A Bib Obsessed

2012-01-30T08:58:00.000-08:00

I can't stop thinking these bib necklaces by Dannijo. How good would one look so good with an old t-shirt?!?!

Hot Lips

2012-01-25T17:00:00.000-08:00

How fun is this two-tone lip color that a model rocked during Paris Fashion Week??!! To pull of this look just apply an orange-ish red just to the outer edge of lips, then fill in the center of lips with a bright fuchsia. This one by YSL is my new favorite.

Totes-Amaze

2012-01-21T20:59:00.000-08:00

My bff, Morgan, recently got my one of these super adorable tote bags from Thursday Friday. I have the Diamond Super Together bag in blue, which makes the perfect carry-on bag!!

I Want To Be a Pretty Girl

2012-01-19T21:58:00.000-08:00

Perfume, make-up, jewelry .... a few thing every girl needs. Being a self-proclaimed beauty product junkie, I love seeing how people display these daily beautifying items. My favorite are the last two pictures from Oracle Fox.

Do The Twist

2012-01-18T23:38:00.000-08:00

I've been trying to grow out my bangs and they're in that awkward faze -- not quite layers but not bangs anymore. These twist styles are a great way to change it up.

Animalistic

2012-01-15T11:44:00.000-08:00

Apparently, the latest knitwear has taken a turn to the wild side. Would you rock one of these sweaters?

Suitcase Nightstands

2012-01-12T11:48:00.000-08:00

Lately, I've been obsessed with the idea of using objects in ways they weren't intended to be used. Stacking suitcases next to a bed creating an instant nightstand is kind of genius! The Louis Vuitton ones would be my dream but I'll probably go for something closer to the second picture (from cupcakes & cashmere).

Street Chic

2012-01-11T23:25:00.000-08:00

Taste The Rainbow

2012-01-10T10:51:00.000-08:00

These Claire Vivier fold-over clutches add just the right pop of color,

scarlet fever

2012-01-09T09:59:00.000-08:00

Did some post-holiday shopping at The Grove the other day (I always feel like I'm at Disneyland when I'm there) but I do love the historical Farmers Market.

(pants: j brand, sweater: autumn cashmere, bag: chanel, shoes: colette for timberland)

happy new year

2012-01-08T11:20:00.000-08:00

I have a feeling 2012 is going to be a great year.
Matt and I drove up to San Francisco to celebrate with some friends and stopped by Big Sir on our back down to LA.

in living color

2011-12-27T14:47:00.000-08:00

These stylish ladies in Paris make me want to put my neutral-toned clothes away for a while and grab something bright instead!

fun pillows

2011-12-13T23:31:00.000-08:00

These animal pillows by Ross Menuez would make great christmas presents. Guess which one I'm getting?!!?

leopard jeans, yes please

2011-12-11T18:29:00.001-08:00

Everyone's been rocking the leopard jeans lately but no one can pull them off as well as kate can, love it!

The Mini Dress

2011-11-28T21:48:00.001-08:00

One of my favorite fashion icons, Jane Birkin in a long sleeve black mini-dress. I've been looking for one just like it...an easy to throw on with boots or fun wedges. American Apparel and NightCap both make similar dresses -- YES!!

barcelona and other spanish adventures

2011-11-27T10:26:00.001-08:00

Here are some long overdue (hipstamatic) photos from our honeymoon in Spain. Looking at the takes me back to those beautiful places. Enjoy!

Giving Thanks

black/white

2011-11-01T15:54:00.000-07:00

Nothing like a black leather biker vest to toughen up a white dress. Kate's studded cuff adds a nice touch as well.

trick or treat

white jacket

2011-10-27T10:30:00.000-07:00

I've been wanting a white Chanel jacket for a while now -- how cute does Clemence look in hers?

seeing red

2011-10-13T00:08:00.000-07:00

I never really thought I could like red lace but this dress by Lover manages to be chic, sexy and modern all rolled into one.

the wedding

2011-10-08T19:03:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures from my wedding on September 10th. We had the ceremony at the Wright Ranch in Malibu. I know everyone says that they're wedding is better than they could have ever imagined but I really feel like that's true. All the right people were there and the night was so special. Our photographer Chloe Moore was amazing at capturing all the right moments and we even had a lucky photo booth (such a hit!)

fall jacket

2011-09-29T09:15:00.000-07:00

I'm lusting over this brown suede jacket from Free People -- it's the perfect go-to jacket for fall. I especially love it with that tea length skirt and chunky platforms.

