When you were little did you ever play “I’m Going To The Grocery Store?” It was a memorization game where you had to remember alphabetically the contents of a shopping list from A to Z. Well this month we’re going shopping for an outing to the beach! Even if it’s just up to Zuma to surf or Malibu for the weekend, it still pays to look chic.
It’s summer time! Finally! And summer means one thing: Skin. You can’t avoid it. It’s the heat, it makes you crazy. You want to run around naked. Okay, maybe just shirtless. One thing is certain if you must pull that gesture your skin and face had better be on point!
Summer 09 is all about bold colors and startling combinations, but don’t be afraid. Wear those bright colors with white jeans, a cute pair of denim cut-offs (girls only, men should never wear a denim short) or a pair of khakis which balances the bright. Think color balanced by a neutral. Accessories? Think green. And when I say green I mean eco-friendly; canvas slip-ons for boys and wood bangles or maybe a gorgeous cork clutch for girls. Yes, I said cork.
Here are my hand picked selections for cool cats and hot chicks to look sweltering this summer. First up the men:
Spring has sprung. Okay maybe I’m a bit early but I’m ready for it. It’s a time for rebirth. A fresh start. Renewal. There’s a feeling on a global level of change in the air. Maybe it is the new President? Or just Michelle on the cover of Vogue. Whatever it is, it’s time to make space for the new. Time to open yourself up and clean out the old ways of thinking, doing, being. And it starts at home.
It approaches. The DAY. Valentine’s Day is actually named after two early Christian martyrs named Valentine. It’s celebration dates as far back as the middle ages. The tradition of sending cards and gifts spread to the states in 1847 when a woman in Massachusetts launched the first pre-printed valentine cards. Up to that point the notes were handwritten. The Greeting Card Association estimates nearly 1 billion valentines are sent each year. That’s a lot of declarations of love.
It’s 2009. A new year is upon us. It’s time to blissfully say goodbye to the past and herald a glorious new future. Here are a few of the things to crave in ’09. It’s always about now, new, next and here are the must haves!
Designers To Watch:
The Elder Statesman. Designed by super-cute Greg Chait, yeah him, the one that was dating Mary-Kate, this is a collection of hand-spun 100% cashmere hats, hoodies, and sweaters and to-die-for cashmere blankets. My personal fave is the Baja Pullover Sweater which is total California cool. This kid with no design experience to speak of is becoming a fashion darling. Mens Vogue and Details have already profiled him.
I stumbled across this article I wrote for HotInHollywood from Jan. O8. I loved it and I’m going to re-post it here and start it as a monthly post.
Winter is here (though it may not feel like it) and the holidays are upon us. It’s the most festive time of the year. But don’t forget you must look good to see the parents, meet the parents and for those big Christmas parties. Tis the season to laugh, party and look your best. Below are 6 of my favorite products to help you do just that.
