LOVE the skirt and am drooling over the shoes.

I found the inspiration behind the makeup artist responsible for this disaster.

Can we say Eliza knockoff?

Oh Chanel, How I love you so. Coco would be proud.

Munthe Plus Simonsen SALE!



I was just informed of an amazing SALE over at Munthe Plus Simonsen, another stunning Danish House. I've been a fan since seeing their fashions first hand on the runway, and the details are divine! The 60% off or more sale consists of pieces from S/S 2009 and A/W 2009 colletion.
The best thing is the ship to the USA!
Don't miss the chance to grab some danish designer duds!

My love/hate relationship with heels.





Yes, I love heels. No, I don't wear them as often as I should. "Should" meaning the fact that I work in the Fashion World and by that you are "supposed" to obey the Fashion Gods. Screw that! I make my own fashion rules. My health and pain-free life is more important than balancing upon several inches of hell. BUT. I do believe that heels are an important fashion staple but I just don't agree with wearing them everyday. Red Carpet? Yes. Walking the streets of Manhattan? No, thank you.

Despite my bitterness, here are where you can find these STUNNERS. Kudos to these designers, but would they wear their own creations?

1st row: Priscilla Sandal by Boutique, Kiss & Tell by Poetic Licence, Sassy by Charles David, Ida by Harajuko Lovers

2nd row: Resurrection by Naughty Monkey, Frou Frou Camoscio by DQUARED2, Balenciaga

3rd row: Oscar de la Renta, Sigrid by Gucci, Glamorous Bow by Valentino

4th row: Calandra by Betsey Johnson, Camilla Skovgaard, Camilla Skovgaard, Christian Dior

5th row: Jolie Epoque by Christian Louboutin, Roberto Cavalli, Lanvin


Have a fab weekend! xoxo

Noa Noa SS10 Collection





Is there drool on your keyboard? There is on mine. Noa Noa is by far the best line in Denmark. Maybe if you rally with me we can convince them to open a shop in the US? I adore how Danish women always look so "put together". You will never see a Danish mom in sweats at the grocery store. No, she is in full gear. Scarf, leather boots, earrings, necklaces, layers, including bow in hair. It's fab. It's chic. It's inspiring. It's European. Gotta' love it here.

California Dreamin'

Yes, I am dreaming every day. It's only 20 days in the 1st month of the new year and I have already had some AWESOME personal news, was hospitalized (I'm ok, but more testing next month) and closed several doors and within hours more fab ones were opened! If this is an idea of what 2010 is going to bring for me, then it will be a BUSY year!

As you know I'm living in Denmark now but am moving back to my good ole' home and landing in Los Angeles this summer. So I thought I would share some fab finds I found within the sun-shineeey (yes, it's a word. I made it up.) state!


Crown & Crumpet: San Francisco



SWOON. I have had my eye on Crown & Crumpet for some time now, and can't wait to visit! This absolutely, adorable shop sells over 38 types of teas, yummy scones, and houses a small shop filled with eye candy! (selling online soon!) So next time you are in San Fran. whether it's breakfast or afternoon tea you are craving, stop by this sweet spot and tell me all about it!



Emilie Odeile: Hollywood

These beautiful designs are handmade by Emilie Odeile. I fell in love with the delicate details and the rhinestone embellishments that embrace that perfect chic factor! Whether you are dressing up for a sexy night out or headed to the office, you can find a pair of earrings to suit your style needs. Not located in Hollywood? Click here to purchase products or check out other shops that sell Emile's fab line!


Edge: Nevada City



You can probably guess by now that I LOVE color. Of course I believe every gal needs that perfect LBD and other wardrobe staples in black or gray, but if your closet looks like a dark abyss, then head over to Edge. You can find anything from bags to furniture (even stuffed animals!) covered in bold, vibrant fabrics. Just by shopping their site I instantly feel happy! Need to get through the winter blues? Start prepping early for beach season with mats and beach bags!

Please Donate.

The American Red Cross is taking donations at 90999 (text the word “HAITI” and an automatic $10 donation is made), and you can support the foundation of musician (and Haiti-born) Wyclef Jean by texting the word “Yele” to the number 501501. (Texting takes barely a minute of your time and it is a great way to get involved!)

But beware - there are a bunch of scams surfacing in regards to the disaster and donation efforts! For legit Twitter news regarding Haiti, follow @Wyclef, @YeleHaiti,@CNNBrk and finally @HaitiGoodNews, which tweets the names of people who have been reported safe so family and friends can be aware and to spread hope to others.

Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake and their families, and all the people of Haiti during this difficult time.
