Isabel Marant, C'est Amour Propre


Voila, un aperitif dangereux: France's avant garde Isabel Marant + Abbott Kinney's Heist, le plus beau du quartier + le dollar, le plus faible du quartier (mais boujour mon tax refund beau!). Tchin-tchin, cheris. Et pardon mon franglais.

Rx: Who What Wear Daily


Who What Wear Daily. Am obsessed. Fashion-informed but not fashion-enslaved, Katherine Power and Hillary Kerr dose chic Rx's of runway-to-real life fashions, style stalk It girls (more Agyness Deyn than standard US Weekly starlets, thankfully) and merchandise with enough verve that the recent "What to Wear: Music Festivals" almost obliterated memories of near-death-experience-by-heat-stroke nightmare from last Coachella. Will continue to download every email and watch every WWWD TV webisode as faithfully as should have hydrated before picaresque adventures on the Empire Polo Field in 105-degree heat.

P.S. Something else that's just what the doctor ordered? Retail therapy with WWWD's "Shop the Closet".

Left - Malibu magazine captures local 'Bu zeitgeist and validates why those who don't live there should pay attention to goings on along and around its 27 coastal miles. Also, their new Web site is neat: very community, very pretty and very now.

Center - Tylie Malibu is pure Malibu: neo hippie + rock 'n' roll + utilitarian clean. Made in L.A. Am mad about all styles with obnoxious/ugly canvas clippy handles. Ugly handles, hot.

Right - FreeCitySuperShop: the original lifestyle brand at the nexus of beach, art, design, fashion, music, neo-hippie and tee pees. Often copied (ahem, Gap) but never replicated. And worth it. If you get why Malibu at its most Malibu is a worthwhile thing to support.

The Uni

The Uni

Meet the reg's. I have a history with uniforms (7th grade until I went to college: blue pinstripe skirt rolled at the waist, white polo)... and I guess this "wear less, more" philosophy has never entirely vanished from my fashion p.o.a.
