’80s Eel Skin is Back, Baby

October 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

Don’t look at me like that. I never said I was immune to lusting after some outrageously expensive bag that all the celebs are carrying. Here are the stats: Jimmy Choo Carolina Eel and Watersnake Bag ($1,675, jimmychoo.com); carriers include the usual suspects - Rachel Bilson, Madonna, Eva Mendes, Naomi Watts, Demi, Charlize, Lindsay, an […]

September 14th, 2007 · No Comments

I braved my way winding up Benedict Canyon to then catch an SUV up to a Beverly Hills manse to Kari Feinstein’s Style Lounge, a gifting mecca for the Emmy Awards. The lounge, filled with beauty, food, fashion, handbags, jewelry, baby stuff, and more, was set on multiple levels and outside overlooking a spectac view. […]

Twenty8Twelve, Locally and Online

September 12th, 2007 · No Comments

Clearly, there hasn’t been enough coverage of Sienna and Savannah Miller’s new Twenty8Twelve label, and I should add my two cents. Here it is: I really dig this gray silk dress ($457.70, my-wardrobe.com). Also just wanted to note that the line (or whatever’s not sold out of it) is at Neiman Marcus locally and online. […]

Matt Damon, Here’s a Gold Star

July 27th, 2007 · No Comments

Photo Credit: WENNAs you’ve probably gathered, I don’t post much celebrity shit. I really try to avoid the tab stuff for the most part. That, and the whole photo rights things. Prada bought the rights to the WENN image, so I’m in the clear (by the way, Matt Damon’s wearing a khaki cotton suit from […]

Ferragamo Fall ‘07 Eleanora Bag

June 7th, 2007 · No Comments

Whew! For a second there, I thought Shiva Rose McDermott might just have to pay for something she can already afford… OK, she wasn’t the only one - count in Kristin Davis, Angie Harmon, Anjelica Huston, blah, blah, blah - who snagged Ferragamo’s new Eleanora bag for fall ‘07 and some custom Varina ballet flats, […]

The Female Cowl Neck? Yes, Especially This One by Karen Zambos

June 6th, 2007 · No Comments

So, I think you got the idea about how I feel in regard to the male cowl neck. I’m actually a fan of the cowl neck on women. When it plunges, it gives the wearer a pretty neckline, or, like here, when kept closer, it adds a softness that frames the face. This is a […]

Desperately Seeking Reese? Hit Neiman’s

May 25th, 2007 · No Comments

OK, everyone agreed Reese Witherspoon looked fantastic at the Golden Globes - the Nina Ricci dress, the Brian Atwood sandals. I concur. Neiman Marcus is banking on celebrity-obsessed shoppers for its recent email blast featuring a virtually identical ensemble. The neckline’s the difference on the Nina Ricci dress NM currently stocks ($2,890), and the high-priced […]

Seals are the Deal

March 28th, 2007 · No Comments

Count coming home to find a paparazzo in your parking spot one of life’s little annoyances. Though it’s nothing like living off of Robertson, it happens to us on occasion: once Kirsten Dunst and one of the Olsen twins were coincidentally at Joan’s on Third at the same time; another parking jam ensued when America […]
