Happy Holidays!

I hope everyone has a very happy holiday spent with friends and family! I leave this evening to head to Berlin with my family, so no updates next week. I leave you with one of my favorite holiday gifts and the best way to start off the New Year, Keel's Simple Diary Volume Two, and a very festive set of Sally Hansen Nail Effects topped off with Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow. And you know I can't resist mentioning a resemblance to a certain Junya Watanabe blazer...

Need: Chloe Stacy Brass Snake Ring

I don't know why I'm surprised to see that Chloe's jewelry is simple and sophisticated, but I was and it is. Usually I find serpent rings a bit too bohemian for my style even though I love them on other people. This pared-down version perfectly balances modern and romantic.

Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall 2012

My excitement for new Proenza Schouler collections never wanes.  It is only amplified by the fact that they always draw inspiration from the coolest and most exotic locations (this time Everest) and translate it into the most exciting garments. My only issue is that they're sort of hiding the accessories here. I guess its a good thing to leave us wanting more.

Chanel Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

I simply could not resist these Kiss Nail Dress stickers when I saw them at the drugstore. The little raised pearlescent bubbles reminded me of the actual pearls applied to the models' skin at Chanel 2012. Can you imagine if Peter Philips tried his hand at nail art? That would be amazing.

Dita Von Teese's Blue Half-Moon Manicure

No surprises here, Dita Von Teese has immaculate nails. Somehow the half-moon manicure makes wearing bright cobalt blue seem almost sophisticated.

Need: Juniper Ridge Teas

My family often spends the holidays at our house in the Palm Desert, but since this year we will be far away in Berlin I want to bring a little taste of West coast with me. These teas by Juniper Ridge sound like just the right item. Douglas Fir Spring Tips and White Sage & Wild Mint bring flavors from Northern and Southern California into delicious herbal teas. Even better, they give a portion of proceeds to defending Western wilderness.

Christmas Wish List 2011

Usually for Christmas I have a laundry list of items I've been eyeing for months, but this year I already got my present, a round trip ticket to Berlin with my family. I certainly don't *need* anything else, but if someone asked I might say that I wouldn't argue with a Clarisonic, new gym bag, personalized stationery and iPhone friendly winter gloves. And also jewelry. Always jewelry.

What is on your list?

Lucky Magazine Feature: Prabal Gurung Resort 2012-Inspired Nails

I can't tell you how excited I was to be selected for a feature in the "From the Blogs" section of Lucky's January issue. With Lucky's Jen Ford I chose this amazing Prabal Gurung's Resort 2012 look. I loved wearing this look and I'm crazy about how the feature turned out in the magazine. Go buy yours now and flip straight to page 57!

Need: 3.1 Phillip Lim Jacquard Parka

I find it so hard to get excited about outerwear, but so easy to be drawn to this Phillip Lim number. Interesting color? Check. Leather sleeves? Check. So good, I can actually imagine getting excited to go outside into the chill.
