What is it with Californians, that makes them all wear winter boots? Even the Brit girl picked that habit..


Thanks for all the pics :flower:
 
I love how the girl in Post #282 is wearing the Vivienne Westwood Pirate boots! Thats why I want them!
 
I work on the Third Street Promenade and I dont see that many cool dressed people. Kudos on whoever took these!
 
When were the Promenade pics taken? Im always there and would love to be in the mix! lol
 
lol yeah, its been a WHILE since we've gotten some pics

New York is putting us to shame...:innocent:. lol
 
I work on the Promenade too at Zara and I see a lot of gorgeous outfits but they're always being worn by people visiting from Europe... Always.
 
^ Well.. I would say that the majority of people in LA are a bit lazier on fashion.. hence, not having the "gorgeous" outfits, at least not out to shop in the more touristy areas. That's how I see it - if you're in a warm weather climate nearly year-round in the US, the overall style of that area is a bit more relaxed.

Not saying it's right, or that it's an excuse - but it's how I feel about LA and it's "style"
