My friend Rory at Awesome All Day has started to get real good at writing photo captions so I let him tackle this one for me because, honestly? I killed one too many brain cells celebrating my homecoming from Chicago last night:

This dress is so darling it’s driving me crazy. Not the “OMG THAT IS SOOO CUTE” kind of crazy, but the “Buy a plane ticket to wherever this dress lives, find it, steal it, and introduce it to my cats” kind of crazy.

check me out: trompe l’ampes

Outside the LACMA , where they had the most amazing exhibit of Vanity Fair portraits. This was a super cozy outfit for the flight home…

Wow. A dumpy mens blazer + a wrinkled men’s tee + combat boots = 100% pure awesome?
Really?? This just doesn’t add up.

This reminds me that it must be physically impossible to have a bad day whilst wearing the outfit equivalent of the song “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah.”

thrift stars of the day: spotted at Girl Talk, Congress Theater

My friend Pat got us guest-listed to Girl Talk on Saturday night, so I was able to get up enough liquid courage (comprised of free Stella Artois) to snap the hippest kids I could find in the VIP box, Morgan and J.R…

JR

large pendant

mock crock ankle boots, gladiator ankle boots

Oh glorious accessories.

Of course the view was equally as opulent when we turned around:
