Diosa on Abbot Kinney


There are so many wonderful boutiques in and around Los Angeles, but I want to share a recent hidden gem! Diosa on Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice is ah-mazing! Owner, Serena Isabella Viharo, fills this limited space with loads of color, hip accessories and designer duds from the Malibu hills, to the outback in Australia!

1405 Abbot Kinney Blvd.
Venice, CA 90291
310.396.6969


GORGEOUS (and my new fave find) Rebecca Thompson ...













At Diosa, the staff is friendly, the colors are bright and the fashion is phenomenal!

Trust me, if you are having a bad day and are in need of some retail therapy, this shop will turn your day around. It's full of life, smiling faces and it's oozing positive, hippy vibes!


Oh, and don't forget to grab 1 or 2 handmade candles, they smell wonderful!

Thank You John Wind!


I just wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation for the fabulous gift I received this month, from the lovely Rhonda at John Wind Maximal Art! This gorgeous necklace initial necklace (although mine had a B on it) with key was waiting for me in my mailbox. John makes the most unique and beautiful pieces, you should pop on over and take a peek!

Forever 21 hits the Las Vegas strip...




With a BANG! I was shocked to see how many fashionistas showed up Saturday for the new unveiling of Forever 21 at The Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas! To say I was impressed with the store, would be an understatement. This new bi-level, 126,000 sq. ft store is the largest in the world and is well worth the trip! With the 36 cash registers and 132 dressing rooms, I don't think you will have much of a line to wait in. With prices ranging from $2.50 to $40 it's well within any shopaholics budget and idea of fun!



Twelve by Twelve collection...




SHOES! ...adorable floral flats! (the shoe section is HUGE!)

ACCESSORIES Galore!



I fell in love with this shirt...



don't leave out the kiddies!

or the sexy men!

I personally shop in the Faith 21 section, especially if you have (BIG) "breastesses", like me.
( I love that word and like to use it cause it makes me laugh, from Norbit) LOL!

loved this for fall, paired with jeans.. Can't seem to find it on the site though??

My goodies from the grand opening...

I spent more time talking than I did shopping, but I managed to pick up this bag. It's SO perfect for fall! I only buy bags with structure. Hate using a purse and you open it and everything fall out. This was only $18.80! Purple, structured...it was mine!

had to have this necklace (fab color!) and a cute compact for touch-ups on the go!

The McQueen show lives on










Resort 2011

There has never been a designer quite like Alexander McQueen and I was a bit skeptical if anyone could fill such big shoes. Needless to say, I was positively pleased when I gazed upon such stunning showstoppers.

Sarah Burton, McQueen's Creative Director, should be quite proud. As much as it shocked the entire fashion world, after hearing the tragic news of the late fashion genius, I can't imagine how difficult it must be for his family and loved ones. To create such an exquisite collection at such a heavy time, in my opinion, is quite remarkable. As far as I'm concerned, this divine direction she has so bravely taken will keep my skepticism extinct.
