Coachella Crazy.

These past few weeks have been insane to say the least, and I am just about ready to turn in my denim cutoffs and crop tops for something well... a little more substantial. Maybe it's reaching my 1-year mark here in LA (#whoa) or my (sorta) recent trip to NYC, but my heart is kinda pining for some chunky layers and chilly nights. File under can't always get what ya want.

A.C. Slater.

Just over a year here ...and I finally ran into A.C. Slater at The Grove while my fam was visitng. Celebrity spotting, indeed.

That's What He Said.

Exactly what I was thinking when I started this blog. 

Thanks to this Greek philosopher for being so much more eloquent than I ever could be.

I mean... are words even necessary? Girl is working it, period.

This Crew Right Here.

When did things get so complicated and confusing? Ok, I know, loaded question...but seriously replace the word things with getting dressed in the morning and you have my daily struggle to put together a serious outfit that is actually worth wearing. Maybe I've been working these buns too hard or maybe I've just felt like I am in need of some wardrobe revamping, but one thing is certain: I miss the easy days. Insert J.Crew's Fall 2013 collection. Timeless, sophisticated and above all else, totally wearable. When again will I be able to shop this? File as back to the closet.

Fucking Love.

When I stumbled upon these teddies a few weeks ago, I knew I had to bookmark it for the big V-Day. Clearly, I am spending this year's 14th by myself (do my new Topshop booties count as a date?) but I am none the happier to be cooking myself a very romantic dinner (salmon and brussel sprouts anyone?) and maybe treating myself to my absolute favorite pre-made dessert (creme brulee via Whole Foods, yummmmm). But I digress! Hope everyone enjoys their Valentine's Day, whether you'll be spending it with this kind of teddy, that kind of teddy, or no teddy at all. File as shit, bitch.

Miss Chloe, Baby.

Had to re-post this quote I threw together for the F21 blog. Chloe is totally stealing my heart right now, and after walking the runway for Rodarte yesterday she has absolutely solidified her rank as one of the models of the moment. File as model crush.

Bad Blogger, Bad Blogger.

Soooo... I may or may not have blown off fashion week festivities to play in the snow with my bestie, spend some time with a very adorable one eyed-cat, shop it up with the rents, and spend nights cozied up in Brooklyn with lots of carbs. But the best part? I wouldn't change a thing. File under until the next one.

New F21 boots and wax-coated J Brands were my saviors (ankles didn't agree)

Central Park the night after Nemo hit. Complete perfection.

What to do in a blizzard? SHOP, DUH. #TopshopTwins

Braved the freeze for Laduree. Best part: no line. 

The Frick's courtyard.

Oh, hi guys.

View of the Public Library, 5th and a peek of Bryant Park from the hotel. 

Shake Shack is the shit. 'Nuff said.

Current Obsessions: Softy.

Decorating my new place has left me with one obsession: lucite ANYTHING.

You had me at light pink lacquer, Ms. Kayture.

Downtown LA flower markets. The BEST. 

I mean, are words even necessary?

And lastly, obsessed with my city. Loving every inch of it.

Valentino Couture Spring 2013.

Valentino was on the garden-themed bandwagon this couture season, and even Pier Paolo and Maria seem to have their house signatures down pat (see structured sheath with cape, long sleeved tiered lace confection, close cut jacket with matching dress) they offered up a sweetest and most fairy-tale like version of the bunch. My personal favorite was that nymph-like water lilly silk blouson dress that could be straight from another era. Call me nostalgic. File under gorgeous.

What's that Jacket Margiela?

Sorry, couldn't help myself with that title. It's really hard not to think of Yeezy's song every time the name Margiela comes up. While I won't use this post as a forum to vent about the recent H&M collabo with the house (UGH) I did want re-post some of the backstage photos from the most recent couture collection (a backstage occurrence I'm pretty sure has never happened until this season.) Ever the controversial/freaking weird design house, I'm sorta feeling their take on the garden theme that was so present at the shows last week. File as fresh to death.
