Stylist Tip of the Week: Pearly Whites
When Vogue dedicates an entire article to one accessory---you'd better stock up. This fall, fashion is a kaleidoscope of influences, flavors and inspirations: the 80's rocker, the Napoleonic comeback, layered layers and even a dash of neo-Grunge, yet underlying all of this visual debauchery is a solid foundation of classic chic and stoic elegance. Enter, Coco Chanel; goddess of all things fashionable. Christian Dior once said, "With a black pullover and ten rows of pearls, she revolutionized fashion." A pearl is all at once elegance, history, and the essence of what it means to be a woman; to take an ordinary grain of sand and transform it into a gem of luminescent wonder. A favorite jewel of fashion icons Coco, Marilyn, Princess Di, Jackie O, Madonna and the like, a strand of pearls will go miles this season. Raid Mom's jewelry box, hunt for some costume strands, or treat yourself to an investment that will last a lifetime. Layering different sizes and lengths is de rigueur, not to mention looping a strand around the wrist for an effortless dash of posh that's perfect for martini clinking! Combine your strands with other funky baubles and charms for an ultra-modern look this season. |

Designer of the Week: The Secession
Headed by Los Angeles-based artist, Bryden Lando, The Secession is more than just a clothing line, but one chapter of a larger art movement. The project seeks to withdraw from the status quo and redefine the perimeters of artistic expression and freedom through a multi-faceted movement. The group has dipped into an array of media including fashion, film, and music to keep their work as dynamic and interactive as possible. Secession tees and tanks combine an original artist's design with a dash of smart humor on an ultra-soft cotton canvas. Our favorites include the top-selling, "I Uzi L.A." tee; a polarizing favorite of Angelinos and East Coasters alike and their "Save the Humans" tank featuring concerned whales. Made by the artists for a forward thinking generation, Secession fashion is truly a unique piece of art. |

Celebrity Blog: She’s bringing skinny back!
Well, it looks like Cameron Diaz has definitely lost a some of the weight she gained recently, but I have to ask myself, is it too much? That could be the arm of Nicole Richie, and that's never a good thing! However, Cam does look hot here, with a glowing tan and shiny blonde locks, at her man Justin Timberlake's concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. Now that he is about to blow up again with the release of his new album, she is keeping a firm grip on Justin! If you want to get Cameron's stylish nighttime look, start with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, like our Siwy Hannah Slim Crop Jean in Midnight, which are perfect for tucking into boots because of the shorter, straighter length. A cute puff sleeve top, like our Three Dots Short Sleeve Henley in White really accentuates a tan, and is perfect for a night out on the town because it's not too dressy. Accessorize with a black hobo bag, like our Aaneta Small Cleopatra Bag in Black and add on funky earrings, very similar to our Jenna White Triple Diamond Earrings in Blue Topaz, and you're all set. As far as Justin and Cammy, I either smell an engagement, or else it's Splitsville, population 2! |
