Fly Girl | Hello Kitty Con







What's not fly about Hello Kitty?
The first Hello Kitty Con took place at the The Geffen Contemporary 
at MOCA in Downtown LA's Little Tokyo, and it was everything I dreamed of 
and more!! It brought back so many found memories of my childhood; walking 
into Sanrio, taking forever to choose what I wanted to buy (I wanted everything), getting that cute bag with the charm on it and a stamp on my card. Priceless memories. Like I say, "You're NEVER too old to love Hello Kitty!" (and friends).

Shout out to Adapt. We got mad love for the Hiero Kitty tee.

Happy 40th Birthday Hello Kitty!

Copped that Jason Markk x Hello Kitty shoe cleaning kit collab. Love.

Rare but due to the unusual circumstances we decided to post

called the Bay Area home sweet home. 
Rest in peace Robin Williams.

Angelina Jolie

Her simple and classic style,
her humanitarian efforts and her devotion to her six children
along with her successful career in acting, directing, and writing...
she shows us that balance is the key to happiness.

We're especially excited to see the Academy Award winning actress'
performance in “Maleficent” and her portrayal as the “Mistress of All Evil”.

Why?

"Because good girls go to heaven.
Bad girls go everywhere."

Fly Girl | Street Smarts

Besides genuinely having street smarts
it's also about looking the part.

How I get that edge:
Vanessa Mooney Ghost Town Necklace
Miu Miu Round Shades
Nixon Watch
Giles & Brother Skinny Railroad Spike Cuff
Luv AJ Rings & Ear Cuff
Opal Stud Earrings

And if those don't work, there's always mace, ha!
