Boutique Bliss

Revival Vintage: 7403 Beverly Blvd. LA. 90036. A collection of dresses from 1950’s to 1980’s. All sizes, not just teeny tiny. I left the hermes aqua rope dress on the rack for one of you, but took home an indian print floor length wrap skirt. This blog research is not good for my credit, but great for my closet. The 1950’s sea green bow dress featured here is $230.

TenOverSix:
7427 Beverly Blvd. LA.  This accessories gallery is out of my credit limit league, but it’s so fun to look. I covet the Alexander Wang Brenda Zip Chain Bag $795 and the A.P.C. weekend bag $325.

Shopaholic Sample Sale: 144 N. La Brea. LA. Open daily. Designer samples at great discount prices. Downside: it’s for skinny minnies that can fit in designer samples.

You’re Welcome!

I saved every Domino Magazine that ever came in the mail. I’d cozy up with it in bed and flag the prettiest pages. My husband called it my porn. Then, the economy tanked and Domino folded. And I lost my pretty porn. Meet Lonny Magazine. In addition to interior design, Lonny Mag also mingles with beauty, apparel, do-it-yourself crafting, and cooking. Wallet Beware: click on an item you love and the mag takes you directly to the site where you can buy it. Shopping just got way too easy.

Pretty in Pink

The new H&M at the century city mall is heavenly…and surprisingly organized. I found this garden party dress for $34.95.
Need your Joan Crawford morning fix? : no more wire hangers!

Fashion Blogs J’Adore:

Garance Dore: A tragically elegant blog created by a Parisian illustrator. She includes beautiful photos of street fashion.
whowhatwear: fashion pics. I love its magazine style layout.
refinery29: This too cool for school blog is a great prep for trips to NYC. It shows you what all those “crazy kids” are up to these days.
The Zoe Report : I don’t have the guts or the moolah to attempt most of Rachel Zoe’s fashion feats, but it’s always fun to look.

Kelly Time

I have a Grace Kelly fetish.  My husband took advantage of my weakness for her by proposing to me on a trip to Monaco. Net-A-Porter’s weekly fashion magazine is having an orgy of all things Grace. Light a candle, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy: Grace Kelly on Net-A-Porter
