The Electric Camel Drum ~ J Brand City Year



j brand city jeans-leopard blouse-army green jacket-black heels and bag, fashion blog, hair


What I'm Wearing
* J Brand City Year skinny leg in apache ~ courtesy of J Brand ~ Besides their luxe denim and their amazing fit {and they're LA based}, what I love about J Brand is their continued support and collaboration with different charities. 100% of net proceeds from these styles will benefit the efforts of City Year, a program which tutors and mentors kids to help them stay in school and set and reach goals. J Brand's goal is to sell 1000 jeans to help City Year.

* Army green Eddie Bauer jacket... found at a thrift store in perfect condition.
* Leyendecker tassel belt worn around the collar as a scarf {to tie in the black shoes}
* Vintage leopard print blouse... man I wear this a LOT!
* House of Harlow necklace worn around the collar
* Jean-Michel Cazabat black suede pumps from a GILT sale
* Jigsaw London woven leather bag

* Hair: I finally got it done! And she chopped off almost 4 inches!

* Title: lyrics from The Clash - Rock The Casbah

I was at the gallery late last Friday night at an event for a new Sam Francis Catalogue Raisonné release so I didn't get a chance to photograph my outfit in the elements. While occasionally I like the switch-up, I so prefer outdoor/natural daylight to indoor/night photos. They're just so much better, but life gets in the way of blogging every now and again and I just have to make due.

at the gallery

* love my Lichtenstein name tag though. Part of my job description : "make cute, art name tags for events"

Well if I have to be here (at the art gallery event all night) at least I have my tearfully sad (but awesome) Lichtenstein name tag (ps I made it)


In other event and book news: I've been invited to a star-studded Louboutin book release & signing tonight at Barneys NY {in LA} and I don't think I'm going to make it... boo. I did however, just receive my pre-ordered copy in the mail and it is AMAZING!

Amazing pants, amazing cause. As a pre-service teacher, I LOVE to hear this. Not to mention that they look great on you. May have missed this, but where is the gorgeous bag from?

Love how the jacket tones the look down, and gives it an edge! Leopard shirt is awesome! lucky you for that invitation, would love to take a look at that book, just by looking at the cover I can tell I'd love it!

I love that the jacket you picked is oversized - I find it a tough look to pull off on myself, but you really rock it! Also, that bag is delicious.
