Recently I've been coveting turtlenecks, nubby knits and blanket scarfs. Theory standing that a scarf large enough to wrap around and around until it's covering your ear lobes, can double as earmuffs, hat, and/or neck brace. The only fault with this is that it makes talking on the phone annoyingly difficult as you have to do this funny thing where you press the scarf down so it rolls up under your chin, and about every other word it starts scrunching up into your mouth. Any who, earlier this week I wore a turtleneck AND a scarf (that I have used as a blanket) together - injunction with a leather jacket, pants etc. Some snarky bystander on West Houston told me I needed a winter coat, but in all actuality I wasn't cold at all. When you're cloaked in all of your favorite things - how cold can you really be?

 Don't you feel warmer already?

Grimes, Local Natives, Passion Pit... Lets all just play along and pretend I have Coachella passes. 

We'll pretend I'll be hittin' up Indio, CA in t-mius seven days, and will hopefully return a few shades darker than my current 50 shades of pale. 

 SO, what am I going to wear?

Uniqlo Paper floppy Hat, Denim & Supply Paisley Bandana Dress,  ASOS Backpack, ASOS 'Pretty Tough' Necklace, Zara Ethnic Vamp Shoe, Mother Of Pearl Decoy Flowers Top, MSGM Geometric Skirt, Zara Minnie Tee (Hello, Minnie's all about Coachella), Le Specs 'Badman' Sunglasses, 3.1 Philip Lim Ripped Skinny Jeans, Zara Linen Tee, Loop for Andy Warhol bag, Zara Closed toe Strappy sandals (still loving these) 

If you ever found yourself wondering, "Why bother reading this, when there's actual fashion websites reporting from inside the shows, rather than outside..." well let me tell you, I can bring you inside the Fall 2013 Tibi show BEFORE Style.com. Which I'll admit, even I find a bit absurd.

Granted my pictures may not be of professional quality but hey, you have to improvise when your camera starts doing this right when the show starts... 

Front Row at Tibi.

The show overall was phenomenal. From bright blue and green neoprene jackets and blazers, to causal cool black and white knits, I found myself loving every bit of it. This blurry blue leopard pony hair pullover and skirt were among my favorites.

 While I am aware my pictures are blurs-galore, the attendees next to me also were complaining that the models were racing down the runway, so it was not just me. These were also all shot on my iPhone due to my unexpected camera issues.

Also major shout out to Uniqlo Heat-Tech.

Update: Style.com now has the Tibi show.

Days like today are my favorite days. Days where it's mildly cold, cold enough for one to dress like its cold, but not actually cold enough for functional layers, jackets and/or gloves.  Days where the sun is shining brightly, not yet overcome by the dreary winter weather. And also, days where you're wearing new things, because I feel happier and brighter, like I can conquer anything while wearing something new. Sad, but true.
