Black Snake Moan



Vintage shirt and shorts. Deena & Ozzy boots.

I decided to be a little Sci-fi the other day and revisit this amazing shirt I found at a thrift store last year on my birthday. Such a great find! I can't decide wether it's more 90's boy band or Bill Nye the Science Guy chic. Either way, I love it. And those great D&O boots: So comfortable. I can walk for days in those babies.

New York fashion week is coming to a close, and as I won't be posting about all the shows I like, I'll give you a few designers that I thought were great for Spring... I loved Alexander Wang as evidenced by my last post. Rodarte was amazing, not their usual stitched together dresses. Loved the kiddish seventies vibe. Proenza Schouler was great, reintroducing me to long, artsy necklaces and confirming my love for transparency. And my hometown hero, Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. with her prints and her drop-crotch pants. Can't wait to see what London, Milan and Paris will bring!

And Lastly, yesterday, one of my favorite teachers from high school passed away. This post is for you, Mr. Quigley.

Alexander Wang S/S 2011

I think there's no question that Alexander Wang is this generation's Helmut Lang. His Spring collection is incredible! No signs of black anywhere (a fact that is bittersweet to me...) but amazing shoes and pants as always. He is easily my new favorite.

Rhapsody In Blue



Vintage coat. Steve Madden shoes. F21 glasses.

I found this insane denim overcoat a few days ago and had to have it. It's just a piece of clothing that exudes sheer lunacy. Not sure where to wear this to, but I'm thinking something art-related. Artists might get a kick out of it.

Camel Crush



Vintage blazer. F21 t-shirt, boots and ring. Tyte jeans. H&M bag. Thrifted scarf.

Thank you, Mother Nature, for finally giving me an excuse to wear a blazer/scarf/boot combination again. The ever-so-schizophrenic weather of California has once again taken a turn for the grey. I'm totally happy, as I love cold weather (however it's still not cold enough to rock a fur. Well, maybe...) I decided to take one of my favorite vintage buys out on Tuesday. I got this camel blazer at least a year ago and I realize I've never posted it on my blog before. So this is its debut. I'm deeply obsessed with camel right now, as well as any shade of nude, bone, and taupe. Such easy colors to wear with everything. Now, if I could just find a pair of camel pants...

Eat Pray Love




Vintage Pierre Cardin shirt, H&M knit vest and bag, Tyte jeans, Zara booties.

My idea of a good Friday night: Art, food, and friends. My night started with the LACMA with my friend Ali. I recommend visiting LACMA if you are as much of a fan of contemporary art as I am. That led to us walking around the La Brea tarpits next door (or falling around, in my case). We went to dinner after (Romano's Macaroni Grill: delicious!) and then to see Eat Pray Love. I loved it! It's like a self-help book in a movie. So amazing and inspiring.

Expect to see this vest much much more as the weather gets cooler. Such a good buy at H&M ($20!) and it goes with absolutely everything!
