Fall Inspirations

Nudes and Brights ala Marc Jacobs

Always a sucker for pouffy skirts and tights. Perfect for school days..

My new obsession over the knee killer boots

Reinventing my summer clothes by wearing fur over and tights under.

And for days I have to spend with practical adults..HA!

Polly Rae

Burlesque dancer Polly Rae has something very endearing about her. Her performances are usually light and comedic a sort of cabernet burlesque versus to Dita's always va va voom and mysterious numbers. Every burlesque dancer usually have their own style but no one has made it big as Dita has every since the great Sally Rand of 1930 to 40's. But that doesn't mean that performers like Polly Rae is less amazing in fact she had an amazing show at Leicester Square Theatre early this month. So it makes me so giddy to discover that the underground world of Burlesque is slowly making its way in to main stream market but I'm fearful that the originality of it might get tainted. Anyhow, check out the quirky and adorable performance of Polly Rae and the Hurly Burly girls performing "Lovin' Spree".

Sui arriving at the House of Target

I am a big big fan of Anna Sui. Although glam style is always what I desire in my life, my personal style is always going to be a bit of a boho chic I just think that it suits me well more than anything, and this is how Anna Sui enters my life. I can't afford pieces from her house that is why I am so excited about the line she's created for Target (launch 9/13-10/17). I am a bit disappointed of the Gossip Girl inspiration but I am envisioning the deconstruction of the ensembles and mixing it up to what is already in my closet..

Alice in Wonderland

I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland ever since I first saw it as a little kid. I remember being so freaked out by it that I deliberately avoided the film every time someone mentioned it. It's not that I didn't like it but the feeling of lost, and uncertainty still lingers in my veins and that bunny with the clock just haunts me to this day. But I think it's time for me to face my fear and watch the new version of Alice in Wonderland. It looks very cool and ofcourse being a big fan of Johnny Depp gives me the courage to face the ticking clock and the Mad Hatter.

Dita in Avalon LA

Le Bain

I am lucky this year as I got to see her perform twice in Seattle back in April and just last week in LA. Her show is special to me as she performs her Crazy Horse act Le Bain (This video) for the first time in LA. The highlight of the show is the debut of her most wonderful, most flawless, most ferocious act Opium Den - in which she comes out of a giant Opium Den dressed in Kimono glazed in the most sparkling crystals I've ever seen in my life!! Truly a magnificent act.
