SORBET

If there's such thing as a 1950/60s/70s anthropology cheerleader with a penchant for pink and teal, that's what I am. It makes sense in my head -- floral clogs are very 'college political activist,' but the layered skirt looks like something a cheerleader from the same university would wear with the rest of her uniform. Turtlenecks and pom-poms are an indisputably good combo. Maybe it's time I do away with this crazy side-part and get a Farah Fawcett feather-do.

The colors in my sweater are more 1960s mod than they are 1970s schoolgirl (think burnt orange, fuchsia, and dark wash denim) but something about the muted hues whispers "I'M NOT FROM THIS ERA." Don't ask me why I chose to put whispered words in caps lock, I just did. In terms of price consciousness, this sweater is fantastic because it only costs TEN BUCKS!!!!!!! Most of the sweaters from Natural Colour are between 10 and 20 dollars. Just my price point.

I'D RATHER BE CLOGGING THAN BLOGGING

The title says it all, friends. I would rather slip my feet into a supple pair of paisely patchwork clogs than open up my Blogger dashboard and hit "new post." I guess both are pretty therapeutic, which is why I'm wiggling my toes in the very pair of slip-ons I'm sporting in the following photos AS I type this. Does anyone else feel overwhelmingly meta right now? No one knows what I'm talking about? Less Philosophy 101, more wooden platforms!!!!!!!!!!!

Clogs - CLOG OUTLET Sanita clogs, http://tinyurl.com/3fz355m

Realistically, I could talk for twenty minutes about these clogs. I originally made them my formspring background because I feel like they define so much of my "brand." They're made by a company called Sanita -- which identifies as makers of "the original Danish clog since 1907" -- and are available on a site called Clog Outlet. Needless to say, the fact that an entire online WAREHOUSE dedicated to CLOGS makes me want to quietly cry tears of the purest ecstasy. When I'm not wearing these precious yellow European wonders, I'll be using them as furniture within my bedroom. I think they'd make great vases, and if it were the late 1990s, good cell phone carriers. The point is, these slip-ons are daisy print perfect.

STREET SNUPPED

Can you hear me over the loudness of my color-crazy laptop bag???? I just had it custom made by SNUPPED and paired it with a few vibrant garments to bring out the zany colors present in the print! The title of this design is "Harajuku Street", so I hoped to somewhat capture the candid Japanese theme. Granted, I'm not wearing a massive bow in my hair, platform creepers, and a pastel tutu, but the essence of a color-blocked lolita should surely suffice.

And before I forget (as if I could forget), allow me to verbally drool all over these adorable little floral print wedge babies!! They're by my all-time favorite shoe company, Irregular Choice, and feature an oriental carving in the heel. The creamy color scheme couldn't be any better suited for my wardrobe.

Everlasting thanks to SNUPPED and IRREGULAR CHOICE for making this outfit possible!

BE †RUE

If you're like me and a fan of Audrey Kitching and Almost Famous, then you were probably crazy inspired by this 1970s roadie get-up she threw together using a floppy hat, drapey jacket, and leopard print dress. I decided I likewise wanted to try my luck at channeling the frisk and funk of groupie superstar Penny Lane. I ended up going a little more organic than I had originally intended, but at least the 1960s can hold a respectable light up to the style of the Seventies.

NEW YORK ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey everyone! Some of you may have already heard that I'm heading to New York on Wednesday the 16th for an entire week in the big apple. The official BEBE ZEVA documentary, filmed and produced by lit, art, and performance icons Tao Lin and Megan Boyle, will be premiered at the Soho House in Manhattan on March 20th. The documentary and venue have been described as follows:

Legendary Children, an event series that highlights the work of emerging filmmakers, announces the premiere of the documentary Bebe Zeva at the Soho House on Sunday, March 20. The documentary, which revolves around the eponymous 17-year-old fashion blogger, marks the acclaimed novelist’s first foray into filmmaking with his wife Megan Boyle.

Working with a minimalist, low-budget aesthetic (Lin shot the film with his Macbook Pro) Bebe Zeva charts one night with the young blogger, as she talks with Lin and Boyle about her life while showing them around Las Vegas. The simple, utilitarian storytelling set against the absurd, over-the-top backdrop of Vegas calls to mind the similar tone of Lin’s books, such as Shoplifting From American Apparel and Richard Yates. Lin’s body of work (two novels, a novella, a short story collection and two books of poetry) have earned him a cult following and pegged him as one of the most influential young writers working today.Bebe Zeva provides an opportunity to see his literary aesthetic translated into the world of cinema.

Zeva is something of a fashion blogger prodigy–by age 17 she has already been featured in Seventeen and Teen Vogue and was recently a panelist at the WWD Magic trade show. Her online following–across Twitter, Tumblr, Formspring, and her personal blog “Fated to be Hated”–is enormous and enthusiastic.

If you're interested in viewing the documentary, pre-order it at http://mdmafilms.org!

NOW PRESENTING THE OUTFIT I WORE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILM

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:

Scarf- Anthropologie

Velvet blazer- Ralph Lauren

Dress- American Apparel

Kitten pumps- Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo

Looking back on the outfit, I can't understand why I wasn't wearing a hat and thigh-highs. Brown floppy hat and navy tights would have worked perfectly. UGH. YA LIVE AND YA LEARN.

These are my shoes. They are filthy with whipped cream. Please refer to the documentary for more details.

Lastly, if you can provide any advice on what I should see, where I should dine, and how to get the best bargains when shopping, please feel free to leave me a comment or send me an email! I also need YOUR help on picking out the right outfits since this is my first foray into the city. I have no idea what to expect and am going to need a great deal of support from my readers! You're the entire reason that so many incredible things have been happening to me lately. The positivity and encouragement is what keeps me driven to pursue my goals. AND on that note- Happy Birthday to my baby blog, which officially turns 5 months old today. :)

P▲G▲N

I was standing in line at Coffee Bean the other day, wearing this multi-layered outfit of cotton, wool, viscose, and leather, when a friend of mine broke the ice and asked what on earth theme I was attempting to master. Instead of letting me provide a detailed analysis of my own ensemble, we consulted the baristo and asked for his guess on my arrangement. He was stumped. Others surmised 'scarecrow', 'picnic hippie', and 'gardening cowgirl'. None of those are what I had in mind when I dressed myself that morning, but it's possible that every interpretation is to some extent 'correct' regardless of my intentions. I don't wear a sign around my neck explaining my thought processes to passerby. It's up to everybody else to 'make of it what they will'. And I'm delighted to accept those hypotheses.

But the truth is, my intended theme was 'free-spirited pagan' slash 'organic witch' slash 'sun-worshiping earth girl'.

Scarf- Anthropologie

Jacket- My Tribe

Skirt- Nordstrom

Ankle boots- Steve Madden

I know my face looks funny in the last picture, but that's okay. You don't have to be 'hawt' to be fashionable. Clothes can compensate for all your weaknesses ;)

My inspiration for this outfit was obviously Tavi and her mystical forest rompings.

We don't have forests here in Las Vegas so I had to settle for my condo's woodsy courtyard instead. ANYWHO, I am looking to get a pair of clogs, platforms, and wedges in the near future. Considering publishing my current loose-leaf shopping list to the internet but I'm not sure what sort of criticism that may entail. Interested? Yes? No? Completely indifferent to my online existence and wondering how you even ended up on this webpage in the first place? Feel free to send me an email with incisive feedback.

At last.
