Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: White Brites.

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.

White Brites.

Many good, fun things in this world are white: rice, bunnies, Elmer's Glue, snow, Liquid Paper, crisp new stationary, a blank painting canvas before you go to town on it, the inside of Martin Margiela's studios, MacBooks and adidas Originals Stan Smiths.

So in homage of this shade of color (or lack of color), I'm wearing white today and sharing with you some images that are inspiring me to appreciate it even more than I already do.

D&G Spring 2010.

SJP filming the second Sex and the City movie.

Moschino Cheap & Chic sleeveless vest worn as a dress.

Quilted Chanel guitar case.

Gianfranco Ferre white open-toe booties.

Carrie Bradshaw's Lanvin short and tiered wedding dress.

Carrie Bradshaw's matching Lanvin accessories.

I'm Lovin' it: Catherine Bruhwiler, the woman who taught me how to surf (though I'm still not pro by any menas), is a spokeswoman for Skoah beauty products. Go, Cath!

I'm Over it: My eye has been twitching all day, and it's getting mighty annoying. Lack of sleep, perhaps.

Track of the Day: "I'm Ready" by Kano from the UK, who holds courts with other Brit rappers like Dizzee Rascal and Lady Soverign. Heard this while with Trini at one of my favorite sushi spots, and have thus been listening to it ever since. Interesting fact I read: Kano was courted by Hugo Boss in 2004 to model for them, but he decline to go touring. Now that's true love for your craft.
