PATTERN BLOCK X PALLADIUM

Yes, I AM wearing a leopard print silk blouse on top of a baby blue floral print dress! And what better to bring all the business together than my new Palladium boots?? You're probably seeing these babies pop up everywhere since they're the new Spring 'it' shoe for those who are into something a little tougher than the average sandal wedge. I didn't want to be typical and wear them with shorts and a t-shirt (although I confess I that I WILL be seen in said ensemble dozens of times throughout the summer here in Vegas) so I chose the dress instead! Aside from having to ask someone else to zip up the back for me, this dress is incredibly easy to put on and (very unfortunately) it enables me to get lazy and wear it over and over and over again...

Boots- PALLADIUM "BAGGY LITE"

About the boots- they look sturdy as ever, but they're actually incredibly light on the feet which makes doing just about anything active exponentially easier. I guess to some extent these boots are like crocs, except for exclusively fashionable people.

LA UPDATE

I've been wearing the same pair of pastel shorts for over 24 hours and chunks of my hair are knotted into oblivion from sleeping in one too many unfavorable positions on the couch. My throat is sore from talking in pitches octaves higher than what I'm used to and my mascara is sparse on my eyelashes, heavy on my cheeks. And life is swell. There's no time to sleep or take breaks. Here in LA we've been hopping from one thrift store to the next, visiting every available abstract abode, trying to photograph as much of it as we can without forgetting that experiencing life is more important than recording it. The weather is cool and the palm trees are tall and everyone knows what they're doing but doesn't know they're doing it. I could go on for hours about what I've seen and felt among these people...

Head over to THE COBRASHOP and sprinkle some BBZV glitter and glam all over your wardrobe by purchasing some of the vintage pieces I had the pleasure of modeling!

LOS ANGELES

Hey everyone, I'm in LA! I arrived Thursday morning to compose an article on my friend Kandice, whose presence in the music industry is quickly building in intensity. Yesterday I had the pleasure of accompanying her into the recording studio. Wore this outfit en route to Hollywood... comfortable enough for a 5 hour car ride, but tough enough to maintain my image!

Doc Martens- Buffalo Exchange

This is what I've looked like every day for the past 3 days.

QUI N'AIME PAS LA MER?

Who doesn't love the sea? I've been enamored by the scents and sounds of sea salts and sea shells since my infancy. You might not know this, but I was born right on Miami Beach! It's probably in my destiny to move back some day. One can only be without the ocean for so long. And on the topic of oceans- have you guys heard the album Cape Dory by Tennis? It's my second all-time favorite record, next to Room on Fire by The Strokes. The whole album is a documentation of the band's experience at sea, set to lo-fi melodies overflowing with nautical sincerity. I proudly admit to skipping around my room with "Seafarer" on blast while wearing this very maritime get-up! Red sky at night, sailor's delight.

Flats- Target

My title is (of course) in French, because the aesthetic I'm trying to convey is both Parisian and aquatic. Accents like my black ribbon and red frill assert that I'm young and romantic, while pieces like the beret and cardigan effervesce a 1950s beatnik charm. Altogether, the effect is French lolita looking for love at the naval base. Seafarer, you and I belong together!