Style Muse

2011-08-11T00:54:00.000-07:00

Rosie sure knows how to rock a pair of skinny jeans...And I love that hat too!

The Right Cuff

2011-07-27T00:03:00.000-07:00

Isabel Marant's "All The Midnight in The World" feathered-appliqued brass cuff -- I want!

The Dress

2011-07-10T19:52:00.001-07:00

How gorgeous is her wedding dress?! A custom-designed gown by John Galliano with the prettiest, intricate beading and vintage-bohemian vibe.

prepster

2011-07-06T00:03:00.000-07:00

I recently found out about Jack Wills, when my friend brought me back a liberty-print jacket from the store in Boston. They have so many cute pieces for summer, it's like a preppy version of Topshop. I'm lusting for these adorable Streatley Sandals.

top ten

2011-06-24T17:18:00.000-07:00

For today's post, I grabbed my top ten favorite pairs of shoes out of my closet. My shoe style is always changing. Depending on my mood I'll grab anything from my Bess studded moccasins to my Camilla Skovgaard wedge booties to my Lanvin metallic yellow flats.... even Havaiana flip flops (which I left out since they're not very pretty).

wild child

2011-06-20T22:37:00.000-07:00

I've had the strong desire lately to bring my leopard coat back into rotation...

arm candy

2011-06-16T12:24:00.000-07:00

This bag is so simple, but the signature "H" hardware just makes it that much better. And the smaller square shape and natural tan leather make it the perfect summer bag.

starlet

2011-06-14T20:16:00.000-07:00

I recently took my schwinn starlet out of the garage for some afternoon riding. It was such a nice day out, I picked up some fruit and lavender at the farmers market (felt like I should've had a baguette in my basket too). Then I decided to take Otis for a ride, but he wasn't really that excited about it.

(sweater: topshop, shorts: stronghold, bag: balenciaga, shoes: sam edelman)

monogram

2011-06-12T14:03:00.000-07:00

As summer is approaching, many of us are dreaming about packing those suitcases and going on a trip. How adorable is Milla Jovovich's monogram Louis Vuitton rolling suitcase?! If I had one of these, I'd make an excuse to travel all the time. Create your own personalized suitcase here.

the right stripes

2011-06-11T11:05:00.000-07:00

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a serious stripe fetish. I just gravitate to all things stripes, I guess it's because they are an always-classic print. When I spotted this first picture of Angela Lindvall in that Isabel Marant striped dress I was instantly inspired.

ballerina hair

2011-06-08T12:08:00.000-07:00

When deciding what to do with my hair on my wedding day, I decided I wanted it to look natural and wear it down but this adorable bun has me changing my mind. She reminds me of a ballerina but more carefree. And I love that shorter length Ivy and Aster dress too.

seeing stars

2011-06-03T19:20:00.000-07:00

When asked why is the star important?’ Stefano Gabanna responded ‘Because all the
woman is a star’. That's good enough reason for me. I jumped onboard with this trend and bought a silk star-print blouse at Zara.

falcon

2011-06-01T20:12:00.000-07:00

I've been completely neglectful on my blog posts lately... work, wedding planning, and catching a cold just kind of took over, but I'M BACK! Here are some random shots from a sunday afternoon in my friend's 60's Falcon. What is it about vintage cars that just makes everything look cooler?

(jeans- textile by elizabeth and james, top- hm, shoes - missoni, sunglasses -garret leight)

leather shorts

2011-05-17T22:38:00.000-07:00

Rachel Bilson totally nails the leather shorts look at the Chanel Cruise Show in Cap d'Antibes, France. Pretty much everything about this outfit is pure perfection...from the louboutin pumps to the quilted leather clutch.

calling color to the wild

2011-05-10T22:42:00.000-07:00

Today we did a photo shoot at Kerry Malouf's house in Venice for Malibu Magazine. The theme was "Calling Color to the Wild" so we utilized bright colored hair powder, coral lipstick and pink eyeshadows.

