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

Hey Jane,
Whole family has amazing style – as ever!
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:
http://hapsical.blogspot.com/2009/06/kerry-taylor-vintage-fashion-auctions.html
have fun on your travels
Sara says
I like your sister’s jacket! Where is it from? :)

Lovely outfits in this post, and pretty photos.! Glad your having fun! Have a safe trip!
Christing says
lovely pics! sounds like a fun trip and i’m soo obsessed with the yellow clutch! love how it’s ridiculously oversized!
http://fashionheodnism.blogspot.com
Lauren says
thanks for the pics Jane! especially for taking the time to do a post on vacation.
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!
KD says
Amazing pictures, your outfit is to die for!
ava says
Hi jane! I like these pics. I like Carols’ RL Rugby Jacket. Pretty! <3 Ava
Mariya says

Your sister IS really pretty. Your family has the best sense of style…most of all your mom! She always looks put together with bit of edge…like the bright yellow oversized bag. I can’t wait to head back to LA, it really is the best place to be.

Hi, was just wondering if you used a DSLR to take your pictures or a normal digital camera? If it’s a digital camera, what brand and model is it? It’d help greatly if you could help me with this.

I was driving by Urth Cafe on Sunday and I totally noticed you walking on the sidewalk, I was like “There is that Texas girl from Sea of Shoes, that’s right I remember she was stopping here on her way to Japan.” You had your hair up and shredded jeans on, a right-on look for here.
Sarah Klassen/Haute Design says
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~
Suzany K says
LOVE Carol’s necklace!!!!!!! Where did she get it?
By the way, does she have a blog??
Lovely pics of you and your mom as well!

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.

ps. where did you go in LA ? looks so high-end !
jess says
oups i got my answer. Foud the ‘Santa-Monica’ part :)
Brenda says
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
Brenda says
And yes, I am just jealous. Duh. No one likes to be poor, living in filth and seeing someone a few years younger than them running around in free $1000 shoes when I can’t even pay my internet bill.
S says
What kind of camera do you use?
Mitchell says

Who makes your sister’s blazer? At first guess I’d say Ralph Lauren but I’m not sure. Also, which season? I think it is absolutely darling and simply must have it.
Donna says
Gorgeous as always! Could you give us the 411 on Carol’s blazer? I’ve been looking for a collegiate, navy blue jacket and this is just lovely.
Many thanks XD

jamie says
Cool. I love these photos. Your moms outfit is as cool as always. Why wasn’t Carol smiling? She’s such a cutie!
rebecca torsiello says
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/

Pretty women, nice people, awesome places, exquisite food, that’s all you can find in LA. For that reason is that it is my favorite place to vacation. LA is really a paradise city.
Retro Jordan says
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.
