Gone Sailing For The Holidays…

I wish… This was taken earlier this year on a shoot for ELLE magazine with some friends from NY. We were on a yacht sailing from St.John to St.Thomas to grab a drink at Foxys which is where I wish I was spending the holidays but alas atleast it is relatively warm where I am. And rumor has it Christmas Day will be the standard Southern California 72 degrees though I am not entirely sure I prefer that to a fresh snowfall but can’t complain either way. Wherever you are this weekend, here is wishing everyone a beautiful holiday, a Merry Christmas and days full of love, joy and all things good. Style & Fashion will resume on Monday as I have lots of cooking to do this weekend. xox

One Last Gift Guide Just Because It’s Cool Stuff


I fell in love with these gorgeous earrings from UK-based Victoria Tryon, they are real and excitingly expensive. She doesn’t sell stateside (yet) but you can find them for sale online here. Rimowa just launched an iPad cover in time for the holidays. I have one of their amazing pieces of luggage and can’t imagine my travel life without it. Seriously, it changed my travel forever. Also, a new posthumous album of various recordings from Amy Winehouse have just been released.

This past year a few really great specialty boutiques opened up in LA including Vosges chocolates in Beverly Hills and luxury beauty experts Santa Maria Novella on Melrose Place. I just started using the face soap from SMN and it’s fantastic! I usually use liquid cleansers but they asked me to give it a try and I love it! And chocolate truffles from Vosges is a no brainer for gift giving. They are the ones who do those amazing bacon and hot pepper blends with chocolate. Totally addictive.


And I really want a Smythson Panama 2012 dairy (or the Bijou Soho Diary in fuchsia, LOVE!) Oh, and for the funny obsessed in your life there was nothing funnier this year than the first season of Awkward. It’s been a long time since “quality television” was in the same sentence as “MTV” but this year the creators of all things horridly REAL finally came back to life with an actual TV show worth watching. Smart, funny and brilliantly written this is a must watch perfect stocking stuffer. Happy holiday shopping!

Estella Warren, New Photos, 2011

A few weeks ago I photographed and styled a shoot with Estella Warren who is a great friend and also a client of mine. She has been in Mallorca, Spain all month shooting a new film, The Stranger Inside written and directed by Adam Neutzsky-Wulff with Billy Baldwin and Sarah Butler, which should be out sometime next year. This week is also her birthday and I am hoping she will stick with tradition and bake her friends a cake (hint!) She is not only a stunning woman, talented actress and amazing friend but as anyone who knows her will attest she is also an extraordinary baker and chef. Last time we did dinner at her house she made cherry pie, coconut chocolate cake and her famous gooey bars which are sinful and heavenly beyond words. Above, Estella in BB Dakota leggings, Ben Sherman suspenders and Aldo leopard print heels. The rest of the shoot below… Continue reading

Diane Von Furstenberg Pre Fall 2011

I love this collection, I would wear pretty much everything, but it does make me think a little of January Jones & cheerleaders trying on different looks. The gloves, the knee socks, etc. I’m not a fan of the patent leather shoe here but otherwise it’s all super cute (here’s hoping that’s faux fur…) I like how DVF reinvents her girls every season, keeps us on our high heeled toes. Fun styling too!

Traveling (*and staying home) In Style

Ok fine, so you can’t actually travel with these wooden boxes but damn they’re cute! If you’re hitting the road for the holidays you will surely want to take something other than these but no harm in having them stacked in your house for storing nick knacks brought back from abroad. When I travel I like to have Dr. Perricone‘s products to keep me hydrated and glowing and a bottle of Creed Fantasia de Fluers to smell like heaven. Also obsessed with this knit scarf and Rag & Bone fedora that kind of goes with everything. And I’m still dying to read Mindy Kaling‘s new book, #1 on my holiday to do list.

They may be winter whites for next year (or something like that, can anyone really keep track of season’s anymore?) but I am in LOVE with Doo Ri’s pre fall collection. This woman can do no wrong.
