Photo Diary - The West Side

Gin and Jeans

I'm wearing a Wayne's World baseball cap, a vintage Harley Davidson T-shirt, Car Mar jeans available at LF Stores, and Dolce Vita booties.

First things first, I have tomboy tendencies, and sometimes I can't help but let them shine through. As I've mentioned before, my boyish ways may explain why I'm single—it's just a theory. I know a little femininity would do me good, but I love a good boyfriend fit. Plus, I feel that a woman who is both comfortable wearing menswear pieces at times, and comfortable letting her tomboy loose at times speaks volumes.

My dad was in town this weekend. We went shopping. We partied. We ate grilled cheeses and gummy bears (not at the same time). One highlight in particular was his first day in Los Angeles, we bought gin and jeans—obvious necessities.

As my T-shirt says: "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand."

Brief Photo Diary

I've always wanted to receive a psychic consultation at least once in my life—thanks Zoltar.

The Jacket-Shirt

I'm wearing an old leather jacket, a Levis jean jacket, a GUESS by Marciano printed knit skirt, my Frye boots (per usual), and carrying a Timberline Ltd. purse.

A couple days ago, while at my internship, I accidentally ripped my denim shirt in half—an impromptu belly shirt if you will. I don't know how it happened, but it happened. All I know was that I looked ridiculous and completely unprofessional in my newly gaping shirt, and felt embarrassed as I worked throughout the day at my über chic, luxury fashion company. Consequently I have to buy a new denim shirt, And for me, finding the perfect denim shirt is like shopping for that perfect pair of boots—it takes months! So, my solution is to wear a jean jacket as a shirt, of course! Does it work? Yes. Is it so hot that it makes me sweat to death? Hell yes, but I'll suffer in the name of fashion. I especially like how the heaviness of the jean jacket adds a little depth and dimension, as opposed to a regular old denim chambray.

As for my purse, it was a gift from my cute mom. I have been lusting after a Pendleton Native American blanket forever now, but who has that kind of money on a college budget?! So this purse was the next best thing, and I love it. It is from a great little shop on Etsy called Timberline Treasures, which specializes in items made from Pendleton wools and tapestries.

Happy Monday!
