SLEEPING IN SNOW....................






Angelinos having gotten a bit of good fortune lately with the opening of Vanessa Bruno's first stateside store on Melrose.....you will be able to wrap yourself in layers of lace, fur, chiffon and jersey this Fall.....in silhouettes inspired from the 70's, but with a youthful Parisian cool that only she can toss together...... Don't fret NY'ers....we did get the first Isabel Marant store....don't be soo greedy.....I have a feeling we might get one too.........:)

IT'S A LITTLE LIKE ALICE......................











Current Elliott took a look down the rabbit hole this Fall.............snapping pics amongst hedge mazes, reflecting pools, over grown trunks and a bit of polished tea at your service...........they stay true to their vintage inspired silos with antique lace tops, weathered tee's and bold sailor stripes......denim continues to be skinny in vintage washes with repair.........newness is found in military shades and details.......if your looking for a bit of whimsy........check them out this Fall....

LET'S MAKEUP!............................




I'm in LOVE with Guerlain's new Ecrin 6 color eyeshadow palettes......The compact was inspired by a 20's cigarette case which has an intricate filigree cutout design on the cover.....inside there's a foldout mirror and 5 fabulous tonal shades that will last you more than one season.......plus one novelty color just in case you find yourself in the mood for some fun!..........they come in 5 different shade palettes that are named after streets in Paris.......Rue des francs-bourgeois, champs-elysees, rue de passy and rue de sevres........I'm not usually into eyeshadow compacts.....but this one I just had to have......see you out on the town looking for some fun!.......

ROUGH WEEKENDER................

I've been looking for a weekender that already looks like it's been around the world and back without actually having to go......this safari inspired bag from Ralph is definitely it......it's body is weathered canvas and trimmed up antiqued leather.....kind of reminds me of one of those vintage mail totes that you can only buy in Japan or at Melet........I even love the little metal trinkets......so let's get packing....I've got places to go........

I MISS FASHION SCHOOL..........NOT!!!

OK, but I do miss the pretty illustrations....so cute & inspiring!! I've probably forgotten how to draw....not that mine were ever this cute especially after staying up for 72 hours pumping out hundreds of them......Valentino's skinny little lady is a love.....& brings me back to when I thought fashion was all pixie hearts & sawdust stars........those were the days......
