LA Times‘ fashion editor (and fellow former WWD fashion editor) Melissa Magsaysay has a new book coming out that she wrote and our friend Donato Sardella photographed. I am so excited for her! Nothing cooler than your first book, congratulations! Missy writes about all the different styles that LA locals across the board like to sport about town. City of Style, Exploring Los Angeles Fashion From Bohemian to Rock comes out in May but you can pre-order a copy on Amazon now…
Dawn Olivieri wore this killer Sara Shepherd gown to last night’s InStyle party, and though you can’t see them now she’s also wearing Giuseppe Zanotti heels along with her Kotur clutch and a million bucks worth of Hearts on Fire diamonds. More pics (including the diamonds!) below… Continue reading
The morning after the night before… A stray pair of Jimmy Choos because, well, we don’t need no stinking Choos and the heels always come off at the end of the night. And Matt Leblanc‘s Golden Globe makes an appearance, the man himself was to the left. Looking dapper and hot. Dapper was the word of the evening because the boys looked just as good as the girls last night. So fun…
Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci pre fall 2012. Thank goodness someone used something from this stunning collection. Nina Ricci, along with Zac Posen, Prada and J Mendel, did some of the season’s best red carpet gowns. More of the ladies, who looked amazing this year and so many of them in my favorite shades of nude, beige and neutrals (with a few dresses from my wish list as well) below. Continue reading
LA is a small town. And I don’t mean in the metaphorical sense as in “everybody knows everybody”. That part is obviously true and goes without saying. I mean it’s a small town as in Main Street small. So when something big happens, it feels as though everyone participates. For all the Continue reading
The Polish Ambassador – First Words by Polish Ambassador
The Polish Ambassador double album, First Words, released in December 2010. Great music for a fun Golden Globes weekend. I’ll be hanging out at the Beverly Hilton later tonight and tomorrow for the big bash with friends much more fabulous than I am but first, today’s brunch at The London Hotel with Rachel Bilson and Nicole Chavez to celebrate their ShoeMint collaboration… More later.
As usual I found dresses, shoes and bags (and more diamonds!) for all of my girls and then some but realized last night I hadn’t thought of a dress for myself for the weekend. Although it always works out and I end up wearing something I love, if I had it my way, this would be the look I would wear to Sunday evening’s party I’m attending at the Beverly Hilton right after the Golden Globes ceremony. A Nina Ricci pre fall 2012 dress, Casedei heels and the Alexander McQueen clutch I’ve been obsessed with all season. One of these days I will remember to request a dress for myself…
I got a package of Sudden Youth products, launched in 1981 by Lea Black, to try out a few weeks ago and finally had some time to play with them over the holidays. I love the Apple Stem Cell Light Serum which goes on incredibly light and all of the products have absolutely no scent which I also LOVE! They make the usual promises of less wrinkles and youth in a bottle which I have a secret penchant for and I like their philosophy. I am vocally anti surgery and needles so anything in a bottle that will prolong my younger self is always welcome. I haven’t been Continue reading
I just looked at Balenciaga and was so disappointed. I mean, honestly, what is that? It’s completely unwearable, utterly hideous and somehow because it’s Balenciaga we are supposed to swoon? Cristobal is turning in his grave. Forgive me but that collection is awful. On the other hand, the collection above from Martin Margiela is gorgeous, ditto Gucci below. That is what I want my fashion to look like. Not some clueless fourteen year old who drunkenly stumbled through St.Mark’s place trying to recreate NY circa 1977 (with the worst of the 80s thrown in for kicks).
