One product I’m constantly on a quest for is lip gloss. And not just any old gloss will do–the consistency needs to be just right (not too sheer and watery that it slides off; not too sticky that your hair gets gunked and tangled in it), the color needs to be flattering at all times (and if it had a… View Post
I cruised over to the launch party of 3.1 Phillip Lim on Robertson tonight and had a truly fabulous time! With all of these fashion parties, I have to say everything is starting to blur together, but tonight was actually enjoyable, all in all. For starters, the store was impeccable. Really futuristic and modern, airy, all white and quite gallery-like…. View Post
This week has been crazy busy with events, and I’ve barely had time to sit down and breathe. I spent my Wednesday evening partying with every A-lister and Hollywood socialite in town at the Cartier Love Day gala, held at a gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous mansion in Bel Air. The outdoor cocktail reception and after-party was out of this world extraordinary,… View Post
When it comes to eyeshadow, I hate to admit it, but I’m kind of a chicken. Despite the many many, many palettes, compacts and containers overflowing my dresser (a.k.a. my beauty bar), I tend to reach for the same old shades day after day. I rarely, rarely veer far from smudging some combination of subtle gold, champagne or taupe on… View Post
As a young girl, I was mesmerized with the fashion industry at an early age, but it was rare to ever see an Asian in the industry. When Benihana’s adorable daughter, Devon Aoki, made headlines as an up-and-coming model in the 90s (despite her tiny stature), I took immediate notice. Her beauty is exotic and extraordinary, and I have followed… View Post
My beloved Robertson Blvd. couldn’t have been any crazier tonight as the new Chanel boutique hosted a fabulous VIP bash to kick off its opening this weekend. The store was absolutely gorgeous–three stories of sparkling designer luxury, complete with courtyard lounge areas, giant bronze statues of iconic shoes, handbags, perfume and more. Tons of celebs came out including Maria Menounos,… View Post
I lucked out big-time last week, and hung out with designer Derek Lam at the Chateau Marmont as he unveiled his new eyewear collection to select editors. We perched on the penthouse balcony and chatted about California living (he’s originally from San Francisco, though he now lives in New York), the definition of ‘chic’ and the commercialization of the fashion… View Post
LORAC Front of the Line Waterproof Eyeliner For me, black eyeliner is a very serious can’t-leave-home-without-it-on matter. Despite the fact that TotalBeauty.com just named this liner as one of their worst picks (ouch!), I have to confess this is one of my fave new products of all time. It glides on easily and doesn’t budge all day. Lines your peepers… View Post
So, the shopping madness continued well into the weekend. I got this tres chic metallic foldover clutch by Erva at Barneys yesterday. It’s totally roomy (as far as clutches go) and versatile enough to go from day to night. I love, love, love the cute wooden button clasp and I anticipate carrying this subtly glam clutch all summer long, but… View Post
