Zara blazer. Rampage lace top. Urban Outfitters bandeau, belt and shoes. Express shorts. Topshop earrings

Yes, LA has the terrible traffic, but when it’s still 70 degree something weather in November, I can’t complain (reason I’m wearing these shorts).  I’m glad I never got rid of this 8+ year old lace number from Rampage because it has come in handy for layering things over and underneath it.

Picked up the oversized blazer (with shoulder pads – Score!), necklace and fringe boots at the Rose Bowl Flea Market this past weekend.  The blazer is actually from We Move Vintage (new LA online vintage boutique) and joins my ever-growing collection of black blazers.  Not to mention I’m eagerly anticipating the arrival of this gem from Nasty Gal Vintage.

Usually I’d wish you all a Happy Hump Day but just attempted to search for another term and discovered that some people refer to it as ‘the week’s belly button’.  So happy ‘the week’s bellybutton’!  Just doesn’t sound the same… xoxo

And let me stay here for a while

Urban Outfitters dress worn as top & shorts. Vintage necklace and Cole Haan shoes. Fishnet thigh high stockings from costume store

I’m now convinced that thigh high stockings elongate your legs.  I’ll be flea marketing this weekend at the Rose Bowl and hope to find some good stuff. Have a fabulous weekend!

Goo Goo over GaGa

The idea to be Lady GaGa was a last minute decision based on what I already had in my closet.  With just the blonde wig and a cheap pair of sunglasses to buy, I wore my H&M jacket, Silence & Noise zipper bodysuit via Urban Outfitters, Jeffrey Campbell Carry OTK boots and borrowed Mel’s Topshop leopard-print sequin shorts and Bebe blue fishnet stockings. 

We went out in West Hollywood on Halloween night which was pure craziness.  My fav costume was this dude dressed as Falcor (the luck dragon) from The Never Ending Story.  Hilarity ensued when people started yelling lines from the movie after realizing it was Falcor. 

I’m glad all it took was the blonde wig, sunglasses and a part of my ass to hang out of the hotpants for people to realize who I was dressed as.  Got a kick out of people wanting to take a photo with me just because it was ‘Lady GaGa.’

As always, thanks for reading!  I’m behind on getting back to comments but promise to return the favor this week. xo

Backstage at Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion LA

I’m wearing a Hurley dress, H&M jacket, Bebe belt, Jeffrey Campbell Mel shoes (that you can’t see), necklace and bracelet via Varga and Topshop bag (to lug my Rebel camera around).  Mel (my twinny) is wearing my vintage 80’s dress via Nasty Gal.

It was great to finally meet Nora from Fashion + Geometry (3rd from left)!

Host of the night, Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang Theory, dressed in the latest plastic fashion trends

Below are some shots I snapped backstage before the shows kicked off.  The models all looked so amazing… and now I want to go out and buy a hair crimper.

Last night’s 12th Annual Gen Art “Fresh Faces in Fashion” Show presented by Plastics Make it Possible was amazing.  Held at the Petersen Automotive Museum, it was the Official Opening Show for Rock Fashion Week Los Angeles and showcased cutting-edge designers and artists, and how plastics are shaping the future of fashion and design.

Womenswear designers Leyendecker, Rory Beca, Seneca Rising, Valerj Pobega and menswear designer MG Black rocked the runway.  Really liked all the collections but my personal fav was Seneca Rising for the vibe of the overall show and styling.  I’ll be posting photos of some choice runway looks, but in the meantime, hope you enjoyed seeing my photography skills put to the test backstage.

Hope you all have a fun Halloween weekend!

I spend my time just thinkin’ ’bout you

Choice items that I’d like to see magically appear in my closet… instead of my dreams.