mom's day

2011-05-08T15:03:00.000-07:00

Give all the mama's out there some extra love today.
I'm also happy to announce I've reached over 100 followers. Thank you!!

give me height

2011-05-06T16:07:00.000-07:00

I spotted the Givenchy "Fisherman Wedge" the other day at Barney's and fell in love instantly. It's a super high platform wedge but in a cool, earthy-brown leather that makes them wearable during the day. HELL YES!!

monday inspiration

2011-05-02T23:00:00.000-07:00

Pastel pink, fur shrugs, a hammock by an open window, cuddling your pet, and a colorful long skirt (not to mention fabulous hair)....

made her think

2011-05-02T00:37:00.000-07:00

I spotted these new pieces by Made Her Think on Shopbop and I want them all. They have a art deco yet edgy vibe that can make a statement out of any outfit. I really like the Pave Hex Ring.

sheer pink

2011-04-26T11:53:00.000-07:00

Sheer maxi skirts were everywhere at Coachella, and I love how this one plays on the ballerina trend. Now if I could only find out where to get that tiger cub...

summer shoes

2011-04-25T09:56:00.000-07:00

Just got these new Missoni espadrille flats at Elyse Walker the other day and I can't stop wearing them! They're the perfect mix of high-end and casual. Which summer shoe are you longing for?

happy easter

2011-04-24T21:33:00.000-07:00

Hope you all had a wonderful sunday and Easter for those of you who celebrate. I had a great day but kinda wish I was still a kid again so I could partake in a Easter Egg hunt, is that sad?

native american touches

2011-04-19T20:40:00.000-07:00

Native American inspiration was everywhere at the Coachella this year.. from funky feather earrings to vintage turquoise jewelry to my fringed Mr Winter leather bag. See more pictures of my bag and other trend-worthy items on Asos.

songs in the desert

2011-04-18T22:43:00.000-07:00

A weekend of music at Coachella has definitely left me exhausted today but it was totally worth it. Everyone was amazing live -- Mumford and Sons, Chromeo, CSS, Death From Above 1979, City and Color, Empire of the Sun, The Strokes, and last but not least Kanye West. I can't wait to go again next year.

spring sienna

2011-04-10T19:20:00.000-07:00

Sienna Miller taking a stroll in Primrose Hill, London looking ready for spring in a ivory dress. I just love the way lace-up boots look with spring dresses!

peg pants

2011-04-08T14:35:00.000-07:00

While I'm not really digging the harem pants trend, these ones on Asos are a nice variation. Plus, the loose relaxed fit on these is wayyyyy more flattering.

style muse

2011-04-01T20:34:00.000-07:00

Zoe Kravitz always displays her unique boho-rocker style on and off the red carpet. With parents like Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, how could she not have great style.

brush your shoulders off

2011-03-29T23:37:00.000-07:00

Shoulders often get overlooked but there's something sexy, yet understated about shoulders peeking out of a top. These styles from Free People are just what I need to break me out of my t-shirt and jeans routine.

PS1 for spring

2011-03-27T17:28:00.000-07:00

The PS1 Satchel is being seen everywhere this season, and for good reason. It's the perfect size for toting all your necessities around town AND it's a messenger bag! I'm in love with these new spring colors, especially the dusty rose suede version.

in a new york minute

2011-03-20T22:47:00.000-07:00

New York City will always be one of my favorite places in the world. I just got back from the hustling, bustling place that never sleeps. The shopping there is always something I look forward to...as are the museums, and cool restaurants and bars that are so unlike anything we have in LA. What's really fun is checking out stores that aren't in LA like Topshop (pictures above are some pieces from the store in Soho that I love), Bess, Bond No.9 and Screaming Mimi's and the eclectic vintage shops.

off to nyc

2011-03-13T07:51:00.000-07:00

Just arrived to the big apple on friday night. It's really my favorite city in the world.

