Lace shorts and leather shorts have been equally cherished but separately cherished categories in my closet for multiple years now, both having that borderline inappropriate allure I love so much. Well, separate no longer, basically cause Rag & Bone gets me like that.

I’ve been in LA for a rare couple weeks straight now and have found a happy routine of kitchen experimentation, all day dates with Colin, and the most regular workout schedule I’ve maintained in a long long time. Going to make sure to savor this before I’m off on my next trip on Wednesday. New country, oh and new continent too. So excited!

hair therapy

Maybe it was in response to the conditioner woes voiced in my Into the Gloss interview, maybe not, but I’m not complaining about receiving a boxful of Frederic Fekkai to try. When it comes to higher end conditioners, the only thing that makes them worth it to me is if they can make parched ends feel hair-textured again. It’s been about a month of solid use now and the Keratin Conditioner and Hair Repair Mask are now at addiction status. Even just a tiny bit of the mask at the ends and my hair dries shiny with extremely minimal effort. Thank you Fekkai!

Felt like it was about time to add another entry to the internet’s parchment scroll of a Zara skort archive. So many ways to wear this pointy little loincloth and so tempting is it to explore more that I’m going to have to cut myself off and by that I mean start wearing the black version instead. Hope everyone is enjoying Mother’s Day! I’m promising an extravaganza of something or other for the next time I visit my beautiful mother.

bahamian getaway

fashiontoast — Fri, 10 May 2013 23:21:09 +0000

From last weekend in beautiful Nassau! I was invited by The Cove Atlantis to hang out for a couple days where the only brain utilization necessary was deciding how to allocate time properly to falling asleep in a cabana, swimming with dolphins, wandering around the casino in terrified awe, feasting at Nobu, and swimming in the actually warm ocean. Don’t hate me too much, the trip was so nonstop that it was kind of over in an instant. I wore about three and a half scraps of clothing the whole time, mostly consisting of a Marysia bikini, Ark & Co. scalloped shorts, and an old season Isabel Marant dress I pounced on recently. That chain bedecked knee boot season was one of the best. Thank you to The Cove for spoiling us and the crew Matthew, Pamela Love, Rebecca Minkoff, Samantha Barks, Selita Ebanks, and Bryanboy for general hijinks. Cue the Instagram dot connectors!

Enjoying a weirdo Mad Max moment in a yawning expanse of spiky things and probably snakes. I love when I do things that, in retrospect, would have been bettered with the casual use of a monster truck and like, an antique diving helmet. Ie. everything, ergo that sentence has no meaning. Sorry, it’s late. But I do love a solid leather bustier, that much I know.

A shot of orange in the desert – I love this season’s Helmut Lang Chroma pieces. Shoulder cutouts done delicately.

Down this sandy road is a bus stop and a bus stop only. The perfect place to shoot photos and get sunstroke with minimal scrambling out of the road to avoid traumatic injury. This tshirt is something I probably never would have come across online but I love rifling through the men’s section at the beautiful Phillip store on Robertson because everything just looks so beautifully sterile and potentially fulfilling there. Finally found something unisex enough.

h&m ♥ coachella

And I ♥ H&M for having me and Colin at Coachella for weekend 2 – as a result this photo diary is going to be a full front page takeover and I am now worryingly finding LA cold. Anyway, their music tent was the perfect place to hang out at between sets. I took advantage by playing with the Kiehl’s products they had on hand and hopping around in their GIF booth. Special thank you to Jessica, Carl, and José! While I get organized maybe check out my past Coachella posts from 2011 and 2012!

Saturday at Coachella I wore all black, balancing out the sticky factor of a leather skirt in the desert with a silk camisole I think I packed by mistake. I answered some questions for Rag & Bone’s blog – head over that way to find out my vote for best dressed, what I like to spray on my face, and which Band-aids are the only ones worth buying! Now who’s ready for Stagecoach?
