NY FASHION WEEK: Show of the Day

Matthew Williamson always puts on a good show. There's always lots of color and patterns which are an integral part of his brand. No wonder he's also the head designer at Pucci. This opening look made me gasp.

Workroom

I'm in the pink and Mackenzie's in the yellow. I love that we are still best friends.

NY FASHION WEEK: Show of the Day

Erin Fetherston has not been a favorite of mine but this collection really impressed me. A Nutcracker theme that retains the fluffy girliness she's known for with an edgier graphic color story. She's pushing into a new direction that reminds me of the things I love about Luella (by Luella Bartley) and the fabrics are to die for. I want to buy some swiss dot now.

Ran across this amazing Missoni advertisement while looking through the new Bazaar. I think I stared at it for a good 5 minutes. I want to check out their store in Beverly Hills. Click on picture to see it larger.

Jenny's Birthday

Jenny and I had plans to go see Confession of a Shopaholic but instead went to the MAC counter across the street on the main Hollywood drag. While walking the third floor, I got a shot of the El Capitan Theater that gave me the idea to include more sparkle in my life. Jenny got her makeup done while I admired colors and watched fashion shows on her iPhone. The night continued with homemade tacos and ended with a trip to The Alcove, in Los Feliz, for a bite of cake. I got the tiramisu and Jenny got Godiva chocolate. It was worth the tummy ache that followed!

Valentine's Day

Not only did boss lady, Cyndy, let me leave early on Balloon Celebration's busiest day of the year but she also made me this balloon to give to Than. It's called a 'Gumball' and it is one of my favorite balloons that we make in the store. Wrapped in the bag are a dozen chocolate chip cookies from Diddy Reese.






















This morning we made a giant cupcake for another perfectly manicured lawn in Beverly Hills. Matt, the reigning sculpture king, is teaching me in the ways of balloon building and I helped blow all these up and add sprinkles and glitter to the top. I love how he even thinks to put an orange balloon inside the yellow balloon to make it look even more like a flame on the candle. Another rich birthday girl satisfied. I rode home in the back of the van.

7 am

I had to be at work at 7 am this morning and I took this shot around 6:30 on my bike. It was also about 40 degrees which is freezing to us spoiled brats. If you look far enough you can see the mountains, which are covered with snow.



Here's a better shot of the mountains. Than took this on Monday after several days of heavy rain. Usually it's so smoggy you can't see that far and this was the first day that I realized you could see the Hollywood sign from our street.
