Alexis Bittar

I seem to have a thing for studs and grommets these days. I am in love with this Alexis Bittar Pyramid Lucite Cuff. Would look great with any outfit! The color is eye-catching. Great for those all white summer outfits! Available at Net-a-Porter.

How about doing your own thing?

The more fashion blogs we look at the more we realize.... everyone really does dress the same. I guess that's why they call it trends. If I were to describe todays look it would be thrift store meets Alexander Wang with some crazy/chunky/gladiator style shoes. Not that there is anything wrong with that. In fact, I quite like the look. But..... hey.... how about marching to your own beat!! (or however that damn saying goes)Hmmmm that's a unique idea. Above, some gorgeous pieces by California designer Heidi Merrick, and guess what?????? No layering.

Twelfth Street

I found this little diddy over on Pink Mascara today. It's a great summer dress that gives me a Donna Summer disco feeling for some reason. Love the great color!! This will be perfect for those hot summer days ahead!
Twelfth Street Draw Waist Cami Dress, 100% Silk. $275.00

Miu Miu

Oh my beloved Miu Miu... It's been two years since they closed their doors in So Cal on Robertson. I'm just beyond thrilled to know the little shop with my new "must have" bag is back and open on Rodeo Drive!! If your in the area stop in and have a look-see! Loving the black motorcycle jacket ( and yes I realize it was 90 degrees today!) All items available on Net-a-Porter.

Fun Gold Watches

More fun from my Japanese Fashion Mags.... I just LOVE these tacky gold watches with religious figures on them, I mean.. what could be more ghetto and fabulous then that!!! I want one sooooo bad!! The boyfriend just bought me a lovely chunky mens gold Timex... I'll post a pic as soon as it comes in the mail.

Gilfy

I thought these were fun, wild little shoes from the Japanese line Gilfy. I wish I could tell you more about Gilfy but since their website and ads are all in Japanese... you'll just have to look at the pretty little pictures.

Keep your little Blazer

Don't put away your little blazer you wore all Winter and Fall... A little tailored jacket over shorts or a white dress keep your Spring outfits looking chic. I have almost worn out my favorite Forever 21 jacket over the last season....... Hoping I can squeeze out a few more wears!

Chictopia

OMG, this has got to be the best site! I am completely obsessed with Chictopia.com. Just another reason for me to be on the computer even more then I already am! (ugh) But really it's a super fun little site where you create your own mini fashion blog by posting pictures of yourself in great outfits. Then its shared with all the other fun fashion gals that are on. Fun, fun, fun!!! Photos from their site from chictopia bloggers: sanseyelash, zoe, and everybodyisugly.

The Costume Institute Gala

Last night was the big Costume Institute Gala... here are just a few of my favorite ensembles. The fashionable Kate Bosworth (yes on our site once again ) Anna Wintour just kills it in Chanel Couture. The dress reminds me of something Natalie Portman wore in all the Star Wars movies. Coco Rocha and Anja Rubik are anything but boring.  Zac Posen and Kate Mara in Zac Posen of course. I am just mad, mad in love with the Givenchy dress Christina Ricci wore. (although she could use a cheeseburger or two), also loving Diane Krugers random pink shoes. See much much more at Style.com

Brown Shoe Conclusion

Just FYI... in conclusion to the brown shoe confession earlier, this is what I decided to go with. From Nine West, they are a sort of gladiator inspired peep-toe sandal, with a decent size heel. The shoe comes in black and of course.... this lovely shade of brown.

Sunnies

It's that time of the year when we happily break out the sunnies... and that usually means we are all in the market for a new pair. ( or two or three ) There are so many fabulous glasses to choose from and you can never have to many. I've had my eye on a pair of Tom Ford's for some time now....but unfortunately, they are not in my cards ( or in my bank account ) but I found a great alternative. (photos above) Thrift store $3.99 ers no less!!! Just goes to show not everything has to cost you an arm and leg to be great!! You just need to keep your eyes open.

Brown Shoes

I have a thing for brown/beige/tan colored shoes. Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you I rarely buy anything else. I have no idea why......... it's strange I agree. So when I wanted to post some pictures of some great spring/summer shoes I've been coveting and realized (of course) they were all brown, I almost decided against it. But then I figured hey..... we all have our faults, so what the hell. Also for the record, I go back and forth about the wedge. Sometimes I think they should go to that far away place I hope chunky flip-flops have gone and sometimes.... I don't know, they seem like a good idea. These wedges in the first pic by Borne are strangely ugly too. I have no idea why on earth I want them. Shoes by Borne, Christian Louboutin, and Cole Haan.

My new Miu Miu handbag

Okay so officially I don't have this bag.... but apparently all you have to do is ask the universe for whatever you want and it will come. So I'm BEGGING!!! Every time I see a picture of this GORJ! Miu Miu bag it brings tears to my eyes. The color, the shape.... so classic looking. It will be mine........ oh yes, it will be mine.

To mix metals or not to mix metals.....

I suppose most people are firm believers in either wearing gold or silver, but never at the same time. This is one of those pretty basic common knowledge type of things.... although personally, I don't buy it. I like mixing metals. In fact I'm doing it as I speak ( or type ). Super famous stylist Rachel Zoe always seems to do it. ( although it's hard to see she is DEF mixing metals in this pic ) In her book "Style A to Zoe" she says you should only mix metals when there is a way to link them. For instance, a piece that incorporates both metals. Hmmmmmm.. To mix or not to mix??? This is the question.

Long Summer Dresses

The weather in SoCal is unbelievable.... already seems like summer. Nothing is better then a gorgeous long light weight dress when trying to look fashionable during the killer heat! The first picture above is a FABULOUS Roberto Cavalli silk dress, that I just LOVE! The second (and I have no idea why it is sideways) is my cheaper version of this great summer style. In fact... about $4,500 dollars cheaper. No joke! Found it at my local Veronica M.

The Return of the Jean Jacket

Yes the jean jacket has made it's comeback... and not on the runways but on the streets. Here are a couple photos courtesy of Lucky Mag's Street Scene. We should of figured when one of the Olsen sisters was spotted a couple months ago wearing one, that girls everywhere would start to be seen in them. In London and New York ( pics above ) the fashionable are all sporting little denim and sometimes deconstructed jackets. Guess it's time to dust mine off!!

Fashion Forward?????

This isn't a new photo... but while browsing through old pictures from the 'Sartorialist', I found this gem. Now I'm all for trend-settters, those fashion forward few who seem to be doing things no one else has quite caught on to yet, but these pants???? Oh man.... the shape (while I'm sure cutting edge to a few) would do nothing for me but make me look like an oompa loompa. I work so hard at trying to make my Corgi short legs look longer then they really are, so pants like this REALLY frighten me! EEEEkkkk!
