LA FAB: Street Style
One cold windy Thursday morning I was waiting for a bus to go to the Fashion District (of course), when I saw this amazing lady painting these utility boxes at Wilshire/Western.
This kind of magic pops of beauty always make me absurdly happy. So I couldn't help myself, but chat her up. Thank you, Ann, for making my day. And for making our fabulous city even more breathtaking.

LA FAB: The Perfect Flats
Yay! Another fabulous find at the fabulous Fashion District
(FD)! Finally!
As you probably guessed,
I am generally NOT a flats girl. However, I have been converting ever since I
moved to LA, because I walk so much here.
Sadly, I have tried many many MANY different brands and styles of
un-heeled dressy shoes over the years – none fitted me correctly in one way or
another. But I was determined to find THE perfect pair. I stumbled upon these in one of the tiny
shops on Santee Street (not to be confused with Santee Alley).
I wore these flats at the FD today all day. No, I do not go
there too much. These shoes do not fall
off. They do not rub you wrong in any
places. No socks – and not a single
blister. Not a scratch. Not a single damaged toe. And of course, I can make it in them through the whole day at work.
Bonus: they come in so so SO many varieties with so so SO many beautiful embellishments – I thought I died and gone to heaven. Well, truth be told - I feel like that every time I go to the FD.

And the best part?
The super fantastic price of only $5! So naturally, I couldn’t keep it all to
myself. But please, ladies, don’t buy
them all – I need me at least one more pair – with the rhinestones. Well, and a pair of red ones. And a pair…
And…

Color of 2013: Emerald
Pantone color of 2013 is emerald.
"Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty
that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."
Even though emerald is my birth stone, you will never see me wearing anything green. Because I hate green. Yes, I know - hate is a strong word. But I definitely hate green. I detest green. I don't care how lively, how radiant, or how lush. I don't even want to touch anything green. There is nothing green in my life. Not even a teeny bottle of nail polish. Not even a Tupperware lid.

LA FAB: My Happy “birkin”
As you all know, I am undeniable, hopelessly, madly in love
with LA City. One of the things I love
the most about LA is the Fashion District.
You never know what you will dig up.
Here is my latest fabulous find – a “birkin” bag. ;D
.jpg)
And it is truly fabulous.
Oh the softest crocodile pleather! Oh the shoulder strap! Oh the
adorable padlock! Oh the dumbly useless tassel! Oh the Eiffel Towers on the
zipper pulls! Oh all the handy pockets! Oh the unbeatable price of $10! But
what makes me the happiest is the perfect orange color. Oh my happy “birkin”!

P.S. Did you notice that my happy bag looks just like the one Samantha had in Abu Dhabi in the "Sex and the City II" movie?

LA Strange: On Hooking Up II
On the way back from one of the usual trips to Glendale
Galleria, I made a mistake of stopping at VONS on Alvarado. Complete ghetto. Do NOT take a bus there!
By the meat cooler, “Hi, you are very beautiful.” Turning around to get a better look and to flash a smile, “Thank you”. Oh god, look away, look the other way, look any other way...
“I have a girlfriend, but can we still be friends?” Ummm, sure, whatever. Hand sigh. Still following me…
“My name is Johnny. So what’s your number?” Oh that’s ok. Keep on trying to walk away. Still following me.
“I have to go now, but can I text you?” “NO!!!” dropping the shopping basket and practically running out of the store. Cursing the shoes.
