(Minnie Mouse + Snafu, my cat) This Halloween beats last years hands down, considering the fact that last year I had the flu. This one I hung out with my friends and generally had a wonderful time. Hope yours was filled with ghouls, goblins, and happy memories. This is the longest my cat Snafu has ever stayed in my arms since becoming a teenager cat. When she was little she used to pass out in my arms like she was dead, but now its all cold stares and general indifference towards me. ( Remind you of any particular stage in life?) She's still great and completely festive for Halloween though. P.s. Check out the two bows I'm sportin' in the pictures. Vintage polka dot dress from England, American Apparel yellow bow, Le Cadeau bow ring , vintage gold necklace.

I went through a fascination with (faux) fur a couple weeks ago and bought this jacket, its the perfect blend of casual and elegant. The dress was an incredible find at the fairfax flea market about a month or so ago. It fits just right. The bracelet is also from the flea, its incredible! I love the crazy colorful patterns. And these earrings.... I bought them in a thrift store in Palm Springs months ago for about $3 and despite wearing them constantly this is the first time they've been on the blog. Ive worn them to school a bunch and when I do some boy will always comment on them. They are a favorite amongst the men. I find that fact hilarious. Oh and yeah. New nail polish. Im digging it. A lot, a lot.

Vintage 70s dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs red tote, Nars lipstick in Heat Wave, vintage belt, Le Cadeau bow ring . About two weeks ago I helped throw a surprise party for my best friend. It was such an incredible success! I'm not exaggerating when I say it was probably the most fun I've ever had. I realized that I could use some of the party photos from that night to form together a post, even though it wasn't the type of event to get a full body outfit shot. The floral dress I wore was vintage 1970s. I found it a couple weeks ago in a vintage store on Melrose. My mom was with me at the time and said that it was the type of dress she would've worn in high school. And as the birthday girl said "I love florals on a black background!" In case you were wondering, for the birthday gift I gave her my collaboration ring with Mr. Kate: The Stylish Wanderer x Mr. Kate presents Le Cadeau bow ring! She fell in love with it when she saw me wear it at school and so of course

When I saw this editorial the word WOW literally slipped from my lips. Even though its a take on mod 60s style I feel like this was distinctly fresh feeling, especially in a fashion world that enjoys the Balmain rocker jackets more than anything. I'd probably never have the guts to pile on so many brights, but I applaud Vogue Germany for trying this. I was going to try to take some pictures this weekend but a bunch of things got in the way on Saturday, and now I have a huge pile of homework to tackle, and on top of all that the rain started today. But! On the bright side I bought a new pair of TOMS yesterday in red, my old army green ones had holes in them, and I'm looking to match it up with a red sweater soon to be purchased on ebay.

This is my favorite sweater, Ive been eagerly awaiting putting it on but its been so hot. Ive taken a little break from AP homework to write this post, its been too long, I have so many things going on, I helped throw a party on Saturday and it was the most fun Ive probably ever had in my life, and Im listening to Marvin Gaye. Oh and Ive been going crazy about Verameat jewelery. Los Angeles high school/teenage style is fairly interesting, especially when you start talking about the social standards that go along with it, and facebook, and the valley kids, and the "King of the Valley Kids." Most of the time the teenagers I hang out with, and the teenagers I see, basically all like to wear earth tones, vintage pieces, florals, and lots and lots of messy bracelets. Theres something about the way these kids dress that's very precious and very sloppy, sometimes a little worn down, all at the same time. For instance, a girl at my school one time wore a big floppy bow in her h

(American Apparel body con dress, NARS lipstick in Heat Wave, Ports 1961 mauve scarf) This past summer I blogged about going to a Pre-Spring Preview of Porst 1961, and briefly talked about a scarf I bought there. Well here it is, finally in detail. Tia Cibani, the creative director at Ports, basically created a masterpiece when she produced this scarf. It is like wearing a piece of art around... so incredible! I bought this one and my aunt bought a cream linen one as well. They were on sale and too good to pass up. There are about a dozen clear snap closures on the edges of the piece so that you can fashion it in multiple ways- wrap it around your body like an apron, let it lie free, tie it around your neck etc. and the accordion type folding makes it ingenious. Sometimes fashion can go wrong, and sometimes it can go very, very right...

Ah, gosh . Thats the first thing that comes to mind when reviewing Rochas Spring 2011. There comes a rare moment in a season when you just believe wholeheartedly in a collection, where you see brilliant piece after brilliant piece and never want it to stop, and I think this is it. While I loved Rodarte, and Proenza, and Jil Sander, I chose to kick off my reviewing season (despite fashion month being almost over) with my favorite collection so far. Rochaaaaas. The palette was lowkey- almost tame, in some places, and then bright and revolutionary in others. I loved the wacky prints, the pale pinks and vivid blues. There were feminine figures and oversized jackets, and it turned into such brilliant feat that I could imagine myself wearing every piece. Especially those voluminous skirted dresses (seen here in the blue pattern and wedding cream colors.) It reminded me of an art museum, and rightly so. These pieces belong in a museum. The whole thing felt distinctly Parisian, and I wish upo
