Trust Travels

Ciao America…Trust goes to Italia!

It has been two years since my last trip abroad and I am so excited to flee the country! Although I was in my glory with all the coconuts in Thailand (for everyone who knows my coconut obsession) I am ready for Italy to bring on the gelato. Ice cream is another obsession of mine…Coconut Gelato is just pure bliss in my mouth.

I’m going to Italy next week  with one of my best friends from childhood who lived in Rome for 6 months…talk about a local tour guide…it don’t get much better. Local cafes sippin’ on cappuccinos, a city tour with Scooterama, a family stay, Siena Vino tasting (and cheese duh), Milan shopping, Capri ferry rides and a Roman Wedding…just a few of our Euro todo’s. Yes, a wedding. We’re going as dates and we don’t yet know how to say “we’re not lesbians” in Italian. Not that we care but I mean a wedding full of tall dark handsome Italian men who live in a land of gelato, pizza and wine…we wouldn’t mind claiming our husbands.



Most importantly…come along our Trust Travels. We’ll be 'gramming our way through this adventure so head over to @tanyarustigian to follow!

California Living

California Living

My life in California…because I have been living on a west coast dream & slacking on my blog. Right now, I am sitting here taking some time to catch up on Cup of T while drinking a cup of tea. I have realized how important it is to take time, slow down, disconnect and just BE.
LA livin’ got me like…
Here’s a look into my West Coast life!
Biz & Personal
Grinding away on Trust out here. 
I was honored, (and still am) to be asked to style a photo shoot with trust jewels for one of my favorite companies this past week, CottonCandyLA. I wanted to buy every piece of clothing we styled…and we styled over 40 outfits…so I mean, maybe someday. It was SO amazing seeing trust jewels in Cotton Candy’s shoot, working with some of the sweetest models and getting wrapped up in downtown LA’s fashion world. I do have to say I couldn’t WAIT to get back to the beach…I know I always say it but I’m just no city girl. I like my feet bare and my skin salty…and sometimes my hair turns into mermaid dread locks and I just don’t care. Anyways, I will be back styling with Cotton Candy next week for their Summer look book!
WERK...werk it girl
This is my beach office…usually on Saturdaze
#VitaminSea

 Shop Lux Clothing, one of Trust’s newest CA retailors invited me on THEIR photo shoot a day later! I felt overwhelmed with excitement because I love their vision, branding and style. Not to mention the super rad babes who own the shop. I brought a trunk full of trust jewels and we did the dahm thing.

styling out of the back of my jeep..keepin’ it real

My PERSONAL life isn't on Facebook but I still have one.
My life here is a mix of play & hustle. I like to combine the two. Sometimes I feel like I am juggling a million things and decisions at once, but thats life! I usual work on orders at the beach on saturdaze (see above!) drink my favorite coconut milk chai tea and soak up that vitamin D like a real mermaid. I hustle during the week. I chase sunsets on the regular. I buy most of my food from the farmers market multiple x a week. I run the Santa Monica stairs and die a little bit in between each set. I hang with friends and LOVE LIFE. Yes, I get homesick and have had plenty of melt downs to my mama. Almost 26 and she is and will always be my go to. I miss her everyday but talk to her multiple times a day...about everything. To getting yelled at for being a "massole" driver  (by a police officer BTW) to locking my keys in my car at the farmers market.
(Then I ate all of my strawberries while waiting for AAA)
I will be spending some time trustin' from the East Coast soon & my countdown to Italy is on. 

Have you guys been up to date on Trust Babe Tuesdays? It’s the new trust thing on IG and I hope you all are enjoying it! I LOVE passing on the meaning of my jewels to. You "Trustee's" make my vision come alive and it means so much to see it.
My last tuesday's trust babe!

I have 2 MAJOR collabs in the works that I can’t tell you a thing about. It has been so hard to keep a secret, it’s actually killing me. Maybe my best friends and my mom know but that’s it. I will share ASAP. Probably could have just deleted this paragraph but it’s the closest I get to spilling the beans so STAY TUNED!

to the moon & back.

Fields of Gold


Hey everyone!

Been working on the grind over here to launch Spring Trust. It has been a crazy transition traveling cross country, running a business, moving into new digs and planning for spring.
 BUT I did it and I am SO excited about everything that is happening right now.

California living is perfection. I am busy, focused, motivated and happy. My favorite things are all in one place…the beach, the mountains, fresh food, business opportunities and awesome people. I am missing my favorites at home of course…but the support I have from across the country is incredible. I am where I am suppose to be…the GOLDEN coast.

we be trustifying the west
Got us some new packaging!

SO…
SPRING LINE IS FINALLY DONE!
We had a magical day shooting Fields of Gold in actually fields of gold that we scouted up in Ojai. The Astrae x Trust photo shoot collab came together perfectly. Astrae is in production mode on some new pieces that we incorporated into the shoot. My models were total babes and the location was BREATH TAKING.
To see the vision I had with Fields of Gold come to life was unbelievable. I can’t even explain the feeling of gratification watching something I created actually happen. 

Can't thank Emily at Free Feather photography enough for making the magic happen...she rocks!
>>behind the scenes action<<
>>my babe models<<
>>sunkissed trustees<<

The Fields of Gold collection holds a much deeper meaning that I would love to share. I lost my Auntie Abbie in November. It has been far from easy living my life without her. Her initials A.U. represent Gold in the periodic table. Her love and support were rich as gold - as was her presence in my life. She wasn’t just an aunt to me…she was a best friend & a second mother. She adored reading my blog posts, and they have been difficult to formulate since she is gone knowing I won’t get a response or email back from her. Abbie was one of my biggest fans my entire life and as my business expanded and grew, so did her support. With every accomplishment Abbie would be the first to know and I couldn’t wait to share every new piece of news. My life will never be the same without her golden soul but I will go on determined to succeed knowing she would never want me to stop. Each piece in the Fields of Gold collection represents a flower. Abbie, also known as Goldie, loved flowers so with each piece we will celebrate her soul.

I don’t usually like to get that heavy but wanted to share the true meaning of Fields of Gold.

On a brighter note…the collection is now available. 
Shop Fields of Gold!
I will try and be better about posting. So many exciting things in the works…can’t wait to share with ya’ll.
Thank you everyone for the support…couldn’t do this with out you.

Trust Goes West


The countdown to Cali is on!

Only a few more weeks till I start my journey west!
This month we are re-launching the Bullet Collection inspired by California dreaming,  the beauty of the coast line, the smell of salty air and the energy of the pacific ocean.



I was inspired to create this line a few years ago when I was road tripping the coast & named each piece after a place in California.

Here is a little throwback to that trip out west!
I will be pit-stopping in between so don't forget to follow my travels via Instagram

Let the gypsy journey begin!
