Casual Friday

31 July, 2009 (14:29) | Uncategorized | By: Lauren

Yesterday, I stayed up all night, drove to San Francisco at 6 in the morning, and braved SF’s first Barney’s Warehouse sale. I was 3rd or 4th in line, and I only got there an hour before it opened! Anyway, it was fun, I got to spend quality adventure time with Rick, and and I [...]

Rad by Rad Hourani

29 July, 2009 (17:21) | Must Have, collections | By: Lauren

Forgive the Jak & Jil image overdose today (though an overdose of Tommy Ton’s photography seems nearly impossible), but I just had to post about one of my favorite designers in the whole world, Rad Hourani’s upcoming new collection, Rad by Rad Hourani. Call it a diffusion line if you must, I just call it [...]

The White T

29 July, 2009 (16:39) | Musings, inspiration, photography | By: Lauren

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about simplicity. While I definitely love a nice simple outfit, I always have this nagging voice telling me that I should pile on the jewelry, the layers, clash prints, wear odd and unthinkable combinations, because putting on jeans and a t shirt isn’t pushing my sartorial envelope, and I [...]

Pierre Hardy for Gap Fall ‘09

29 July, 2009 (00:58) | collections | By: Lauren

Anyone who knows me knows I have a very special place in my heart (and closet) for Pierre Hardy. But I wasn’t so into his spring shoes for Gap (they were too low!). They just weren’t as exciting as his neoprene sandals or other amazing creations. But I have to say I’m realllly liking these [...]

Can You Tell

28 July, 2009 (17:23) | outfit | By: Lauren

One of the best things I bought this spring is this Erin Wasson x RVCA bustier. It’s great for layering of just by itself, and I’m a big fan of the jewels on the front. I wanted to wear it with lots of rings, but I think a lot of my rings are stuck in [...]

Opening Ceremony Fall ‘09

28 July, 2009 (01:23) | collections | By: Lauren

Yes, I should have posted about this months ago. But, as I’m notoriously bad at follow-through, visions of Opening Ceremony’s fall collection and collaboration with Pendleton have been floating around my head with no place to go. But, I just have to gush about this upcoming collection, because I’m way too in to it. I [...]

Left Behind

25 July, 2009 (14:27) | outfit | By: Lauren

Amazingly, I actually wore flats yesterday. I’ve been sort of afraid recently that I wear heels too much, and that I’m working my legs too much. I know, random and completely paranoid, but it caused me to break out these great vintage ostrich boots from Spain. And I happen to be dressed very lazily because [...]

Alexander Wang’s Menswear

24 July, 2009 (13:47) | collections | By: Lauren

Aren’t you excited?? Alex Wang’s menswear line debuts on Aug. 1st! Finally, the boys can have their fare share of Alex, and I get even more stuff to covet (I’ve been looking for a striped shirt…). Everything’s pretty basic, so it’ll mostly come down to how it looks in real life, but I’m fairly satisfied [...]
