“What’s so good about goodbye”

Melted in the heat last weekend at the annual Sunset Junction Street Fair.  I’ve been searching for vintage leather shorts for awhile now and, in lightning speed fashion, jumped on these high-waisted babies from Spanish Moss Vintage as soon as they were posted online.

You know how some things are better left alone and shouldn’t be tampered with, no matter how tempting?  Case in point, these french fries with Nutella and peanut butter.  Fries?  Great.  Nutella?  Even better.  Peanut butter?  Now we’re talking.   But all together… eh.

Harem pants are not conducive to split jumps… neither is attempting a split jump when you are massively out of shape.  This is double lamesauce.

I’m crazy for prints right now, and pulled out my H&M floral pants yesterday. I’ve worn these ridiculous pants HERE but wanted to pair them with a simple cropped top.  Desperately need a new black hat since I’ve managed to wear this one all summer long, despite it being wool.  That’s the thing about living in LA… my seasons all blend together.  I never really put away any of my winter clothing because I tend to layer up at night.

My weekend was capped off with some yummy dim sum.

Ugh, I hate Mondays.  Here’s to kicking Monday in the ass.  Hard.

H&M + Leopard Print Overload

What ended up as an innocent tag-along with Melanie to the mall yesterday resulted in a leopard print overload from H&M.  If you go to the H&M at Beverly Center and are unable to find size 2′s in the following, I apologize in advance.

H&M leopard print

Price: $39.95

Style Plans:

  • Pair with black liquid leggings, Dolce Vita booties and a faux fur vest
  • Wear unbuttoned over a tank dress, belt it and wear with casual brown boots
  • Belt it and wear as a dress with black ankle cowboy boots, topped with a black hat

H&M leopard print

Price: $49.95

Style Plans:

  • Keep it simple with a cropped top and black ankle boots
  • Wear black motorcycle jacket, V-neck gray t-shirt and red boots
  • Throw on oversized cardigan, cropped black top and Justin Roper boots

* Note: These pants are slightly hard to slip on.  Despite fitting amazing around my small waist, I had to literally wiggle my flat ass into these pants because the side zipper doesn’t extend that far down.  One day I fear I’ll hear the inevitable ripping of seams as I try to get into these.  So A+ for fitting the waist, but D- for not extending the zipper down further.

H&M leopard print

Price: $49.95

Style Plans:

  • Pair with high-waisted leather shorts, red boots and black socks
  • Layer under a denim vest, black skinny jeans and black ankle boots
  • Wear with red mini-skirt, gray ankle socks and black wedge plaforms

+++++++++++++

UPDATE

Wore the blouse dress to the Los Angeles premiere of the movie “Going the Distance”, starring Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.  Paired it with a black tank dress  (it’s sheer, so something must be worn underneath), UO thigh-highs & belt, Jeffrey Campbell Alexa wedges and Topshop braided headband.
