Rodeo Drive Dreams on a Larchmont Budget
July 1, 2011 · Leave a Comment
No matter whether you were born in LA, have been here for a few years, or are a recent transplant, if you consider yourself a true fashionista then you are no doubt inexplicably drawn to the fashion mecca known as Rodeo Drive. You can have no more than a few George Washington’s in your velcro Hello Kitty wallet yet want to feel like you’re a part of the game and giggle your way down the street; camera and amateur paparazzi eye on the ready. Funny looks and snobby sales associate side-eyes aside, there is nothing more fun, or inspiring, than entering a boutique you have absolutely no business... [Read the full story]

LA Fashion Label: DIMEPIECE DESIGNS
April 21, 2011 · 1 Comment
In the midst of all the top name designers presenting in the tents at New York Fashion Week it’s easy to forget all the talent Los Angeles has right in its own backyard. Often underrated, LA based fashion labels that are actually owned and operated creatively by Southern California natives have an undoubted understanding of how we want to dress. DIMEPIECE DESIGNS is the perfect example. The duo behind DIMEPIECE, Laura Marie Fama and Ashley Jones, both California natives, do it all. They design, create and style the line themselves, ensuring that their unique vision is carried through in their... [Read the full story]

Academy Awards Fashion Flounder
March 1, 2011 · Leave a Comment
Each year Los Angeles is host to one of the most glitz and glamour filled nights in all of Hollywood—The Academy Awards. So big is this night that even if you are not one of the lucky few attending, you can still watch from home along with 37 million other people. The best part of watching you ask? Critiquing the fashion of course! Who will wear what designer, fashion flops/triumphs and ultimately who will be named ‘best dressed’ are just a few of the questions looming in the air months before the show even begins. For so many actors and especially actresses, deciding what to wear... [Read the full story]

Iiesha’s Favorite Los Angeles Nail Salons
January 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment
Life can be speeding at you faster than a 5 speed Aston Martin, but that’s no excuse to not have a perfect manicure and pedicure. It’s these little luxuries that make our hectic lifestyles a little more tolerable. Treat yourself to a professional mani/pedi every two weeks, and throw in an eyebrow threading and mini massage or facial while you’re at it; you deserve it. There are thousands of nail salons in the Los Angeles area from which to choose, finding your favorite is only half the fun. Although I now reside in the heart of Los Angeles, I have no problem taking the short trip across... [Read the full story]

LA Street Chic – Night on the Town
April 7, 2011 · 1 Comment
From my own personal experience, I have realized that the majority of time us girls spend getting ready is not on hair or makeup, but in finding the right outfit. We can spend hours on end staring into a closet full of beautiful clothes and still come to the inevitable conclusion that we have absolutely nothing to wear. So, for our sake, I took the opportunity this past weekend to acquire inspiration from stylish LA women on what to wear for a night on the town. If you are headed to the club, a lounge or a party, take a cue from Aja and show out a little in a brightly hued, curve hugging... [Read the full story]

Los Angeles Street Style – Winter Day
So, the weather decided to throw Los Angeles a doozey this weekend and dampen our streets (and hair). However, free car wash aside, the rain allows us Los Angelenos to finally pretend we have that thing called winter and bring out our cold weather goodies. One trend I spotted, and loved, was the bomber jacket. Whether...

LA style Low-Rise Denim
Low-rise denim is an LA trend that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere fast. The biggest issue with low-rise jeans is not only fit, but also wondering whether or not you’re channeling the neighborhood plumber every time you sit down. With the right pieces low-rise denim can transform from casual to chic and...

Los Angeles Street Style – Pretty Frocks
Sarah in Michael Stars The weather this winter has been so, well, un-winter like. While the rest of the world is layered down and buttoned up, California residents are unapologetically strolling down the street in their spring attire. As I spent the weekend actively indulging in the lovely sunshine, I noticed a trend...

Los Angeles Style
California cool is more than just a saying, for many it’s a way of life. The beauty of living in the rarely interrupted sunshine of southern California is we have the freedom to dress according to our mood, and not the weather. Because Los Angeles is like the equivalent to a shining beacon summoning people from...
