shades of gray

vintage top, ksubi jeans, thrifted flats

I haven't updated in over a week? Oops, my bad. Obviously my schedule has a lot to do with it but there's also a broken camera involved. Something is wrong with the lens and it seems like 30-40% of the time it works and the rest of the time it just gives me a giant headache. Is this a sign that I should get my slr? Blegh.

I'm not sure if I explained this yet but when I purchase an item of clothing that I'm 100% infatuated with, I end up wearing it at least three or four times within a week of buying it. I've worn this top in at least three different variations and here's one which I managed to photograph in this photo with my boyfriend. Today's version strays away from my usual black + white combo light gray jeans instead (I refuse to admit where I got them, though). Okay, they're Brent's but in my defense, they were always way too tight on him and they're still pretty loose on me.

Wait, where was I going with this? Oh, the shirt. Here's a cute little story: the whole time I was holding on to it at the store wondering if I should buy it, I thought to myself "This would be ten times better if I could roll up the sleeves..." Lo and behold, upon further inspection a couple hours later at home I discovered buttons midway up the sleeves and, oh my, inside straps to attach to said buttons. As if the lightly printed leaf pattern wasn't already enough to sway me, here's something even better! I deserve a sugar donut for this.

Comme Des Garcons Weekend

Vest: Comme Des Garcons, Tank: Forever 21, Denim Shorts: Gap, Boots: Cole Haan, Necklace: What Comes Around Goes Around, Bracelets/Rings: random

This is what I wore over the weekend hanging with a good friend around my house. I'm currently really into this Comme Des Garcons vest. If you look closely, you can see the really pretty flowers designed on it. It's grungy with torn, rough edges (my favorite). It's green color is perfect for Fall. I wish I could show a pic of the back, it's so cool (short and torn on one side).This is my only piece from Comme Des Garcons and I am totally in love with the whole Japanese feel going on with all their designs. The first thing my mom said when she saw me was "what are you wearing?" Hahaha. But, I guess that's something you'll get when you wear Comme Des Garcons, aren't all their pieces a little strange? But I love it!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I know i did! :)

xoxo, Natalie

Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party

Dress: Whitley Kros, Booties: Burberry, Bag: Vintage, Bracelets/Rings: Random

Last night I went to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party so I pulled out my favorite party dress, this amazing piece by the designers of Whitley Kros. I'm in love with the bold print!

The party was held at Milk Studios and began with a D&G runway show. It took forever for everyone to get seated so I was happy when the show finally started. I really liked some pieces in the collection, like the little strapless frocks and old vintage looking prints. Here are some pictures of the show:

Lisa Love, west coast editor! Amy Astley was there too, but didn't get to snap a picture! They are both incredibly stylish women, love Lisa's sequined tux outfit.

We spent the rest of the night dancing to beats that Kelly Osbourne and her friend were playing. So much fun! A lot of Nickelodeon/ Disney kids were dancing in our cirlce too (not surprising haha)! There were definitely some celebrity sightings, like Taylor Lautner (the cover boy) was there, tons of television stars with recognizable faces, and lots of hip girls and guys that you've probably seen on the cobrasnake!

Here's Dylana, my sister. Check out her amazing blog: www.colormenana.blogspot.com

English band, The Noisettes, played and they were SO GOOD and full of energy! The lead singer had an amazing voice. I am now in love with their music. You should look them up, you'll be hooked!





Grabbed a gift bag on the way out of course which came with the new D&G perfume :)

And I took this pic of me off of the Cobrasnake. My header pic was also taken by Mark! Looks like I need my fringe trimmed!



I thought the Teen Vogue party I went to 2 years ago was fun, but last nights definitely topped it. Teen Vogue never fails to have great parties :)
