Nikki in Lucky

Nikki in Lucky

Nikki Deloach and I did a shoot a few weeks ago, which just went up online at Lucky Magazine. I photographed and styled it, while Allison Noelle did the hair and make up. Her dress is from Novis, our latest obsession and the line Jordana Warmflash launched in 2012. And, the best news… Awkward season 3 starts tonight on MTV at 10pm.

A Moment of Silence

Personal_ (17)

This is not a political blog but all the noise in the world right now is begging for a moment of silence. The world rarely makes sense but some days it’s just easier to understand why. Smile when you can and enjoy your Tuesday lovelies, we are a lucky bunch and the sun is still shining. And to anyone who can’t smile today, we send you light and love all around the world.

Empire of The Sun, New Track, New Album

Empire of the sun

This is the first Monday morning in a lot of years that I am not waking up from a fabulous musical hangover thanks to Coachella. It is sad. But this new track from Empire of The Sun is making up for it a little. The Australian electro-pop duo has a new LP, Ice on the Dune, out in June via Astralwerks. Swoon… Listen to the track “Alive” here and check out the trailer below. Continue reading

Gelareh Mizrahi Ride Or Die skate

Love this new line of bags by DC-born and NY-based designer Gelareh Mizrahi, especially the clutch below. It’s a lot of snakes and skins and even a python skateboard, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. We suggested a bike should be next… Continue reading

H&M Loves Music, Coachella Party

IMG_0460

I love the photo my friend Megan Duffy took yesterday of the field we were on for the H&M Loves Music Coachella event at the Merv Griffin Estate in La Quinta. It reminds me of the Georges Seurat painting below, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Megan nailed it without even realizing it, now that is cool. Below more photos from the party, which was really fun. Santigold, who I LOVE, performed a ton of songs from her new album and her first album which has been out for years now but the songs still sound as fresh and killer as ever. We ran into a ton of friends including my favorite DJ, Michelle Pesce. Thanks H&M for a great day! And thanks Megan for driving us home… Continue reading

Check out the announcement for it below. It’s pretty genius. Continue reading

Sarah Baadarani Fall 2013

SB1

Full disclosure, the fur above is real… Although I am very Pro-Faux, I decided to post it anyway because I agree, it is super sexy with those lace legs, though I think it would be even sexier if the fur were faux. That said, I love everything else Sarah Baadarani is doing. During Golden Globes this year my client Dawn Olivieri wore this young designer out of London that we both fell in love. Sarah has been designing for a few seasons but this was her first on the red carpet in LA and her recent fall 2013 collection is even better than the last. I am swooning over her designs which are original, modern and sexy to boot with something of a young Mcqueen vibe. The full fall collection below. Continue reading
