THE "STARRY NIGHTS" SANGRIA

Between designing, marketing, selling and doing it all over again, we work so hard everyday of the week that when it comes down to shooting a lookbook, we kinda just wanna have a good time. ;) On location for Starry Nights, we wanted the atmosphere to be loose and for everyone on the team to indulge in a little vacation away from home. That vibe wasn't hard to achieve in such an idyllic Ojai property surrounded by sun-kissed grapefruits and kumquats trees, with two hot tubs, an outdoor shower, a floating bed and plenty of nooks to go around for everyone to take a little break in between looks.

Being a 4th of July inspired shoot, some of us obviously had to get a few beers in before noon, but the "holiday" really only started when Viv poured us a glass of her famous summer sangria that made everyone on Instagram go nuts! Well babes, in the spirit of 4th of July, we will share this amazing recipe with you and hope to get everyone buzzing! Have a great weekend! xoxo
