Fantastic Finds!



It is not a complete surprise that I LOVE designers!  The work and ideas that they come up with are genius. Now, I have a slight obsession with entertaining-given that information, I am thrilled whenever a fantastic find comes my way! Behold, Missoni for Pellegrino! This sparkling water is sure to make my soirées beat out any other. . . in a friendly competitive sort of way. Right? You may recall my last designer post about John Paul Gaultier for Evian? I am sensing a trend here. 


Look alive people,

Head in the clouds.



Ridding out the week on Rodeo Drive, I would like to finish the send off with this enchanting composition by our friends at Hermès. Now I know that this ostrich is sticking her-I feel like it is a woman, call me crazy, head in the sand, but look closely and she is diving right into a lux weekender bag. To me Svettelana-yes, ok, I named her, has her head in the clouds! Heaven if you will, and you better. . . Now like Svette, I am off to have a fabulous weekend! See you all Monday! 

Birds of a feather flock together,

A look inside...


Fall is upon us! Enter the Rick Owens window. Clearly this is the Maxfield boutique on Melrose. It is one of my absolute favorites within the city. It reminds me of a dark emporium that sells artifacts of warriors skulls next to the latest Balmain and Balenciaga collections. A mix of vintage and straight off the runway merchandise makes this concrete box a haven for my scenes. 

Inside these walls are stacks of vintage Louis Vuitton luggage-to the ceiling! Mannequins donned with Chanel flank the luggage to produce ultimate viewing pleasure. I could get lost in this space for house and still not see every little detail the large persona-that is Maxfield


This window is a perfect example of what I mentioned in my last article about interpretation. What is yours?

Time to think,

Karl, it's cold outside. . .


This past week I was in LA  meeting a friend at Barney's on Rodeo in Beverly Hills for lunch. Being so close to the shopping capital of the United States, well the Western hemisphere to be blunt, I simply had to stop by some of my favorite stores.

 I love interpretation. Everyone has their own flair and vision for it. Sure, I could put this CHANEL tunic on Kate Bosworth and the babe would rock it on some red carpet or at a meet and greet. But what enthralls me with the article of clothing, is the story behind it. What inspired Karl to create this, what he went through to draw it out of him. 

The glossy windows that line Rodeo Drive do exactly just that, they all tell a magnificent story. This window here was nothing short of awe-wakening. To take a trip to the Swiss Alps and still have my feet planted in LA was a defiant experience. 


More of my favorites tomorrow peeping toms,

Welcome!

This blog is a reflection of everything that is me. I love and live for fashion. Hmm, I should have put "live" first. Witty, dry, sarcastic, fast loved, warm and endearing are what others describe me as. Not to mention a babe-see there is my sarcasm. My friends are my family and I treat them as such. I love and adore animals especially my two chihuahuas. I love real fur. I am a walking contradiction, just ask the love of my life Brandon. Through my words you will know me, and it will be the real me. Enjoy.
