the room is on fire, and she's fixing her hair

 

you know what else is on fire? my burnt orange shirt! wowzee--bright, dude---sooo here's a little post from my hippie love cave. haven't given it much action but zoey came over with her rad paparazzi camera and took a couple snaps---thought you might wanna see where the collection is stored...and yes, i took the sliding doors off of my closet....all the better to see you with my dear...and i was drinking orange juice because everyone around me is sick---not because it was trying to match my beverages to my shirt. although it really does tie the whole look together. p.s. this little white beauty, you have probably seen her before, she rules my world.

laces out

 

 

layered lace diaper day. i love these shorts, but they are a little boyshort underwear that you are attempting to wear in place of pants--which is fiiine with me. i mean have you seen the pockets i call cutoffs? can't wait to bust these out in the summer. california is really quite annoying in the winter, i gotta tell you. its so in between--not cold enough to get your bundle on, not warm enough to let it all hang out. clearly haven't fixed the camera....comic strip strikes again. going to buy a new camera sunday. ideas?

you can do it put your back into it

 

if i'm obsessed with something, and it comes in another color, chances are i'm doubling up. is that wrong? this is the dark biker side of my favorite little lace dress---it's angelic creamy sister worn here. this is the night moves version. plus when it's dark, you can be extra cheeky and go sans slip. then you get the omg-she's-not-wearing-a-slip gaspy vibes. tsk tsk style. and yes, my old hair (r.i.p.) my camera is buggin out and i had to delve into last week's pics so it's gonna be a little ombre here, blonde there!

crazy milky sake

 

a day off. hallelujah! sushi dinner. mmm...drank some sake, spilled some sake, then said "cat" (?), then swigged it because i thought it was my beer....then swiftly left. the whole time wearing my favorite little knit mayle (<3) top with the fantastic strappy straps and cute little buttons. we captured the crazy milky moment with some crazy milky pictures. p.s. apparently they thought it was still christmas in this little downtown village.

i like mike (& chris)

 

 

 

 

 

some of my favorite looks from the last mike&chris lookbook i did. i loved this shoot---had a camp counselor vibe that i was way into, and seriously the best jackets, i was dying---a little sporty, a little paddington bear, a little aviator....always wayyy easier to style a shoot when you actually like the clothes let me tell you. don't think i didn't get a jacket (or two! and a sweater. and a pair of pants. oh my).

i walk the line

 

wearing my edward scissorhands jeans. these are notttt the best option if it's cold outside, let me tell you. probably should've gathered that as i was walking out knowing it was in the 50's today. once i felt my full leg ventilation it really drove the point home and i knew i was making a mistake. but it was too late. so i owned it. what else can you do?  and here's a little more velvet just to carry on my 3 day in a row velvet-a-thon. another thing that i love equally as much as velvet? velveeta! so good. mac&cheese. mmmmm......im hungry. a little easy mac does a body good. off subject. this is what happens when i post so late. which is always.

to live and die in l.a.

 want to be eating this now. right now.

 grabbed a holiday flavored drink, of course...probably more cals than that cheese plate. damn you starbucks.

 hit up a creepy melrose store and z found this vest for me. she grabbed it on the rack and said "look at this hippie jam jackal vest for you". her description alone sold me before i even laid eyes on it. one look and the rest is history. can't wait to wear this little number. i look like i'm holding up a prize.

 

 

 

 and i'm back! too much jager+champagne= lazy blogger new year's weekend. these pics are from my calm before the alcohol induced storm. took in some local sites with zoey, inspired me to use a tupac song as a post title. it was actually cold, so a layered bag lady look did the trick. and yes, the hat again. it's covering my transitional hair. have since given it a rest, not to worry. this bag is the big boy version of the tiny little red nugget from the last post. velvet anything pretty much gets me every time. and a burnout is a guaranteed buy. i <3 you, velvet. most of the time. you can go wrong. very, very wrong.
