A Little Love

A great site I found via Vain and Vapid.  Naomi Murrell.  I really like her style.  Great holiday gift options for your best girls.

A Night in Oz

As winter sets in here in CA I am escaping a bit tonight with my favorite Aussie fashion mags.  It's summer down under and I am fantasizing about warm sun and views from Bronte Beach.

I Think Kate is Great

Kate Moss took a lot of flack in the press last week for her candid comments on personal mottos.  While I don't condone obsessive, unhealthy behavior in order to be thin, feeling fit is certainly a high.  I am down almost two sizes and it feels pretty damn good.  I am siding with Kate on this one.

Tears for Luella

http://fifi-lapin.blogspot.com/2009/11/luella-forever.html

Well, leave it to the dear Fifi Lapin to capture my despair over the SP '10 Luella news to a tee.  I am sad, yet hopeful someone with a keen eye (and deep pockets) will swoop in and revive Ms. Luella's line.

Miss Priss

Enjoying these not so basic black pumps.  The twist on the bow suits my fancy for pizazz.  However, I think they might just pass with my fashionably conservative, Southern mother.  If I paired them with something from Ann Taylor of course...

Cycle Style

http://www.copenhagencyclechic.com/One of my favorite new cyberspace finds.  Per The Guardian it's "The Satorialist on two wheels."  Enjoy.

Honey Do

While reading my daily R29 email this morning, I managed to find a new project for my hubs.  It's kind of an Alice in Wonderland style bookcase.  As seen in Claire Thomson's Paris apartment.

In Honor Of

I have decided to channel the band The Horrors for the remainder of the week.  It will be a finale of sorts to my favorite month of the year.

Faux Sure

I am most excited about this particular item in the J. Peterman Christmas catalog.  I am headed to NYC and VA in December so I will be putting it to good use.  http://jpeterman.com/product~cat~110208~sku~WAC+2568.asp

New Vault by Vans pop up store in Santa Monica

Today I am bragging on my hubs who's company did a beautiful build out at Fred Segal's Conveyor.  Vans has taken it over for the next few months to showcase the Vault line.  http://hypebeast.com/2009/10/vans-vault-popup-shop-fred-segal-conveyor/

Bad day, good boots.

Nothing to pick up my spirits like a kick ass pair of red boots.

Fashionably NASCAR

Loving the fact that Nascar and great fashion coexist.  Love Capitol.  http://jakandjil.com/blog/?p=3070

Honesty might be the best policy

A truthful tidbit from an exhibit at MoMA.

Mag Mayhem

I am trying to organize my many magazines and books. I can't seem to part with any...

Karen Walker SP '10

The finale at Karen Walker SP '10. Love her!

Lula #9

Lula #9 coming for Fall/Winter. Ooo la Lula.

Great trip to MoMA this past week. The Song Dong Waste Not exhibit was amazingly intricate and the Bruce Nauman neon installation had me in a trance for a moment.

I came across this on Vain and Vapid at first. I quite like it and was surprised to see it in Marie Claire. Seems like good things are happening over there...they've just acquired Taylor Tomasi from Teen Vogue. She's fantastic. http://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/trends/articles/alexa-chung-fashion-style

Another great shot from The Selby of my friend Aya. He shot her and her dad at his home in Gramercy Park. This pic totally embodies her great spirit. For more shots check out theselby.com.

The lovely Natalie Wood. My former co-worker and all around talent. To see more of her apartment visit theselby.com.

New Spring 2010 Vans. Can't wait for the entire collection to deliver.

Loved this post today. Long live Jem and She-Ra. http://pipeline.refinery29.com/under_the_influence/babes_in_toyland_nine_cartoon.php

I Heart Guts.  They make these stuffed toy organs and glands. They are a riot!  One of my favorite gifts for curious kids...or adults. iheartguts.com  

Bought these for my mom  and my hubs.  Simple, but sweet.  

Attended the Renegade Craft Fair in LA today.  Lots to see and soak in.  So many great artists. 

As if Facebook and Twitter aren't enough.  I have jumped onto the blog train.  Bear with me as I get up to speed.  I am almost 33...old in cyber space.  xx