Kate for Longchamp Spring 2011

2011-03-08T09:56:00.000-08:00

More than the Longchamp handbags themselves, I really just love Kate's Brigitte Bardot-esque look in these ads. It's inspired me to cut my bangs again.

tequila sunrise

2011-03-04T21:34:00.000-08:00

Here's one dress that makes me wish the sun would never set. It's the Cabo Maxi dress by One Teaspoon. The long, slouchy fit makes it the perfect beach cover-up.

wedding dress sketches

2011-03-01T15:38:00.000-08:00

I can't imagine having the world's most talented designers all competing to make me a wedding dress! Kate Middleton has a lot of options to choose from. These are some sketches done by Karl Lagerfeld, Missoni, Gucci, Alberta Ferreti, and Valentino (which is my favorite!) Which dress would you pick?

happy friday

2011-02-25T22:35:00.001-08:00

It's raining this weekend in LA, which means mostly everyone stays in. I however, feel like living on the edge.

What are you plans?

london fashionweek

2011-02-21T18:18:00.000-08:00

Oh, how I wish I could be there. Rachel Bilson and Kate Bosworth attended the Burberry wearing the designer head to toe. Both of these looks are so different, yet I like them both, however I could definitely see myself wearing Kate's cropped jacket and studded pencil skirt.

the perfect messenger

2011-02-20T13:17:00.000-08:00

My latest obsession from Givenchy is this Mini Pandora Messenger bag. It's the totally functional for carrying around while doing errands all day and perfect to take out at night with a little black dress.

welcome to the jungle

2011-02-17T20:38:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'll admit that going braless and wearing short-shorts isn't exactly the most practical daily uniform, but for seventies drag racing bombshell, "Jungle Pam" it just worked.

i heart you

2011-02-15T16:00:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day. Usually I could care less about this day, but it's a fun excuse to eat chocolate, get pretty flowers and hopefully get taken out to dinner.

Here's a pic of my favorite new ring from Hoorsenbuhs, it's the silver Phantom ring with black diamonds and I'm obsessed! I actually got it for my birthday but have been meaning to do a post about it.

2011-02-09T20:19:00.000-08:00

I don't think there's ever been a time when I could turn down a photobooth. Here's some dorky shots from last friday at The Hudson in West Hollywood where we celebrated my friend Augie's birthday.

I'm dying to get my hands on some of this fabulous, vintage-inspired jewelry by Nicole Richie. Check out Gilt right now where all of the pieces are available for under $200. It's like the hidden treasures you always try to find at the flea market, only better!

look of the day

2011-02-02T22:52:00.000-08:00

Kate Bosworth looks so effortlessly put together at Sundance in this funky Helmut Lang shearling jacket and Dolce & Gabbana floral dress. Get a similar jacket on Topshop for half the price. What do you think of this look?

For all the ladies in the LA area, there's an Indah Sample Sale happening on Saturday February 12th from 9:30am-2:30pm. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than to sip on mimosas while you shop for super cute dresses, bikinis, lounge pants, sarongs and more. P.S. did I mention there'll be $5, $10, and $20 bins!

Lingerie meets bridal style in this editorial and the combination is such a fun concept. How adorable is that white fur coat in the third picture???

behind the scenes malibu mag photo shoot

2011-01-11T18:02:00.000-08:00

When I look at editorials, instantly I notice are the clothes and the model. I never realized how much behind the scenes work it takes to get everything to look amazing. On sunday around 11:30am the crew showed up. Beauty maven, Kerry Malouf with her case of make-up (secret weapon is Jouer tinted moisturizer...this stuff works miracles!) Then Anton, came in and styled the model's hair, giving her that sultry, bed-head chic look we all strive for. Lauren Matocha from Elyse walker was in charge of wardrobe and brought a mix of beachy, sexy, bohemian pieces to follow the inspiration board....think faux fur vests, chunky silver rings, tattered denim shorts, etc. Brian Bowen Smith, the talented photographer whose book is The Men and Women of Marc Jacobs, captured it all. Be sure to check out the issue of Malibu Mag when it comes out next month.

