check me out: my first walk-in

The best thing about my new apartment is my new closet! I’ve never had a walk-in before and I don’t think I could do without one ever again.

walk-in closet
Naik Fur spiral knit cloche (as featured in my winter fashion article) – xmas gift, YAY!
cropped vest – Target clearance years ago, $2
silk rose print tank – thrifted in Chicago, $2
skinny jeans with zippered ankles – F21, $13
turquoise ankle socks – xmas gift
brown spectators (MINT) – thrifted in Chicago, $3

Screw a dresser. Hanging all your clothes is the only way to go… It’s so much easier to come up with new outfits when you can easily see everything at once! I adore unexpected color combinations and accessories as an accent to an otherwise neutral outfit. I wore this dancing on 60′s Soul Night.

Congrats to my friends Jamaica and Lyndsay, who threw the perfect party last night to end a great year of a virtual fashion renaissance for Sacramento. I had a blast modeling for Sapphire Cordial. Good job, girls.

Upcoming: My goal for 2009 is to make it one big list of Firsts, including my first VLOG, when I go on a shoe shopping spree at Marshall’s. Yeah, you’re totally as excited as I am.

M.I.A. gets her design on and considers quitting her day job

It’s been said before that M.I.A. has some irrepressible personal style. That fact cannot be denied…

mia style

So it’s totally effing awesome that she’s starting her own clothing line of bomber jackets, print leggings and T-shirts!

But really? No more of this…??


A friend of mine says that the fact that she can’t dance worth a can of chickpeas is like the effect of a cooling tower on preventing a nuclear reaction of cool.

jiminy jeepers, i can’t be responsible for my actions if i see a guy walking around in this David Bowie-inspired line by Keanan Duffty for Target (debuting tomorrow!):

hothottnesspuffyhotness

although it’s looking a bit bland for its flamboyant inpiration and i don’t really remember Bowie ever wearing a puffy vest, this line is rather hott.
yep. seriously. i’m sewing myself some gigantic puffy sleeves right now…

alice temperley for target’s go international. do you love it?

once again, i’m a bit behind on my obligatory target post. this has prompted me to FINALLY break down, get up to speed and subscribe to my very first RSS feed (subscribe to ours here), so that won’t happen again. the photos came out a month ago, but since you’re so much more web-savvy than i am, i’m sure you already have some well-formed opinions regarding this line, which i kind of adore:

also, i just happen to be having the most frustrating day from hell, so i’m gonna go ahead and phone this one in with (gasp!) Painfully Hip’s first ever user poll! don’t get too excited now, we don’t want your head to a-splode.
