Once upon a time some bloggers were going to have a yard sale. That weekend it rained in usually-sunny-LA and that yard sale was postponed. A year and 1 baby later (not mine, Alicia’s) that yard sale was re-scheduled. You came, you hung out, you shopped, you saved some money while helping us clean our closets and we all lived happily ever after.
Long story short: YARD SALE. TOMORROW. ECHO PARK. YOU COME. YOU BUY. ME HAPPY.
I have some pretty stylish friends with some pretty messy closets, come help us purge. Or at least come say hi. There will be some designer stuff, some not designer stuff, some vintage, a desk I bought that is too big for my studio, some shoes, a baby (not for sale) and general good vibes… and more. Outside of Jayne, Alicia, Natalie, Nia and myself, I have a few other (coughstylistcough) friends dropping off gear and we’re also hosting a BROOK&LYN sample sale (not to be confused with Brooklyn, this yard sale is in L.A.)… Don’t miss this one.
YARD SALE
THIS Saturday (tomorrow) 12/17/11
8am – 2pm
Keystone Row
1154 Glendale Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90026

This holiday thing creeps up quicker and quicker every year. I think we should make this an every-other-year kind of affair… anyone with me? That said, every holiday is an excuse for new duds and this one’s no exception. While as a freelancer I don’t get invited to many holiday parties (which I’m sooo fine with), this is probably what I’d wear to one. And how I’ve gotten by this long with the name “Jazzi” without owning a sequin blazer is beyond me.

in the Spare Room photobooth with my better half, Natalie. A night to remember with Thom Yorke and a RT from Erykah Badu.
Hello. These re-introductory posts give me anxiety. If I must explain my absence (says me), I was just taking a moment to live a life less posted and if I’m being honest (which I always try) I’ve been learning to want to live again. I’m a work in progress, but with the love and support I’ve been shown lately (thank you), I’m in a better place to get things done. With that said, I’m actually not that sad anymore: I’m having real fun again, the creative juices are flowing, blogging doesn’t feel like a chore, life itself doesn’t feel like a chore and I’m finally ready to talk about it! My psychologist would call this progress. She also equated my aversion to [things in my life, this blog included] to a fear of flying; it gets harder and harder the more you psych yourself out and avoid it, but easier with consistency. I think she’s right.
I’ve never hidden that I live with clinical depression, but I did stop talking about it here at some point and I’m not sure if that helped anything. I do know that on a human level you can all relate, so you’ll be seeing a far more candid me (which is not just consumed by emo rants) smushed alongside some pretty pictures and shoes and stuff, too. If I include the non-fashion stuff, you’ll get way more context, content and fewer blog-lapses. This way, I’ll be happier and maybe I can help you find your way through a tough time or two as well.
I love you.

Fall 2011 Equipment Adrien dress blouse in Lime Punch (available here); Ksubi Spring 2012 leopard collar detail; Shackuhachi white leather mini dress
I recently had the pleasure of joining Marcus Troy in Las Vegas for the PROJECT tradeshow. This was exciting because 1) I’m an avid poker player, 2) Marcus is the man and 3) I got to hop from booth to booth of some of my favorite brands including the above.
These are just a few standout must-buy items I managed to snap before my camera crapped out. I’m thisclose to placing an order for the above Equipment blouse. It’s really not often you find highlighter colors in silhouettes that are wearable outside of a club or lazer-tag party, which makes this dress/blouse perfect. Equipment has the perfect blouses in ever single color imaginable and one day I plan to collect them all. I wasn’t allowed to snap a picture, but trust me you will die over some of their upcoming offerings (think: jewel encrusted collars on a washed silk blouse).
Some other highlights of the show included:
New colorways in House of Harlow’s Chelsea cat eye shades, Bijules’ everything (love that lady!), Bliss Lau’s new rings and the BOtB (Belle of the Brawl) line from Hellz Bellz… and shout out to the Hearty mag girls who were there too and got some great coverage of the show!
In personal news, well, I’m single again for the first time in years and – now that I’ve come through that whole heartbreak stage – I’m really excited about it! As most ladies who’ve gone through a big-time breakup know: after the rain comes sunshine, rainbows, new clothes (lots), soon enough new hair (chop chop)… and of course some new adventures in dating. Oh boy(s)!
