CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS


Vintage jacket, shirt, and boots, Cheap Monday jeans

It seems like I've opened every blog post in recent history by apologizing for my lack of posting and overall absence of internet presense, and this post will be no exception. I'm sorry! Working retail to save for college eats up inordinate amounts of time during the holiday season, and when I'm not at work I've been out with friends. It has been a seasonal roller coaster of boredom and pleasure. But I did manage to find some time this week to stop by one of my favorite vintage stores, Out of Vogue, and pick up this cool vintage nylon jacket.





It's been raining non-stop here lately, so it was a good time to come across it. I put together this outfit inspired by California wintertime rain storms and the irony of wearing a tropical shirt in the thick of them.


Y-3, Elvis, Palm Trees, Henri Rousseau, back issues of Arena Homme +, the way a red light looks reflected off the wet concrete...



Happy Holidays everyone! Here's a picture I snapped with my phone of some cool stuff I got...



Thanks for stopping by - posting should return to normal after my life returns to normal as it slowly slides into 2011.
