Strange feeling when you discover that a couple pieces of clothing you’ve owned for six months go together seamlessly. Makes you feel exactly as stupid as you do smart. This dress is one of my favorite pieces in my closet for it’s loose cut and ability to work in any situation given a few accessory changes..but the effect the bustier has on cinching it in just kind of..completes it. So much love for NZ and Australian designers right now. And blindingly bright overhead motion sensor lights.

I’ve worn this dress so much that what used to be a full bib of sequins gave way and I just tore them all out. Scissors and razor blades solve a lot of my wardrobe problems.

Obviously these are from Tokyo. There are no magical tunnels of blue light in California. Or are there? Anyway, I love you old ragged dress but I think it’s time for me to buy some new clothes.

On Thursday I hosted a party at the Live on Sunset store in West Hollywood, it was a lot of fun (Buttercake Bakery cupcakes and Minx manicures yay)..I wore a Camilla and Marc dress that I got on the spot (I was going to wear all Topshop but I just fell in love with this the second I saw it) and a lot of double stick tape. Met some amazing people and saw some of my favorites. Thank you to everyone at LOS!

Another white minidress for the arsenal and some deadly accurate Anastase knockoffs (sorry, no way I could locate or afford the real ones! but yeah..really sorry Mr. Anastase).

Just when I was focusing on having a heart attack about leaving for New York this Thursday, my mom invited me along on a trip to Tokyo in March that I’m trying to decide if I can go on or not…it’s been a couple years since I’ve seen my family over there..and my Japanese is so rusty I might need to log some time over there just to not lose it completely. Well I have until tonight to decide what to do.
