Over the weekend, James and I went to my aunt's place for my cousin's first birthday party! Warning: this is an irrelevant, picture-heavy post, but I was just having fun with James' XSI.
After an hour of listening to Itsy Bitsy Spider on the guitar and watching a really pretty clown work the room, James and I had to get out... We walked a few blocks to Olvera Street. As you walk down a plaza of street venders, you're somewhat overwhelmed by the culture's richness and beautiful, vibrant aesthetics. Definite tourist stop.
I totally dressed down, but lately, this has been my omg-I-have-to-leave-the-house-now outfit. And James scored these sweet shoes on eBay, and I can't stop staring at his feet in envy of such a good deal.
On me:
- Shirt: Chloé
- Jeans: Levi's
- Shoes: Chloé
- Bag: Quicksilver
On James:
- Cardigan: Cloth + Logic (JustJared did a sweepstakes, and James and I spent one night spamming the comment box for this, and he won! I laughed so hard when he told me he got an email from JustJared for his shipping address. I think, combined, we contributed a good 1000 comments.)
- Shirt: American Apparel
- Jeans: Levi's
- Shoes: Comme des Garçons (so sexy, right?)

Great pics. I love how downtown LA is so hipster now. When I lived there it was still on the cusp of becoming what it is now.
goodness that penthouse is absolutely gorgeous! one day I will live in one... lol.
i love your pants!
I love this post. Wish you would do more of them. Onto the outfit... fantastic! Everything from the individual pieces to the proportions are right on.
PS. Who is James? Is he your boyfriend?
Your aunt has a beautiful house! I love the spiral staircase; I've always wanted one like that. :]
& your cousin is absolutely adorable! I especially love the picture where she's asleep, missing all the action at her party. ;]

I know this is already going to be taken as an offensive comment, so I wont even bother with saying "no offense"
From looking at your pictures, I can see that you have a great sense of fashion, and very eclectic style. But I also don't think you put things together nicely. Trying to wear 5 trends at one time just ends up looking a hot mess. Take Nicole Richie for example, she always looks so put together and chic, because she doesn't over do it. She also wears clothing that flatters her body. You wear so many things that just don't look good on you. I think it's great to be into fashion and all that, but sometimes you just end up looking ridiculous, instead of "chic"
It would be awesome if it actually came from Doug but alas no. I just kind of made it up but I guess I'm not that original...
Dude that loft is freaking fabulous. I think the iron-casted stair case is what makes it. No?
I really like your blog & your style.
I'm definitely keeping you as one of my favorite blogs on my blog roll :)
gyeahhhhhh HAPA power!
You two look great. Love all the photos.
thanks girl ♥

Totally agree with the half asian, half white baby thing. They always turn out to be stunningly beautiful people....I've always wanted mixed babies.
If you and james had kids they'd definitely be part of the gorgeous mixed babies circle ;)
