PARIS, FRANCE- Paris fashion week!!! I plan on being VERY busy so my choice of clothes is comfort. I love the print on this dress and especially the ruffle on the hips. I found a very quaint hotel that paid much attention to detail. Details count in more ways than one!

Leather Jacket, Alma Aguilar, (almaaguilar.com for pricing information); Dress, $46, Twelve by Twelve;  Chanel Purse, $425, Resurrection


 LONDON, UK- This evening I wore one of my favorite jackets to one of my favorite restaurants, Sake No Hama.
Spanish designer Alma Aguilar has been growing her collection in the last couple of years and has recently got some great press with a store in the Salamanca district of  Madrid. She comes from a creative back round with her father a jazz player and her mother a painter. The small shoulder details she creates in this jacket are what makes it stand out to me!

LONDON, UK- If you've ever been to the "Sunday Up Market" on Brick Lane then you know exactly why this post is called SEE AND BE SEEN. One of my favorite Sunday hangouts, It's the true mecca of all things street style. Small booths line a industrial warehouse packed with the most unique people and things. Find anything from Art to Fashion to food from around the world. With any budget you'll never go home empty handed...
 
Inspired by Isabel Marants Fall '09 RTW show, I picked up this vintage wolf coat for £120, while the jewelry in the pictures shown went for a mere £12-£20 a piece.

Zipped


LOS ANGELES, CA- I came to L.A. this weekend for some very important business. On my drive  up I was reading the latest addition of Marie Claire US (with Ashley Olsen on the cover... whom I LOVE). I got to page 28 where they have an article on motorcycle jackets when it hit me,.. I'm missing this key piece in my wardrobe!?! I wasted no time... I got on my blackberry and found my nearest thrift store locations. I wasn't really expecting to find the perfect one, but I did!!
