In the immortal words of James Franco, Spring Break forever! It’s a phrase I’m planning on yodelling obnoxiously on loop for the next week, as I head towards a very big, very messy, but nonetheless very glamorous, girl’s holiday to LA and Vegas. (Note: perhaps not quite as messy as a dear friend of mine’s trip there with her best friend and parents a few years back. Her dad stumbled out of a poker game at 5am to find her and her mate en route to the chapel to marry two Irish Lords. She swears blind she remembers nothing, but her dad said she saw him and yelled: “Daddy!! You’re coming to the ceremony!!”). Having only just got my first tattoo, I’m clearly rebelling late in life, so who knows – perhaps I’ll end up an annulment statistic too. Here’s hoping.
Anyway, back to the clothes… it just wouldn’t be cricket to jet off somewhere like Hollywood without completely rethinking your wardrobe for the occasion. Do I do silver screen glamour? American Hustle? Sunset strip hair metal? Clueless Valley girl? Or California girl lo-fi; lots of denim cut-offs, layered jewellery and 90s crop tops? There’s something about running around LA looking like I’m in a Wildfox campaign that really appeals to me – something that my new favourite website Avenue 32 has served up pretty damn well. They’ve really cornered the market on cool, young, contemporary brands which are flying somewhere between under the radar and about to make it big. And alongside all the Alexander Lewises and Alexis Barrells they also stock people like Roksanda Ilincic and 3.1 Phillip Lim. A dreamy combination, right?
So here we go, a little sneak peek into my (semi-dream) LA/ Vegas wardrobe. I’ve been banging on about that zebra hide towel for ages (brilliantly Joan Collins) so I think I’d better just get it and have bloody done with it.
