But a very reliable source, whose closet I raid daily, has informed me that last fall's was better than the spring one. So... that can only mean that this fall's has to be amazing. Right?

Work is so crazy, I am not sure if I am sinking or swimming.
But I do know one thing... this total lack of humidity these past few days has me excited for Fall. I am already plotting my cool weather wardrobe.

One question... knee socks over tights, yes or no?

I think I like!

Advice to My Unborn Niece

1. Take advantage of your mom being a hairdresser. A good cut and color is not cheap
2. There is nothing better than cuddling with your Nana Ondash. There's magic in those hugs.
3. Never cry over a boy. Let him cry over you instead.
4. Always moisturize.
5. A girl can never have too many purses, no matter what her age.
6. Everyone will have an opinion. Yours is the only one that should matter.
7. Live in Europe at some point in your life. It will change how you see the world.
8. Don't let your daddy dress you. Fashion is not his forte.
9. Ignore the "mean girls". They will end up miserable, with frizzy hair and bad fashion sense.
10. A good song can change everything.

Time to Do Some Good

Last night I was too much of an old lady to get to Rock n Roll Hotel for their 2nd year anniversary, including the BYT dance party that was upstairs. Part of the bar sales went to help Svetlana raise money for The Breast Cancer 3-Day.

It's a great cause and a great effort by her (cause let's be honest, our butts aren't about to walk 60 miles in three days)! So be a pal and help her raise some cash. Click here to make a contribution.

Two Bits of News

1. My Tom Ford for Prez tee finally came and it is FABULOUS. If you haven't ordered one yet, don't wait!

2. I am currently obsessed with drilling. I have been wandering around my apartment for two days looking to see where I can drill a new hole and hang something. Some things maybe crooked, but I finally got those pictures off my floor and onto the walls.

Nothing Better

Nothing but the local DJ
You said he had some songs to play
What went down from his fooling around
Gave hope and a brand new day

Q&A - Legalize LA

Hey my little fashion guru.
My roomate got me this "legalize LA" shirt and I saw it on 2 people at Lolla. I really love it but have no idea what it is all about. Doug? Gay marriage? LA? Anyways I was wondering if you've seen it and possibly know what the deal with it is.
Peace and cookies. R

No worries... auntie fashionista has the answer.
Legalize LA is a campaign by American Apparel that is aimed at bringing attention to the more than 1 million immigrants that live in LA and contribute to it socially, economically and culturally. AA is trying to bring attention to getting these people the opportunity to becoming legal residents of the US.

Pretty cool!

Bye Bye Plain Old Band-Aid

Looks like bandages are the newest fashion accessory. Or at least, that's what the NY Times is saying. They remind of us of the time Marc Jacobs sold bandages printed with “Ouch!” and “Boo! Boo!” And inform us that now it is all about Swarovski crystals.

And I thought I was cute the day I wore a Nemo band-aid on my toe. C'est la vie!
