today i met cindy crawford who turned up to a stella mccartney party with a python-skin gucci bag and leather high heels. which is fair enough i suppose but fifty bucks says she had the option to be dressed by stella – who is notorious for not using leather or any other such animal materials. so i reserve the right to describe cindy as utterly daft for clasping to a dead snake, fronting like that on animal-friendly turf.
maya in los angeles VS ileana in paris.
spotting the parallel’s between stylish young women sporting striped tops and bold bags in both cities respectively is what’s up.
a big-up thanks to i-d for including me in a special blog article featured this month (october issue). they feature 10 images (diane, pictured below represents DELINLEE DELOVELY) from the leading fashion blogs on the web, and even accompany it with an article elaborating on background info for 9 of the 10 blogs. the one blog they forgot to write anything about was – yup, you guessed it, mine. real nice.
in other news, i’m heading to tokyo next week for some harajuku freshness so get set for some japanese street style in full effect, starting tuesday.
i’m totally on the fence when it comes to bleaching your eyebrows. essentially, its different strokes for different folks. what works for some, doesn’t necessarily work for others. whether or not blondies are bleached in these shots below, i cannot say. but what i can say about this, is that for me, once you push aside all of the nicole richie/lindsay lohan clones here in los angeles, this is the quintessential example of a young woman in california and the way she dresses. simple, safe, sun-savvy and always seconds away from laughter.
i can’t decide if i like the shade of her nail polish or her hair style better…
every now and again you come across someone who not only inspires you, they reinforce your belief in terms of what it means to be a success today. for me, doris is the complete package. she’s the founder of a vintage store which i mention regularly on this blog named “the way we wore.” you could call her a walking encyclopedia of style who rises to the challenge of broadening boundaries and pushing envelopes. not content with knowing her stuff and sharing it with the world to see, doris dares to dream. a native of san francisco, today, she calls los angeles home. and isn’t that a blessing for newcomers like myself. respect!
here’s a shot taken last night at the margiela store opening of roman alonso who is one of the founders of greybull press. i first met him in paris about a month prior to moving to los angeles and i can remember him predicting “you’ll love it!” of the move, and sure enough, he was right. i would love to see one of my favorite artists, reas aka todd james, illustrate a personnage of roman. maybe one day…
