Love, love, love, luuuuuuv this dress by Zuhair Murad!  Blake Lively rocks it at the LA premier of Savages this summer.

Say yes to the (designer) dress

From time to time I'm asked to style a wedding.  I always say yes because it's such a treat to help make that day special for the bride and groom.  Part of the fun is shopping with the bride for her dream dress.  Many would love to have a designer dress but it's just not in the budget.  Ladies fret no more!!  Now you too can have a Carrie Bradshaw moment in your very own Vivienne Westwood or Donna Karan.  (Think her Vogue photo shoot, not her wedding day....err...maybe I should use another reference?!)

Check out The Outnet for deeply discounted designer dresses.

Swooon!  Again doing research for my latest project, I came across this little gem of a necklace by fine jewelry line Mannin.  I'm in love with this pendent plus there are all sorts of other options...rings, bracelets, cuff links to stamp your initials in.  This is such a great addition to your already rockin' neck party (Thank you ManRepeller for use of the term.)  It's also a GREAT gift for your bridesmaids.  Now...who needs another bridesmaid??

I'm researching los angeles based designers for my latest project and found this little number by Fluxus.  I love the asymmetrical hem and the yellow makes me smile!!

Check out more of their collection online or at their retail store in Larchmont Village, 202 North Larchmont Los Angeles, CA 90004.

Weekend Inspiration

An Iranian bride sitting in the bridal chamber at her father's house.  Look at all the color!  I'm designing a short film right now called Silk.  I've loved all the research into Iranian culture and dress.

On trend and on a play ground

Just a normal day on set.  My assistant calls this photo "Me and Mt. Everest."  Notice the fun and fabulous colored denim.  Isn't that what everyone wears rock climbing???

Don't call it a comeback...

I've been here for years!

Well HELLO blogisphere!!  Yes it has been six long months since I posted last.  I have been one busy bumble bee.  I know...I know...that is NO excuse.  I was on the phone with my mom this morning and she said "You know dear...I was out on your blog today and you haven't posted in a really long time."  Not sure what it means (if anything!!) to have my mom reminding me to blog!!  I kinda felt like I was six and being scolded for burping too loud.

So HI, HOLA, BONJOUR, KONNICHIWA!!

xo,
