Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: Light 'Em Up.

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.

Light 'Em Up.

Yesterday, New York's mayor Michael Bloomberg declared it "Burberry Day".

Really?!

I love the label and its head creative Christopher Bailey, but amongst such important calendar landmarks like President's Day, Memorial Day and Martin Luther King Day, you're going to have Burberry Day??

Anyway, the brand moved its NYC headquarters into the old New York building, and the new sign -- which was lit up last night -- was made to ensure it blended nicely with the city skyline.

After all, a historic structure redone in Burberry plaid would have been just a wee much.

Happy Friday!!

I'm Lovin' it: Target has a new collaboration partner in Carlos Falchi, a fact which I'm extremely excited about, given the fact that I'm a huge fan of snakeskin (faux, preferably). Look out for his handbags to hit Tar-zhay come October 11th.

I'm Over it: Nothing today. Thank you to Sara over at Karyo-Edelman for sending me a six-pack of the new Bud Lite Lime! As you can see below, it was quite enjoyable. It's a very happy Friday, indeed.

Track of the Day: I stuck an old mixed CD from 1999 into my car stereo today and out of my speakers played "Summertime in the LBC" by Doveshack. All come around...to hear the Doveshack G-funk sound...
