Abbey Lee's style is perfect for fall, it seems like all the street style photos taken of her are in cold weather for some reason. Her style has such a hippie vibe but I kinda feel a little 90's in there with the brown lipstick and darker colors she wears. I love it, she is always great to look at.

the burn before the chill

As much as it feels like summer (finally), I am starting to think about fall. Even though I'm not in school anymore I still get that back to school feeling. Early fall is my favorite time of year, it just makes me warm inside. Its kinda like a new beginning.


First off, I LOVE Heidi's hair here. I think the longer my hair gets I will go more toward this look for my wedding. I have 11 months!! It better be long, I am gonna do everything I can to get there...Biosil, hair vitamins, anything. Suggestions??


And then I want it messy like Sascha's. What a babe!


I'm so drawn to this ed in Cover. I love the black hair, white skin, red lips and blue eyes. So snow white and witchy. I really think her hair being this black is taking her to another level.






It's been two months and I am still waiting for my Jeffrey Campbell Lita's to arrive. I want them NOW. For fall I wanna pair them with looks similar to the Acne Resort collection...



leopard..

shitty black denim short-shorts and spooky tees...


white or black crochet or lace maxi dresses...

hippie hats...

and my beautiful poncho that was homemade by my old-roomie's gf, paired with anything short and tight...


p.s. Jason and I will be back to business on Kill Lion as soon as possible. We know we've been neglecting the poor thing.

Well, I'm possibly off to NYC next week. Yippeee! Happy back to school!!

Summer's Almost Gone

Every year around this time I think about how I feel summer hasn't even really started and it's pretty much over. But then I realize all the awesome things that have happened since the beginning of June. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest (I still haven't even got a little tan), my friends and I have definitely celebrated this season to the extent. The past couple of weeks have been a blast, and this past week in itself has been crazy busy and extremely exciting. Here's a couple photos from the past weeks and a list of things I still need to do before summer ends! Then again, it's always summer in California...
p.s. August 6th marked a year til we get married. The countdown...and tons of preparations begin!

My roommates and I decided to have a classy dinner party, which basically turned into a house party. These are two cute photos Kelley Ash toke of us and our men.

For Jason's birthday we went to Disneyland. It may have been the best time I have ever had there. All the girls bought mouse ears, we drank lots of Jameson, and ran around crazy through the park trying to hit up as many rides as we could. We were pretty successful.






The week after that Jason and I drove up to Pismo Beach for another COMUNE camping trip. I have never camped literally on the beach so that was rad. We partied on the dunes, drank Bloody Mary's and played pool at a bar, told ghost stories and ate smores around the fire. It was cold, it was sandy but it was still fun.



Finally, last Sunday Jason and I went to the Weetzie Bat reading that I mentioned in my last post. We wanted to have an adventure and we did. The reading was amazing and I met Francesca who was amazing. Jason and I ran around West Hollywood checking out fancy hotels, drank dirty martinis and whiskey shots (eek!)at Barney's Beanery, ran into the Viper Room to use the bathroom but ended up staying and watching some band and then went to a BBQ in Echo Park to sit on the grass outside with some awesome people. Here's a photo of us from the Wildfox blog, I don't know why Jason looks so sad, he was having a great (drunk) time!

Here's a couple things I still need/want to do:
-go to the Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach with my mom (tonight!). It's a tradition!
-Sunset Junction!
-Stay the night in Palm Springs...lay by the pool and drink Mai Tai's, go thrift store shopping and sit out on the patio at night and just relax.
-Ride my new bike around Newport Beach. Stop at all the divey beach bars during happy hour, watch the sun set and play arcade games at the Fun Zone.
-Go Swimming!

lanky lizards!

Francesca Lia Block is my FAVORITE author. I picked up the book 'Weetzie Bat' when I was around 15 and it changed my life. That may sound dramatic but I think about it now and I definitely feel the way I live my life is similar to the way the characters live their lives in her books. Also, the dreamy, magical way she describes Los Angeles only fueled my love for this city even more. On Sunday there is going to be a reading of the Weetzie Bat screenplay at Book Soup in West Hollywood. I, of course, am going to be dragging my man there (bribing him with pre-reading drinks). Wildfox is going to be dressing the actress playing Weetzie and they did a super cute shoot in honor of the character. Here she is at the Oki-Dog with her rubber chicken. Ya gotta read the book to know :)
