I am kind of obsessed with Carey Mulligan’s cover spread from this month’s Interview magazine. Grainy black and white photographs intermittently splashed with sheer paint splatters in neon pink and orange. I am loving the cotton striped sweater she wears in photo 2 and the sheer cropped long sleeve number in the last photo. … …

Subversive
My accessories theme continues into this week with a post on one of my favorite jewelry designers: Justin Giunta, creator of Subversive by Justin Giunta and now Deviated by Justin Giunta. I can’t exactly remember when my obsession with Justin Giunta’s work began. I am thinking sometime in the fall/winter of 2007, after his work began…
Resort 2011
I have finally gotten caught up on some things and was able to check out the Resort 2011 womenswear presentations that took place last week in New York. Resort sometimes gets pushed under the rug in the fashion community for being the less-than-significant tweener season between Fall and Spring. But, it does continue to live on. Personally, I always liked the Resort…

My friend Sara informed me early yesterday afternoon that she would be showing up for our Tuesday night wine date in some very special new shoes. She couldn’t wait for me to see them and she couldn’t wait to debut them out on the town. She showed up in Chanel. Beautiful Chanel shoes. The classic…
blue crush
As you can probably tell, I am on an accessories kick. My latest personal accessories crush is these blue jeweled earrings. They are pretty amazing. They’re the kind of earrings that you can just throw on with a white tank top and bed head and you instantly look put together. … …

country mart'ing part 2
The Brentwood Country Mart … A little history: The Brentwood Country Mart first opened on November 18, 1948. It is well-known and loved for its red-board and white trim structure that evokes early American and English country marketplaces, with shops and stalls arranged around a central courtyard. What I especially enjoyed about this shopping center…
country mart'ing
Los Angeles likes its country marts. And I’m glad it does. I like um too. Don’t be fooled by the name, because they aren’t what you’d typically think of as a “mart” – these are actually unique upscale outdoor shopping centers. But the name “country mart” is kind of cute and appealing, right? I am assuming they…
an LA story
Just got back from 3 days in L.A. playing and shopping. Had the best time. As a girl who grew up in Seattle, L.A. is a true novelty to me. It’s like an exotic foreign land. Everyone’s so good looking! And the Sun! And the celebrities! And the shopping. In case you didn’t hear, L.A….
