Out and About in Hollywood

I did some traipsing around Hollywood and Highland today. It’s steps away from Mann’s Chinese Theatre and a block away from Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. This block on Hollywood Boulevard is a veritable tourist magnet. The fashion that I spotted there was everyday casual clothing. Nothing inspiring or avante garde.

I spotted a lot of logos – on sunglasses and handbags – and bra straps peeking out of halter tees.

The girl in pink had a white scarf on her neck. I thought it was cute. Maybe she had a sore throat.

Ordinary khakis and jean jacket. Little girl in a babydoll top and boot cut jeans.

And dare I say this? I also spotted lots of fake boobs. I guess it’s nothing new in L.A. but it’s certainly something that I’ve become more aware of lately. But like I said, nothing fashion forward here. Those that I spotted in Santa Monica a few weeks ago were more interesting so much so that I would look and admire and forget to take a photo. Much of that is also probably because I’m still too shy to ask for a photo. By the way, I added Street Style Blog links on the sidebar. Check them out. Very interesting.

I also stopped by Gap to check out their customized T-Shirt Event.

The place was dead. They had greeters with trays of popcorn at the door. But there were hardly any people walking in on a Saturday afternoon in a store located in a very busy, touristy corner in L.A. Where did Gap’s customers go? Anyhow, I’m not into screen printed tees so I didn’t buy any. I was more interested in seeing activity in the store as I haven’t been there in awhile.

Here’s a photo of me in front of a Banana Republic store window. I was wearing a black and white poppy Paul and Joe top, a thick black patent belt from Aldo, trouser style shorts from Zara and peep toe patent wedge shoes from Mossimo and a black Chloe Silverado handbag.

Maybe next week I’ll have something better to report when Cusp opens. Until next time!
