A Very Merry Christmas

| comments

I hope all of you had wonderful days yesterday. I know I did! Seventy degrees and not a cloud in the sky here in Southern California! After gifts were unveiled and a lovely brunch was served, we hung out poolside eating crackers and brie all afternoon. I know some people dream for white Christmases, but honestly, I love my sunny and bright Christmas!

All We Want is Everything

The holidays are full of wishful thinking, and sometimes we just have to embrace the spirit of the seasons. So here's what would be on my wish list to Saint Nick if he had access to Paris showrooms:

Louis Vuitton Spring 2012
 Kate Moss works that dress, but I could work it even better! (No offense, Kate)
Versace Spring 2012
How cute is this mermaid? The mint and lavender combo is beautiful.
Prada Fall 2011
Because I've always wanted to look like Twiggy
Givenchy Fall 2011
What a clever idea for a pair of glasses! 
Valentino Fall 2011
There is something so classic and yet so fresh about this turquoise leather trench

 Meadham Kirchhoff Spring 2011
I would kill to have a DIY Meadham Kirchhoff crown

Miu Miu Spring 2008
The Harlequin print is exquisite. This is the collection that made me love Miuccia Prada


What would you ask dear old Santa Claus if you could get any couture gift in the world?

Gift Giving 101

| comments

Like it or not, my friends, the holidays are here. And that means...presents! Whether you are giving or receiving little boxes in bows, here are my favorite gifts for every type of trendsetter out there. 

The Whimsical One

For the colorful, bright, energetic, whimsical one
 


The Glamorous One

 For the fancy, sophisticated, elegant, social, glamorous one


The Artsy One

 For the bold, creative, edgy, downtown, witty, artsy one
 


The Cozy One

For the caring, comforting, peaceful, serene, cozy one

We Like to Party

| comments

Pumpkins are smashed on the streets. Costumes are lying on the floor in a corner. And somewhere a Starbucks is setting out their holiday cups once again. Yes, it is November First, also known as the beginning of the Holiday Season!

I know for me the holidays mean parties. From charity luncheons to gingerbread house making parties, everyone has a lot to do. But what to wear!?

Have no fear! I have plenty of tips on what to wear this holiday season!

Thanksgiving Feast
 Thanksgiving is a cozy family holiday, but I always like to look somewhat put together for the feast of the year. A sweater dress or long sleeve frock in a rich hue does just the trick.

Cocktail Party
 Make like tinsel and glitter it up! Be the center of attention with a sparkly mini dress and let the dress do all the talking. Pair with black accessories and you got the glam factor that will get everyone talking.

Baby, it's Cold Outside
Even a California girl like me understands that it gets chilly in the winter, so pick up a perfect coat that can function for any occasion. Black or leopard works for any event and adds sophistication to any ensemble.

Christmas Luncheon
Give that charity luncheon or office holiday party some color in one of these neon power dresses. When everyone else is wearing a pantsuit, all eyes will be on you!

Run-Around-Town Dress
The holidays are a busy time, and sometimes you need a reliable do-anything dress. Look for something long, loose, but polished (nipped at the waist or an elegant neck tie) that you can throw on as you run errands all day. These dresses are perfect because they are one-item outfits. Add some shoes and a handbag and you are ready to go!

Winter Ball

Got a black tie event this holiday season? Make it a high-drama event and go for a daring dress with a brilliant hue, an artsy print, or a daring plunge. Be sure it's a night to remember and a dress that no one will ever forget!
