Sophia Coppola for Louis Vuitton








Sofia Coppola's fall collection is still on my mind. I'm especially loving her signature handle bag in black gator.

Trending Now: Scotch Naturals

This new line of polishes has me hooked. These water-based colors are good for your nails and come in 13 rich hues. I'm loving the labels! Shop here.

Men's Canvas Travel Bags

Inspired by a recent conversation with my friend Justin, based in Brooklyn. What are the most stylish men's canvas bags? Here's my take. Oh, and check out his killer blog HERE.

Earth Naturals

They'll take you from January to July in skinny jeans or a sundress. Perfect for this crazy L.A. weather!

Four environmentally conscious bamboo handles marked with reminders to change your brush every three months. How cute!

From their boy's shop. Whether it's Brooks Brothers, GAP, or L.L. Bean, I seem to always find my preppy classics in the boy's section. Classic styles, in the right size.

Trending Now: Braids

I actually don't think this is anything too new- but it's consistently a hairstyle I covet. I might have to get this done on Saturday. Celebrating this weekend off from work = an updo. Why not? It will still be cute + messy the next day after sleeping on it!

The King and Queen of Spades

The Selby recently posted images of Kate and Andy Spade's home in Manhattan- and it's perfection. Not surprisingly, they have every detail down. Here's what to love:
* the herringbone wood floors
* the black gloss rotary phone
* black + white abstract art contrasted with..
* punches of primary colors in the walls and chairs
* the white subway tiles in the kitchen
* coffee table books galore

It's a great mix of preppy/chic. If I wasn't in a rental I'd paint my doors black lacquer like that! Bonus: watch this video on Spade and Sperduti here- creators of the J.Crew Liquor Store concept. I'm so luckily to have met and worked with them while I was working on the Rolex brand in New York!

Paris vs. New York

Loving these prints from the blog Paris vs. New York: A Tally of Two Cities. They're so clever! Godard/Woody is my favorite. Check more out here.

Bookshelves as Decor

I think I'd almost prefer a wall covered in books rather than a wall of windows. I've committed to buying one coffee table book per month (not that it's difficult to do) because there are just so many beautiful ones out there- and I love the way the make my apartment feel- cozy and lived in. The bookshop Hennessey + Ingalls here in Santa Monica has an incredible selection of art, fashion and architecture books that makes this too easy. Do I dare to color coordinate them once I have enough to do so? Time will tell.

Trending Now: Booties



I'm on the hunt for booties like these. I feel like I never wear heels anymore now that I'm living in L.A. If I found those booties shown on top, I don't think I'd ever take them off!

Felix Doolittle Designs





I'm thrilled that I came across this lovely little site, Felix Doolittle. From stationary to paper weights and baker's labels, they personalize everything that would be on your desk at home (or in the kitchen!). These return labels are my personal fave.

Theory Finds: Spring 2011



Theory is always chock-full of classics that never go out of style. Anything blue, white or with stripes are my staples, and their latest additions don't disappoint. I hope my girlfriends in New York are taking full advantage of the Theory sample sales I once took for granted- they are nowhere to be found in L.A.! So for now, I'm stuck shopping Theory resort here.

Hermes Screen Leathers




Hermes has posted (via their facebook page) 'screen leathers' available for download on your computer (or iPhone or iPad!). I'm loving the ostrich grey. Check them out here.
