I Can't Get No Satisfaction

My favorite band is in town this week. Still trying to decide if I want to part with major $$$$ for the tickets. Since when did concerts become so exorbitant?? Anyway while I think about depleting my bank account I will leave you with these lovely images....

 

 



The Perfect Shirt



A crisp tailored shirt and a great pair of jeans has always been one of my favorite looks. Throw on a pair of flats and you're out the door. I especially love the menswear inspired shirts from Claridge + King. Designed by sisters Laurann Claridge and Lizbeth King, the collection was inspired by their Connecticut boarding school days. Their women's clothing line based in Houston also includes loungewear, t-shirts, tunics and dresses. www.claridgeandking.com

 

 

 

My Latest Obsession

It's not surprising that my latest obsession is the new collection recently launched by a former Head of Womenswear and Accessories Designer at J Crew. Marissa Webb presented her first collection recently during Spring 2013 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and it did not disappoint. It's filled with the sort of preppy/edgy pieces (yes that is a recurring theme for me) that I tend to favor. I ordered the Makayla Watermark Plaid Dress (as seen below) to wear to my son's 8th grade graduation ceremony. I received it yesterday and it fits amazing! The pictures do not do this dress justice. It's just conservative enough but still manages to look sexy when paired with an edgy heel. With the high neckline and long sleeves I am thinking a beautiful cocktail ring would work best. I love the ones designed by my friend Sharon Lawson for her collection SL Designs. Sharon I will be contacting you! Currently Marissa Webb can be found at Barneys and her own website www.marissa-webb.com. SL Designs www.sldesigns.com

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Visit to Rag & Bone

Back from vacation and maybe not so well rested - air travel has become so inhumane! I hit the ground running to check out the new Rag & Bone boutique on Melrose Ave. I have been to the Soho store in NYC a few times so I was anxious to see how this one compared. At 9000 square feet, the West Coast flagship is now the brand's largest boutique. The Melrose Ave. store features the men's and women's collection in addition to those booties that the brand has become so famous for. Speaking of air travel I have run through many airports in mine and never once ended up with a blister! The Spring/Summer 2013 Campaign features my favorite supermodel Kate Moss wearing the urban cool pieces and looking fabulous as ever. The must have item for me is the Jefferson seersucker blazer. Paired with a skinny leather pant it's the perfect balance of preppy and edgy. Rag & Bone, 8533 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood, CA
