The stars truly aligned with this marvelous collaboration. I love it when two unique brands like Victor and Marc and Maison Kemang can be put together to create a magical look. And let us not forget the natural wonder that is Sedona, Arizona as the gorgeous backdrop to all these photos – I actually managed to shower during a week-long camping trip just so all of you lovelies didn’t have to see me a la camper grunge! (Yes, I have gone a week without showering while camping. My little secret? No Rinse Bathing Wipes. Seriously, for all you adventurers and festival purveyors, this along with dry-shampoo is the key to low low-maintenance vanity on the go.)
That said, I didn’t come here to talk about wet wipes and my embarrassing levels of uncleanliness, though I will be posting about camping tips and the adventurous side of my time in Sedona soon, so stay tuned!
Back to these lovely brands. Victor and Marc is an LA-based jewelry line specializing in earrings all priced at $30. What a steal! I love the tassel and stone combo and the vibrant colors make them statement pieces for any outfit. I’m wearing the OZ. Tassel and Sangria earrings, both stunning in their own ways, though I’m particularly partial Sangria’s Arizona red and turquoise palate (how very apropos!).
Maison Kemang‘s beautiful purses and clutches are each uniquely hand-made with care and precision. The soft leather is durable, and I appreciate the organic, natural elements still visible in the skins. The gorgeous, colorful fabrics are collected in South East Asia and hand-woven and printed with traditional techniques derivative of this region. Pictured here are the yellow and brown leather Au Bout d’ Ubud and the pink and black leather Daily Dose of Delhi clutches.
Together, these brands transported me into a bohemian dream inspired by my love for western deserts. As always, I love supporting independent and up-and-coming brands and sharing them with all of you. I hope you find these as beautiful as I do and are inspired to create your own whimsical, one-of-a-kind way of wearing them.
On a final note, these stunning photos were taken by my hubby, creative-comrade and fellow dirty camper, Dan Gross. I’m excited to share his beautiful star photography and time-lapses with you in my story on our adventure in Sedona.
Many thanks for making it down this far, for your support and love. Until next time… ♡ ☆ ♡ ☆
