watch out

If you're a big time, man eating, pimped out player and have multiple boyfriends that reside all over the world, numerous watches may come in handy. One per time zone will guarantee a slick game. Otherwise, I'd imagine it's a great conversation starter. With three watches lining your wrist, how many times do you think someone will "cleverly" ask for the time (cue scene of cheese ball-meat head approaching you)?

topshop fall. yes, please!

When I lived in London, besides the flea markets (Portebello Market was by far my fav) and the occasional splurge at Harrods, I pretty much exclusively shopped at Topshop. The clothes were excellent, affordable and unattainable back home which meant purchases fell into the "memento" category on the shopping budget. Plus, the Oxford St. location had the most insane candy bins, I'm talking every yummy treat one can imagine. I still have dreams about digging a shovel into mounds of swedish fish while sucking on mini jaw breakers as I compile my goody bag.

Anywhooooo, now that I've traded fish and chips and pints of beer for a macrobiotic veggie burgers and lead free water I have just one question, whyyyyyyyy isn't there a Topshop in LA?

More deets on the fall lookbook here.

Checked out new spot, 'The Roger Room,' last night; secret door, yummy drinks, cool vibe, I like. Afterward, we went to Nobu for my boyfriends ex-girlfriends birthday dinner. Am I the girlfriend of the year or what?

minty fresh

Hold the phone! Both Lulu and my roomie sent an image of Peter Philips’ dreamy, limited edition, jade lacquer for Chanel's Fall 2009 collection this morning and therefore I must share.

Unfortunately, the Chanel collection (joined by a jade rose shade) won't be released until October so I took the liberty of finding an available and cheaper solution for your next mani, Gargantuan Green Grape by OPI. Sidenote, outside of this shade OPI has an pretty extensive and unreal matte collection. You can thank me later (I prefer dark over milk chocolate but will accept fine jewelry if you must!).

Matte nails are the new neon!

vanessa and victoria traina

The daughters of romance novelist Danielle Steele and John Traina; Victoria and Vanessa are two of my favorite to keep an eye on.

It's the little things, their simplistic approach with a surprising off beat hem or the unexpected layers of ruffles as seen here on their way to the Givenchy Haute couture show. Yeahhhh, that's how they roll.

This archive is a bit older but their style is so fresh that you almost couldn't tell, it's full of inspirational goodies, promise: Girl Crush: Victoria and Vanessa Traina

Does anyone else organize their little gems (rings, earrings, pins) in ice cube trays? I swear, it's genius.

pillow planter

Succulents are great plants: they live long, require very little and are cool to look at let alone touch.

How rad do they look in this White Resin Pillow Planter/Table Vase?

Adorable and useful. Check plus.

animal prints.

On my mind and covering my bod.

Prints of all types are my current go to. Some days I overdue the pattern mixing and look as though I was dressed by a Kindergarten class, it's pretty liberating, especially after the winter 'all black' days.

Danny Roberts

For the last couple of years I've delightfully followed artist and blogger, Danny Roberts. His penchant for the arts and playful aesthetic send me into whimsical dreams painting after painting.

I was pretty excited and frankly shocked when he emailed me this portrait which is part of a larger project he is working on, the blogger portrait series.

Be sure to check out his blog here, I promise it is a treat: igorandandre.blogspot.com.

Thank you again, Danny! I feel touched and honored to be a part of your work.

interwebzzzz

The blog world opens the door to all sorts of new opportunities and people, Friday was a testament to that. 10 or so of us broke out of our shells and got together, most of us simply friends through the blogosphere that had never met before. A girl from ELLE, one who previously worked for Italian Vogue, an online vintage store owner, a famed blogger, an executive at Ford models, 2 publicists and others.

The night started at the Volcom/Nylon party where the models and Dani Stahl were rocking these crazy bobby pin fauxhawks. The hair was pretty unreal but I have a feeling that no matter how many cans of hairspray I go through it just won't happen for me. Hair that fierce calls for a professional.

Afterward we went to dinner and met up with Sophia from Nasty Gal Vintage who is an absolute doll. A few pasta dishes and lots of yapping later we rolled over to the Roosevelt for Justin Timberlake's rooftop party in honor of his new "901" tequila. There we met up with Jackie from Some Notes on Napkins and schmoozed for hours until the place was shut down.

It's pretty wonderful to meet girls from all over who share similar interests. I wish I had better and more pictures but my camera flash started smoking, literally, I know, weird. Fun timezzzz and many more to come!

Dress, h&m. Vest, vintage. All jewelry vintage except the spike cuff which is from Nasty Gal (Thank you, Sophia!).

updating

Loved my friend Rebecca's combination of a bad 80's dress from forever she lost the receipt for and an AA mini. Check it.

I have a few of those bad purchases w/ no receipts I can go update. I bet you do too!

yowwwza

I think my dad would lock me in the house if I attempted to walk out in these 'Pretty Woman' looking boots. My grandpa on the other hand may agree with my grandma that they are really cool and then would proceed to make some sort of joke.

I hope everyone has a happy father's day! Especially you, dad and papa. xoxo
