love me

some cat eyes...

f21 tee, raybans

many times i've gazed along the open road

i need to get going, i need to finish this cup of coffee and shower
i need to listen to over the hills & far away one more time
this entire look is secondhand 'cept the beanie and socks... i don't think i've ever bought socks secondhand now that i think about it... although i've stolen quite a few pairs from my mom in the name of "borrowing"
but that doesn't count, she is my mom ;)

so i just reread this post to proof it and the first couple lines reminded me of this video.

ps i forgot to mention that i have a crush on the grrl painted above... and i wanted to document her face before she went away as street art often does... she reminds me of a fafi grrl...

the lunatic is on the grass

oh man, the last couple days here in l.a. have been blazing!!!! crazy blazing! like gypsy grrl hasn't left the house blazing...
so these were taken right before the current heat wave... this is the fuzzy zara thing i told you 'bout... i foresee that it will be in heavy rotation this fall and winter. i'm loving the neutral blush color and the loop carpet bottom :D

~i am a music nerd
~i made a fort today
~thanks kimberellie for the sweet award. much love to you. i love your blog. and i give you the first ever cutest of the cute award!
~check out my interview on walk of fashion!!! thanks isabel! you rock!

these are my favorite shoes by the way. i've had them for a longlong time. got them on ebay. i saw them a while back in red and REALLY regret not bidding...

these were taken a couple weeks ago when i went to see inception. i loved it. leonardo dicaprio is brilliant as ever, but man marion cotillard... what a stunner. i mean she is no doubt a brilliant actress (see la vie en rose if you haven't) but on top of that she is gorgeous! and she was THE ultimate ghostly beauty in inception.

yup, this is one of the scarves i got at f21 last time i was there... yes, those are little puff balls hanging from it... and yes, i got it in black too. the black doesn't have the lace like this one, but i love them both.

(vintage diy slip-last seen here), aa bra, f21 scarf, nastygal ruched with love socks, acne shank boots, vintage barneys bag, samesame jewelry)

i have been searching for round rose colored sunnies for what seems like FOREVER. some of you who are regulars here may remember this post... well, i still haven't procured any. these two are the row x linda farrow and are also perfect! i may just give in a buy them at barneys when they are available...

i ♥ the blue too

i saw these over at royalbluemoss!!!!
i've been in love with bowie since i was 14 so these were love at first sight.
although the litas are great, i wasn't sold until this! hot freakN damn is all i'm gonna say...

but whoever knew the voodoo you'd do?

i'm starting to lose track of time... i think these were taken two weekends ago... but i'm not sure. maybe i need coffee... but i'm trying to cut back a bit... just one more.
i got this skirt for two bucks at goodwill... they had a skirt half off day...
a couple things...
1/i wasn't hiking in the last outfit post... i parked right next to where i took the photos :) i am more than comfortable walking in heels for hours on end, but i don't have a death wish haha!
2/the title is from a lauryn hill song. her solo album is classic
3/i've been so busy it's unbelievable
4/i'm gonna have another coffee right now
5/summer has finally arrived here in l.a. and i'm loving it!
6/i wear minnetonka moccasins like everyday. i swear by them. i don't really do flip flops.
6/i haven't been eating cheese lately... but dang this lunch was GOOD...


four cheese ravioli and artichoke mushroom pizza from the star cafe.

i guess i am anticipating fall like everyone else although i do feel as though summer hasn't really arrived here in l.a. yet...
maybe i just have a lot of summer stuff... this week i got this striped sweater from f21 along with two light weight scarfs that have pompoms.... yes! i love them... can't wait to show you. the sweater rocks too... sooo smooshy. you can find it on their website which i linked below. they also have it in other colors... hmmmm???

spring is in my boots

the sun was glorious this weekend
i started a new book
wore this sweater three days in a row and will probably wear it again tomorrow
my shower head broke off and i've been taking baths for a week now... love it, kinda slows your day down a bit when you have to run a bath...

no longer, no longer

didn't make it to the movies this weekend, but i did watch capote (starring philip seymour hoffman) at home... it was really good... was curious to see the performance that beat heath ledgers ennis del mar... and it didn't disappoint. i sometimes don't understand how they give academy awards, as it's such a matter of opinion. but i love watching all the nominees... which i haven't normally seen because i'm just not into "big" movies...

had fun in downtown. i don't normally like driving and parking in downtown l.a., but once i'm there i always enjoy walking around the city... i definitely feel like i should be more familiar with it..

and i go back to black

more me...
i've kinda been "blog friendly" and i think i'm gonna put more me into it... not that any of it wasn't me... i think i might have been being a little safe. and i prefer not to be... as i think it limits the possibilities of unpredictability (in general, not blog wise).... and it's boring taboot...

so... yeah.

i love black... and this slip is perfect... well, after chopping it a bit...

a bit;
i read a lot... i love movies, but don't have a tv, i watch dvds in my room projected on the wall.. i need underwear, but buy kimonos.. i drink too much coffee (almost always iced).. i pretty much exclusively shop either online or at salvation army.. i don't have many friends but like people.. i am good with my hands.. i am the kid who was supposed to do more.. i'm saving to go to paris... i love boots.. i am the worst of two worlds, a pessimistic hippie and a sweet goth so no one really likes me even though they relate or they like me and then realize i have strange opinions and would rather have small talk or just see me once in a while... i don't really eat sweets, i love burritos and i take everything spicy if possible... i can't decide if i should put music on my blog because i know it annoys some people, but sometimes music says more about someone than words on a page...


toi on sunset... the best peanut sauce EVER!
