angel wings

these pictures are funny because i am standing in front of some street art that makes me look like i have angel wings. i am not an angel. neither is carlos.  ask anyone.  we are more like devils (i was sorted into slytherin on pottermore).  on another note - it was actually cold this weekend.  like below 50 degrees!  at night!  that's cold for los angeles.  i made bf light the pilot light for the heater.   

free people jacket (old, but similar), free people slip, lululemon leggings (similar), frye boots (similar), ray-ban sunglasses, dog not available in stores - he's one of a kind.

my sunday: brunch at urth.  moca at the geffen contemporary.  macaroons from bottega louie.  stopping by the garden to water.  dinner at la cabinita.  i wish it was always sunday.  happy monday?

strawberry sunday + sausage

i was running around LA with my sister all day sunday! we went to the theadshow, but got there too early so wandered around michael levine for awhile, lunched at wurstkuche, took too many photos, shopped at some local boutiuqes in eagle rock, went to the americana, and then went grocery shopping.  so much for a relaxing sunday!     

gap denim jacket, juicy couture dress (old), frye boots, 

ray-ban sunglasses, jw hulme bag

bracelets - sunday girl 77, katrin jurati via letters from LA, vintage, 

rotary watch, tiffany & co, stratus silver

i've totally been having one of those weeks where i am sick of everything i have in my closet.  thankfully my sister came to the rescue!  i owe this outfit to her really - she came in my closet and just pulled out this dress and said she'd never seen me in it & i should wear it.  the dress is a few years old so i found it weird she hadn't seen me in it!  the weather was warmer today, so the dress really worked out perfectly.  sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes to look in your closet when you're having outfit issues (whats the fashion equivalent of writers block??).

and i just thought i'd throw in a few pictures from lunch (plus some cute street art)!

hope you all have a good start of the week!

sunday street art hunt

in case anyone hadn't noticed - banksy was in LA, presumably for the oscars (though exit through the gift shop didn't win... did banksy even attend??) and his art was popping up all over walls & billboards in LA.  most of the pieces were taken down or defaced just as fast they were popping up - however one smart guy decided to put up some plexi over the crayon house foreclosure, which was good to preserve the piece, but bad for my photos.

luckily my mom and sister didn't get snowed in so they drove out to LA and we set out on a mission to see some banksy and get some breakfast.  red & blue velvet pancakes from larchmont bungalow actually. 

sooo delish.  we all shared, i don't think i could eat the whole plate myself.  seriously - just go for the pancakes, if nothing else.  it was ridiculously crowded though, i guess due to all the groupons that they had sold.  finally, after our loooooong breakfast it was off to see a banksy.

there were a few other people there checking out the crayon house foreclosure, and one dude told us about a second "new" banksy in dtla.   

free people jacket, sweater, bandeau, & socks, JC boots, paige jeggings

turns out the girl on a the swing is about a year old.  funny, cause the dude was totally trying to sound like he knew about this new secret banksy that no one else had discovered.  all i did was a little googling and i found out how old it is.  hey dude, you're not that cool!   

crayon house foreclosure can be found at e. washington blvd & compton ave (right near the jbrand outlet - which was having a sale!  hello new jeans!).  the girl on a swing ("the park"???)  can be found on broadway & 9th st. in dtla.  we had to pull into the pay lot to get a look at it though.

for more banksy in LA check out the melrose & fairfax blog, which is where i found the location of the crayon house foreclosure.  not only do they have banksy, but all other street artists in LA!
