Farewell 2010! This will probably be my last post of the year--I have a busy and fun-filled day ahead of me: a 21st birthday party for my friend Henry, a pig roast, the debut of an Elizabeth and James dress, sketchy public transportation, and of course the end of the year. Hope everyone is safe to ring in 2011! Thanks for everything, readers. I know this is redundant but I can't tel you guys enough how much I love you.

emotive

So I guess this girls name is Jacqueline Oloniceva, I've never seen her before but I think I have a new model obsession. There's just something so good about her, and I like that she's not repeating a blank stare in every shot. This is what's inspiring me today.

the barn

It was rainy in Southern California, and for some reason I was inspired to dress up anyway (I swear it was that editorial I posted earlier!) Thought I'd show you guys what I wore.
Jeffrey Campbell shoes, BDG jeans, UO top, ByCorpus sweater

watercolor

I've never heard of Lauren Withrow before but she's the one who took these photos and I'm inspired. The styling rocks too, the crazy excessive layers and the dressy with the casual. It's raining today which gives me an excuse to play dress up!

oystermag

Shannyn Sossamon for Oyster Magazine. I've never seen a copy of the print version of this magazine in person but would love to get my hands on a copy one day. I don't know much about shannyn but I like her.

exception to the rule

I am in love with the styling of this editorial. Can someone tell me who did it? The unfinished edges, the refined mixed with the unrefined, the random erogenous zones. You guys probably know that I don't really like posting editorials on grey backgrounds because they're usually pretty dull to me but, as always, there are exceptions. ALSO, on an unrelated note. I have been hunting everywhere for the first issue of The Gentlewoman Magazine. Anyone out there willing to sell me theirs? Or do a swap? E-mail me!

TBA

Found this lookbook for the label TBA on style bubble and couldn't resist reposting (I guess that happens a lot to me..). These are my perfect outfits compiled into one lookbook. Apparently you can get some of the stuff at Urban Outfitters, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

snow and breakfast

I really do love this time of year. The cold outside, the comfy and pretty sleepwear, the messy hair, and the late breakfasts. I don't think I'll ever really be ready to go back to school.

faces

I am finally finally finallllly connected to the Internet. I know, my internet addiction is a little bit of a problem. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I got a few things I will definitely be posting to the blog when I'm home. I'm currently blogging from Chicago O'Hare Airport eating a bagel and drinking fuji water. Wearing a grey cashmere sweater, jeans, and brown boots cause that's what's comfiest. Won't be home for a loooong time but can't wait to relax and catch up on the blogosphere when I'm finally back!

elsa

Not sure why she looks so sad but I find these so beautiful. Sorry for the scattered nature of my lasts few posts, they were very frantically scheduled from a hotel room.

wonderland

This is what I'm surrounded by. Happy Christmas eve everyone, hope you are enjoying the holidays wherever you are!

girl crush

Every time gala from am-lul posts something, my love for her grows. Major girlcrush happening. Also, I'm gonna be in the farmy farmlands of Wisconsin for the next few days and I doubt my internet will be very good...I'm gonna schedule some posts but there will be a definite slowdown till after Christmas. Love you guys! Seriously.

pocket full of sunshine

Sorry for the cheesy lyric post title, I'm all cold and dry (I had no idea that real midwestern cold actually dries everything up) and these happy photos are what I needed. Off to a hot tub, a glass of wine (if you haven't figured it out, I'm all about a good glass of wine), and CHOCOLATE. yum.

it's summer somewhere

Sometimes I post stuff that is totally seasonally inappropriate, but I'm never too torn up about it because there's another half of the world that is in summer right now! Hello Australia and the rest of the Southern Hemisphere! This ones for you.

lush

Ahhhhhhhh, what an exhausting day. I swear shopping is a sport. Looked at beautiful things all day and came home with a few beautiful things of my own for me and for some other peeps. No dresses though, I always have a hard time buying dresses in the winter...anyway I'm tired and delirious and am gonna drink wine and watch true blood! (how vampiric of me...)

my bag

I've always loved the idea of doing a post of what's in my bag. For some reason, I finally took the time to do it tonight!
1. Leopard bag by Nasty Gal
2. my huge knots of keys with Pokey key chain (I need my keys to take up a lot of room so I never lose them)
3. handmade flower bobby pin
4. mechanical pencil
5. burts bees
6. leather wallet from a thrift store in santa cruz
7. my fancy cell phone, the intensity 2
8. ipod & headphones
9. backup Revlon lipstick in blackberry
10.Zumbo Kiss shea butter lip balm
11. Ray-Bans
12. tide-to-go pen
13. extra bracelet just in case

This kind of makes me sound like a hoarder but you can see it's not that much! What are your guys' essentials?

thirty five thousand

For the first time in Pepper and Chips history (and for the first time in my life), I am blogging from an airplane that's a couple miles above the earth. I don't think wifi on planes will ever make sense to me but I'm just gonna roll with it.

deck the halls

I like these two paired together because there's something rustic and comfy and also a little bit of random sunshine. My own personal photo metaphor of Christmas in California.

baby it's cold outside

Saw these amazing shots of Crystal Renn and, like everything else on this blog, couldn't resist posting. It's finally cold and rainy and Christmasy here, and tomorrow I'm going to the midwest so I'm preparing for some brutal weather shifts. AKA, negative 8 degrees. AKA FREEZING. Wish me luck I'll see you on the flipside!
