RANDOM PICTURES FROM LA

Fashion
Jun 17, 2009158 Comments

This would be my last day in Los Angeles, tomorrow afternoon my mom and I are flying to Tokyo. I'm sooo tired from running around LA for three days.
We're staying in Santa Monica-am very happy to see a beach. We have a great view at the restaurant at the top of our hotel.
 
One of my favorite stops here in LA was at Maxfield.   
I love the sculptures outside the store.
Really windy and kinda chilly in LA this weekend.
Hence the dumb poses in these pictures! Wearing thrifted vintage leather shorts, YSL cage heels, Lillith blouse, and Prada bag.
Carol fondling my mom's Natalia Brilli leather-covered amp chord. 
Kinda looks like she has my mom on a leash. Not a bad idea considering some of her antics here in LA ;)
 
My mom (and I) are in love with her yellow Margiela clutch.
The Nolex by Natalia Brilli and her usual Omega Seamaster watch.
Hanging out at Betsey Johnson while my sister tried on some v. cute dresses.
We had a nice lunch at Sur on Monday.
 
The whole time we were here my younger sister wouldn't let me take her picture-she had all these cute outfits on, but she'd pull some weirdo face like this whenever the camera came out. What a jerk! Hahaha.
when we were driving around we kept seeing this poster for a new Jack Black movie and me, my mom, and my dad all agreed that Carol's crazy facial expressions made her look like Jack Black's would-be, could-be daughter. 
I did get one normal picture of her though-so pretty when she doesn't stick her tongue out at me ;) that isn't to say I don't love the pictures I get of her funny faces.
I didn't bring my camera out today but I was very happy to see Lucrecia (of Fashion is Poison)-had so much fun.
About to fall asleep at the keyboard at this point-goodnight and next time you hear from me, I'll be in Tokyo!
xo Jane

    If you have time, check this out-
    I know you love vintage, and I just found out about these auctioneers who sell the most incredible designer vintage (think YSL Haute Couture from the 60s), from pre-1900 stuff right up to 80s Comme and 90s Gaultier. Did a post on my blog about them:

    I really love your Prada bag, but I’m beginning to think carrying it with every outfit may be hurting the outfits a little bit-or even if not hurting, simply adding nothing to them. Enlisting 1 or 2 more bags in the rotation wouldn’t hurt!

    Fun pics! I have been following your blog for at least 6 months and love each post…
    Santa Monica is just gorgeous, definitely one of my favorite places to go. (will be returning early spring) There are some nice boutiques and restaurants that are not too far. I love Grill on The Alley best I think…their rice pudding is divine! Hope Carol found some cute things at Betsy Johnson – had they had some adorable dresses and cardis – I particularly loved the posh cream and black cardi with the lady’s face illustrated on the back!
    Hope you had a chance to rest up and have a great flight to Tokyo! I can’t wait to see your next post~

    Where did your sister get that blazer? And if it wasn’t from a store that mass-produces them, where do you recommend I find one? It’s fabulous! I love your style but I’m kind of addicted to the whole menswear thing.

    Hi. My name is Jane and I am rich as hell. In traditional Texan girl fashion, bigger means better and the bigger my shoe closet gets, the better I am than the rest of you. I love all of the adoration and worship I get for being a 17 year old rich girl with a $40,000 shoe collection and can’t and won’t stop growing. The only reason why I have this blog is to show off what I have and you, not. Most of you will go your entire lives without owning a fraction of what I already have but please, keep coming to my blog and checking me out! The more attention I get, the more fans I amass. xoxoxo

    The reason why she wears the same clothes and shoes over and over is because she is “real” not “fake” like Sea of shoes or so she says. But hey! What’s wrong with wearing the same items over and over if you feel good about what you have on your body? /this was taken from another blogger’s comment section, time for a dose of reality/

    In overcast conditions the skylight is always blue (clear skies are needed for the pink light) and it is generally much darker, with night falling much more quickly.
