Shift

 If you've never been to The Geffen museum in Downtown LA, allow me to set the stage. The last time I went to The Geffen Museum it was a rainy day, and inside the museum there was this green bucket just sitting there on the ground collecting water that was dripping from the ceiling. And to this day, I have NO clue whether or not there was a leak in the damn roof, or if that bucket was, well, "art". Now I'm not judging, and this isn't the type of blog where we will discuss philosohpical questions like such; I just want you to know what I was dealing with here. SO (now that the stage has been set), on Friday night Frankie, Chelsea, Aaron and I drove up to The Geffen to take in Drew Barrymore's visual art and see the sounds of our beautiful, S4LEM. Let me tell you, this PlayMOCA thing was one hip and happenin' event. It's like everyone there wakes up every morning and eats freaking CoolCool puffs for breakfast. We had the time of our life people watching, and coming up with elaborate schemes about what they put in those balloons that everyone was carrying around, until we found out it was just lipstick. Finally, Salem took to the stage and totally blew my mind. Then we bailed and went to go eat some sushi. ALL of this while wearing my vintage pink shift dress, my new headgear, and vintage buckled flats. I was a bit inspired by Chanel Pre-Fall with a dash of Marc Jacobs inspired footwear. The end. 

ZOMBIE

I wore this little short suit number to work last week. As I explained to my coworker, I am trying to embrace Summer for all it's worth and wear all the shorts and miniskirts and sundresses I can because in December I will be wishing I had! Although in reality I just wanna put on some thigh high boots, a fur coat, and a hat and welcome Fall into my arms. You may ask yourself, "Brittany, will there ever be a seasonally appropriate time for you to don that specific ensemble? Don't you live in SoCal where the variance in temperature is like, 20 degrees...all year long?" Technically speaking, yes, but I mean have you ever experienced 50 degree temperatures?! I rest my case. SOOOOO, short suits are kind of like mullets; business on the top, party on the bottom. Are shorts appropriate for the workplace? I don't know, but they are appropriate in my workplace, because our human resources department is a party of one. SCORE! To further push the boundaries of the proper professional attire, I decided to wear a T-shirt with a a killer zombie and a naked lady on it...on the same day. When I brought this to HR's attention, her response was, "Oh, I wanna see." I love my job!

Kiki Fashion

Jasmine had a Kiki at her house Saturday night. (WTF is a Kiki? Click here.) So ya, it was pretty fab. We sat around the fire and drank and ate too much food and even told some ghost stories. We get pretty wild and crazy...JK we really don't. Of course, you gotta be lookin' real fly when you attend a Kiki, so I busted out my suede mini skirt and my new halter top that I purchased earlier that day at my favorite Pile Sale. (It reads: When provoked, I will strike!) Plus, of course, some arm party jewels, strappy sandals, and purple hair. I woke up the next morning, picked up those clothes off the floor and wore the same ensemble to brunch with my lady friends...cuz it's just that versatile of a look! (And I was just that hungover.)

Hotel Maya

 

My boyfriend and I ventured off to Hotel Maya for Brunch on Sunday, and of course my ensemble was subliminally inspired by the Latin America meets SoCal ambiance. We ate way too much food, and tested just how "bottomless" a botomless mimosa can really be. (Still in testing.) I wore this gorgeous, hand painted top that I picked up at my favorite LBC pile sale, La Bamba, and paired it with this Bird of Paradise tropical printed tulip skirt and a pair of pointy toed pumps. I suppose I was going for a Copacabana, chiquita banana by way of LA type thing. Topped the look off with some gold jewelry, cat eyed sunnies, and pastel (faded) hair. Es muy elegante, no?

Princess Prints

 

I won this deliciously adorable dress at the Shout PR blogger event a couple weeks ago and I've been wearing it like, all the damn time. (It's just so easy to throw on!) I totally dig the Baroque inspired scarf print a modern, girly color palette. The geometric shape of the racer back also gives the dress a little unexpected edge. Of course, as not to be too girly, I paired it with my chunky brown booties and a super woman cuff bracelet. Plus, the purple hair is kind of off-setting the need for any major accessories, ya know? I felt a bit like a modern day Marie Antoinette.

On My Mind

 

1. Velvet; to soften up masculine dressing. Also, just Emma Stone.

2. Brown. I want to wear brown with everything.
3. Dropwaist.
4. Graphic tees with all sorts of baubles.
5. Leopard and Lime
6. Jewel tones

Purple Hair, Don't Care.

 

No...I have NOT been neglecting this blog. I have just been a complete work-a-holic. Gotta make that money, honey! To try and make-up for my absence, I decided to do something crazy and just dye my hair purple. Just for funzees. I just love it; such a pretty color! (Thank you, Summer. You are a hair genius.) So, sorry I was gone forever and here's some purple hair! Seems fair to me? So anyways, I picked up this amazingly luxurious hi lo dress at Goodwill the other day. I LOVE the shiny fabric and the wrap/drape details. SO DREAMY. It will be perfect to layer with thick jackets and thigh-high boots this winter. OMG how I long for layering in the sweltering Summer heat. I am over Summer dressing already. I wore this out to Francelli's Italian Restaurant in LBC with the boyfriend for cheese ravioli's and spumoni ice cream. DELICIO-SO.
