Clothes are Overrated

Grace — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 05:42:25 +0000

I feel like since I work in the fashion industry, nobody can tell me that this is not clothes. And especially since I raced up rocks in order to beat my camera’s self timer! What we do for art and fashion.

Pants are Overrated

Well that was unexpected! The past four days have been, well let’s just say too fast. I went on a buying trip to some showrooms in Los Angeles over the weekend. I had big plans to shoot that and prep for a shoot I’m styling. Last-minute-me forgot to pack the camera though. I also stopped at Space 15 Twenty, for ashamedly the first time. I have become a bad shopper, all I did was marvel over the display installations. Major applause for the UO visual staff at Space 15 Twenty.

I’ve been on the prowl for a black maxi crochet dress, or any sort of crochet black dress. How quickly I forget that I happened upon one early last year and it has been sitting lonely and pretty in my closet. I’m starting to get pretty into this whole thing they call photography. I’ve learned that close up detail, almost to the point of abstraction, is my favorite to shoot. Looks as if I will need to start saving my nickels and dimes for a macro lens! For now I’ll have to settle with my mediocre shots. Recommendations on a good macro lens anyone?

I am in love. Brit the Disarming Darling is the kind of girl you could imagine hanging out with the likes of Thurston Moore, Perry Farrell and Kurt Cobain. Her blog is fashion, music (she has phenomenal taste), surfer cool and just plain cool.

I am also very convinced she’s my jewelry soul mate. Check her out here, be her friend.

Shyness Let It Go

Vintage lingerie (in other words, things that weren’t originally meant to be worn sans over things) is quickly becoming my favorite look. And exposed bras are also on the runways, yes? So I’m justified in walking around in nighties. Melissa Zee and I found another goldmine of vintage in downtown Riverside. The Mission Galleria is four stories of amazing finds, and some silly stuff too. I want a 50′s oven, and yes I do cook.

Hipster’s Playground

Ebay is trouble for me. Especially with seller’s like playground vintage. Oh internet why do you offer so many temptations to my meager, sequined wallet. After seeing the Mo’s knit dress, I’m on a hunt for crocheted dresses. (It seems I go through this phase every summer though.)

I’m Waiting for My Man

Does it feel as if all I’ve been doing lately is saying ‘woe is me’? I hope not because woe is me, I’m having issues with the technical side of this site. As if you can’t tell… All these updates from WordPress have gone and sent my laborious formatting efforts off into cyberspace. Lucky me that I may know a person or two who is more tech savvy than myself! Changing subjects, I’ve been getting more serious about music, even started a little side project! The sound we’re aiming for is a bit ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou’. To be premiered soon. This whole making my blog more personal is a bit trying. I mean really who wants to listen to me ramble on about myself! So instead I’ll just post photos of me….

Also, if you could spare a few moments I’d greatly appreciate any support for a Chictopia contest I’ve entered! Winning won’t bring me my Macbook, but it will certainly make me smile. Vote here!

Look(er) of the Week

Grace — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 17:31:32 +0000

Talk about having no accountability, I’ve allowed a little case of bronchitis to prevent me from keeping up with the blogging world. No doubt I’ve fallen immeasurably behind and missed a ton. So all I can do is suck it up and get back to doing what I should have been doing! I’ve missed you all something terrible and here’s to no more extended absences!

There was a quite a few contenders for look of the week! And some grand contenders at that. But only one can prevail, you’d think since it’s my blog I’d have the power to change that… Anyway, this lovely lady edged out the competition because I was so happy to see someone wearing shortalls! Also, she makes gorgeous images. Maria of Lululetty.
