Graham (And Spencer) Crackers

No matter where I go or what I do, my style will always be influenced by Los Angeles: floaty tops, tight bottoms, oversize bags, big jewelry, incognito sunglasses, shoes shoes shoes and all-around SoCal flair -- minus the sugar-free, fat-free, no whip vanilla latte from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

L.A.-based designers Jenny Graham and Toni Spencer -- originally overseas girls from South Africa and London -- make up the clothing label Graham and Spencer. Their clothing label is as everything an Angeleno strives to be: sophisticatedly chic and modern, yet hip all at once. One look at the Graham & Spencer Spring 2007 collection and I was hooked. Who wouldn't want to slip into this flattering round-neck silk tunic with the odd but strangely beautiful color combination of grey, taupe and cream??

I sure as heck would.

And Vancouver's spring time is just around the corner. Well, not really.





I'm Lovin' it: RoidRage photographer Jeremy Kost's jewelry collaboration with Rusty Pistachio (I know, that name is a lot to take in right now) of PNUT Jewelry. The result? This limited edition solid sterling silver camera necklace on a matching silver ball chain. If only you could take real pictures with it. Oh, how devil-ish that could be...





I'm Over it: No car. Lots of rain.

Track of the Day: "Bitch" by the MisShapes. These rock/new wave/pop DJ-ing "It Kids" -- Leigh Lezark, Greg K. and Geordon -- of the uber-hip Williamsburg/SoHo set have reached notoriety status over the past few years for their huge parties at Don Hill's in New York. Never mind that they're mere babies -- 22, 26 and 23 years old respectively -- they have the hipster and fashion worlds at their feet. Lezark (arguably the group's breakout star) has already graced the pages of Vogue in all her cold beauty, while Geordon (a fellow Canadian) has just about the best and blackest bowl cut ever. And if you dig them, check out their version of Madonna's "Jump" from her "Confessions On A Dance Floor" album.
