So I was crusin' on my way home one day from work last week near USC, and I nearly flipped a bitch into oncoming traffic because this street art jumped out and said a special hello to my eyeballs. It is off of Jefferson...near Slauson I think, in the "Arts District" that takes up several blocks of that particular 'hood. The one on the very top had a web address tagged in the corner that you can go to www.digitalretna.com if you're interested in knowing more about the artist. As for the rest of them, I wasn't clear...you know the deal by now, if you are/know the artist, holler at me so I can give credit where its due. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">The title of this blog post says it all: This selection of Los Angeles street art is located just before the entrance to the 10 East fwy, off of Lincoln blvd. Ch-check it out if you're ever by there, its freakin' inspirational. As always, I suck at reading the tag that tells you who the dang artist is, so, if you know, or are better at reading it than I am, shout it out!!</span></div>

Ok, I will say that we have a mix of furs, leather, pleather and pure lust going on up in this mix. Some people get really caught up with notions of what is appropriate for day and night, but I would like to think that with the right attitude, any lady (or dude, because the man-purse is totally IN and forever will be) can sport these with true panache.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">Yes indeedy, if I were making mucho bank I would purchase every last one of these little lovelies. That's why they comprise my 'wishful thinking' list...cuz there sho aint nothing wrong with dreaming :) I selected a color pallette of browns and blacks because these are colors that can easily be integrated into the brighter palettes that are generally chosen for spring and summer fashion lines (following the theme of previous 'spring into winter' fashion transitions. So what I'm saying is, don't hide your florals, neons and jewel tones away where they won't get attention until March rolls around again...instead, purchase a couple of key neutral pieces that will tie together what you already own that put a new twist onto your wardrobe so you feel fabulous and new every time you step out the door!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">In order from top to bottom- A.L.C. leather jacket; Alice and Olivia pleated leather mini; Haute Hippie embellished mini; J Brand courduroys; Noir jewelry pave bracelet; Rachel Zoe panther print silk maxi dress; Raoul pleated trousers; En Shallah fringe bag in brown suede. All of the above including the photo credits can be found on one of my all time favorite shopping sites: www.shopbop.com</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">You might be thinking to yourself...ok so these are brilliant finds but mini's in the fall and winter? Yes ladies...find yourself an irreverent pair of stockings or knee highs in a deliciously warm wool blend (think black or nude) and pair them with a bright heel with a pop of unexpected color, and accessorize with a punky twist (see the Noir bracelet above) -you'll be well pleased every time you stop to check your reflect' :)</span></div>

Then this whole thing about dip-dye hair started and who knows? Maybe it's too fashionable right now to do much with it, but it sure looks purty and fun and easy to do. The best part? When you're done with it, just chop off the bottom few inches of hair, like you're gettin' a trim. No harm done. Here's some photos :<br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">These shots were taken outside on the walls of a car shop located on Pearcy St. in downtown Los Angeles just two days ago. Gorgeous, soulful colors!!! Garrett and I were on our way to the MOCA "Art in the Streets" exhibit, and I thought I would preface my next post (which will be filled with photos from said exhibit) with some art that was </span><i style="color: #38761d;">actually</i><span style="color: #38761d;"> in the streets...</span><i style="color: #38761d;">near</i><span style="color: #38761d;"> to the museum.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I was chillin in a parking lot about four or five months ago, waiting to preview our debuting line of jewelry to a yet-to-be-named store in Echo Park. Bored, and stuck outside waiting for them to open, I walked around and snapped these shots. The one above was taken on somewhat private property, but that's of no importance now. All that matters is the sheer awesomeness of this piece...and once again, the artist(s) is unknown. </div>Sofia and Kalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776044139312658885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6452410451179088975.post-552310484635905832011-07-16T22:26:00.000-07:002011-07-16T22:33:59.302-07:00Hollywood and Vine feels mighty fine.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtN5ZxR6bBk2JOOsgLdjs128g-tSBrYS-I0m_6x8wiZPav8TP-cxjA8VUvGgWkTyB5yreoBI9yYtHA1g3-mZL9Hc-eoVZkMP1hLB6YuhhBQA2YcLKUyk2WDeAuGZPze3dmuMFl_g39PFk/s1600/photo+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtN5ZxR6bBk2JOOsgLdjs128g-tSBrYS-I0m_6x8wiZPav8TP-cxjA8VUvGgWkTyB5yreoBI9yYtHA1g3-mZL9Hc-eoVZkMP1hLB6YuhhBQA2YcLKUyk2WDeAuGZPze3dmuMFl_g39PFk/s640/photo+1.JPG" width="476" /></a></div><br />

For instance, even the super bright Betsey Johnson frock (yes, its almost brain smashingly floral but work with me people) could be layered with a more demure blazer to add some pop to anyone's look once the sky begins to turn droll again. In order from top to bottom: Betsey Johnson Gorgeous Garden dress in floral chiffon, Gypsy 05 Summer Lovin frock in leopard, the Marc by Marc Jacobs Ozzie Square Baby Aiden Bag in purple leather, the Rebecca Minkoff Obsession Bag in snakeskin, and the Young Fabulous and Broke Sydney Ombre romper. (photos courtesy of www.shopbop.com, www.betseyjohnson.com and www.singer22.com) These pieces have a certain ease to them, like you could toss them on years later and they would still make a funky, fun contribution to your wardrobe.<br />

I was strolling around Echo Park, CA a couple of months ago when I spied these gorgeous works of art on the sides of various buildings/billboards. I am not certain of who any of the artist are exactly, so if you know, or you are them...or its just plain obvious to you in a way that I don't get, let me know! Haha!!! Big-up to whoever did these though.<br />

</div> Our hopes are that this blog will be in most ways a culture, arts, and fashionably inspirational blog so I'll leave you off with this quote by Minor White; give time for it to sink in:<br />
<br />
"No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen."<br />

I haven't seen it yet but when I do, I will definitely be dedicating another post to some introspection regarding these hip-hop masters of flow.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This here is a trailer for "Infamy", a documentary about some of the most prolific graffiti artists in the U.S. today. I posted this because I have had the Los Angeles MOCA exhibit "Art In The Streets" on my mind: the first comprehensive museum retrospective on the street art movement, ever. I have always been in love with the rebelliousness of street art as a medium, probably because...technically, it't not legal (which is juicy to me on a certain level), but mostly because it is free for anyone who wants to take it in and be transformed by it. It is an unrestrained, non academic, free flowing form of expression that doesn't need the stamp of a giant price tag to make it relevant or worthy of praise. And with that in mind, check out this flick...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Beautiful Losers" is another documentary that explores the underground art movement, but doesn't focus purely on street art like in "Infamy" seen above. The interviews are super candid and informative regarding how underground artists eventually gained a great deal of limelight- and revolutionized the world of print media and typography as we know it. It provides a real history to the movement of this particular segment of the art world, and I personally think it's one of the better art documentaries I have ever seen.</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;"><br />
