This look is from my last day in LA when we did all of out touristy catch-up. If you only knew what kind of “rock climbing” I had to do in order to be able to get those last shots on the hill. I considered including some “climbing” pictures for variety but they are a little too ungraceful even for amusement purposes. When looking back on my last two trips to California, I can definitely attest to the claim that “California knows how to party.” I can’t wait to go back next month.

Silk Cello
Today’s look-of-the-day carries a musical theme, with an almost romantic air to it. After the Russian sauna, I went to a house party last night. It was being hosted by my brother, Taras and one of his friends – a professional cello player, Min. Wine, cheese, hookah, and heated debates on the topic of ‘free will vs. determinism’ made the party engaging and relaxing at the same time. The apple-pie and mojitos were also a nice touch. Good job guys…’Great Success’!!!
Does length matter?
Today’s look-of-the-day is once again predominantly silk and satin but it also brings us to a new topic. Today is my first time wearing this coat-dress by Noir primarily because of its length. Just out of curiosity I tried it on a few days ago with my Miu Miu skirt but after a quick glance in the mirror the “length theory” was confirmed. Length does matter when it comes to creating harmonious combination. If the skirt is substantially longer or shorter than the coat the effect is sloppy and unbalanced. The only exception is when it comes to mini skirts because they are in a category of their own. You can wear a tiny mini with a long trench and look seductive and playful. However, if the length of the skirt is neither here nor there and it looks as though it would line up with the coat if not for those “extra few inches” then I would wait until I had a match or alter one of the garments. This morning I was pleasantly surprised to discover that no only did the texture of the Religion dress compliment that of the dress-coat but their lengths were also a fit. The visual lines crated by the length of a garment greatly contribute to its silhouette and should not be regarded lightly.

Considering how late I’m posting this look-of-the-day that it’s more of a “look-of-the-night” than anything, but who is paying attention anyways… Better late than never right? I am kind of going through some shaky personal stuff at the moment so I was “preoccupied” during the day; my mind wasn’t on fashion or dress-up. But I still love both of those things and didn’t want to stray from our daily tradition. So here it is…
