This is best news. The shoes look amazing thus far. I cannot wait.

Kim Kardashian in Nice, France


Tres chic, non? There is just something about the French, c'est le "je ne sais quoi", and it has apparently rubbed off on Kim. She actually looks fashion forward for once - like she can actually pronounce the names of the designers she's wearing. I'm sorry but if you can't pronounce the name of the design house that you're wearing, such as Givenchy or Guy Laroche, then you probably shouldn't be wearing it. These clothes look like they actually belong on her, which is not usually the case. The key is to not look "American", and please no one take offense to that. I mean "American" in the stereotypical way. Let's be honest: Kim is STUNNING, but her style is not exactly effortless. This is definitely a step in the right direction. Plus, she is carrying a bag from Lanvin - so she is officially on my good side.

Fendi Casa

I need to state for the record how much I love Fendi Casa. I love their asthetic - very clean and luxurious. I also love how detailed their pieces are.

I Have To Make An Announcement

Hello everyone. I just need to take the time to make an extraordinary announcement: My cuzo, mi prima, just gave birth to her first child, A. Milan, this morning in California. ALL NATURAL! I am so completely happy I don't know what to do with myself. A. is the first child to be born from any of us (the kids - although we're not exactly kids anymore, lol) so this is a huge deal. I just want to get in my car and drive down from Seattle to meet the little one. This is truely what life is about - celebrating life, each other and the little gifts we receive along the way. Love you, E. Truly.

My Future Home - Park Hyatt, Seoul, South Korea



Ideally this "apartment" would be located in Hong Kong, but Seoul is an extraordinary city as well. I love modern architecture - clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, fabulous city - what more could you ask for?

Dolce & Gabbana - The Make-Up Collection


Uber Designers, Dolce & Gabbana, have finally decided to launch a make-up collection! The collection, which draws it's inspiration from both "Hollywood Glamour" and "Dreamy Mediterranean Coastlines", is truly exhibition of luxury, or "La Dolce Vita", the good life. The product, which continues in the vain of the Gabbana perfume "The One" in terms of packaging, features Scarlett Johannson as a modern day Marilyn Monroe. The lipstick alone excites me - the texture looks incredible. What's even more exciting is that the website features application tips by none other than Pat McGrath, artist extraordinaire.
One of the things I love the most, aside from the packaging, is that no one is forgotten. A lot of the time, I feel, designers forget or fail to realize that there are more than a few shades of women who purchase their products. This is a collection for everyone. There are pallets for fair skinned women as well as women of color. This fact highlights one of the main reasons why Dominico and Stefano are loved by women all around the globe - it's the fact that we know they love us right back.

I cannot believe how completely chic Rachel Roy's clothes are. Even more surprising is that it all comes from the (ex) wife of a hip-hop mogul - which is partly to blame for her lack of recognition. For someone who is fairly new by designer standards, her clothes are remarkably finished. They are American but with a Parisanne flair - her latest resort collection featured chicest trench coat I've seen outside of Burberry. The trousers are just long enough, the dresses just chic enough...it's time Ms. Roy received some much deserved recognition from the fashion world.

Behind the Scenes - Must Be Love

So as I've stated before, I love anything that has to do with the "making of" something. I think it's nice to see the development of a project and all the things that go into the finishing. It's also nice to hear Cass speak - she seems really genuwine.

Victoria Beckham in Antonio Berardi


I saw this and my mouth literally hit the floor. I am floored. I would totally wear this! Most of the time I see celebs, and I totally love what they're wearing, but I wouldn't necessarily go out and buy it. But Vic! You have out done yourself, officially. There was literally a :30 second window between my seeing this set of photographs and posting them. It is that serious!

In Focus - Fabiola Beracasa


Oh la la...Fabiola! I love the sense of "quirk" that she infuses into everything. Here she is at the opening of the Marni boutique in uptown NYC. Everything looks so effortless and well put together, and yet you can still see her personality shining through.

Epoch of Innocence - Masha Novoselova

Masha is one of the newer models on the scene, and I have found myself really admiring her work lately. She reminds me alot of Eva Herzagova...simply stunning.
