can I be a part of your cool club?




Erin Wasson is taking on double-duty for fall, playing both designer and model for the Fall 2010 lookbook of Erin Wasson x RVCA. Her fall collection – a low-key line of basics (think jersey dresses, tees and leggings) in rocker-chic fabrics such as leather, fur, faded corduroy and velvet – is seen in a series of black and white photographs by David Mushegain. However, fans may find it hard to focus on the clothes – each photograph is set against a quirky backdrop of vivid illustrations by a girl I was always jealous of in AP Art at Malibu High School...lil miss amazing artist Alia Penner. In bright and bold colors, the illustrations steal focus from the clothes, evoking plenty of the mysticism that Erin Wasson is inspired by. 
You guys are both rad...thats what I say.

Digging Erin Wasson's laid back, effortlessly hot vibe (drool)? Yea...you...me...and everyone else.
Erin is known for her casual yet rocker frocks, and SOLD Design Lab has just what you need to complete that missing part in your wardrobe. 
I think Erin is pretty bad ass...but then again, so are these jeans from their S2011 collection.

summer...are you here yet?




our winters are your summers.

Okay...shoot me...I know I'm from Malibu and I really shouldn't complain about the glorious Southern California weather, but...I'M READY FOR SUMMER.

Im too white.
I'm sick of working out inside.
It gets too dark too soon.
The heels on my boots & stiletto's are starting to wear because my toes get too cold in sandles.
I'm in much need of some Vitamin D, stat. 

So..in leau of summer, enjoy this gorge video from Malibu Native Brand

black & white: inspiration.

Since I can remember...I have always loved the simplicity and contrast of what some will say, 
aren't "colors"...
black and white.
Black and white can be so underestimated, taken for granted, and name called as "boring".

I disagree.

.smells like teen spirit.






Designers at New York Fashion Week are channeling slacker-era Seattle’s unruly fashion with an affectionate tribute to all things grunge. The autumn/winter ‘11 shows are “haute off the street” with a Nirvana-style revival that hints at another whiff of teen-spirit in the air (yessssssss!). All too reminiscent of the early ’90s inspired trend, this prevailing motif suggests that every step forward yields one step back. Personally, I have always loved the 90's grunge look. I thought I was so sooo cool in 1998 wearing my essentials:

ü     black nail polish that I would buy at Hot Topic (when it wasn't even Halloween)
ü     Doc Martins, of course
ü     lace
ü     mood rings and thumb rings
ü     flannel (I still die for flannel)
ü     black....anything and everything black (my dad always told me "your closet looks like a funeral!"
ü     my torn cutoff Levi's

    Ahhhhh...the good 'ol days. Glad they're back. I welcome you with open arms, while wearing flannel...obvi.
    What are YOUR thoughts on the return of the 90's?? 
    mmmmmm guess who?
