Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: Skye High

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.

Skye High

Hunting down the perfect new wallet that has me written all over it is one of my biggest fashion priorities right now, because the little green thing I'm currently rocking just isn't cutting it anymore.

Much like how I need my purse to be an extra large (because apparently my whole apartment has to come with me), I need my wallet to be NOT an extra small.

Last Thursday I rejoiced and did a little jig in my head, because I may have found The One.

Apparently CC Skye's Nikki clutch comes in a wallet version. Picture royal blue (like my new Graham & Spencer top) and lots of gold hardware. Thanks to the ladies over at Blubird who are working on my behalf to get one in store!

Not many of the accessories I own can be defined as conventional, and it's not something I want my cash carrier to be, either.

Quirky, cool, unconventional CC Skye -- just how I like it.

I'm Lovin' it: My weekend. Good company, good laughs, good food, good ski and good times. It reinvigorated my soul to get out of the city and onto the hill. There's nothing like mountain air to make you feel brand new again.

I'm Over it: Yikes. Why do I have 400 emails?? This madness has to stop.

Track of the Day: "Lights Out" by We Fell To Earth. Richard File and Wendy Raw Fowler. From California. File had been the replacement to DJ Shadow in UNKLE. Their music intergalactic sounding and really quite riveting.
