I’m back in school now (among palm trees), learning about the parol evidence rule and indemnification actions – titillating stuff 
. These shots were taken in my parent’s backyard during the sweet days of my break. I packed very little with me on my trip home, so I had to put this look together out of some random items found around the house. I call this my “Strictly Bloggy Look.”

The day after I got back from Vegas, I had just enough time to repack my suitcases to catch a flight to Toronto. I found Toronto exactly as I had expected – completely covered in snow, in a state of a beautiful, urban, winter wonderland. Actually, pretty much everything else about my trip home was free of surprises. It was just as relaxing and pleasant as I had hoped. It was so nice waking up to the smell of my mom baking and my dad making coffee. There are so many little things I miss being in California without them.
Double Take
I was called in to work on Tuesday to do photo-doubling for Naomi Watts. For those of you who are not familiar with what that would entail, the idea is basically to make me look as similar to the actress as possible. For example, in the event that there wasn’t enough time to shoot wide shots of a scene or they need close up on hands or legs, they call me. While in hair/make-up truck, the only major change was the wig and the wild lipstick. As you can see in the pictures, Naomi’s costume was relatively simple; black skinny pants and a pink cashmere turtleneck. I’m not sure if I would ever wear these pieces in this combination because, quite honestly, it’s a little boring and banal – not an unusual way of describing the work of the wardrobe departments on set.
Patent It!
I really patented-it-up for this look-of-the-day. I’ve been waiting to wear this jacket for a while now and today’s decent weather finally permitted the materialization of my modest desire. I generally love large, high collars and I especially appreciate well-constructed ones that stay up as intended. The texture of the patent leather allows the collar on this jacket to stay in place regardless of how high you want it. I paired it with high, patent leather gloves, as I had done in the Gloves video. Once I decided to complete the look with the patent, Pierre Hardy boots, I kept the rest of the garments simple. The shine of patent leather was enough of a statement in itself so I went with a plain sweater and jeans to balance out the glam. That is basically all there’s to my ‘patent’ story 
.
