It's snowy and cold here today. My new sandals are waiting patiently for me along with that cute new jumper that's just miserably hanging there...damn you Canada, should have known you'd show that ugly side one more time. I can't wait until May shows up and kicks your gloomy ass.

Until then I need a little encouragement.

Cute prints by SUGARBOO perfect for the patio- available on Hautelook today.

TIME TO REFLECT....

2010-01-18T08:03:00.000-08:00

Last nights Golden Globes had some well deserving winners but on the fashion forefront things weren't so award deserving. I was blown away by some of the dresses that the female stars were in, either being completely drab or a chiffon nightmare.

The Prom Night Disaster

RUNNERS UP...

Bright colors of blue and classic hollywood glam scored high in my books. Kate Hudson proved you can wear white and not look like you're headed straight to the alter, and Mary-Kate pulled off a not so figure flattering bubble and made it into one of my favorite dresses of the evening.

but the WINNER OF THE EVENING....

Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior. Sophisticated yet sexy, and the color is amazing.

It's been a long long loooong week. We're finally back from Vegas and so excited for what's to come Spring/Summer 2010. Collections are stronger then ever, quality, innovation, and style exuded our expectations; I would even go as far as saying that this could be some of the nicest stuff I've ever seen at these shows.

We had a few celeb run ins, Dave Navaro 9am at the hard rock, Samantha Ronson looking wafley as ever, and SUGE KNIGHT!! Probably the largest man in the world.

Here are a few photos of the trip, enjoy!

Krane designer Ken Chow interned with Marc Jacobs and Cloak, and the latter, now-defunct label's military influence is most evident in this waxed-cotton carpenter bag. It ought to make an excellent and—let's face it—long-overdue replacement for the backpack your brother still uses for weekend trips.
