La La Land

May 29, 2013

It seems Charlotte Olympia, the eccentric accessories designer popular for her purr-fect kitten loafers, has recently been inspired by the City of Angels for her pre-fall "Hollywoodland" collection. With playful clutches in the shapes of film slate boards, Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, and film reels, and shoes inspired...

Runway vs. Street Style: Tied Shirts

May 26, 2013

Remember back in the day when it was cold in the morning but progressively got hotter throughout the day and like, it was really annoying having to wear a sweatshirt and then taking it off and having to carry it around and it was sooo annoying until we had this great epiphany that we could just take our sweatshirts...

modern hippies of the city

May 24, 2013

Moschino Cheap & Chic has a tendency to be somewhat cheeky, but we love every second of it! For the Resort 2014 presentation, the not-so-cheap diffusion line went totally far out and took inspiration from the daisy-chain-wearing flower children of the grooovy sixties.  Quite literal daisy chains...

Summer Hues

May 23, 2013

Summer is all about color and lots of it!  The sun is shining, flowers are bright and blooming, and everyone is ready to ditch those winter greys for something a little brighter. You can apply the color spectrum to almost anywhere: Calypso St. Barth has a fabulous gradient pillow to brighten up your sofa;...

dior takes us away

May 22, 2013

I absolutely adored the 2014 resort presentation from Raf Simons at Christian Dior. Everything was very crisp and polished - as we expect from Dior - but totally ready for a retreat to some Mediterranean resort. Crop tops and bandeaus, bright and bold colors, and wondrously-tailored (while at the same time perfectly...

new finds

May 18, 2013

I decided to seize the opportunity of being home and enjoying the fabulous summer weather to stock up on some summer must-haves at Fashion Valley Mall. I was super pumped about a Madewell opening up in San Diego. As the younger, hipper cousin of J. Crew (which you all know is one of my favorites) it's one of my favorite...

the Great Gatsby

May 12, 2013

With any book-to-movie adaptation there will be critics, but count this girl as a fan - Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby was in my opinion absolutely phenomenal. It was not without fault, of course, but I think Luhrmann's over-the-top style was perfectly suited for showcasing the wild...

Punk Goes Couture

May 8, 2013

The theme of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's fashion exhibition for 2013 is "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" and the stars came out on Monday night for the Met Gala, dressed in studs, safety pins, and everything in between. Some celebrities took great pleasure in the theme and used it as an excuse to wear fun, punk-inspired...
