Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: Swingers.

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.

Swingers.

Victoria Beckham impressed the fashion world with her dress collection, one that has a faint feel of her good friend Roland Mouret (who has allegedly helped her out since the beginning).

Equally impressive is the new video promoting her Fall '09 collection, directed by Matt Jerrett and very appropriately called "Swings".

Eight models clad in the line move together on rope swings, a peaceful scene ending with a back view cameo of Beckham a la fin.

Word is that this was filmed all in one take.

Swing, baby, swing.

I'm Lovin' it: I was completely enamored with DNA11's fingerprint and DNA art when it first came out. So you can imagine me salivating at the mouth upon sight of these fingerprint wedding bands by Brent and Jessica Williams. They're very affordable, too, in case that platinum ring ain't happening.

I'm Over it: Disappearing acts.

Music of the Day: Thunderheist. This techno, hip hop, electro mish-mash Montreal duo (made up of Isis and GrahmZilla) made musical headlines when their track "Jerk It" made it onto The Wrestler. Dirty dance party tunes, for sure.
