My sunday looked pretty much the same minus the beach, so I'm feeling extra blessed and super grateful for where I'm at in life, but always ready and working towards new adventures, experiences, and opportunities to keep moving forward! So that's my mini feel good rant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And while we're on the subject of working and new opportunities I have recently teamed up with a pretty cool brand called <b><a href="http://wellbinder.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">WellBinder</span></a>.</b> They're a new denim line straight from Los Angeles, my favorite city, plus I've been on the lookout for a casual acid wash jean, so it looks like we're simply a match made in heaven. These jeans are so versatile (they look great with a classic nude pump) but for this particular look I wanted to do something fun and funky for warmer days, yet still very wearable on the street. I started by pairing the denim with a turtle neck crop top to really push the early 90's feel, and then went with a denim button up to take it all the way. Topping it all of with some hightop converse to truly add some fun funk, a red lip and matching leather cross body bag to add a little maturity, and some layered up chunky necklaces because why not?? A little sparkle never hurt anybody.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Monday everybody, have a wonderful week, make sure to do something good for your soul.</div>

Breathe me in. All I've ever wanted was my own kind of happily ever after, and you're showing some sure signs of what that could be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's NYFW and I'm all the way over in California scrolling through my Instagram feed admiring all of the beautiful clothes taking front and center on the New York City runways. If it weren't for the freezing weather I also keep seeing, I'd seriously be bummed that I can't be there myself. But luckily with all this amazing social media I get to (sort of) see the excitement myself from the front row of other fashion attendee's phones, and I have to say, I love it all! Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Mara Hoffman, Nannette Lepore, Fendi, and of course, that Tommy Hilfiger show on the football field?! Ughhh! I'm lusting over everything...Like always! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm feeling the New York layered up vibes (I must be taking hints from all the New York posts I'm seeing) so I took advantage of one of the few cloudy/slightly chilly/foggy Santa Barbara days we've in a while, and layered up. Plus I got to style a look with these brand new Nikes that I'm so in love with... For the longest time I was really hesitant about the sporty-sneakers/casual-streetwear trend that's been happening, but once I gave in and did it myself I realized this is the coolest/comfiest, most convenient outfit ever... so shout out to all my ladies that have been rocking this foot-friendly trend all along, I absolutely get it, and my feet appreciate it too. </div>

My holidays were so busy, and then I've been working on my jewelry like a manic, so my fashion blog's just been set back. But no worries! I'm working on new outfit posts, and am getting ready for a full year of sharing my fashion style regularly. The last year ended with my Vintage shop closing, which was a rather sad thing for me, but I still have pieces of it here and there to keep me close... Like this divine vintage slip from the 1930's that I choose to wear as a classic black dress. It's so old literally every hem is coming undone, giving me a nice sewing project every time I wear it ha! sometimes vintage is worth it, and this dress definitely is. I added an amazing belt that I got from my store. I've been wanting a silver chunky conch belt for some time now, and while this is a little different, I love the western style, and it's so much better than any conch belt I would have bought in a store new. The black necklace is also vintage from my store...The more I write the more I'm realizing this outfit post might be withdraw from working in my vintage shop, because that's all I'm wearing! Even though I'm sad to not have a funky little shop to hang out at, all things must change, and I'm taking this little bit of free time to get my other businesses up to speed, and get my jewelry company off the ground! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've got a million ideas for what I want to do with my jewelry, but one thing I'm most excited about is the donation portion of my jewelry business. Since I was young I've always been taught that people come first, and the older I get the more I realize that I have a passion for helping others; mainly those who can't stick up for themselves so well (mostly children and animals) so it's always been a dream of mine to somehow implement my various artistic outlets (fashion, design, and photography) with my passion for giving back. I researched a ton of organizations (which was a lot more overwhelming than I ever imagined) and sorted through the ones that aren't so good to find an amazing group that I'm so thrilled to support. Action Against Hunger is a wonderful organization that's doing a TON of powerful, planet changing things for our fellow humans likes getting food to malnourished children around the world, building sustainable water resources for communities that lack access to any at all, and many, many other things. A portion of every Chelsea Den Jewelry purchase will be donated to Action Against Hunger, and I made up a blog (<a href="http://chelseadenjewelrydonations.tumblr.com/">http://chelseadenjewelrydonations.tumblr.com/</a>) where you, as a customer, can see how your jewelry purchase went towards helping others. I honestly couldn't be more excited to be doing this, and am thrilled at the idea of including others in helping!

I wanted to do a Christmas post last year, but didn't feel happy with the photos I got so this year it simply had to happen! I spent the holidays with my boyfriend and my little Husky of a wolf Mika at my family's house in California. My family has always celebrated our big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve so that our Christmas day could be spent opening gifts, lounging around, and relaxing...It's always the absolute...</div>

"We do not know the true nature of change by it's moment of occurrence, but by the consequences of it taking root in our lives"</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All things change and all things must change. This is something I'm slowly coming to terms with and will probably continue coming to terms with for the rest of my life. With one chapter coming to an end I'm looking towards the future to see what's next...Starting with a change of locations, followed by some new experiences, people, and most likely a large amount of adventure and mischief. But for now, it's time for work, work, work! </div>

I shot this look at the spot by the ocean that I love so much, and was excited to see that I got some shots of the 101 behind me in some of them. Driving down that stretch of road to LA is one of my favorite times; there's always surfers, dolphins love swimming by, and the ocean breeze smells so good. It's California at it's finest, and I was there for a pretty incredible sunset. I had to take some shots of the ocean to share because I couldn't take me eyes off it! Thanks for stopping by!</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">I would love to wear this to any and every holiday party this year. It's perfect for this California weather, and the style is such a fun one to wear. The socks, beanie, and cardigan give it that warm touch to match that holiday feeling while the edgier silver and black jewels and leather accessories give this outfit a kick that rocks! </span><br>

Hello everyone and happy December! My monday started off on a lovely note; I woke up early to post this since I was called in to work at my vintage shop today, but just got the lovely news that I don't have to come in until the afternoon! Therefore my morning is going to be spent lounging around drinking hot hot hot coffee (mmm just the way I like it!) and making jewelry. And to top off everything, and I mean top it off, it's a rainy day in Santa Barbara, something we haven't seen in a long, long time. And it's finally December. I really love this whole time. Throughout the course of this month I'm planning on drinking lots of warm, tasty sweet drinks, listening to the most classic of holiday music, and keeping a constant flow of blankets, oversized sweaters, and wool socks if not on me, very, very nearby. And last, but not least, there will be at least one gingerbread house decorating night, where I'm sure I'll just end up covering some poor gingerbread man's home in a rainbow downpour of frosting(it happens every year). So happy holidays, happy Monday and a happy start to December!</div>
