Vintage Versace Earrings

1 September, 2010 (10:28) | Uncategorized | By: Lauren

How great are these big vintage Versace earrings? I got them at Yukiko (more on Yukiko soon), they were the only Versace piece in the whole store, and, while I’m not specifically a fan of Versace, they were just too special to let get away.

They’re really something special.

Vintage Fur Coat

Now you know what I primed you for: I picked up this big fur coat for the fast-approaching fall, although this week’s weather has been as cold as any autumn in California. and yes, the priming thing was a little psychology joke on my part, that kind of stuff makes me laugh to myself.

I always have a hard time settling for anything truly basic, so this Yohji Yamamoto shirtdress is perfect for me, it’s minimal and classic Yohji, but is definitely not just a plain old white shirt.

I’ve been rewatching all of incredible Japanese director Satoshi Kon’s movies this week after hearing the awful news that he passed away last week.

And…you have been primed. Just as I was primed when I first watched Chanel’s Fall 2010 show. Heheh.

La Plume

The feathers I stuck into my ponytail are the only ones I could scrounge up – I left all the rest at home accidentally. Needless to say, I’ve been freaking out a bit, missing my trusty feathers, so today when I set out for an afternoon of shopping, I was feeling quite pleased with myself. [...]

A Pastry a Day, Pt. VI

24 August, 2010 (16:20) | Uncategorized | By: Lauren

At my parents’ request (they doubt the awesomeness of LadurĂ©e. pff. crazies.), I tried out the maccarons at Paul, which were ok, though LadurĂ©e still takes the cake (or…maccaron, as the case may be).
