She’s a jewelry designer, blogger and actress and most importantly she’s rad. Check out her sick designs below and meet Mr. Kate.

Seriously. I used to have an iPhone and had to give it up in exchange for actual cell phone reception. Though, when I recently saw these cases by Exovault, I almost said f**k it. There still exists a very selfish part of me that is hesitant to even publish this post because I may one day choose fashion over functionality and want to be the only one I know with this case!!! There I said it.

If you have an iPhone, what are you waiting for?

Introducing, Chanel in Khaki Rose, Khaki Brun and Khaki Vert. Hitting stores on September 10th in honor of Fashion’s Night Out. My tip: stay away from Khaki Brun if your complexion is tan, brown or black it could look like you have no nails if you know what I mean. Otherwise Happy Polishing!

I’ve always been a BIG fan of headbands, especially worn across my forehead. Sometimes I would get made fun of because I would literally rock one everyday. They were and are an easy fix for keeping my front hair out of my face. I HATE hair in my face! Plus I think they just look adorable…on everyone.

So headbands all around!

All headbands from Urban Outfitters and American Apparel.

I’ve been wanting to check out TOMS Shoes for a while now and finally got around to it today. I ordered a pair of red classics for me and charcoal cordones for Damien then I read up on Blake Mycoskie, CEO and Founder of TOMS Shoes and I was instantly touched and impressed! What a novel idea…create a company for profit that ALSO helps children in need. I LOVE IT! “TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we’re all about. The TOMS One for One business model transforms our customers into benefactors, which allows us to grow a truly sustainable business rather than depending on fundraising for support.”

So basically those 2 pairs of shoes that will come in the mail for me and Damien in about 3 business days will ALSO provide 2 pairs of shoes to two children in need. How great is that?! Why can’t every business do that?! Imagine a world where every time you bought a book, or CD, or pair a jeans that same item was provided to kids and families in need all over the world! It’s truly a spectacular idea that I hope all businesses will one day strive for.

TOMS are available for men, women and children. Here are some of my favorite pairs below. These kicks are PERFECT for Summer, so pick a pair today! You’ll be happy you did. Trust me…Its amazing how a little act of giving can make you feel. Wooohooo!

Its Summer Time! So let’s go shopping. Here are 5 of my favorite Summer Essentials. Read below for shopping links and “How To” wear them. Leave me a comment and let me know what’s your favorite essential. And as always, feel free to ask me any styling questions you may have. Happy Shopping!

#1 Blazers & Jackets: Military Jackets are BIG this season and perfect to throw over girly pieces to “edge it up” a bit. (Urban Outfitters $48) Ivory, Cream or Off-White Blazers will dress up everything in your closet. They look chic and polished and the light colors are a dreamy replacement to your black Boyfriend Blazer for Summer. (Ann Taylor LOFT $89.50)

#2 Floral Print Dresses: Floral dresses were hot for Spring and continue on into the Summer. They’re great when you want to stay cool and be comfy but still look fabulous. Wear them with strappy flats or earth toned wedges. (Kimchi Blue $58 & J Crew $250)

#3 Loose Fit Pants: Perfectly paired with a tank, vest or light jacket these pants are a fun twist on Summer fashion. Have fun with patterns and colors and make sure the fit is loose NOT baggy…roll up the bottoms, throw on some wedges and viola! A hip, trendy look for all body types. (What Goes Around, Comes Around $194.45 & J Brand $216)

#4 Slouchy Shorts: The days of Daisy Dukes are long gone…so please don’t wear them! Instead opt for slouchy jean or chino shorts; they are way more comfortable and a lot more classy. Try wearing them with a sheer or lace girly top and a pair of Keds…its a feminine and casual look you can rock all Summer long. (The Gap $50 & Son of John Sequin Trim $152)

#5 Pastels & Neons: Whether its a skirt, shirt or pair of pants get adventurous this Summer with pastel and neon colors! But please don’t over do it. Limit your look to ONE item of pastel or neon and make sure the rest of your outfit is basic. American Apparel is dominating in the color palettes so visit your local store and go crazy. (All American Apparel: Skirt $54, Tank $15 & Slim Slacks $73)

FINALLY! A mainstream clothing line got it right! An uber fashionable & fierce collection that is also SAFE for the environment…This is very very exciting!

H&M just launched a totally eco-friendly clothing collection at all of their stores!  It’s called The Garden Collection, and is inspired by chlorophyll-green gardens, sundrenched landscapes, and 70s hippie chic flower power.
Everything in the collection is made using organic or recycled materials, like recycled bottles, textile waste, organic cotton, organic linen, and recycled polyester. YAY!

Check it out below and let me know what you think. I want to go shopping…NOW!

Then go buy MELODY EHSANI!

Here’s a glimpse of this sassy Accessory & Shoe Designer’s latest collection. It’s daring, fun, edgy and beautiful; plus check out the SICK campaign. I want it all. Seriously, all of it…now.

On my recent flight from LAX to JFK I noticed something I could no longer ignore: women looking like slobs when flying! Yeah ok, I get it, you want to be comfortable…its a long flight…blah, blah, blah. But there’s a way to be comfortable and still look fabulous! So please give your Uggs and Juicy Couture sweatsuits to charity…NOW!

5 Clothing Items (you probably already own) That Are Comfy & Still Stylish:

1. Flats: Throw on a pair of fashionable flats! Whether ballet black, printed or fleece moccassins, flats are a great comfy alternative to Uggs. They are easy to slip on and off at airport security and they look feminine and chic.

2. Cotton or Jean Leggings: Leggings are a way more put together looking than sweats and equally as warm and comfortable! Plus no belt needed so you wont get held up at security.

3. Long Cardigan, Sweater or Coat: Invest in a fashionista fun sweater or coat that covers your bum and keeps you warm. We all know how chilly an airplane can get and since no one offers blankets anymore…bring your own! In the form of apparel.

4. Stylish Scarf: Its pretty hard to NOT look totally awesome when you’re rocking a kick-ass scarf. Scarves are the ultimate accessory because they really can bring any outfit from boring to WOW! Its also a great airplane tool for covering your face when your rude neighbor rips a stinky one (you know what I’m talking about)

5. Carry-On Bag: A shopping bag is NOT an acceptable carry-on bag! Even if its a “designer” shopping bag like Barneys or Saks! Luggage can be pricey but its a total investment and can make traveling so much easier. Invest the money…its worth it! Have fun with colors, styles and prints. But make sure its a sensible fun, you don’t want to spend money on a pattern or color you’re gonna be sick of after your 3rd trip.

In honor of Earth Day, I want to tell you about two great designers producing Earth friendly fashion: Jungle Gurl & People Tree. Check out their stories and photos below, visit their sites, and let me know what you think. HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Jungle Gurl: The concept is simple, eco-science and yet ever-so chic. Take vintage fabrics that the former model-cum-actress-cum-designer, Natalie Golonka, has amassed over years of global travel and rework them into fabulously flattering one-of-a-kind bikinis. The first of which were quickly snapped up by LA notables Fred Segal and Planet Blue, and have since spread to several boutiques across the country. Hot!

People Tree: All you need to learn more about this UK based fashion company is their very insightful Mission Statement.
