I Was a Teenage Fashion Groupie

Two particular events this summer really stand-out on my lifetime list of fashion experiences.

1) After spending hours perusing the splendor of the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit at the Petit Palais, I made my requisite Paris jaunt to Colette. While upstairs, who do I happen to see with an ensemble of beautiful, young male assistants? None other than the kaiser himself, Karl Lagerfeld. My sister says that I started to hyperventilate. Anywho, it was quite a shock to see him shopping for clothes at a popular boutique on a Friday afternoon. The Chanel couture presentation was the next day! Emergency shopping trip for the perfect outfit to receive ovation in? I think yes. As a fashion groupie, I didn't dare approach the man. Every time I attempted a casual glance in his direction, one of his entourage always instantly met my gaze, sternly. I think. It was even funnier seeing him at the cash register. And yes, he was fully dressed in the KL uniform.

2) My mom asked me to take her to our Hindu temple in Malibu for her birthday. Once we arrived, we were met by several white trailers. Apparently it was the Elle September issue covershoot starring Julia Roberts. Anyway, I was able to stay on set for the entire shoot. Met Julia, the priest told her about my infant head-shaving ceremony, and Julia kindly took me over and introduced me to wardrobe! If you've never been on a photoshoot before, you can't imagine the mass of clothing, accessories, and shoes on set. I met almost everyone on set and my mom embarrassed me a lot. Also got to help out and consult! Thanks God! My first paparazzi shot. I look good!:

ALEX WANG JERSEY

The boy wonder reps NYC, but he can rock jersey hard. This season, his mastery of draping the fabric is so covetable. 




It can be mine for $395. Did I mention that it's one piece? 



$415



$695

Things I Love This Season That Are Economically Possible

The Victor Osborne Turban Beanie in Charcoal


It's unrequited love. I saw it in black in the atelier back in October, found out that it came in charcoal, so I decided I'd come back later. I came back two months later, still in black. I came back another month later, only one black hat left...not for sale. I even left my email, etc with the store. I emailed Victor, and he said that all the stocks were sold out and production had ceased on this style. He said that, due to its popularity, he would bring it back to life next fall. :(
I am not a hat person. I don't think that I look good in hats. This was the one that changed everything! My friend made up a song about me and this hat, "I'm In Love With A Beanie", a rip-off of T-Pain.

Better Late Than Never Crystal Earrings

This simple design makes me look the right amount hardcore. 

Unearthen Bullet Minerals Necklaces


There is an awesome stone selection.

Speaking of the Surge Towards Beauty...

Oscar de la Renta is supposedly jumping the bandwagon.

Let's talk shoes at Valentino...

I've become increasingly anti-heels, especially after hearing a friend's horror story about acquiring bunions, but I can't deny these beauties.:
