Wishing You Were Here...

On hot summer LA days, I have a bit of nostalgia for cooler weather and cozy cashmere scarfs...

Art in the Blog

Last Monday I was treated to a great exhibit, Art in the Streets, at the MOCA Geffen by no other than Banksy! Every Monday, until August 8th, Banksy is sponsoring free admission to this fabulous exhibit. So if you have a Monday off and you're in the LA area, make the trek over to Little Tokyo and pay the $8 parking for Art in the Streets. 

With your free admission ticket in hand, make your way up the ramp to the left of the entrance. Once at the top gallery, your lesson begins here. The timeline explores the decades of street art and its major milestones from one end of the gallery to the other, commencing in the year 2010 and the docu-movie Exit Through the Gift Shop. The rooms in between represent some of the most influential movements and artists in street art's history. As to be expected, the great crowd pleasers are Shepard Fairey and Banksy--with installations, wall art and stencils. If you keep an eye out, you'll spot the groups of Space Invader fans wandering the Geffen trying to find hidden tiled characters at every turn.

hash-tag Milano Fashion Week

I'd say I apologize for my impatience and inability to keep MFW to one posting, BUT let's be realistic--too much of a good thing can't be caged in! Day 3 did not falter nor did it underwhelm. Enjoy!

Side note: typically I am not impressed by Versace, not the case this time around--brava!

I "heart" Fall

I always pegged myself for a Summer gal until I realized the beauty the Fall could bring. I'm not sure if it's the cozy coats, the supple leather, the luxe fur or all the above, but I <3 FALL!

Oh So Gangster and Glam for Gucci

Milan Fashion Week has only just begun, but I am drooling over Gucci's Fall 2011! I keep on picturing a 1920's gangster-style gun protruding from an ostrich handbag or an old Hollywood starlet poolside a la "I Love Lucy" (the later years).
