Magritte Inspired Fashion Editorial


Feast your eyes on Andrew Matusik's 'Sir Realist' editorial inspired my surrealist extraordinaire Rene Magritte. It's so refreshing, artistic, genius, surreal, I want to frame it.

Fun fact. Did you know that Paul McCartney, a life-long fan of Magritte who owns many of his paintings, claims that a Magritte painting inspired him to use the name Apple for the Beatles' media corporation? I know, totally amaaazing right?

The editorial was created for the Genlux winter issue, you can see moooooooore right here.

Dating A Banker Anonymous



I died a billion and one times while reading each and every entry on Dating A Banker Anonymous (DABA)
. My ex is a banker and man do I have mayyyjah sympathy for anyone dating/dealing with a breakup with someone in the finance world right about now.

What is
Dating A Banker Anonymous (DABA)? The story...

Are you or someone you love dating a banker? If so, Dating A Banker Anonymous (DABA) is here to support you through these difficult times. DABA is a safe place where women can come together – free from the scrutiny of feminists– and share their tearful tales of how the mortgage meltdown has affected their relationships.

DABA Girls was started by two best friends whose relationships tanked with the economy. Not knowing what else to do, they did what frustrated but articulate girls have done since the beginning of time - they started a blog. So if your monthly Bergdorf’s allowance has been halved and bottle service has all but disappeared from your life, lighten your heart with laughter and spend some time on Dating A Banker Anonymous.

Cat Woman


I was filming some shizz at one of my favorite stores which called for major styling playtime. We combed through rack by rack picking out pieces that lit up our eyes and brought grins to our faces, you know that mmmmmmm this piece is unreal feeling?

Fun times! Once it's edited all will be revealed, I'm really excited about it and hope you will be too! Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

YES YES


Lets be honest, I consume more online content than I care to admit but every so often I stumble across a blog that sucks me in and before I know it, like a good book, I've read it all.

During a rainy computer filled night I fell into YES YES and immediately loved the limited number of words, her liking of Liverpool's band Clinic and above all
the simplicity of her photography.

My new daily.

HYPE


Last month I shot an ad campaign for HYPE which was a ton of fun. I never realized how much work a full day shoot with multiple looks actually requires, new found respect.

Keep an eye out for it in look books, mags and billboards!

T by Alexander Wang



Cotton basics. 12 styles. Simple colors.
Mmmmmmmmm.

“Necklines are stretched and armholes are strategically lowered so that it looks worn in. It’s like sleeping in a T-shirt and then wearing it the next day. It’s not this crisp little T out of the dryer. It’s draped and kind of wilted.” - Alexander Wang

Yeshhhh.

Deluxe


Stopped by new spot Deluxe last night which was a total hodge podge; Lakers, Hiltons, internet muses and celebuspawns. The place is cool, small which I tend to like, with lots of tables, 2 bars and single bathroom (bummer).

Earlier in the day I had tea with a friend who works for ELLE and she was sweet enough to bring the Feb issue which oozes Joe Zee and Kate Lanphear, they have such a vision. Page by page I was lusting over the ELLE styled spreads complete with sequins, leather, twill, gloves and the perfect mix of splurges/affordable pieces.

Clearly inspired by their styling I ended up wearing copious amounts of rings and bracelets last night. 2 of the rings, Queen Isabella and Queen Charlotte, were holiday presents from manu and from the moment I opened the little package either one or both of the rings have resided on my hand,
it's true love, thank you again Manuela!

Wearing target jacket, manu rings,
Lisa Freede and vintage bracelets, ? dress.

There is something so beautiful about a girl, a white tee, messy hair, no makeup and no inhibitions.

hwood



At the risk of sounding like a complete brat I've been pretty bored of the same old places in LA lately. You know how it is, you go, you dance, the same bar tender ignores you and you leave happy that you went out but remind yourself not to go there again for a while, at least a full 2 weeks.

Saturday night Z, Deb, Eddie, Spenc and I we went to hwood and even though it is a bunch of the same faces and djs and a club that we went to a few weeks ago with a different name and decor it still felt pretty fresh. I left with that little glowy feeling you get after a random fun night, you know, like you just got off of a roller coaster and have that big rush. I totally live for those moments.

2 0 0 9







Goodbye 2008, hello 2009! I don't know about you but I'm happy to put 2008 to rest and look forward to what 09' is going to bring.

We welcomed in the new year with French dining and the DJ am / Travis Barker concert. Amidst all the dancing we snapped a few pics with Dr Dre and were pleasantly shocked with the surprise performances by Warren G, I died during regulator, and Paul Wall, grilllllllls. Paul Wall festively brought out his diamond encrusted grills for the occasion which doesn't sound too comfortable for the lucky girl he kissed at midnight but damn were they shiny! Hopefully there were no injuries.

I hope everyone had a great nye and has the best year yet in 2009!
