Calling All Men

I love working with men! Most of you hate to shop. Most of you can make a decision in less than 30 seconds, and even more impressive, most of you don’t ask me if I think you look fat in every outfit! In all seriousness, I want to address an issue that I feel most men face. What do I wear when I am not in my daily work uniform or going to the gym? This is an area I find most men struggle with and can use assistance if they do not have an overbearing girlfriend, wife or mother. […]

Bag This

Tis the season of the ever popular trunk shows. I made a few rounds today to my local boutiques to see what I could find. Today’s primary discovery was a handbag line from Los Angeles. Leave it to my very talented friends, Laura Hart and Dana Marron, to bring a little Los Angeles to Laguna Beach. My friends are the owners of Laguna Supply boutique, a local’s mainstay shop in town. They carry a line named after the designer, Mary Jo Matsumoto. Her line of beautiful leather totes boasts to have the same zippers as Celine. Mary Jo […]

Saint Laurent and the Angelitos Card

I attended a private pre shopping soiree at Saint Laurent in South Coast Plaza benefiting Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Orange County. The Angelitos Card 2013 is available for purchase for $60.00, and entitles the bearer to a 20% discount at 120 participating retailers and restaurants in South Coast Plaza from 10/10-10/16 2013. Today I had the good fortune to preview and shop the Saint Laurent collection. I am a huge fan of the collection, however the shoes this season screamed with excitement. The studded t-strap stiletto seduced me to add to my own wardrobe! Fabulous […]

Cruise with Gucci

Stunning day to attend the Shady Canyon Charitable Foundation Inaugural Fashion Show and Luncheon held at the swanky Newport Beach Shady Canyon Golf Club. South Coast Plaza and Gucci helped create a spectacular event benefiting several charities. The highlight of the event was the Gucci fashion show featuring their women’s Cruise Collection 2014. Absolutely breathtaking!!! The runway ran through the middle of the pool and stunning models sauntered down it with the sun glistening off the iridescent fabrics, creating nothing short of perfection! Highlights included amazing fabrics, sexy jumpsuits, fluid silhouettes in metallic, as well as playful prints. It is […]

Beautiful Basics

My Monday find is a hip children’s boutique that just started carrying a fabulous women’s collection. Look no further than in the quaint village of Laguna Beach, Hillary Boutique, whose tag line is, for the little sophisticates, can no longer make that claim. Known for its edgy, New York style for the younger crowd, this gem of a store now caters to the sophisticated woman as well. I love the collection of tailored button down shirts. One can never go wrong with a clean crisp button down and a pair of jeans for a daily uniform. I am also […]

The Ankle Skinny Coated Jean

On my Monday travels to my fav stores in town, Bardot in Newport Beach, I came across a fabulous find for a client. I was trying to find her a leather pant within her budget, seeing as most leather pants can break the bank! Current Elliot, the brand favored by Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Alba among other “A-list” celebs, came out with a coated denim jean –the Ankle Skinny Coated Jean. I picked it up and thought for sure it was leather!! I was shocked at the $188.00 price point! Love the fit of Current Elliot as well as […]

Fashion Frenzy!

A truly amazing day yesterday! Neiman Marcus had their debut fashion show produced by VOGUE Magazine in their CUSP department. Not only am I loving Fall this season, it was a treat to see Vogue’s interpretation of the newest looks. Leather, lace… ….moto boots… …think rocker chic! Great music and an awesome gift with purchase (note my new necklace!) The fun continued with a night of shopping at my good friend and talented jewelry designer, Gianna Gianulli’s house… She hosted a few vendors and had a lovely evening of shopping. G2G designs… fabulous jewelry… I discovered a little Laguna Beach […]

The Perilous Search for Some Good Plaid

Plaid. Most women find it hard to incorporate this trend into their wardrobe in a chic, sexy way. My favorite 3 pieces: Neiman Marcus has a stunning ALC navy plaid silk shirt that is a must! I have seen tons of plaid on my Fall shopping excursions…..all pale in comparison! I was so excited to buy this piece and pair it with jeans and a great brown boot. Leather leggings and heels for a night out, or even trousers with a sweater over for a more tailored workday look. Ron Herman has a casual, weekend plaid shirt by Rails…Super soft […]
