How To Be A Road Trip Warrior

We at the Nomad Truck, obviously know a thing or two about being on the open road. Each morning, we hop in our big beautiful yellow lady (otherwise known as Bertha) and cruise to our spot of the day where we settle down, and set up shop for all our fellow Nomad chicks. Being warriors of the open road ourselves, we wanted to talk road trip clothes and how each and every one of you can dress like the absolute road trip goddesses that you are!

On the truck right now, we’ve got a ton of great, comfortable yet seriously cute road trip appropriate wear.

Step One for becoming a Road Trip Warrior:
A great tee – we are currently carrying a ton of really soft, beautiful tees with lots of reminders of california, summer and sunshine. At just $32, the below pictured navy tank is one you could rock road trip after road trip.

Step Two becoming a Road Trip Warrior:
Flowy pants/maxi skirt – When riding in the car for many hours to your next incredible destination, you want to feel comfy and have room to wiggle around as you please. Try our super soft Summer Lovin’ Flare Pants ($52), or one of the gauzy, airy maxi skirts pictured below (left to right, $52, $68, $52).

Step Three for Road Trip Wear:
Get some long beautiful chains around your neck, a hat on your head, and a camera in your purse and explore explore explore! Oh, and don’t forget to turn up those sweet road trip tunes!

Come find all your road trip needs on board The Nomad Truck, and come road tripppin’ with us!

Spring Trend We Love: ROMPERS!

Like most of you, we here at The Nomad Truck, are beyond ready for Spring to be in full force. Spring means sunshine which means more cruisin’, and more time to rock one of our favorite trends this spring, the ever trusty, romper.

Who doesn’t love walking out the door after just throwing on one beautiful piece of clothing? What a piece of cake! We have two adorable rompers on our newly launched e-commerce site – so easy to shop you don’t even need to leave your home!

First, our Field of Dreams Jumpsuit: a black, pants jumpsuit with all over sunflower print, sexy criss-cross back and subtle v-neckine. At $58, this fun onesie is a must have for spring. Pair with gladiator sandals, a floppy straw hat, and a crossbody bag. Easy like Sunday mornin’!

If you’re looking for a romper for those even warmer days, you must check out our Spring Forward Romper. This charcoal romper with an all over floral print has an adorable ruffle trim along the shorts with a beautiful v-neckline and open slit back. Also coming in at $58, this romper is perfect for a date night or music festival. We especially love it with the Festival Fringe Vest tossed on top.

Last, this new cutie just landed from our recent LA buying trip. At $46 (on the truck now), this lil’ guy is a steal and is the perfect number for any super hot summer day. Wear it now with a tee under and denim jacket on top!

Come see us on the truck and make sure to check out our website, keep rompin’ beauties!

California Dreaming

Whew! What a crazy past few weeks of travel we’ve had! After our long trek home from Wilmington, NC (the finale of our road trip – more on this coming soon!), we switched gears and hopped on a plane to California to do some buying for Spring.

Ah, California. Land of sunshine, palm trees, and that coveted easy breezy lifestyle New Yorkers like us always secretly crave but can never commit to. Now back and bundled at our frigid Brooklyn headquarters, a quick ode to The Mama’s and The Papas who said it right: “I’d be safe and warm if I was in LA”.

Anyway, while temperatures continue to dip and yet another snowstorm is brewing for the weekend, we’ve got sunny springtime in NYC on our minds. And while California sure possesses an appetizing flair, springtime in New York just can’t be beat.

So what are we forecasting once the weather forecast gets warmer? Florals, fringe, and flare that’s what. We picked up tons of floral shift dresses, fringe kimonos, and 70’s inspired flared tops and bottoms. Take a peek at our preview below, and be sure to stay tuned for truck stops in the next few weeks!

Daytrippin’ to the Trade Shows

Earlier this month, we headed to the Javits Center and attended Fame and Accessories The Show to get first dibs on Spring buying. As usual, the large convention center was packed with various brands and stunning styles for the new season – a shopper’s dream really! But we stayed focused and picked out the best of best for you – and boy did we score some funky fresh threads!

On board the truck this Spring (and online – more details coming soon!), you’ll find tons of embroidered peasant tops and crochet cardigans. Our affinity for the kimono is still going strong, and we’ve got some beautiful floral and fringe babies on order.

Some standouts that we just might steal for ourselves: this killer tribal jacket by our fave Under Skies, and this cropped white embroidered top (pair it with a printed maxi skirt and floppy hat for an instant Cali beach babe look).

Stay tuned for more updates on Spring styles – we’re making a trip out west at the end of February to stock up on even more goodness 🙂

‘Cause The Free Wind is Blowing Through Your Hair

In early April, Nomad held it’s very first photo shoot and enjoyed a few hours of country breeze and relaxation in Cold Spring, NY.

Riding up Route 9 in my little VW, the crisp country air reminded me for a second of how simple everything really is – err, should be. I couldn’t help but belt out the lyrics to America’s Ventura Highway (featured in this post’s title for all you out there who didn’t grow up under the rock lovin’ supervision of hippie parents.)

The shoot had a much similar vibe to the classic rock tune and the way I felt that morning driving on the open road – free, easy, laid back. Stylist Miranda Neri played with native inspired prints against white backdrops while photographer Emily Spratt (http://emsprattphotography.tumblr.com/) incorporated the natural happenings of the landscape behind us. And of course, our stunning model Ali Thompson brings it all together so seamlessly.

Check out the sneak peek below and the full photo album here.
