Just got done watching the latest edition of RH of OC. Vicki needs to wear longer skirts. They say when you are over 35 not to wear mini-skirts, and she is like 48 and has huge thighs. I am 38 and don't wear a short skirt unless I wear black tights and I have nice thighs. Just sayin'. I think Gretchen dresses the cutest and most fashionable, she has a great figure and does not have huge fake DDD breasts. To be honest, I am so over the fake tits and fake hair thing that was so fashion in LA for the past decade. I am so over it. I like thin women with smaller chests and long brown hair - like 70's style. The Pamela looks is SO OVER. So ladies, if you are saving your money for a big boob job, don't bother, the hottest chicks now are not Pamela Anderson and porno star figures, its more natural, slender and really amazing hair and clear skin. I have never had an issue with my chest, I have been a 34B my whole life and 120-130 lbs. I am not thin, not fat, just ave...

I am not a very dedicated fashion blogger. I still do have opinions about things in fashion but I get so busy I forgot to write about them. One of them was that I really loved the dress that LiLo wore to the Golden Globes parties. It was a sequined mini dress and it has a hoodie on it, that I thought was adorable. A lot of bloggers wrote about how stupid that dress was, but I though it was super groovy. Is that still a word? I love hoodies and I loved the way they put a hoodie on a glamour type mini dress, it was a really fun twist. I will have to find a photo and post it on here. I have like 1,001 things to do each day its hard to keep up with my blogs, facebook, myspace, clients and my own small fashion line. Not to mention a five year old, two dogs and a house., etc.

I met this really great family owned business in Milan that manufactures and has traditional and unique hardware for handbags and leather goods. In fact, I liked them so much that I decided to help them to bring their business to the USA market. They have great quality hardware and I like the fact that they are a family run business and they can do smaller MOQ for custom hardware! Check out their online catalog here, and if you want to order something please feel free to contact me or contact them directly, I teamed up with them to help with the USA market.

Leather is really big right now! All the major designers are showing leather jackets, leather pants, and leather accessories. I remember when I was right out of high school I really wanted a leather jacket. So I saved all my tips working at the Red Bird Country Club in Savannah, GA and took the $300 and bought a black mens leather jacket at Wilson's Suede and Leather in a mall in Savannah, GA. It had a elasticized waist and space type shoulder designs, very Michael Jackson. My best friend back in Seattle worked for a custom embroidery company and so she embroidered my name in black on the leather collar. The black leather coat was heavy and amazing, it was a mens size 40 and I wore that jacket for about ten years, all through college. I wish I still had it. About 5 yrs ago when my husband and I purchased our first condo in Los Angeles, I had to purge my closet and it went to Goodwill. Somewhere, most likely in Los Angeles, someone has a black leather jacket with my name stitched in...

I am pleased to announce we are sold out of the Dr. Phil and the red Rocco satchel. We are almost sold out of the Carlo coin purse..we started with 300 pcs so I am surprised at how popular that style has been because it was a last minute add on when I ordered it last season. That is great because it makes more room in our office for new stock. We look forward to having new stock in 2010. Check back or follow our blog to keep informed. Thanks again to all of our customers and for supporting small business.
