2016 CAMERA ROLL WAS ICONIC

Looking back at 2016 through the lens of my camera roll brings a wave of nostalgia filled with vibrant experiences and unforgettable parties. From the glittering rhinestone lollipops that added a pop of fun at every event, to living it up in penthouse suites, each memory tells its own story. Weekend trips to Vegas were a staple, full of energy and excitement that only the city can deliver. Cabo San Lucas also featured as one of those dreamy escapes where the sun, sea, and good company combined for perfect getaways. One of the standout festival experiences from the year was Lightning in a Bottle. It’s a special place where music, art, and community come alive under the sun and stars. Being among the only ones behind the DJ, feeling the beat pulse through the crowd, created moments of pure connection. American Junkie nights and the glamorous Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic brought their own unique vibes, blending chic sophistication with lively social scenes. Hermosa Beach party nights with friends were perfectly rebellious, offering a laid-back contrast to the bigger festival days. And at Stagecoach, the country tunes and cowboy boots provided an entirely different kind of excitement. Of course, the innocent selfies, spontaneous and candid, are what truly capture the spirit of those times—natural, joyful, and full of life. Fashion played a huge role in these memories too. Jeffrey Campbell platforms were a statement piece, elevating every outfit and adding an edgy, playful touch to nights out. Each photo, each event, was more than just a snapshot—it was a chapter in a year filled with iconic, joyful moments that still bring a smile when revisited.
