chick-fil-fail.

these shots were taken a few steps outside my apartment building. we were busting a mission that failed miserably. FYI, chick-fil-a on hollywood and highland is closed on sundays! we arrived only to turn away awed by the fact that a fast food chain was closed on a sunday....

we ended up at mcafe and then the grove where we ran into haylie duff. for those who don't know, she's hilary duff's older sister. they were cool back when i was 13.

i highly recommend the girl with the dragon tattoo 1) because rooney mara is seriously amazing, and 2) because daniel craig's still amazing. also because the movie is well written and every single actor in that movie is really good.

friggatriskaidekaphobia

"Frigga being the name of the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen"
- wikipedia (because i believe this is a valid source.)

"According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in North Carolina, about 17 million people fear Friday the 13th."
-www.livescience.com

after combing the top 3 sites google suggested for "friday the 13th superstitions" and still coming up empty-handed, i decided to retire my curiosity for the color black and it's relation to this holiday. however, if any of you know, feel free to let me know because apparently google was useless.

weekend plans consist of a wonderfully authentic chinese dinner with my family on saturday whom i miss terribly and a home-cooked breakfast from the babe after the gym on sunday.

iphone photo editing

one of my favorite things about my iphone, probably my favorite thing in general, is all of the awesome photo editing applications. believe me, if you've ever had a blackberry, it's like switching from paint to photoshop, if even. here are some photos i edited from vegas using my iphone.





all the pretty ladies playing with pink props...

nik and i camping out for the extra comforters. housekeeping tried to pass off extra large towels as down feather comforters. you best bet i made them send us new ones. and to ensure we didn't miss the knocking, nik and i camped out my the door...

someone tried to stab me with a corkscrew. :(

before we dispersed!

lighting

i'm excited to share that i just did a guest blog for chan luu! you can view it here.


the photos from that blog are a lot brighter which is usually how i like my images. however, i also like changing things up so here are some pictures from the day before.






top: free people // jeans: all saints // jacket: urban outfitters // boots: steve madden

first pair of all saints jeans and i must say, i love their extreme comfort. the waistband does not produce muffin tops. woohoo!

"never hate those people who are jealous of you but respect their jealousy because they are the ones who think that you are better than them."

my favorite plaid shirt





top: men's vintage // jeans: rich & skinny // booties: betsey johnson // bag: balenciaga // sunglasses: house of harlow 1960

unlike most fashion lovers, i'm not intensely attracted to vintage finds. mostly i find that the pieces have bizarre silhouettes or protruding shoulder pads. not flattering on my 5' 2" frame at all. however, i do like vintage flannels and denim cut offs. more than a lot.

i found this men's flannel at a small boutique on the sunset strip and it literally feels like i'm wearing pajamas. i'd be lying if i said i didn't live in this for an entire week. hygiene was not my greatest concern, clearly. i've since then picked up a few different flannels that i can rotate but none that have that same relaxed, cool vibe.
