Oh Land: My Fashion Crush


It's no surprise (unless you are a new reader) that I love the Danes.  I learned so much while living in Denmark, but most of all I became inspired by the design, lifestyle and of course, the fashion.  This past spring I attended Logo's NewNowNext Awards and fell in love.  It was my first time being introduced to Oh Land, but the minute I heard her sing, I could recognize the accent in a heartbeat.

As the music hit my soul, her style hit my heart.










After watching the following video if you aren't inspired by Oh Land or Danish Fashion...
then you must not have a pulse.

Rachel Zoe Collection: Fall 2011


Last week I attended the launch of Rachel Zoe's Fall Collection at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills.  It was bananas!  Ok, so I never use that word but I felt it was appropriate.  Rachel looked absolutely stunning!  I must say in fact I felt she was glowing.  It was Skyler's first fashion show, so perhaps that was it.

The collection really was beautiful.  The key to being a great stylist isn't just having style and a good sense of fashion, it's knowing how to fit.  You can have the most divine piece but if it sits on you like a sack of potatoes, you're screwed.  Rachel's collection has structure, gorgeous detail and a fab fit!




Rachel & Ken Downing, Neiman Marcus Fashion Director
(don't kill me for posting this Ken, but I had to prove that fashion is still fun!)





My absolute favorite! (available soon!)



Rodger is THE cutest husband.  He sipped champagne then watched his wife in total admiration. Loved it.

Boutique Amalia: Meirav Ohayon


My new favorite bag.




The lovelies over at Boutique Amalia sent over the most ah-mazing bag!  Israeli designer, Meirav Ohayon is the genius behind this leather jewel.  The minute I opened the package, I inhaled the yummy aroma of sweet  Italian leather.   The dusty gray color and the industrial style is exactly what I was looking for to incorporate into my fall wardrobe.  Another upside is that all her bags are made under fair trade conditions.
I also received the brown leather "pouch" (see below) that is now home to my lipglass & gum...two very important things... HA!


After seeing this post today on IFB, I was inspired to show you what was hiding in my bag too!
