My boyfriend edited Autumn de Wilde's book of photography on Beck, so we went to the book signing. Here are some photos of our awesome evening:

We watch as Beck doodles in my book.

Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony hit today and these leopard high tops are calling my name really bad.

Chanel Boy Bag- Freja approved

2011-11-26T17:24:00.001-08:00

This bag is not for ladies who lunch.

Chanel Boy Bag

2011-11-21T20:44:00.000-08:00

I've never fallen victim to NEEDING a Chanel bag. But the Boy Bag might be a different story. I love it's size (medium pictured), the chain that looks really heavy (but is actually very light), and the fact that it is like a book with its name on the spine. I told my boyfriend that I am at the age where a Chanel bag is appropriate. He said that was stupid. But I'm still looking...

Abbey Lee Maniamania Immortal Ring

Two images above from Bona Drag

I had been eyeing the Maniamania immortal ring for a long, long, time now. But the limited edition Abbey Lee Kershaw collaboration ring with the amethyst faceted crystal stone was just too much to resist. I think it will be here Wednesday (which cannot come soon enough). The next ring haunting my dreams in the Maniamania Patti ring inspired by Patti Smith's tattoo designed by Valli Myers.

Addiction

2011-11-14T10:43:00.000-08:00

It's safe to say that my Pamela Love addiction has reached pretty epic proportions. It's no wonder my savings account is in a sad state. If you need a dealer, I recommend Bona Drag.

Rodarte in print

2011-11-14T10:12:00.000-08:00

If you're a fan of Rodarte, I highly recommend this book. I got it for my birthday from the boyfriend. I'll never be able to own one of their gowns, so this is the closest I will get. Anna Sheffield Chasse pinky ring, Anna Sheffield + Lindsey Thornburg teardrop ring, Iosselliani snake ring all available from Bona Drag.

pretty pretty

2011-11-14T09:50:00.001-08:00

Another reason to love Bona Drag. They've got the prettiest boxes and wrapping. I swear, I wrap every present in their snake tissue paper!

Sisters of Mercy? Really?

2011-11-14T09:43:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I wore my Obesity and Speed Poncho and Pamela Love rosary dagger to Safeway. My boyfriend said I looked like a member of Sisters of Mercy and he looked like a member of Archers of Loaf. Also pictured is the Iosselliani snake ring and Anna Sheffield teardrop ring. (All items from Bona Drag.)

My sister just got engaged a couple of weeks ago, so I've been looking at wedding dresses to help her out. Kate Shillingford's custom Gareth Pugh gown is stunning!! And nothing my sister would even consider. (We're night and day. I'm night. She's day.) But oh my god!!! More images on Another Mag.

2011-03-30T20:31:00.000-07:00

Unless you count snipping off split ends- which in my mind doesn't count. Once it's pony tail length, I think it'll be easier. Right now, it's not... I had given up on the hairdryer and straightener, until a few days ago. It's too unruly to go au natural. Hope I can hold out a bit more. But, dude, it's hard.

shaggy love

2011-03-10T09:27:00.001-08:00

Growing my hair out has been painful. There are days that are difficult to even leave the house- like this morning. I've basically given up the hairdryer and straigtener, so thing have become, well, a little....funky. But I'm staying strong. A little longer. A little longer. A little longer. This photo from STREETFSN made me feel a little bit better about embracing the shagginess. I mean, she's cute. Really cute.

Prism of London

2011-03-05T15:37:00.000-08:00

I finally got lenses put in my Prism of London Rio glasses, and they don't make me feel dizzy! I hate adjusting to new prescriptions, so it's nice to put on a pair of new glasses and not feel like the floor is jumping. Just wore a pretty basic jeans and tee shirt outfit:

muscle tee- sophomore from bona drag

high waisted jeans- judi rosen
bag- proenza schouler ps11
shoes- swedish hasbeens peep toe super high
bracelets- maniamania from bona drag

My boyfriend and I went out to Thai food, shopped a little, and stopped by Mission Minis for a whole lotta cupcakes. But these high waisted jeans do not leave much room for things like cupcakes (or breathing for that matter).

Could Julia Frakes be any cuter?

2011-02-23T20:33:00.001-08:00

I found these Pamela Love A/W 2011 photos (credited to Fred Holston). I mean, does it get any better than this? For real.

new specs?

2011-02-20T18:18:00.001-08:00

I recently went to the optometrist, and my prescription has changed a little since the last time. So inevitably, I'm thinking about getting my new prescription filled. I can't stop thinking about Prism of London's Rio frame in crystal grey. Can I get away with this color? Should I just do it or what?

happy when it rains

2011-02-18T15:37:00.000-08:00

Managed to take a half-assed outfit shot today (in the kitchen because stepping outdoors in the rain was out of the question). My Chloe Sevigny boots showed up yesterday. I usually allow myself one piece in her collection, though last year I went a little overboard, or maybe it was a lot overboard. Anyway, I'm digging the boots' 90s-ness.

sweatshirt: Rodarte
grey sweater: silence + noise
floral skirt: vintage
shoes: Chloe Sevigny Nana Biscuit Tongue Boot
bracelets: Maniamania eye bangle, Maniamania parallel universe bangle, Pamela Love talon cuff

2011-02-06T19:27:00.000-08:00

In an attempt to take more wardrobe photos, here's what a wore today- vintage Dio shirt, Proenza Schouler PS1 bag, Seychelles heels, and Alexander McQueen skull aviator sunglasses...None of which is particularly interesting, but I'm making more of an effort to take wardrobe photos- and my b.f. just happened to have his camera out today. On another note, I quit doing my hair. No blowdrying, no straightening, nothing. It has been really liberating. Now if I could resist dying it...

more Proenza eye candy

2011-01-24T19:25:00.000-08:00

I found this gorgeous PS11 in gray on The Coveted. If I didn't already have it in saddle, I'd be foaming at the mouth...