Bon Weekend a Tous

2011-01-07T16:10:00.000-08:00

My plans for this weekend are to relax as much as possible, see a movie and maybe do a little shopping. Enjoy yours!

at the top of the mountain

2011-01-06T20:20:00.000-08:00

Sorry, it's been a while since my last blog post, but I've been in Mammoth for New Years in a cabin...WITHOUT ANY INTERNET ACCESS!!! Other than not being able to use the internet and getting my car stuck in our snow-filled driveway, the trip was a blast. We had about 20 people staying in one big cabin, so needless to say there was never a dull moment. How did you ring in 2011?

gearing up for the cold

2010-12-28T20:59:00.000-08:00

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holiday festivites. I'm driving up to Mammoth tomorrow bright and early to have some fun in the snow and celebrate the New Year. I can't help but wish I had a pair of these Ugg and Jimmy Choo limited edition boots to keep my toesies warm (Amber Valletta looks so good in them!) I'll have to settle for my old beat up Uggs for now. What are your plans to ring in 2011??

generation love

2010-12-22T00:15:00.000-08:00

Basics with an edgy twist are what you'll find in Generation Love. The line is all handmade in NYC and priced under $100. I have my eyes on the hooded tunic in the second pic.

let your socks ride high

2010-12-19T23:24:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you but all of this holiday shopping has seriously taken a toll on my sanity. Of course, when shopping for others I always see things I want for myself...which really isn't so bad is it? Anyways I went to Forever 21 (which was a total madhouse!) but scored some really cute thigh-high socks for like 5 bucks. You can also get them at American Apparel in various colors.

free shipping

2010-12-16T20:44:00.000-08:00

The perfect thing for any savvy internet shopping...free shipping! Tomorrow is National Free Shipping day so anything you buy tomorrow is guaranteed to get to you/or the person you send to by Christmas eve. Stores like Neiman Marcus, Yves Saint Laurent, Nordstrom, and DVF are just a few of the stores that will be offering to ship your goodies for free...

the weekend

2010-12-15T18:53:00.000-08:00

It always seems that right before the holidays, there are so many things going on. Parties and other festivities have been keeping me busy. Saturday night we celebrated our friend's birthday at his log cabin-style house (he is one of the owners of The Bigfoot Lodge) with bbq, some pool playing and drinks. Sunday night I had a party at the Venice Canals to watch the Holiday Boat Parade which was really, really fun. Now, if only I could find some time to get started on Christmas shopping.

This video makes me happy on this gloomy, december day. I'm really digging Lykke's outfit too especially that cool hat.

2010-12-14T00:01:00.000-08:00

I don't always like unconventional wedding dresses because sometime it seems like they're trying too hard to be different.... but this one from Oracle Fox's wedding in Bali totally fits the location and I think it looks stunning on her! And I love that she wore feathers in her hair too, nice touch.

gifts

2010-12-07T22:59:00.000-08:00

I feel like such a lucky girl, for my birthday I got flowers, a F21 gift card, flip video camera and a Chanel rock and chain bag!!! What are some of your favorite birthday gifts you've received?

another candle on the cake

2010-12-05T20:11:00.000-08:00

For my 25th birthday (ahhh 25 I can't believe it) I had a house party to celebrate not only my birthday but also moving into a new house. Since I feel like I'm now officially an adult, it seemed only right to rent a moonbounce. All in all, the party was a success but I always feel like the time flies by so quickly when I'm the host. These hypstematic photos were taken by my friend Kerry Malouf, who also did my fabulous party make up!

sample sale chic

I don't know about you but I'm the type of girl who likes to indulge in a little online shopping now and then but I also like getting a deal. A friend of mine just told me about a collaboration with Nina Garcia & Marie Claire for Gilt.com. They'll be doing a series of sample sales featuring funky jewelry, handbags and sunglasses and even men's clothing...YES!!

Believe it or not, this rainbow wall was inside of a Downtown LA parking lot. I had to take a picture in front of it after a night out at the Edison, because my inner hippie loves rainbows.

Girls everywhere can celebrate that letting your roots show is no longer a bad thing. Although, achieving this look may not be as easy as it seems. What do you think of the ombre hair trend?

Oh, the Oxford. Being a girl who loves heels I still can't resist this classic shoe by Miu Miu. Recently, I saw a girl wearing the black ones with black skinny jeans and a patent Givenchy bag and she looked so chic. Although, if I had to choose I think I would get the nude pair.

scarf style

I've always admired Rachel Bilson's carefree LA style. This outfit is perfect for those cold November days and since I'm on a bit of a scarf kick I'm really into her Ferragamo leopard-print scarf...so adorable! But of course, I also can't take my eyes off that Chanel chain strap bag.
