I haven't worn these boots in awhile, and it's nice to bring them back out of the box! The smell and feel of the soft leather makes me feel all luxe inside. My boyfriend calls them my anime boots, because well..they look like space boots with the slouchy and flair illusion. They are hard to walk in because of the pointy toes and heel without platform (makes it run smaller because it pushes your feet forward to the point). I thought they fit fine when I tried them on and did a little twirl when I first got them, but after walking on the streets for awhile they started to hurt....real bad. Wish I knew someone who has these boots that bought a size too big (38) so we can trade! I could only wish..until then my mission is to walk in pain and possibly stretch it out enough so it molds to my feet.
We craved sushi and headed to NoHo Art District for some dinner because upon arriving to my fav spot on Highlands, it was closed. North Hollywood is probably an area I've never explored, but heard many great things about...especially new lo brow artists, the dance community, and musicians. I should really explore the area more since I have friends living around the area too!
EDIT:By the way, I'm heading to San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle for Christmas - New Years. Do any of you fashionable ladies know of cool local shops, dining, and art exhibits I should visit? I've been to SF many times, but always done the shopping at Union Square and that one road of all the high end shops but can't remember the name for the life of me. Would love to find great vintage stores while up there too :)

Happy Thanksgiving! A bit late -- but that's just how I roll. I do think about my blog and all, but I rather spend every second living life and then reminiscing about it. Sorry that I haven't responded to anything. It's not you, it's me. I haven't even responded to a few people I know in real life. I just needed a vacation, after running around and using up all my energy on advertising materials for various magazines the past 2 weeks. I always get nervous sending off my work, even though I've done it so many times. I'm a perfectionist and it's hard to let go without double checking and triple checking. It stresses me out. One day I'll make a post about my design work, but for now I want to bring the focus back to my outfit the past few days...because I went shopping on black friday :)

This was what I wore on Thanksgiving...

Fur vest from Nordstroms, American Apparel henley shirt dress, H&M lace leggings, Miu Miu patchwork wedges, vintage Christian Dior belt.

Yes I take things a bit literal sometimes, but its all for fun. I'm showing my spirit for the holiday, this is my version of a pilgram - though you won't catch me wearing a red/green combo for Christmas!

The great thing about working for a fashion company is that I get all my shopping done fast - so black friday wasn't spent buying gifts for friends and family, but for my own consumerism. My bf and I headed out to South Coast Plaza for some retail damaging at 6pm to avoid all the crazy shoppers. I was pretty happy making that decision since I hate crowded, unorganized places because it stresses me out. By the end of the night I came back with a new lovely bag.

I love this bag! it's everything I've been looking for - small enough to carry at night, and blends into my wardrobe nicely. People on the streets have stopped and asked me about my shoes a lot, these particular boots I got at the BCBG store when they had a promotion where they'll take $100 off every $300 you spend. These being about $600, I got $200 off which was a pretty sweet deal. I was in awe at the store and couldn't take them off, the cushion pads that are sewn inside makes them so comfortable to wear - fits like a glove and I feel so tall!
Btw, I didn't wear them to go shopping (can you imagine shopping for 4 hrs in 5 inchers?). I wore the jimmy choo x h&m studded alligator brogues instead which I still need to photograph them in an outfit. I'm surprised that there is still a whole lot left at h&m. They're the best shoes on the market right now - go grab yourself a pair!

h&m sweater, patch denim jeans, theory silk tank, alice & olivia for payless wedge boots



It's finally cold enough to wear thick sweaters and jackets here in LA. I did some retail damaging this past weekend and pictured here are a few purchases. I love this sweater/bolero thing from h&m. It's so cozy and a bit oversized with interesting shape.
I also love the patch work denim from h&m too. It reminds me of the 70s. The boots aren't new, but it's the first time I took a pic with them. I felt that the sweater material used were so rough and the color was a lighter grey that I didn't like, so I snipped them off and plan to put faux fur in place..or maybe just make some fur leg warmers so I can wear it with other shoes.

I think this would look great as a scarf too.



How do you like my random yellow socks? My outfit didn't really match these shoes so I grabbed my roommate's hand painted frames and cropped in my legs. Live Art Exhibit: Miu Miu Patch-work Wooden Wedges!
I found them 65% off at Barney's and couldn't resist. Maybe it was the patch-work denim jeans that put me in the wagon. But I love them and I can picture a lot of items in my closet that will go well with these babies.

Oh the Holidays, it's that time of the year to do some extra spending. This year on my list are these amazing bags by BOYY. The rest of my holiday wishlist to come.

The last I thought about buying a new bag was almost a year ago. Still haven't found the "one" small bag that I can carry at night when I go out and these look amazing!

I love these 2 bags (Saul and Loui). Large and can fit many work related things.

but I'm gravitating towards purchasing this bag, Slash. It's not too big and not too small. Perfect for everyday. Which is also what I'm looking for. I'm afraid my Foley + Corinna bag is slowly deteriorating from throwing it all over the place, but I do like that vintage leather feel that I'm giving it.

Anyways, this bag is calling my name and I'm trying to decide whether I want the Slash Calf or the Limited....

I absolutely love these! When I first saw them on hm.com I knew I had to have them. I've been trying to find new stylish flats to wear to work. I had these studded ballet flats from Bakers that I wore to death and needed a replacement. These shoes are perfect! I can think of so many ways to wear them. Don't you just love how shoes can inspire you to come up with new ways to dress?

Ever since I saw the collection from MG Black at the Gen Art fashion show I've been dying to dress with a little more menswear. The unisex appeal has never looked so good. I have collected quiet a few images to further elevate my latest obsession..I'll post them up some day when I stop being lazy...or take an outfit pic for once! I blame it on the weather.

I've also updated my little shop Closet of Geometry with some more old shoes of mine. I'm trying to clean out my shoe closet to make some room. Pretty soon I will stock up some faux fur coats, vests, jackets, cardigans, sweaters..etc =)

PS: look who is on American Apparel? A lovely AA staff contacted me if they could dispay one of my photos. =)
