It's Splendid!

Moise Emquies, owner and designer of Splendid, created the tee shirts which are fast becoming popular in part due to the pima cotton- a soft rayon material called modal, and partly because of the body skimming fit. More versatile than a boxy tee shirt, these tees can be worn to work or to work out. Just ask Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow who are fans of the brand. Jessica Alba has also been spotted wearing her henley with a pair of worn out jeans.

"There are 18 fashion colors per season, with only black, white and heather gray remaining as constants of the collection. There's always a red, but a different shade of red every season depending on our mood and what's going on in fashion." says Splendid owner and designer Moise Emquies*.


These tee shirts come in henley, hoodie, crewneck styles and would look good with a jean skirt and casual flip flops for the spring. I love the bright turquoise shirt above! I'm constantly searching for the perfect shirt and maybe Splendid has created what I'm looking for.

Alexis Hudson

Alexis Hudson was named after the daughter and the puppy of the designers behind the brand.
These sophisticated bags are made from fine Italian leather –pearlized leather grain and snakeskin- and come in colors like gray, dark blue, black and winter white. Very verstatile and can be used all year.


The well designed purses feature braided handles, pen holders, a pocket for your cell phone which make the purse not only hip but practical too. When something is functional then you can justify having to make it part of your wardrobe. And because the quality of the bag is excellent, consider this an investment! You'll have the purse for years and years and it won't go out of style. Worth every penny.

Tag+ Bermuda Shorts

Every summer I shy away from shorts and opt for capri pants and skirts. Why? Because shorts are usually as big as a napkin and hardly cover anything. Sorry but I do not want my bottom half to be bursting out of an item of clothing meant for an eighty pound teenager.

Thank goodness that these knee length shorts are popular this season. I love them! I like the pockets which made the rear look small. You can wear them with flip flops or ballet flats and look hip. And its all about looking hip, isnt it? YES! Pair with a Rebel Yell tee shirt and off you go looking as cool as a Hollywood starlet.

Cargo capri

I have a very hip and cute friend who wears clothes like these True Religion cargo capris. She always looks in-style and fresh but never too trendy. No hoochie mini skirts and cowboy boots. Very down to earth, a jeans and tee shirt kind of gal but only of the best quality.

I'm going to tell her about these pants because they are perfect for the southern California weather. A tee shirt and flip flops with these cargos would be ideal for spring. If you live where it's a tad chilly, then add a sweater and cute sneakers.

True Religion is my favorite brand because the denim is sturdy and the integrity of the stitching is second to none. I know the jeans are expensive but they will last a long time unless you take sand paper to the fabric and roll around on the ground.

I want them! I need a money tree so I can buy everything I write about.

T-bags

T-bags dress

t-bags tunic

When I went on the Singer22 website, the first thing I noticed was the above T-bag brand top and dress. I HAVE TO HAVE THE DRESS. Or the top. I love them both. Note to the Singer22 people, send me the dress as soon as possible! I love the summery pattern and the blue-green color scheme.

T-bags began in 1999 as a purse company, but the owners have been adding new pieces to their popular line recently. The clothes are funky and afforable. What could be better? Well, maybe both the shirt and the dress arriving on my doorstep! Take a look at all the T-bag items at Singer22.

New Johnson shorts!

Johnson Shorts have been rapidly gaining momentum since last year! Every starlet has a pair to show off her seriously toned legs. Even if you aren't Nicole Richie or Carmen Electra, Johnson shorts are made to flatter.

Singer22 has new ones in for the spring & summer. Click here to see my favorite, the Millicent shorts. They would look perfect with a simple black top and black strappy sandals.

Necklaces fit for a young starlet

Nicole Richie loves her Bonnie Basham Camp Necklace. Nicole has great taste! The color is vivid against a black top. I like a single piece of interesting jewelry, just bright and unique enough to be eye catching.

This sweet Kenneth Jay Lane strawberry pendant hangs from the neck of none other than Mischa Barton. Cute, no? I think it is. It adds a touch of sass to what might be an otherwise plain outfit.

