This is an especially uncharacteristic Style Dispatch, inspired by the blue rainbow hair I had back in October – which is the chief reason I bought this incredible dress. I just couldn’t resist the Rorschach snakeskin pattern, the kaleidoscopic color combination, and the sheer back panel. And if one is going to wear color, one [...]
When I was thirteen, all I wanted to wear were baggy jeans, T-shirts and oversized hoodies, which – with my long light brown hair – left me looking like a long-lost member of Hanson. The main reasons being comfort and the aversion to the so-called male gaze, not to mention the fact that I didn’t [...]

Good morning, mein lieblings! I’m proud to present Half-light Beach – a very dreamy editorial I shot on Malibu sand this fall with Lydia Hudgens and Stephanie Inagaki. This might actually be my new favorite photo-shoot of all time. It’s live today exclusively on Haute Macabre, along with some very good news for those who [...]

Quick photo-documentation of last night’s outfit for you, which happens to be another good example of my everyday summer look. My friend Josh was playing at the Staples Center, so Courtney and I walked over from her place downtown – comfortable shoes were a must. COMPONENTS Black tank top – H&M White tank top – [...]

All styling, makeup and photos are by me This here is what you might call your standard Bad Bitch Outfit. Sex and violence together, ready to take on the city and take no shit while doing it. Short skirt, tight T-shirt, suspenders that double as slingshots, leather, boots comfortable enough to climb in, a sweet [...]

These two pieces are available for custom orders only, and at 189.00 and 149.00 CAD, you will agree this is one fabulous deal. And I don’t use the word “fabulous” in vain, ever. [...]

With my closet purged and organized, I’m reaping the benefits and letting go of my boots+leggings+oversize top+leather jacket uniform. Rediscovering my wardrobe is quite refreshing! I’ve found a respectable arsenal of skirts which I’ve been diligently putting into rotation. Lately, I’m especially feelin’ maxi-skirts. I’m 5’4, and have often read that short people should avoid [...]
Lat year, I declared war on Too Much Stuff, consisting of a vow to buy no clothing for the duration of 2010, leaving my apartment of ten years, and shedding tons of accumulated crap in the process. As far as the Spartan Resolution goes, it was… Fine, actually. I bought two pairs of shoes [which [...]
Colder days are here in SoCal, which means 60s and 70s F, which also means it’s safe to dust off hats, sweaters and my beloved arsenal of arm-warmers. This might sound hilarious to those of you living in four-season climates, but believe me, after ten years in LA you’d be spending your “winter” days wrapped [...]
This is an outfit I wore last week to a shoot. When I take pictures of girls, it generally involves a lot of time spent crawling around on the floor and getting into all sorts of bizarre positions to get just the angle I want. This means very casual, verging on hobo, dress code. I [...]
Last week, on the day I was leaving for San Francisco, photographer Lydia Hudgens reached out to me about shooting one of my Style Dispatches. Though my bags were already packed, I’d literally just seen and dug her photos of my friend Gala, so I agreed. Which reminds me! Photographers: if you’re in LA and [...]
On Saturday, hawtt shot photographer Lou O’Bedlam and I set out for the hills [a block or two away from his place] to find the perfect fence. We were on a mission to capture a couple of new items for the Coilhouse shop. I’d just gotten the hoodie the day before, and hadn’t had a [...]
There was an epic party last weekend that I’ll tall you about as soon as I have all the images, but for now here is an outfit! Almost entirely gray, it features what might be my least comfortable and most fun pair of boots. Crazy-busy attempting to paint in acrylics, so just it’s the photos [...]
This was initially meant to be a shoot for a long-overdue make up tutorial I promised Haute Macabre. However, when good friend and photo-sniper extraordinaire Lou O’Bedlam volunteered his services, we knew it had to be MORE. I’ve also been meaning to do these epic pants justice for quite a while. Mhmm. I acquired these [...]

The purpose of this Dispatch is, in addition to showing you what I think is a pretty cute Spring outfit, to prove that, despite my hideously massive clothing collection, I wear the same things all the time. All the more reason to stick to my Spartan Resolution, I say! Which reminds me, since Issue 05 [...]

This will be kept brief and image-heavy, as I’m in the midst of working on an illustration and wrangling an interview for Coilhouse 05, operating at half brain-speed because my blood is at least 50% spice lemonade thanks to the MC, sending off the last of the sticker orders, and standing on my ears while [...]

The first Style Dispatch of 2010 is a bit rushed, so I hope you will excuse this cross-post from Haute Macabre, A Spartan Resolution: I have decided that, having as much clothing as I do should preclude me from adding anything to my obese closets until next winter. That’s right, a whole year without shopping. [...]

I’m just going to stop apologizing for taking too long to post this or that. So what if it’s been two months since the last Style Dispatch? You’ll take it when you can get it and you will love it. YEAHH! Wait… Where are you going? I was just joking. Please, come back. I took [...]

As mentioned a while back, I decided to finally dress as Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell for Halloween. Last year I boycotted the holiday altogether so it was definitely time to do it up. In retrospect, I realize that this differs very little from the way I usually look; in fact, I owned [...]

Nothing like a bit of Rick Owens to make one growl “I’m Batman” from a rooftop. As I type this, the glass in my sliding doors sounds like it’s about to shatter into a million slivers and all the light bulbs are blinking in unison. Yes, the winds are back with a vengeance here in [...]
