My London Love






My ASOS package has arrived from London. I have found myself missing London so much lately, a part of my heart and who I am will always be tied to that city. It is such an inspiring city to me, Europe in general really, so although I cannot travel to my beloved London I can certainly still shop from London! A few clocks, a concerning phone call from my bank to confirm an international purchase, a week of patience and it is finally here. Obviously I am feeling the spike thing lately when it comes to accessories, I like to think of it more along the lines that this is my timeless style and it just happens to be in fashion right now, so I am working on my personal inventory. 
Tonight I will take my London items out on the town for drinks with friends to celebrate their arrival to California. It makes me feel a little more connected to the city that I love so much, like I received a love letter or something. Tonight I will dream of Europe and London and these items are a reminder to me that in my own way, I will always be connected to it. To me, this is what fashion is all about...a story, a place, a time in your life...a connected experience really!

Lovely Moss


Spying On Kate Moss
on Nowness.com.
So I have posted this video before back in January when it was first released and realize that this is redundant, I apologize. But this video really touches me in a sweet way as it gently contradicts what Kate is doing in the video and with the animation to add a kind of light hearted humor humor. 
It reminds us that this often superficial process that fashion is, can be and truly is a creative process. The sweet music and intimate angle almost makes us feel like we are peeping in on her when it is really such a public and superficial moment while she gently maneuvers to look her best. Art, exactly what Fashion is all about!

New School Black Tights

$15.00 on asos

These tights are my new must have, I am a little behind the trend as they have been around for a while. I have let the dust settle and they have really grown on me. Love how they can be so incredibly sexy, which I would pair with a little tomboy style with rocker chic sprinkles on top to dress them for everyday!

Strap Me Up and Strap Me Sexy

I absolutely adore fashion harnesses. You see them around a little when you follow fashion, but it is a trend that has not entirely caught on for the masses. I believe this is because this look can go really goth really fast, it can be overly sexualized if you don't down play the harness with your clothing articles. The trick seems to be pairing the harness with feminine, soft and flowing fabrics or more casual and comfortable pieces.

Keep it classy San Diego! No easier way to do that than to go with an all white ensemble!

Love her look because I love her hair! But she made the cut on this entry because she is wearing a very simple harness. She pairs this with some feminine pieces with that rocker edge that clearly... I adore!

Pair this bad ass accessory with lace for some contradictory balance!

Stockholm Street Style






I adore this pant suit. Everything about her look is right on point! Effortless and perfect, and it is hard to look effortless in all white.