Who Cares

I love these summery, floaty dresses by Who Cares. The dress will take you from day until night. You can funk it up with large hoop earrings or a patterned scarf. The dress works well with ballet flats or strappy heels. Its your basic dress for any and every occasion!

I want one!

Goldenbleu

I present to you...the Goldenbleu Delia Bag.

Soft leather and ample storage with leather braided trim, the Goldenbleu bag is HOT HOT HOT. This is a celebrity favorite and is saught after by all the young fashionistas! Once you invest in a good quality bag, you will have it forever. This one doesn't have a ton of belts and straps and bells and whistles. Its pretty and classy and timeless. I can smell the fresh leather from here....

Iisli for the spring

This Iisli summer halter dress is lovely for those romantic evenings out with your special someone! Imagine ...out in the rose garden, looking at the stars as you sip a glass of wine and feel gorgeous in this white goddess gown. All right, maybe that's not nearly reality but the dress will make you feel super sexy! And that's a fact.

A shorter version of the dress, this halter top looks cute with a pair of black pants, sandals and silver jewelry. It's got a real hippie vibe to it. Nicole Richie will probably be seen wearing this top, its her style. Along with oversized sunglasses and a big leather hobo bag of course!

*new* Joystick!

Gorgeous embroidered pop flower summer dress. Cocktails in the garden, anyone?

I love the color and the details of this short sleeve mini flower top. Pair the shirt with well- worn jeans and wooden clogs.

Wear this rose garden skirt with a tank top and accessorize with a fringed purse, hoop earrings and your hair down and loose.

Can this Joystick stuff be any cuter? I love it all. Such a throwback to the free love and spirited vibe of the 1960's. I would not be opposed to receiving all Joystick clothing for my summer wardrobe. I'm a sucker for wooden clogs and beads and daisies tucked behind my ears. The embroidered goodness of Joystick is so much fun.

Mandy Moore, MBLEM

Mandy Moore is a tee shirt and jeans kind of girl. She says, “Getting dressed up is fun but I'm really just a lazy bum and that's the extent of the wardrobe in my mind," she said.

"I'm a tall girl, so I'm always searching for the perfect jeans and T-shirt," the singer-actress said. "I'm a huge fan of shopping — I am a girl, after all — but I find that a lot of the popular T-shirts are too short. I mainly just wanted something that I could kick around in." So she created her line of shirts called Mblem.

The tops are available in of juicy colors like pink, turquoise and green and more subdued white, black and charcoal. Printed on the tops are lyrics to her favorite classic rock songs. "I kind of just did the line selfishly," she said. "I'm lucky to be in the position to do that."

Celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Chris Kattan, Sophia Bush, Danny Masterson and many more turned out for the 2006 spring collection for Rebel Yell, a favorite brand among Hollywood actors. Everyone loves the soft tee shirts and comfortable sweats, perfect paired with jeans and boots. Ashton Kutcher is a huge fan of their tee shirts!

SALE PART 2

Here in Southern California, the sun shines quite a lot and white jeans never go out of style. These James jeans, are ready for the sun with a tee shirt and flip-flops, maybe a nice little jean jacket to keep you toasty on chilly mornings. For those of you who are digging yourself out of the snow, fear not! A black shirt always looks crisp and stylish paired with white jeans. Just leave the white shoes in the closet until after Labor Day, that is if you abide by that old rule!




True Religion is guaranteed to make your bottom look scrumptious! These jeans have the best pocket placement of any denim I own. And I own a lot.

as Tyra Banks would say, these jeans are FIERCE!

Joystick jeans with patches, embroidery and all kinds of cool things. They look well-worn and super soft.

Ernest sewn jeans. These jeans are on super-sale. You won't believe how cheap they are. Seriously, for a great pair of jeans with quality denim, how much would you be willing to pay? They are high enough that your entire booty won't be sticking out when you bend over. That alone is priceless.

Accessories!

