GUESS WHERE URBAN OUTFITTERS IS GONNA STEAL ALL THEIR PRIVATE LABEL DESIGNS FROM
HERE'S A HINT
2010
I thought showing Holiday 09/10 was crazy but I guess its Spring 2010 in Australia. I'm not a big fan of bright colors but Australia seems to do it right. GINGER & SMART's kite-inspired line. So sick! More later.
Also, urban dictionary needs to be updated: twitterazzi is now the most used word in fashion press.
AU FASHION WEEK
It's fashion week in Australia and I am living vicariously through the internet! Hoping for some good updates from my fav Australian fashion blog Chic Report!
I also have a new Australian friend that goes home in 3 months to get me the hookups on ltd. ed Havianas and all that other good ozzie stuff! Thanks ah Belinda!
I'M ON A BOAT!
Well. No, I'm not, but that song is super funny. And my cousin just bought this one!
more pics here! Too bad he lives in Maryland.
Speaking of Maryland, congrats to Darrius Heyward-Bey who was drafted in the first round to the Raiders! More on the draft here. And more updates from the weekend on Kauai later!

PLAYDATE IN MY HOOD
Clearly, Perez doesn't know the haps over here in HI. Brandon got married at the Kahala Resort while Jared and Kanye collaborated on a track for the upcoming 30 Seconds album. Mr. West is still here in HK recording. I heard a manager at Cheesecake Factory brought him a plate of fish sticks....not cool bro.
BIANCA
Extreme versions of last year's gladiator are in. Get some.
Grungy, loose, low tanks are in. Cut your own. Or go Tri-Blend at American Apparel or Obey.
Denim can't get any more in so if you aren't wearing them yet, don't bother.
Headphones are the new..uhh....whatever, just get some. Check Nixon's Masterblaster, Skullcandy's Lowrider for great sound and fun colors, and Beats by Dr. Dre if you're real serious.

VA Sport Short in Black.
The Pony Plaid is by far my favorite piece in the line. This is the designer and this is how you style it.

CATCH UP
It's catch up on the blog day. April has been crazy, starting with my best friend visiting from LA. We took a total of 0 pictures to document the fun. But I managed to snap a few in LA shortly after....
A beautiful day in Hollywood.
Bamboozle Left in Irvine was pretty fun. The Get Up Kids and Fall Out Boy played back to back to close the first night. Very different performances but both really great. The stages were set outside in the parking lot of a waterpark or something, which usually makes for a too-loud and extremely disconnected performance, but the GUK set was as intimate as their old shows in small clubs. This was the best kept secret of the weekend. To a crowd full of mellow industry people, other bands, and old school fans, the GUK set was a nostalgic and real moment in a weekend of dance pop, flourescent merch, and Wonka candy. It was a lot cooler than this picture may lead you to believe.
Oh yeah, and it was my birthday.

HI STYLE TRIATHLON
Also this weekend, Kahala Sportswear is hosting the first annual KAHALA CHALLENGE at Lanikai. Run/Swim/Paddle...sickest triathlon ever. I wish I was going to be on Oahu. Check out Krishna Chatterjee at the Kahala Sportswear store in Ala Moana Shopping Center (Nordstrom Wing) for more info or to volunteer and score some free Vertra and a microfiber tech tee since turnout was so good and registration is closed.
Be sure to cheer on this guy if you see him!

So the burning question on every stranger's mind will finally be answered. Yes, I am getting my arm filled in.
UH FASHION SHOW
It's UH senior fashion show time again. Here's a dress from underdog designer JU PARK. I am so so soooo stoked to see her collection.
THE PROBLEM WITH BLOGGING
is that you need something to say. Before, I needed an outlet for the things in my head. Now that there's this mental downtime in life, I've been a little out of touch with my blog. After a few posts of event announcements, I realize that no one reads this and that it is for myself more than anything. For mindless bs, twitter.com/_jessss.
Normal day. Nothin to say.
