The clothing brand DESIGUAL born in 1984 and its core values are positivism, tolerance, innovation and fun. The colors, design, illustration and your own style, made it a unique and exclusive brand to creative people who loves the good side of life. His pieces are colorful, bold and truly unique.
This is my Desigual coat, was the most expensive purchase that I made in my whole life but I am happy with it because it´s different, when I used I can´t find anyone with something like that (except the fakes). And I'm glad to know that I start to give more value to the quality and sophistication of what I wear.

There are situations in our lives that make us think about it but in the end we always learn a lesson.

"In the end all the effort worth"

Hello girls, everything is okay? Today I leave you with a simple outfit, is a style that I use when I go to work. Kiss*
Pants - Zara, Top - H &M; Shoes - Stradivarius
 




I saw some floral trousers the other day at The Salvation Army and now regret that I didn't pick them up. Good grief (or Argh!).




One of everything, please. No, wait. Two of everything, just in case. Alright, alright, three of everything! One to go out in, one to eat in, and one to sleep in. 
 



So I got this dress. And when I got it it resembled a giant wadded up used kleenex, sorry, but it did. I did not even bother to unfurl it's crinkled and bunched up-ness, I just took it straight to the dry cleaner. I picked it up yesterday and it exceeded all my expectations. I was smitten. I AM smitten. And here's the sad news. She doesn't fit me. SO, I could have it tailored, which I may, or I could just sell her. But it's too hard to decide. I cannot part with her yet...this dress looks like an iced cupcake. For now it/she will live on my dress form whereupon I see her the minute I wake up. Will I keep or sell her, her fate is yet to be decided...

And to balance her, I am wearing a pretty lackluster and totally casual outfit because all I had to do yesterday was pick her up, have lunch with my brother and go to the post office. And all the things I am wearing are thrifted, every one, big surprise.
 






 




 



 



 




 
So I have been posting these little outfit collections on my Facebook page for Dear Golden, calling them "Maybe an Outfit" and I felt like maybe I should also put them on my blog. They are real fun to do, sort of like paper dolls or dressing up a barbie. Or like Polyvore, but all from my shop!
 



I love cream and black together, I love piles of vintage shoes laying around, I love droopy silk blouses, I love cast iron garment racks, I love fireplaces...and on and on.
 

 
 
 




Actually it's also somewhere between winter and spring, this Thakoon collection. And I love love love it. I especially love the belted coats that aren't belted coats. What it does is render all those vintage coats without closures I see completely fashion relevant today. Short ones and long one. And even those vintage 1950s sweaters without closures (buttons, etc). I have a 1950s linen duster in the shop that I think I am going to have to "buy" from myself as it certainly fits in this vibe.

FASHION ART (PART 3)




  • My PHOENIX maxidress: $15 buffalo exchange. Once again, late on the bandwagon, but I've recently discovered the joys of maxi-dresses. I feel like a goddess. HAHA
  • Zipper necklace: $1 venice beach, i love this thing too bad you can't see it.
So I was randomly at Venice Beach walking around in this and one of the street artists yelled at me. "Girl in the fire dress!" I turn around to see a semi-clean bum/artist. "I like you're dress! It looks like my paintings. Come look!" I give him a thumbs up. I like encouraging artists to do what they're passionate about.

This pass weekend has been simply awesome. Starting Thursday, it not only meant the beginning of a weekend but I got to meet Joyce Azria and Lubov Azria the creative directors of BCBGeneration and BCBG! Super exciting. I got free dresses while I was at it and snapped by thecobrasnake.

The weekend was even more exciting as my roomies and I went off to Las Vegas to celebrate the the baby roomie's 21st birthday!

The clubs were so nice even though expensive. I realize the advantages of being a girl now. I'm not so sure if I really want to be a man anymore. I'm way too cheap to go that route. Which is a shame because I'm sure I would make a terrific man.

I got to wear my fancy dresses and dazzle (hehe, just for you dazzle!) it up with sparkly makeup. The thing I love about Vegas is that you can really go all out when dressing up because seriously, people don't really care.

I did gamble. I lost $2 and I was very heartbroken. I could have found a neatest vintage dress with that 2 bucks but now it's gone forever in the money pits of Caesar's Palace.





It's surreal to be back. In general, vegas is such a surreal place. I've been to Paris, Rome, New York all in one night. Plus an igloo as I felt myself being the real life Eskimo at the Icebar.

So it's back to school. Lately I've been loving big hair. Witness my moments of self-obsession with these webcam pics. So MySpace no?















I recently got really into Japanese Fashion magazines thanks to my dazzle and I saw this super awesome hairstyle that I just loved loved loved on Tomotomo that I had to try copying it. Basically I want to be like Hermione Granger to the extreme and asian. I've been trying to curl my hair and then tease it to get the poof but it never lasts the way I want it to look past five minutes. How sad.






I should read now. So distracted by online shopping and misadventures.














  • t-shirt dress: $6, LF Warehouse sale
  • thick sock tights: 2 euros, Milan
  • green pea coat: mom didn't want it.
  • my new favorite boots: $35, LF warehouse sale
  • Pashmina: 5 euros, Milan
  • Belt: funk master-t's mom didn't want it.
  • Bag: friend didn't want it.
  • Floral ears: $3, F21
  • Blue eyes: 300 RMB, Dalian-China
  • Going to the bathroom: 25 cents.


The clothes at Sophistix are a mix of trendy and classic. Perhaps trendy + classic = sophisticated? Fashion and math should merge someday and then I can be the ultimate fashion nerd. I went back to the site to look at some of their newer merchandise. Not everything on the site is particularly my style but I sifting through the images I've found delightful number of pieces that would be a great addition to my (your) wardrobe. Actually, lets stick with your wardrobe because my wardrobe is like a damaged liver to an alcoholic. Too much clothes reside in my wardrobe at the moment that I finally have to admit that I, Lala, do indeed have a shopping problem.

Camille Blouse - $17.14
Although summer time isn't quite here yet (the weather in socal right now however likes to trick us into thinking it is), this top would be such a lovely addition to match things with - tucked in with a skirt or paired with some denim shorts and a nice floppy hat. Take me to the beach now!!!

Zip-Front Tulip Dress - $27.85
I also love this dress because a) I like zippers and b) I like animal prints. The silhouette is very cute and this dress can is very versatile for all seasons.