Back in the 1980's I owned a bag similiar to this one. I had it when Michael Jackson's Thriller album was reaching popularity and I probably kept something like Bonnie Bell lipsmackers in it, along with a plastic comb to properly feather my hair.

Obviously this Jewels Ryan bag is fresh and new and I would carry it right now: many, many years after my highschool purse. This time around I would carry LipVenom and my Gucci sunglasses. I'm a sucker for anything eighties redeux! Madonna should carry this around to go with her flippy hair and tights!

This suede bag is owned by Kate Hudson. Well if it isn't, it should be. It's got a hippy vibe to it with the gold ring and the fringe. It's by Kiki Pearl, and looks like it just came off the Love Bus in 1969. And thats not a bad thing because I love all things hippy-ish and carefree.

When I saw this bag, the skies opened up and angels began to sing. I love it! Its big and studded and funky and cool and pretty and would match with everything in my wardrobe. This is a Goldenbleu Devin bag. You want it too, don't you? When you invest in a well made purse like this one, you can wear it over and over again, all year long.

You really have to have the fashion chops to pull off this studded vest by LaRok. I don't. But I think Jessica Simpson does, and I could see her wearing this with some shorty shorts and tall sassy boots. If you aren't as bold as Ms. Simpson, then play it safe and pair with a black tee shirt and some distressed jeans.



The Jana Feifer white velvet hobo bag. It's slouchy and casual for an easy Sunday morning of shopping and coffee drinking. It's so Cameron Diaz.

This is the Felix Leather Amanda bag with gold studs. Tres cute, no? The size is very good for the bare minimum like an overflowing wallet, a makeup bag, a teeny notebook and a cell phone.
Perhaps a small mirror so you can admire your good looks.



Funky Royal moccasin leather boots. To be worn with cuffed jeans or a mini skirt, someone bolder than myself would pair them with shorts. I like the buttons up the side. They look ultra comfortable. I hear there's a bit of snow on the east coast- I bet they would keep your feet toasty warm! Nicole Richie, these would look fab on you!

SALE PART ONE

I present to you the Larok Beaded Hippie shirt, oh yes its on sale. The thing with a basic black top with a little pizzazz is that it goes with anything. Wear it with a shirt or jeans and it will always suit the occasion. I think Britney Spears could easily wear this shirt with a knee length jean skirt and a pair of boots, along with an over- size bag for all her must-haves.

This funky devil of a mini is also by Grail. I would pair this would some fishnet stockings, black boots and a tee shirt. This would look cool on: Mischa Barton. Knowing Mischa, I bet she would wear a flowing white blouse, footless stockings and flip flops.



If I were a rock star I would so wear this funky bright sweatshirt by Grail. Okay I would wear it if I wasn't a rock star- which I'm not- so really anyone with a hint of rebeliousness can wear it and feel like they belong up on stage with the members of the band. Receommended for: Jessica Simpson


This pink flowered shrug by Joystick is also on super sale. The flattering shade of pink will look lovely next any complexion. I like shrugs because you can pair them with a long sleeved shirt or a simple tee shirt or just a plain tank. I like it. I like the color, the flowers and the hippie vibe it gives off. I'd like to see it on: Reese Witherspoon

Above and below are True Religion Grass Big T jeans. I own a pair of True Religions and let me tell you girls, they give excellent buttage. The pockets create a very nice rear view and the legs are cut long to give the illusion of never ending legs atop the nicest rump this side of Hollywood.

check out the stitching. how can you not own a pair of these?

Nicole Richie would look super fantastic in the True Religions.

Singer 22 is having a huge, enormous, blow- out sale with prices I cannot believe. True Religion Jeans for a mere $99? Surely you think I jest, but no! There are clothes that are 70% the original price, I can't stand it!

The problem with a good sale is that I end up buying way too much because there are so many wonderful things to purchase and at such prices I simply cannot resist. That is why my closet is bulging at the seams!"You can never be too rich or own too many clothes" is my motto.
