Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: Lombard Me With More Shoes!

Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic

The daily chronicle of a fashion-and-beauty obsessed, style-writing, pseudo-Angeleno who made her way from the Great White North to La-La Land -- otherwise known as Los Angeles, California -- and back again. Till the next big city calls out her name, that is.

: Name: Haute Hippie; Location: Everywhere and anywhere

I'm a Vancouverite who moonlighted as an Angeleno. My momma is the best in the entire world, and I'll argue you hoarse on that one. I've been in love only once in my life. The East Coast calls me but the West Coast is in my blood. Social butterflies -- and party animals -- are a great species. Fashion and writing will be the death of me, but what a way to go. Carine Roitfeld is fabulous. I would die a painful death if art, design, photography, fashion, music and dancing did not exist. Always kind of wondered why Smurfette was the only girl in town. I can't draw. Absolutely believe everything happens for a reason. I feel so lucky to have the girlfriends that I do. I'm a total sun baby. Think I might be a workaholic. I may have slight road rage. Ice cream and hockey are religions. I buy too many glossy magazines. Nothing beats someone with a killer sense of humor. Chivalry is really not dead. I'm a victim of minor vertigo and a serious lead foot. Always up for meeting people from paths different than mine and crossing paths with old friends. At the very end of it all, I want to be able to look back and say: Yeah, I sure lived a damn good life.

Lombard Me With More Shoes!

Hunting and gathering is so neanderthal.

Unless it has to do with fashion, because I'm currently hunting to gather these Sam Edelman Lombard Booties that I spotted last weekend at Urban Outfitters. They did have a size 6, but it just happened to be way too big for me. I mean, why have a peep-toe if the shoes are too big to see your toe, anyway?

Hello, midget feet. Looks like I need a size cinco (that's size 5, yo).

Hunt, gather, wear.

I'm Lovin' it: Oh boy. Not another pair of shoes to love. Hello, Colonial Madness Cutout Boot. Also from Urban Outfitters. It was a UO kind of weekend, apparently.

I'm Over it: The wind literally bent my umbrella out of shape while I walked back to my apartment from the Spring '09 Converse preview. I had to bend metal back so that the damn thing would close. Uh, Rosie the Riveter I am not.

Music of the Day: I love electronica. I love hip hop. That's why I love Keys N Krates, a two-man group (comprising of DJ Jr. Flo and Matisse) that mix the two. Check out their live remix of Daft Punk below.
