I met my dear friend Lissie about 4 years ago and when I first heard her sing I thought “Damn! How can one person be so freaking talented!” Seriously her voice is outstanding!…Soulful, emotional and rich. She recently did a cover of Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance. Its pretty bad-ass. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I love being inspired by photography. It puts me in a creative mood and gives me countless ideas on how to wear my clothes. Check out these beautiful pics by photographer Marlene Marino and Be Inspired!
It’s about that time in both the West and East coasts to put away the opaque tights for Spring and Summer and transition to bare legs! Get the razors out ladies and embrace some skin. If you’re anything like me, the transition can feel weird at first. You just spent the last 6 or 7 months rocking all sorts of fun tights with your skirts, dresses and shorts and now with weather in the 70s it just feels weird. Well here are a few great tip to help with with the switch over:
Here are some photo examples. (Click on the image for larger view) Happy Transitioning!
When you don’t tuck in button-down shirts that are too long you end up looking sloppy and bigger (as in fatter) than you are. Throw on a belt and show off your waist! Its a much more polished and “put together” look.

Living in Los Angeles, I sometimes forget that most women outside of LA have “normal” office jobs to dress for. It can definitely be a challenge to come up with fun, comfortable & affordable yet chic and fashionable clothes day after day. Here are some looks I love, that you can find at your local mall. These items are staple pieces that can be mixed and matched with all the basics in your closet. Click the image for a larger view.

A warm day on the West and East coast can only mean one thing…SPRING is just around the corner! Time to put away your Winter knits and break out the delicate florals. Here are some Must Haves for Spring. Jump to the bottom to learn how to wear them. Click on the image for a larger view.
#1 Neutral Wedges: Pair these comfy shoes with floral dresses, shorts or skinny jeans. The lighter color is great for Spring and looks hot with a bright colored pedicure.
#2 Floral Print Dresses: Girly, comfortable and sexy all in one! Have fun by accessorizing with your favorite thick OR skinny belt. You can rock Vans, Keds, Converse or Vintage combat boots to add a little boyish flair to a very girly look.
#3 Khaki Trench Coat: April showers bring May flowers right? Well, don’t let a little rain make you any less fashionable. Throw on a sexy trench and make sure to belt it so you don’t look sloppy.
#4 Black Dress Shorts: Great for Spring AND Summer (though for Summer I would save them for evening wear) pair these classy black shorts with a silk blouse or tucked in button down. Whatever top you choose, try tucking it in…it’ll give you more shape and a much more polished look.
#5 Bralet Top: Take your undies out of the bedroom but not in a trashy way 
Try a bralet under a thin button down shirt with the top 3 or 4 buttons open. Or for my brave ladies with the tight abs, go for the bralet alone BUT wear it with a high-waisted bottom so your belly button is hidden. Generally speaking belly button showing = no bueno.
Please leave a comment and let me know what you’re shopping for this Spring.
I recently had the pleasure of shooting with Aaron Feaver of Feaverish Photography. I threw on some of my favorite everyday pieces and channeled the model within. No make-up, no hair stylist. Just me. Scary. Fun.

Lady Gaga & Beyonce the two baddest (as in good) ladies in the music biz tear it up in this brand new vid TELEPHONE! In a time when its hard to keep the average ADD webviewer’s attention for more than 3 minutes, Gaga & Beyonce give you 9 1/2 minutes of visual ecstasy. Trust me, you will want more. The costumes are outrageously fantastic and FIERCE and the story line is simple but oh so fun.
I wanna be Lady Gaga AND Beyonce when I grow up!
A few months ago my good friend, actor Josh Pais, became my newest client. We were shopping in NYC and stumbled upon the J Crew Men’s Shop! It was unlike any other J Crew I’ve ever seen. The shop took the spot of the historic Liquor Store Bar, the only NYC landmark that served liquor. The 925 square foot space is divided into two rooms, with most of the old school bar fixtures still intact. Reasonably priced, these clothes were not your usual J Crew fare. Preppy polos were replaced by fitted, chic buttons downs, slim fit jeans, kick-ass shoes and designer jackets and blazers. And the sales associates were beyond helpful and super fashion savvy.
Here are some great looks you can purchase online...but if you find yourself anywhere near NYC, give the store a visit. Its quite the shopping experience!
I just installed a new widget to my sidebar today. (Also included in this post) Its an ASPCA widget that you can click on to donate; your donation will go towards my $500 goal. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world.

Damien and I have 3 wonderful pets: Hayden, Dakota & Gazpacho. They are all rescues and they are everything to us. We decided today that we should try to help other precious pooches and kitties just like them and would love your help. Give whatever you can, even a dollar makes a difference. Thank You!
