Spring has arrived in LA and I spent it soaking up some serious sun and a couple sample sales with Sean (who took these photos!). I wore my Jessica Simpson Dany platforms (aka Charles Anastase/Natacha Marro knock-offs) and I’m so on board with all the blogger-love, they’re pretty great – though the originals are better. I didn’t want them in black or tan (and hated the silver), but I got the tan because I knew they would be easy to dye. So I’m taking them to my shoe guy later this week to have them dyed a deep maroon color.

First, we hit Society for Rational Dress, which was tame and organized, and I finally got to check out their beautiful space. I’m obsessed with the straight-jacket chairs (which would be a great home DIY/belt display), and they have the BEST mirror in the fitting area – you know the kind: big, perfect lighting and makes everyone look their best. Not quite sure how I ended up buying a massive winter sweater in this kind of weather (excess Vitamin D makes me loopy) but it was a good deal and has amazing bell sleeves. Odds are I won’t get to wear it til next year… but I also got some leather fringe spat thingies that I will be wearing sooner than later.

Afterwards, we hit up the Grey Ant farewell/moving sale. The brand has been an LA staple for quite some time, but they’re moving operations to NY where they were selected for the CFDA’s new Incubator project. The sale was hyper and crazed and I wouldn’t have expected it any other way.  Clothes were flying, and the prices were unbeatable – everything under $20, and most around $5. My heart sank since there were no Status Shades, which I’ve wanted for a while, but luckily I was one of the firsts through the door, so I still left with an armload of cute spring/summer stuff for like $60. More soon.

Oh, and I find out about most of these sweet sample sales from SSLA and/or Refinery 29!
