Out-of-place modern home
I was with my parents near school on Culver and I spotted this crazy house. 
In a land of uniformity and strict laws, known as the Irvine Company, this is pretty wacky. What the heck is it? What prompted someone to do this? I don’t even remember seeing construction here. 
That is a waterfall. This looks like something I would build on Sims! So weird. I like houses like this…but the colors are a little weird and it’s too out-of-place. I’d like to see the interior.
I want this dress!
I didn’t want to lump this entry with the other fashion post because this is in another class. I saw this dress at South Coast Plaza and I fell in love with it instantly. Too bad the price is so high though!
So I tried it on because it’s free to try it on! I’m usually a size 4, but this fit a little loosely on me. Models are lucky because they get the dress tailored to them before they walk. I don’t have a tailor in the dressing room…
The two lines on the bodice are actually 2 black elastic straps that you have to stretch to the back of the dress and clasp them together. It took me awhile to figure that one out. I was like “uh…why are these stretchy bands just hanging down the front…is this couture?”
And a couple days after I drooled over this dress, I saw it in a magazine! My tastes are in good company.
The price tag: $500.
Fashion Art
I think I’ve talked about how I love fashion, but I’m too sensible to buy it, so I end up taking pictures of it? Well, here is what I’ve acquired lately…
I’m a fan of tokidoki, but not of their prices. Loehmann’s has finally received a shipment of these and they are sooo much cheaper. I think they are about 70 percent off. But…I still didn’t buy them. They’re only 17 bucks compared to like…44 bucks original price. I’m still thinking about it though. The sweater is $29.
These are really cute in person.