Proenza Schouler PS1 in black is utterly perfect. This is from a new blog called the locals. I dig it! Check it out.

Balmain at last! An acid-wash dream come true.

2011-01-23T15:35:00.001-08:00

At some point in December I temporarily lost my mind and bid on a pair of acid wash Balmain jeans, and won them. But they were from Brazil and took FOREVER to get here. They seriously sat in customs for about a month. I never thought they'd arrive- until yesterday came. An acid wash dream come true.

Outfit details:
sunglasses- Rayban
striped boat neck and cardigan- urbn
eye bangle- maniamania from bona drag
talon cuff- pamela love
bag- proenza schouler ps1
boots- h&m

Just picked up Lula magazine Number 11 ( guest edited by Laura and Kate Mulleavy) and have fallen in love with this Marc Jacob's (pale pink? nude?) dress with the giant sparkly bow. I need it! For what occasion? I have no idea. But I will make it mine. I will make it mine...

My boyfriend snapped this photo months ago while I was waiting for a seitan cheese steak. And looking at it makes me very thankful for the jewelry I've acquired over the past year. Like I should basically wear this every day!

and here it is...

2010-12-20T13:16:00.000-08:00

My Christmas present to myself- the 3.1 Phillip Lim leopard leather jacket!! I wanted to keep it in its box and unwrap it with the family on Christmas. But really, once I put it on my body, I haven't been able to keep it off. Weak. I know.

(images from jak & jil)

A few weeks ago I had gone to work with this bracelet on, and discovered when I got home, that the bracelet was not around my wrist. Panic set it! Did I leave it at work? Was it stolen? What the hell man? It was late when I noticed it missing, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep not knowing where my bracelet was. So I made the hour long round trip back to work. As I got to my classroom a janitor was finishing up with cleaning and surprised to see running to my desk. It was sitting on my desk, right next to my computer. Safe. I love this bracelet. And it was worth the trip.

Valentina Vos

2010-09-07T22:00:00.001-07:00

Valentina Vos

I just read about Valentina Vos, and was inspired to poke around on the internet to see what she's all about. Because basically, well, she's cute as hell. She's from the Netherlands, and has a photography book out called One Seventy Four- which essentially captures girls being girls. Some of these images are from her book, and others are from her flickr, which is where I'm going to be until I figure out how to get my hands on her book...

Thar she sulks

2010-09-06T19:26:00.000-07:00

So, it's been about seven weeks since my last haircut- and it's showing. I'm sporting a bulky mushroom head. But fortunately it's past the tips of my ears! Headbands have helped a bit- but they hurt because my head is large. I've been wearing hats a lot more too, and I love this Brixton Pack Bowler. I should have ordered it in black too... I know this doesn't really show hair growth, and I know that I planned on taking a photo every week- but no one wants to look at this mess. So there.

kind of major...

2010-08-31T19:44:00.000-07:00

Rachel Zoe just said "That was one of those surreal moments where I'm like 'I love my job'...when you're sitting there watching these beautiful clothes come down the runway and these girls, and then all of a sudden Stevie Nicks starts singing and I was like 'Is that really happening?' It was kind of major. That was combining two like fantasies. Fashion and Stevie."

Samantha Pleet Fall 2010

2010-08-22T18:58:00.000-07:00

I love how Samantha Pleet's looks always show a lot of leg without ever looking too sexy. Maybe it's because everything is paired with flats. (Are they all Osborn's?) I'm not sure when this stuff is available- but I might need the black cape, a plaid dress, and maybe some shorts, and...

Take a Bow

2010-08-22T16:05:00.000-07:00

Today I was on a mission to buy scarves- a bunch of scarves. I figure I'll tie things around my head for months. After scoring some nice dead stock vintage scarves, I realized that a couple of images on Stylesightings have subconsciously been on the brain...

thar she grows...week one

2010-08-18T17:36:00.000-07:00

Something's happened being a brunette. I want hair. Like to pile on top of my head. And um, I can't do that- at all... So while driving to work on Monday morning, (wish I could remember what I happened to be listening to) I made the decision to grow it out. Get through the awkward three months looking like I did in seventh grade. Because between this length and a rockin' bowl cut or a mini-bob are MONTHS of waiting... And I'm impatient. So I'm going to document the growth every week. Hopefully, little by little, I'll see changes. I had an appointment for a cut next week, but I canceled it. I know you're "supposed" to trim it every six weeks. But I sort of want to punish myself a little bit and wait. I'm not sure how long. October? November? In the meantime, I'm waiting for Mr. UPS to show up with another hat...

(5 weeks since last haircut, and just barely skimming top of ears)

The Favor

2010-08-16T17:49:00.000-07:00

I got an email from my friend Angel, asking me to do her a "HUGE" favor. (She really typed the word huge in all caps.) Anyway, when we think of huge favors- what comes to mind? Driving a U-Haul? Moving boxes up and down stairs? Basically stuff that sucks, right? The word favor implies that you're putting someone out. Well, she was styling a photo shoot at her house, and wanted to use some of my jewelry. Favor? Are you kidding? What's better than getting to participate in watching a model get all dolled up and piling jewelry on her? Count me in!!
Angel has collected a lot of vintage nighties over the years and we ending up pairing them with some less than delicate jewelry- Pamela Love, Bliss Lau, Hermes, and Eddie Borgo. Anyway, it was a blast- and here are a few images that I took (which are nowhere near as good as those of the photographer).

(Plus Bandit! Cause look at him!)
