we had tickets to a screening for friends of benefits however we didn't end up getting to see the movie. as it turned out, entrance was first come first serve. i don't usually come first. i wasn't too upset, seeing as the movie looks stupid and the cocktail hour provided me with a roadie of chilled chardonay. not bad. ended up- not my idea, at old tried and true. trying to look all cute, knowing good and well i'm about to pound 2 lbs of yogurt. #everyday

my friend and rossmore LA jewelry designer, susy lequex meet me for coffee yesterday . so cool as she rolled up on her bicycle to meet me at kings road. i was all "ohh i like your hair like that" but she informed me that doing this to (wet)long locks will make ringlets. and obv. the fresh air breeze is a better alternative to a blow dryer.

gettin it at the getty

2011-07-21T08:21:00.000-07:00

this single pale pink rose was really pretty and i wanted to pick it off for myself. apparently thats frowned upon so i took a picture of it instead.

we went to the getty villa in the midst of carmagedon last weekend when brad's mom was in town from texxus. not only were the roads clear of traffic but the weather was delightful to take in getty's historical recreation of a roman villa.

if you havent gone to the villa and you live in la. make sure to get up to malibu and visit. tickets are free. http://www.getty.edu/museum/index.html

yes i want you. yes i need you.

acne a/w 2009

cassie, i am sure that we are sharing brainwaves or something because i have not been able to stop gushing over all things svedish-style lately. i've decided i want to live in everything acne this fall, to be more specific. the proportions are spot on, and the stockholm-based brand has nailed a completely effortless mix between boy and girl that has definitely done right by me. for their autumn/winter 2009 collection, they have interspersed their signature cool with gorgeous and clean lines and some space-age-esque construction. plus i am completely enamored of PLASTIC LEGGINGS (what, yes? please?) and sky-high wedges. sorry i couldn't pick just one.

lisa frank & sweeds agree

2009-05-18T17:10:00.001-07:00

the steel grey with the magenta looks impeccable.

patterns horns and pink..what more?

now ms.frank would love this.

ice blue eyes, bright pink lips, bordered in black, stunning.

inspired by the natural beauty and nature of my stockholm native best friend and my stay there last year, i find my self channeling their effortless, tough yet girly cool whenever possible. the hot pink lips is one borrowed trend i have clung to tightly...especially when my freckles come out. oh so summer, oh so chic .. and ooh so reminiscent of my beloved lisa frank school supplies.

"Slender, shiny-haired girls... love everything that's going on here— the shape, the length, the proportion—the whole gay and romantic mood it creates," wrote Vogue. March 1, 1970.

"her personality grew more baroque, surprised her at every turn. Yet she continued to be her own friend, She consulted herself, admired her own opinions asked advice of her own wisdom. She had a native integrity, a sense of self, which protected her. But she thought too often to play the grande dame on the strength of it. While people went on not noticing her. to the point of overkill. And she continued lusting for their approval, their esteem, their warmth"

So I just bought this new pair of Phillip Lim harem shorts. I had been eye-ing them for quite a while, but just now worked up the energy to go down to the SoHo store and buy them. I have to say, I am absolutely in love. I got the gunmetal color, but they also come in light silver and black. Lauren tried them on once I brought them home and they looked super cute, but of course, not as cute as they looked on me. Sorry Lauren.

Shoes are Marc Jacobs S/S 09

"Happy," I muttered, trying to pin the word down. But it is one of those words, like Love, that I have never quite understood. Most people who deal in words don't have much faith in them and I am no exception - especially the big ones like Happy and Love and Honest and Strong. They are too elusive and far too relative when you compare them to sharp, mean little words like Punk and Cheap and Phony. I feel at home with these because they're scrawny and easy to pin, but the big ones are tough and it takes either a priest or a fool to use them with any confidence.

Okay, my apologies, but I couldn't stop at just one video. Loving everything about Lykke Li lately - her music, her videos, and especially her style. The Swedes know what they're doing. Also, I really just want to dance exactly like her.
