Confessions of a Fashion Fanatic: A Couple of Coupland.

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.

A Couple of Coupland.

I was emptying my camera out and found some good snaps of Douglas Coupland's artwork at the temporary Roots x Coupland pop-up shop that went up here (it's now, sadly, gone).

There's a funny shot of the author-artist himself, too.

Happy Monday!

Besos,
Haute Hippie

I'm Lovin' it: My interview with Michael Green of McFarlane Biggar Green Architecture + Design for V.I.A. is up! What a fantastic chat with an amazing mind.

I'm Over it: Taking care of Reebs' cat is great, but I've got tons of cat fuzz all over my clothes now. He's so cute, though, I'm just going to have to get over being over it.

Track of the Day: "You" by Gold Panda. Electronic goodness from Seattle. Plus he wears a knit panda hat performing. I really think it's the last point that sold me.
