I Miss Summer...

Why is it that it feels like Summer right now?

I wish I had a legit winter weather this year...

Although I love the warmth of summer...

There's something depressing about the rain that I miss...

I know it sounds strange...

But it makes me appreciate summer time so much more...

When I've had such a crappy winter season...

And for some reason...

During cold seasons...

People come together...

Maybe it's that depressing feeling where people start to feel vulnerable?

Plus I miss wearing my high tops and short short daisy dukes

And the irritation I feel when people ask me "Aren't you cold??"

And quickly shrugging them off, I reply "No my legs don't get cold"...

Bullshit...

I'm cold as hell...

But sometimes you have the urge to wear those forbidden shorts...

After wearing the same big coat and favorite black scarf day after day...

And I know every girl has a pair...

Don't lie...

We ALLLLLL know...

How much you love those shorts...

Here you go...for those days...where you have the courage to put those bad boys on...

These Really Do Hurt Like Hell....

The pain is totally worth it...

Too bad they are a tad big on me...

I'm a size 5 in a half and the smallest they come in are a 6...

wah wah for me...

But that doesn't necessary mean that I can't make them fit....

Put a insole in these bad boys and you've got yourself a winner...

Give them a shot...

Their not as bad as they look....*smirk*

A Woman's Scent Says A Lot...

 

Don't you think...

"Crispy green leaf top notes and a musky, incense-infused base elegantly expressing the Margiela vision..."

Exclusively @ Saks

Haven't been this excited about a fragrance since Jo Malone...

Happy Birthday Grace...

Dear Grace,

I know at times we have our differences...

Many times...

And we don't understand why we are the way we are...

And we silently fight...

Knowing, but not admitting...

And simply avoiding...

And in the end I think we unknowingly blame our prides

But what I love the most is this...

When we get together we simply laugh it off...

Yes...

Laughter...

That's what we have in common...

That's what holds us together...

Is our common laughter for life...

Our humor...

(Or should I say our stupidity)

That's what I love the most about us...

At our toughest moments...

We deliver each others laughter...

And everything....

Somehow goes right back to normal for that moment...

And we are happy again...

I hope I'm never without you...

You guide me...

Back to me...

And there's not a lot of people that can do that...

Love You...my sister and my best friend...

I hope one day when we are fighting...

You go back to this blog and maybe...

Just maybe...

You'll call me and say...

"Hey...I just re-read your blog...and I know it's your fault and all, but can you please say sorry and can we be friends again?"

HAHAHAHA

Because you know better than anyone...

I avoid problems...

And sometimes...

You are my problem

HAHAHAHAHA

Love you...forreals.

Here you go...

Candies & Lighters

Finally back after a long break...

The smell of summer swept me in...

And I'm itching for a new summerish perfume...

Candy? By Prada...

I must go visit it...

"I need to know your scent just in case you get lost"

Wood Wedges...

And hang loose apron like minis...

These get me going...

And expensive backpacks are meant to be worn with pearled bees...

Is that a double mint gum lighter?

It sure is...

That way people won't "accidentally" take it home...

Boyfriends are meant to cherished

Summer is meant for tanning

And martinis are meant to sipped...

Not devoured...

Everything in moderation...

But during summer time...

We can all get a away with a little bit of everything...

Beach days are here...

Saturday Afternoon Delight

Damage done for next month...

Does this mean I should stop?

Who cares....

It's too late to start caring now...

About almost everything

It's been better that way...

But I'm afraid that I'm almost TOO careless

Too much of anything is bad...

My mom always tells me that

Actually...I think everyone that knows me pretty well tells me that...

Oh well...

I can't change what people think about me or anything for that matter

Does that mean I don't think that highly of myself?

Because I feel like I have such little effect on others?

No...

I just don't care

Well actually...

I do care a little...

*smirk*

Just got back from Barnes and Nobles and finally bought "100 Contemporary Fashion Designers"

Now time to look through it...

Rag & Bone DIY Project

 From the official Rag & Bone Website:

"Download flyers on rag-bone.com and post them around your city! Then email an image of the poster(s) to DIY@rag-bone.com, where you'll be automatically entered to win tickets to the rag & bone Fall 2011 Fashion Show in New York. Two runners-up will receive a D.I.Y. Project poster signed by Edita, Lily, Abbey Lee and Sasha, as well as David Neville and Marcus Wainwright."

And By Kelly O'Reilly from NBC New York:

"Designers Marcus Wainwright and David Neville turned the tables by tasking the models to shoot themselves for the new ads, kicking off the company's newest push.

The designers explained their approach to WWD quite simply: “It’s about real people and real clothes, clothes that we want people to wear and feel good in." 

To kick off the massive spring marketing campaign, more than 1,000 posters and fliers were plastered across buildings in downtown Manhattan, featuring self portraits of models Abbey Lee Kershaw, Edita Vilkeviciute, Sasha Pivovarova and Lily Aldridge, let loose in the city. Think casually styled rag & bone on fresh-faced and makeup-free tousled beauties as they frolic about on their hipster-ish hijinks.

On top of the fliers out in the field, the campaign continues online, with Elettra Wiedemann, Details editor Eugene Tong, Marie Claire editor Taylor Tomasi Hill, Jay Massacret of V magazine, Bunny Bisous blogger Julia Frakes and Sean Sullivan of The Impossible Cool contributing their own pictures online, alongside the brand's new e-commerce launch.

Ryan Gosling...Your Face Makes Me Happy

Supposedly...

Great weather in L.A.

But I wouldn't know...

I'm stuck behind these walls

With the cold central A/C on

And a portable mini heater on the floor to my left burning up my calf

I must be a little late

but Ryan Gosling...

Charmer...

Looking at his face...

All up in the January 2011 issue of  GQ

It helps...

To look sometimes

Target is evil...

Went in to buy a few things and left with like 100 bucks worth of "I need this..."

Stopped by the Nordstroms in Santa Monica

Had a whole section of perfection...

Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang, Elizabeth & James, Rag & Bone, and Helmut Lang...

(they don't have all these at the one in the Southbay Area...no wonder)

I've already looked and felt their collection this season earlier this month...

But THAT feeling never gets old...

The softness of their tees and ribbed tanks...

The way there's always a 5mm of space in between each piece...

I hate when clothes are hung tight against eachother...

We don't give them a chance to breathe...

To hang loose... 

"Only you are crazy enough to think a shirt and a pair of trousers need to breathe....you are insane"

This is what my friends would say to me...

Yes,

They're my friends...

And a pen... 

To circle all the things you love about him...

And that doesn't mean it has to be Ryan Gosling...

For me...

It's been someone else lately...

Circling all the thing I like about him...

In my head...

California Weather Is Such A Tease Sometimes...

It's that time of the year in California where the weather goes back and forth

Teasing us for what's to come

Cold...

Then Mildly Warm...

Then Cold Again...

Then scorching for about an hour

So make sure you have a blazer or a light jacket with you at all times

Because goosebumps and shivering doesn't look good on a girl...

No one wants to date a cold cold girl

In such a cruel cruel world...

Here you go...

An outfit for those days when your just not sure if it will be Cool...or Slightly Warm...

ACNE Men's Pre-Fall 2011

"It's that moment when you're not grown up and at the same time, not a kid. The kind of sexual energy that brings."

- creative director Jonny Johansson

Youthful cuts...

Meaning

Slightly cropped suit pants...

Shiny patent boots...

And lots of different styled coats...

ACNE has a playful man in mind

But this boy's not playing in dirt...

You can tell...

This boy has his stuff together.

Monday,

L
