Tuesdays nights are Darlington nights baby! Semi Precious hosts a nice little intimate soirée at Perch lounge (Downtown LA) every week and I was lucky enough to accompany Stevy to one. What is it about rooftops that make them so magical?! I mean, I get it; nice AWESOME view, glass on glass railings, heat lamps - god I love heat lamps. So what to wear to such an equally magical event? Well, something to combat that nighttime breeze along with some cute Aussie shorts of course! I know this blouse looks like it belongs in Liberace's Museum and to be honest, I really don't have a problem with that. Flipping my frilly cuffs here and there so as to avoid dipping them into my drink was a taxing act that I secretly enjoyed. Wearing such a gaudy blouse, I said to myself that these footballer jock shorts would kick all signs of aristocracy out of the outfit. I've essentially got shoelaces embedded in my shorts - love it. 
Special belated BIG thanks to Brittany from Friend of Mine!

[ MMM x H&M candybar clutch, Zara heels, F21 sunnies ]

I've never lined up for previous H&M collections before but when I decided to this year, I never would've thought I'd meet such awesome people in the process. Seriously, the kindness of strangers can be so amazing. Okay enough sappy talk, onto the Margiela! The eponymous designer did his collaboration with H&M a little different than others by redesigning or re-editing his previous designs and making them more palatable to the everyday audience. Although, his flair for deconstructionism and the avant garde is still clearly seen throughout. I fell in love with the candybar clutch immediately and the fact that in his original display Margiela used it as a belt accessory (Exhibit A), I'm very tempted to apply this to mine as well. I bought another piece from the collection for Stevy but it shall remain a mystery for now. 

Much like Margiela himself.

Thanks & big love to Morgan, Nicole, Michael, Cecilia, & Chloe! See you at the next collab!

On our way to watch the new Paul Thomas Anderson film, The Master, and Stevy insisted to take advantage of this blue brick wall for some photographs. We wanted to catch an early viewing of the movie, which explains why I'm drinking my morning cup of tea out of a palm tree sippy cup. I'm an insistent bitch when it comes to that first cup. (English Breakfast, steeped 5 mins, dash of milk) So here I am wearing my candy striped mint tank and Barbie pink sunnies; cute accents of pastels that I juxtaposed with my tough, oversized Madonna jacket & shredded shorts. Oh, after the movie we had apple pie and discussed the transitions of Joaquin Phoenix. Odd fellow.

[ Elin Kling x Marciano 'Jonna' sweater  ]

My beautiful cropped sweater in all its plum gorgeousness that I bought hastily the other day. It was only after going home did I realize that the fit wasn't the best for my short stature so I've been forced to decide which other piece from the collection I should exchange it for. The sweater came in a dark chino colour as well as the plum but the latter colour seemed more regal to me. A pleasant surprise as well when the gifted transparent/chevron/trio clutch was in the same hue. 

Makes me feel like I'm on the same wavelength as the big guns at Guess; picking plum and all.
