Inspiration for 2012: Hudson Jeans Invites You to Start Off With a Bang!

 

 

We've all made those New Year's resolutions. Some have been kept and others already broken - willpower be damned! But...here's some inspiration from the crew over at Hudson Jeans. And I know this comes truly from the heart because I know they roll over there...  "What will you do today that will make you proud in a year?" When you make the resolution list, put it in perspective, and then take action. Because truly the goals worth achieving, begin with a single step and any amount of hard work and sacrifice. So, aim high and take a step every day. When 2013 rolls around, you will truly be proud. Ready, get set, go.....it's going to be a great year!!

XOXOXO

SHARP Shooters: Meet Paris Fashion Week's Chic Bloggers

 

VogueNippon.talk and VOGUEette blogger Amilus Chou in Viktor & Rolf dress

 

 

 

Bloggers have become the darlings of the fashion scene. Not only are they blogging about fashion, but they are looking chic while they're doing it. 2011 was the break out year for the street scene. And now bloggers are establishing their own fashion identities while capturing some of the chicest looks on the street. While covering runway shows in Paris, I took a moment to capture some of the sharp shooters on the front lines of Paris Fashion Week.

Wishing You A Very, Very, Chic Holiday!!

 

 

 

The holidays are all about taking time to spend with family, friends and loved ones. Celebrating Christmas also includes the tradition of sending holiday cards. This season I've received cards, videos and even extra special music - ie Resurrection's Holiday Playlist - to ring in the season. For my 3rd annual "Happy Holidays" post, I picked some of my favorites sent from friends and colleagues in the fashion biz. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have. Wishing you and yours a VeryVeryChic Holiday!!

XOXOXO

Harrods of London Enlists Florence + The Machine to Open its Christmas Sale - #Awesome

 

 

 

How do you create a hot Xmas sale??

Ask Florence + The Machine to open it with an exclusive performance - and then livestream it. And you initiate a Twitter campaign so her fans can ask her questions. That's what's happening at Harrods of London on Dec. 27 at 8:45 am. Fashion collabs are becoming the status quo, so it was only a matter of time before a retailer would harness the power of music - in this case - the stylish fashion icon known as Florence Welch. Tune in for the livestream to get your Florence fix, but I also recommend checking the site when the online sale begins at 6 pm on the 24th. There are some some very chic picks in "The Holiday Shop" to take you from the city to the ski slopes and to the beach - just in time for your holiday travels. Also catch "The Best Dressed List" for 2011 and "One's To Watch" for 2012 in the stores' chic online mag, The Review.

Miu Miu - Me-ow!!

The Lady is a Vamp

 

 

 

There's no question Lady Gaga has a flair for the dramatic. And her January feature in Vanity Fair is simply exquisite. Shot by Annie Leibowitz, it captures Gaga in her avant garde fashion element. Hats have been all the rage this year - think the Royal wedding - but this beautiful red ensemble by Atelier Versace outdoes them all. The intro to the feature here and don't miss the slideshow of her evolving style. Vanity Fair has compiled 49 of her most memorable looks over the past decade or more.


 

Styling the Michael Antonio Holiday Lookbook

LLOYD KLEIN COUTURE silk jersey gown. GLYNNETH B earrings. WESTERN FASHION rhinestone bracelets.

 

 

How do you get dressed up for the Holidays? With the right shoes of course.

Recently, I was asked to style the Michael Antonio Holiday lookbook featuring 'It Girl' Caroline D'Amore. The concept was to shoot Caroline celebrity paparazzi style in Los Angeles. Photographer Mike Rosenthal was brought in to capture the Hollywood glam-meets-lifestyle look. From the chic loft to shopping in downtown and to the club for the party, here are key looks from Michael Antonio's Paparazzi Holiday collection. The collection is available online and if you're in Los Angeles, you're in luck. The Michael Antonio Pop-Up Store is open until Dec. 22 at 517 W. 7th St in downtown LA. Get your shoes and boots for the holidays. And the clothing? It's all available. Click, click the links to get the look. A special thank you to everyone who helped with this shoot.

Happy Holidays!

Beck X Autumn De Wilde Book Launch: A Pictorial

 

 

 

 

What do Rodarte and Beck have in common? Autumn De Wilde.

Both are frequent subjects of the talented photographer, and now, De Wilde has published a new book of photographs dedicated to Beck, a longtime friend and muse. It also features a behind-the-scenes Q&A between the pair to boot. I stopped by Bookmarc in Los Angeles to check out the action at the signing and release party. The photos say it best.

G-Star RAW Opens on Rodeo - Chic Crowd Included

 

Mark Ronson

 

 

 

A very chic crowd turned out to celebrate G-Star's opening of its first "Raw" denim store on Rodeo Dr.  With mega-producer Mark Ronson spinning tunes and French actress and G-Star's new campaign model, Clemence Poesy, on the red carpet, the party made Rodeo Dr. history with its uber-cool factor. We stopped by to check out the action at the filled to capacity store and, yes, what they were wearing. G-Star denim, of course. Anton Corbijn, Joel McHale, Mischa Barton, Zelda Wiliams and True Blood's Ryan Kwanten were just a few of the guests in attendance. For more photos, check SocialiteLife.com
