Surf's Up In Pasadena

 

Clothes Heaven in Pasadena never fails to inspire me. While they always have vintage/hard to find/amazing things, these Chanel "surf" pieces grabbed my attention like nothing else. Iconic and bold, I can see these fitting right in on the beach in Malibu or the Hamptons. And you probably already guessed, I was all over that chunky Chanel jewelry pictured above.  It's really too bad I only have two arms to do the "arm party" with. *sigh*....

Forty Five Ten

On Saturday morning before I flew home from my shoot in Dallas, we had a chance to eat at the T ROOM which is the very cool restaurant in the upscale Dallas boutique, FORTY FIVE TEN. The food was absolutely amazing. Wish I lived closer as I would be there at least once a week!

 

If you are in or near Dallas I highly recommend stopping in at this amazing boutique (and to have lunch) which carries some of my favorite lines -  Rick Owens, Dries Van Noten, Duarte, The Row, Givenchy and Alexander McQueen to name just a few. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable and the apparel, shoes, jewelry and housewares are hand picked to perfection.

The Honey Pot

One of my favorite stores near where I live is THE BEEHIVE,  it's one of those places that visually I  love the look of - colorful and fun. It carries brands like Elizabeth and James,  J. Brand, Seneca Rising, Hinu, Wildfox, Splendid, Madison Marcus and new lines you may have never even heard of yet (which I LOVE).  They also have a great selection of  retro gift items, shoes, hats, amazing jewelry, and vintage style candy.

Plus all the girls who work there have amazing style so its easy to get inspired and treat yourself to something new.
