"I'm Gonna Pop Some Tags..."

Holy Chanel!  I found some amazing designer duds in this heaping pile of awesomeness...the best part?  Cost me less than $20!!!

"Recycle, re-use, reduce"...we're all pretty familiar with this concept.  Most of the time its when we separate our plastic, glass, and paper products.  However, this concept has been gaining popularity in the garment industry, and it's turning into a cult craze.

There are many great second-hand and vintage shops within the Greater Los Angeles Area but some of my most favorites are in Long Beach.  These shots were taken as we perused 4th street's many vintage and second-hand boutiques...of course after grabbing an awesome latte at Portfolios coffeehouse.

My friend and photographer of these images (Priscilla) did a nice job of capturing my utter and sheer excitement!

This movement is so popular that the awesome Macklemore made a snazzy video about it:

In "Luu" of Chan: DTLA

I decided to take a (not so) little stroll down to the showrooms of LA's Fashion District and pay my old friend Chan Luu a visit.

Chan Luu has added some amazing pieces to their new collection!  They've
definitely branched out from their early days as a high end accessories brand.

From bedazzled gypsy skirts to blingin' bustiers, I was smitten with their flirtatious new clothing pieces that kept true to the sparkle and elegance that is Chan Luu. 

Chan Luu is definitely making a giant blip on my style radar this season and should on yours too!!!

Coachella of the Future

Coachella 2013

With the highly publicized appearance of the Tupac hologram at this year's Coachella festival we begged the question:  What if we created a festival where all of our past musical favorites were resurrected?
