Monika Chiang iPad Case


I stopped by the new Monika Chiang boutique on Robertson yesterday to chat with the young designer herself and get a peak at some of the new arrivals. I really like the clean simple lines of her clothes, all with a touch of edge in the details; a dagger here, a chain there… perfect for the ex-punk rocker who no longer wants torn up fishnets and leather but still prefers her button downs with a bit of personality. She also just started selling this awesome iPad case which she surprised me with as we were saying our goodbyes. I had just come from a full day of meetings so had my iPad in my purse (total miracle, that tiny little thing holds a lifetime of work and portfolios!) and of course switched cases ASAP. Totally obsessed with this chic little leather case! Love it.

Speaking of great boutiques on Robertson Blvd, LA just got it’s own Rebecca Taylor store. The opening was last night and I stopped by to check out the goods.

I love that she uses faux fur too. Continue reading

Filmmaker Charles Burnett in Person!

If you spend five minutes talking about film with me I will inevitably bring up Charles Burnett’s classic Killer of Sheep. It is by far one of the greatest films ever made and it’s insane that this amazing filmmaker rarely makes films anymore but when he did they were brilliant. This week UCLA is screening two of his films as part of PST and he will be there in person for both! Continue reading

Shipley & Halmos Fragrance Launch at Bird

Shipley & Halmos and D.S. & Durga have collaborated on a limited edition fragrance, Colorado & Florida, that is now available at Bird in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and tonight Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos are hosting a cocktail party at the store to celebrate the launch. I haven’t sniffed the goods yet but have high hopes since these two rarely disappoint. And sadly I won’t be able to toast the talented duo over the bridge because I will be cocktailing in LA this evening but if you are on that other coast, Bird is located at 203 Grand Street in between Bedford Ave and Driggs Ave.
