Tom Binns "Get Real"

2010-04-12T12:44:00.001-07:00

Just a reminder of how great Tom Binns is...

These are pieces from a collection he released last year titled "Get Real"... the amazing thing is that they are far from real. They are in fact a collection of pieces crafted from laminated collage pictures of jewelry from magazines!!!! He never ceases to amaze me!!!!

amazing editorial

2010-04-08T01:43:00.001-07:00

125 Magazine never disappoints with their amazing editorials. It's one magazine that still looks at fashion from an artistic standpoint and isn't completely overrun by advertisements... I love it!

This story is from the USA issue which is currently out right now... I believe it's issue #15. In this story each of the looks were inspired by a different landscape. You can check out the entire issue and even buy prints from the different stories @ www.125magazine.com

Enjoy!!!!

More reasons to love Chanel

2010-04-07T17:05:00.000-07:00

There is something about Chanel that is so classically feminine yet funky.... it never disapoints. Here some selections from the spring, summer and cruise collections that I'm certain are destined to belong in my closet :)

Something Fabulous!

2010-04-07T16:32:00.000-07:00

So every now and then I see something that really brings something new to the table, and this bag does it! I love that it's different than anything else I've ever seen, and yet it still translates as a versatile handbag.... classic and trendy all at the same time.

Here's the description from www.net-a-porter.com

"Wooden paneled accordion-style clutch bag with gold-tone hardware. Stella McCartney clutch has a long chain shoulder strap, antique-rose satin at hinges, removable antique-rose satin pouch bag with gold-tone zip fastening and internal pouch pocket, ball detail at hinges and a brown and gold-tone designer-stamped disc at side."

Tom Binns!!!!!!!

2010-03-20T11:56:00.000-07:00

So my love affair with Tom Binns continues! If I could seriously post pictures of his jewelry every day I would. His imagination is one of kind, so I guess that it would make perfect sense that he would collaborate with Disney and design an amazing collection for Alice in Wonderland.... he never ceases to take my breath away... xo

Love This!!!

2010-03-19T13:39:00.000-07:00

Because I am a lover of lingerie this of course caught my eye! Really cute shape, great lace detail and perfect little lace shorts cut in a way that will my anyone's booty look amazing. What makes this little number extra special is that is basically Spanx in a way cuter outfit! The Yummy Tummy lace and satin stretch body suit has a waist minimizing panel and underwire design to keep you sucked in and perked up without looking crazy under your clothes. No more horrid Bridget Jones moments!!!

Something I want now!

2010-03-18T08:44:00.000-07:00

The new Chanel temporary tattoos! They were in the spring runway show and are now for sale. Instead of being tacky like most other temp. tattoos these are classy and feminine just like the brand itself. They run about $75 a pack which is pretty steep for something that washes off in a couple days, but I think you get 4 or 5 sheets, so they should last you a while :)

Mara Hoffman

2010-03-17T15:12:00.000-07:00

Dealing and working with patterns can be a challenging feat, but Mara Hoffman seems to do it without fail all of the time. Here are a few pieces from her spring collection that I'm absolutely in love with!!!

Oscar Favorites

2010-03-08T11:32:00.000-08:00

There were so many great dresses at The Oscars this year!!! Although there wasn't that one dress that just knocked it out of the park, there were significantly less disasters which was nice to see (or not see). My favorites are as follows.... Sandra Bullock who looked classic and amazing!

Maggie Gyllenhaal.... loved the color on her and loved that it was different and a bit risky

Kristen Stewart... although I think she seems a bit snotty, and I wish that dress were on someone else... I also loved Miley Cyrus's dress (although for some reason the photo didn't attach). I thought she looked great although it seemed like she was slouching and it was actually really distracting!

Nicole Richie... I loved the vintage style on her! I think that it looked classy, stylish and elegant...

Tina Fey... I loved this dress on her and thought it was such an improvement from the Golden Globes

Rachel McAdams looked beautiful! I loved that her dress had a different feel from every other gown on the red carpet... really beautiful!

Carey Mulligan also looked incredible! I think from head to toe she got everything right... perfect!

Ok... so I haven't written on this here internet thing for a bit, but have been inspired by my friend Maria Carmel to do so... let's see if it works... xx

what I love now

2009-09-26T17:11:00.000-07:00

I love the new Sula Paint & Peel nail polish! Not only does it come in colors that I love (like dark army green), but they also dry quickly and peel off! No more chipping and no more polish remover! I own about 10... they're amazing... :)

Emmy Favorites!

2009-09-25T09:31:00.001-07:00

So I haven't blogged in a while, but the Emmy's gave me the much needed inspiration...

There were a number of beautiful dresses on the red carpet, but January Jones and Lindsay Price were in my opinion the best dressed... they looked amazing!!!!!

There were a number of other great looks including Chloe Sevigny and Mila Kunis... I've included them below as well :)

One Of My Favorite Things

Chanel Perspex Briefcase

"Chanel is one of those luxury brands, that always stuck to their classic aesthetics over the years, while also showing some great innovation. Karl Lagerfeld still impresses us with his creativity and drive to surprise the crowds. During the last Chanel fashion show they presented the new Perspex Briefcase. The execution of this suitcase is brilliant in terms of look and concept."

What I want to eat now!!!!!

2009-06-06T01:13:00.003-07:00

Coolhaus!!!!!

While I have yet to try these things, my mouth is absolutely salivating at the very thought! Ice cream sandwiches are already one of my favorite treats, but I love a new spin on anything. Coolhaus offers ice cream sandwiches in flavors such as Uncle Frank Behry (sugar cookies with strawberry), Miss Vanilla Rohe (chocolate chip cookie and vanilla), Mintimalism (chocolate cookies and mint chip), Richard Meyer Lemon (ginger snaps with lemon) and Oatmeal Cinnamoneo (oatmeal cookies with cinnamon)... hungry?????

Palmers Moisturizing Gel Oil

"TheMoisturizing Gel Oil with SPF 15melds the ultra-hydrating properties of a dense moisturizer with the slick, sheen-imparting quality of an oil, and, of course, the signature cocoa scent still remains. At a cool $9, it’s escapism on the cheap."

LAMILL

I am obsessed with LAMILL Coffee in Silver Lake!! There couldn't be a better place to call my neighborhood coffee shop, and every morning when I head in, my day is instantly better.

My drink of choice is the Spiced Rooibos Milk Tea, but they're whole menu is amazing, and the staff is wonderful!
