versatility is an important attribute to have for any young woman today. and nobody knows that better than our little lady joy, pictured here in a classic vintage floral number and again, several weeks ago, in a little black dress. i don’t know her so well, but she works for this sneaker emporium called union, so its my bet that she is surrounded by testosterone and trainers most days. in order to survive that, she would surely have to be the kind of girl who can hold her own in any situation and for that i salute her.

just your average sunday morning at rosebowl flea markets in pasadena as a young stud who appreciates vintage sneakers, stussy t-shirts and the color lime green poses obligingly…

lady of all things clever and witty, laurie pike knows a thing or two about twirling on the streets of LA and paris, respectively. when she’s not decked out in rick owens (she used to work with him back in the day), the los angeles magazine style editor works that pristine LA look of hers about town whilst turning heads incessantly thanks to her mind-boggling resemblance to raven-haired beauties cate blanchett and lucille ball. not even pulitzer prize winners can attract attention like she can. work it girlfriend!

because making friends with a sweet, young romanian girl wearing leopard print AND a turban to a nike party on a friday night is SO LA!!

whoever said gold-speckled cats eye glasses and a turquoise coral necklace wouldn’t match?

introducing kris moyes. he’s a director. the kind of guy you like to can make jokes with, as well as attempt impersonations, and in general out-do one another in the game of “who can be the bigger dork?” its one thing to say you never forget a face, but its another to say you’re bad with names. don’t forget this one: kris moyes. he just shot a music video named “buttons” by sia which is creating mayhem and has a bunch of other stuff set to unveil shortly. new director whiz-kid in effect. maxi-creative and an all-round funny guy.

i think i was so impressed by this girl’s evident appreciation for textile and print, teamed with her super-suspicious look here in this photo, it slipped my mind to ask her name. she’s a definite beauty. what an expression! so hesitant and childlike. this would make for a great character study.

yet another uncanny parallel between paris and LA. diane (top) does it frenchy style whilst marcella (below), rocks it the LA way. score!

i met renata last week at the moss store opening on melrose avenue (she works for the PR company who handled the event). after being introduced to her i immediately asked about her dress. “its vintage” she said. “of course it is” i responded. then i took a closer look at her gold-plated necklace. she told me it was her name in hebrew.
