Hot boots from the Elizabeth and James Fall 2010 line…I’m a fan.

There’s still time to get one of these fab swimsuits by my dear friend Natalie Golonka, Owner/Designer of Jungle Gurl. She just launched a new website featuring her 2010 campaign and its fierce. Check out photos below and let me know what you think.

As always, I love hearing form you.

I know its still Summer but truth be told I’m a huge fan of Fall/Winter fashion. I love layers and jackets, sweaters and boots so I’m absolutely ready for the change of season. I also live in LA and for me Fall/Winter does not equal snow/cold. Instead it just means grab a jacket for when the sun goes down.

Isabel Marant’s Fall/Winter 2010/11 line makes me all warm and tingly inside. She has flawlessly combined all my favorites (how did she know?!): chunky knits, fierce jackets, skinny pants, boy meets girl looks with touches of sequin…yay! Check out photos from her show and the sick campaign shot featuring Kate Moss.  Would you rock these looks? Leave a comment and share.

Acne Sometimes you just have to take risks.

Yay Summer is officially here and the 4th of July is THIS Sunday! Do you know what you’re wearing?

Here are 3 different looks you can rock depending on your Holiday plans and what you’re comfortable wearing. I made it a one-stop shopping affair…so each complete look can be purchased at ONE location or online site. (American Apparel, Forward by Revolve or Urban Outfitters) Happy Shopping and have a safe and glorious holiday!

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.

The Met Ball is the one night of the year where celebrity starlets can really take risks with their ensembles…its basically a designer costume party. The who’s who of Hollywood and fashion are all in attendance and the only real purpose of the night is to show off your fabulous digs…Dress like a princess, dress like a call girl but whatever you do Go Big Or Go Home!
