Outfit du Jour: LA Style






When: November 20, 2009
Where: Los Angeles

Dress: Chantell
Leggings: Guess
Bonjour Necklace: Alex & Chloe

Who loves a new dress? I was totally digging the reptile prints on this short dress in the little shop, Chantell. Naturally, I had to have it! I’m thinking of new ways to style this dress because I think the leggings are easy but perhaps a little boring.

I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it’s you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

- Pablo Neruda

Hello, Los Angeles. This bed is so comfy! Can I sleep in a king sized bed all the time?

Travel Style: How To Pack A Carry On


(photo source: boccacino)

Traveling: I always have these little fantasies of being completely jet-set and yet utilitarian and minimalist. A fantasy in which I never over pack, bring silly things I never use, and do not have too-heavy-luggage to cart around. It’s a fantasy.

My first terms with the over packing battle is the carry-on. It’s necessary and holds perhaps some of the most important things you’ll use on the trip. Yes, I know the clothes are truly the bottom line here. Though, with your carry-on, you’re really hauling around your belongings that you can’t live without.

what they know

it comes in pitches:
a distant whisper
slighted to change
a man’s voice
in tender tones

they sit
cracking eggs in
a bowl
she, sifting
over classified
and headlines with
singing girls in tar pits

chilling
and setting the mix
to thicken
he laughs
she,
the i, not i

we run next door
to borrow sugar.

GPOYW - feeling under the weather (hence no posting yet this week) and I can’t be arsed to wear anything fancy. Though I do like studs on anything, even my tee shirts. On the bright side, I will be in Los Angeles in five days!!
