baby, it's cold outside


rick owens strong shouldered leather jacket $2,720

smythe puff sleeve equestrian jacket, $630

balmain tuxedo wool jacket, $3,985

but not that cold...it is southern california after all! that rick owens jacket kicks ass - it looks better on the body. i am a huge jacket fan - i think i have more blazers and jackets than anything else. they are such great investment pieces - always chic and timeless.

just another manic monday - part two


models flanked the pool in the new jimmy choo line for h&m.

tamara mellon talking to paris & nicky hilton

m.i.a. performed at the party!

this is after several glasses of champagne and many, many appetizers.

the gift bag was this amazing studded bag by jimmy choo for h&m


the gorgeous & lovely pansy toulou from h&m invited me to the jimmy choo/h&m party which took place in a beautiful house in the hollywood hills. the party was hosted by jeffrey katzenberg & tamara mellon along with the amazing h&m crew.
we drank watermelon cocktails and champagne & had the most delicious appetizers. we kept commenting on how hot & sassy all the wait staff were. they really looked as if they came from central casting - only in hollywood!
the party was packed with celebrity sightings....rupaul, cheryl tiegs, kate walsh, anthony kiedis, rashida jones, all the hiltons, harry hamlin & wife lisa rinna, sheryl crow, waris, brent ratner and on & on! m.i.a. performed several songs & brought along her adorable son - he had little earphones on and was so super cute.
after cookies were served we were given this great studded zebra bag as our parting gift.
the line is super cute - there were several pieces i already want - a pair of leather leggings and a sequined tunic were both great. i can see "the kids" wearing the fringed dress and jumpsuit... overall i think the line is really nice. and of course, the shoes!
i'm a huge fan of h&m and their collaborations are always top notch and jimmy choo for h&m will not disappoint!
see more pictures here

just another manic monday - part one


one of danielle's (MANY) bags & the dior gift bag

the dior gift bag....the lip polish smoothing lacquer is amazing!!

i started out the evening with my friend danielle at the dior party which took place at the sunset tower in los angeles. i saw alot of old friends and got this fab gift bag. i am serious addicted to the lip polish smoothing lacquer.

start saving....



carla bruni-sarkozy sold her family castle, castello di castagneto po, near turin to billionaire saudi businessman prince alwaleed bin talal for between $12 million and $25 million in february. he has now relisted it with an affliliate of christie's great estates for $28 million. although the castle has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt over the years it is believed to date from the year 1019. her father, billionaire industrialist alberto bruni tedeschi, bought the estate in 1952 for around $1.5 million. the 40 room estate, 21, 000 sq. ft. and is surrounded by 175 acres and includes ancient greenhouses, a caretaker's house and a farm building.
if only i could find that $28 million....maybe it's in my other purse?
