Here are some of the images that have been littering my desktop this past month.

I hope they inspire you as much as they inspired me.

deciphering denim

Thursday. The summer before last was all about the high waisted bell bottom jean,

and I was in paradise, as they are my absolute favorite. As the season came to an end I

watched as the sexy high waist fell by the wayside. An era of the "boyfriend" jean

took over shortly after, and yes I did participate. And now we're all going crazy for the denim

legging--which I have worn religiously since a trip to Topshop in May left me with three pairs.

But there is something about returning to that one style that felt the most like you. (Of course

I still love this style, but they are so hard to find now, and the few pairs from that summer are

faded and torn. I seriously need to step up my thrifting efforts) I especially love the pair of

Made in Heaven brand above-- the wash, the cut, the rise, perfect! The label is straight from

the 1970's--and they have left the fits almost exactly the same! I got the chance to meet and

talk with the designer, Chloe Lonsdale, that same summer as the high waisted craze, and she

really is the sweetest brit in the sweetest jeans.

Tuesday. I had a field day blowing my (very much appreciated) holiday cash at a slew of after Christmas sales last week, and I finally bought a new pair of black boots. I have been hunting for a pair of over-the-knee boots since September, and I am so glad I waited until I found a pair I love. It couldn't have come at a better time, as the holes on the back of my everyday pair of boots have been getting increasingly larger in the past few months. I am so ridiculously hard on my shoes--I wear them until they literally fall apart. In the past I've used sharpies and masking tape to fix up a pair of fallen ankle boots--and some have been re-heeled due to extreme wear. I am super particular about my shoes, and I can rarely find a pair that fit properly, so I was thrilled when I found these. I have only made one or two purchases at BCBG Max Azria before this--but I think I'll carry on the tradition. Super comfy and super discounted.

I know I am missing a head in the photo above--but who needs a head when you have a great pair of boots?

2010

2010. I guess it is a good thing when you end up with few solo pictures after a new years eve celebration. Being too busy posing with a wonderful boyfriend and amazing girlfriends is truly a blessing in every way--except for this blog. I'd trade a fun night for an outfit shot any day.

With that being said, I admit I have always struggled with putting photos of others on my blog, I would like too, but I think it turns in into something less personal, and more facebook-ish. So one picture will have to do for today.

I can't believe it is already 2010, it's very sci-fi. One of the reasons I started this blog is for this exact reason. Time flys by so quickly, and it is nice to sit down and create something that will live as a fingerprint of my interests. Having anyone actually read it is incredibly flattering, and is the icing on my favorite gourmet cupcake. It is a way to document my life through pictures and writing, and to reflect on fashion and living in Los Angeles. I have a feeling that 2010 will be a fabulous year, and I can't wait to see what will happen with this blog. I don't have a goal for it in any sense, I'm going to let it turn into what ever works for me.

Regarding my new years eve--the color purple seems to be working it's way into my wardrobe more and more lately, and it has brought a much needed jolt to my regular lineup of neutrals. I am terrribly sick of all my black pencil skirts, and so shorts felt refreshing for nye.

Here is to a fabulous new year!
