"Even Anna Wintour cracked a smile" Burberry Prorsom Fall 2012

"Any woman who loves fashion loves Burberry"


For the finale, Christopher Bailey created a fuss with loud crashes of thunder followed by a beautiful downpour of faux rain at London Fashion Week to remind us all to grab our Burberry trenches when the weather permits.
The effect reportedly stole the show, and even made Anna Wintour crack a smile. The show was innovative, advanced, and showed how far Burberry has come and what is in store in the future.
Also my new favorite girl, Cara, was the final walker! Such a stunner.



The video is simply beautiful! I don't know what else to say. So inspired.

I'm such a blogger.....

One day in my Drawing/Painting 1 class, a nice girl came up to me and asked me if she could take pictures of my outfits for her blog. Her name is Minkyung Sung and is a very talented photographer. She asked me some questions and would take pics of me after art class.

I was unbelievably flattered and she insisted that I put the pictures up on my own fashion blog. Although I do think the process of posting pictures of yourself is rather narcissistic, it is nice to have a few pictures of myself to prove I don't go around wearing Uggs and sweatpants everyday.
So enjoy, I know I'm awkward in front of the camera, but it was a fun project.

Hopefully there are more to come!

I'm wearing
Brandy and Melville top, vintage Arizona cut-off shorts, and Deena and Ozzy oxfords.


Left: Heart print romper from H&M with a cropped Cheap Monday sweater draped behind my back.
Right: J Crew ruffled shirt (as a dress), American Apparel black circle scarf, and H&M green parka jacket.


Printed tee from H&M, leather jacket from Shipley and Halmos.

Lunarglide Wingtip


So anyone who knows me, knows that I love Nike.
It's Portland. It's cool AND athletic. It's simply the best.
Naturally, I was excited when they joined up with Cole Haan, Converse, and Hurley.

Finally the companies have combined their styles and literally made a perfect hybrid shoe that is equal parts Cole Haan and Nike: The Lunarglide Wingtip.

The shoe combines the classic wingtip of Cole Haan and added in the light, springy sole of the Lunarlon series for a modern spin on the old style.

I love all the colors they come in, and want to buy them for all the men in my life ASAP.

Navy

Tan


And my personal favorite, the grey with neon sole. And to all of you who know the boyfriend... I maintain the claim that if Alex were to die and come back to life in shoe form, this would be it.

Can't wait to see what the Cole Haan - Nike team has in store next.

Infidele....



Sorry readers! I have been cheating on you.
I started flirting with Tumblr and now we are in a full blown relationship. I'm still working on perfecting the art, it is quite different than blogging on blogspot. But anyways, check it out here:
@ calleyfornia.tumblr.com
I like being able to add quotes, songs, and pictures. And following people reminds me of twitter! Anyways, I think I will still be posting a few things on here, but I feel guilty about leaving homebase. So I will keep this going as well as I can. I like to think of tumblr as more pithy and short, where as this is more like an article or explanation, but really it goes both ways.
I'll try to be as balanced as possible.

I have also been using Pinterest to help collect photos in one place instead of overfilling my hard drive with pretty pictures of fur and Kate Moss. My boards include
Hot Boys, Style, Girl Crush, Art, Cute, Coolness, Shoe Envy
and not surprisingly Girl Crush is the most full category...
Women are beautiful I can't help it!
