Coral Lips, Navy Hips



For Spring/ Summer 07, I suggest breaking out of the clear gloss for day and red lips for night- try something new; coral lips!



This look is best pulled off with a light eye, prominent brows and a coral pout. You will look so fresh and modern. Even better, coral looks great on every skin tone!

Ida Ida Ida!



A beautiful Swedish designer with two lines: Ida Sjostedt, and the sister line, IDA.

Her clothing have been described as:

"Tasteful kitsch or tongue-in-cheek elegance are two ways of describing Ida Sjöstedts design philosophy. Her aim is to create beautiful, sexy clothes for women who don’t take dressing up too seriously –and who see fashion as something fun rather than as a must."

You can just imagine Chloe Sevigny, Maggie Gyllenhaal or Jenny Lewis wearing Ida's designs all the while pulling off that effortless chic indie style.

I am really loving every piece. See her Spring 2007 Collection here.

A few cheeky pics from the sister line, Ida.



I am really excited to see what is next for this line- as I am so impressed with every piece! I am wanting more and really do not want to wait until Fall! What do you think of Ida's designs?

Spec-tacular

As fall gears up for the Smart-Oxford look- streets/bars/clubs/(and runways?) are filling up with geek-chic fashion followers.



All the specs you see are from shuron ltd. They have been making frames for a long time, and just their luck- the frames are in style again! I just picked up the Freeway frames- very inexpensive ($70.00) compared to the Oliver Peoples ($300.00)

If you are not really blind like so many of us- but want to look cool- buy cheap sunglasses and knock out the lenses!

Hot Shoes for Under $130

Steve Madden is great when you want new shoes- and have little time (or money) to agonize over a major purchase of like designer item. All of these styles are runway worthy- and will keep your budget handy for that summer holiday you've been planning all spring. Now, get shopping, stevemadden.com

Cruise Control: Chanel Resort 2008

Location: Santa Monica Airport



Lagerfield did a 70s spin while installing the same elegance Chanel gives every season. Resort is always more playful and lighter than the Fall Collection but the color palette is never too far off from the season prior. I love the periwinkle and red combination; and it looks like minis, high-waisted pants, long dresses and headbands (a few of this springs standouts) are here to stay! Frankly- I couldn't be more happy about it, as those shapes have been so influential in fashion history.







Olsen's "The Row" Look book.





You can shop barneys.com or if you live in LA, Maxfield. I love their classic- simple- always sexy effect to everything they touch!

So, what do you think? Have they come a long way from their Walmart lines?

Indie girl style, Jenny Lewis

Indie Fashion girl of the moment, Jenny Lewis is:

"Jenny Lewis is a singer and a songwriter from Los Angeles, California. She’s got hair the color of a Pacific sunset, a voice as sweet as an ice cream cone, and a wit sharper than a razorblade"



Look out for her in the near future- as she will be one to style copy soon. I just love her sweet & smart look.

Watch out for... United Bamboo



Taking over the casual chic market that is booming in NYC, United Bamboo declares itself as the "indie" brand that wants to dress those who know how to dress. You can find this line at the oh-so-cool-that half of the cool people haven't heard of it boutique- Opening Ceremony. (More info on this boutique later)
