ttF Fashion Diary: Modern Art and New Style Sashimi
After having my hair and makeup done, getting dressed was a breeze. It was a cold rainy night so I wanted to stay warm. I turned my Missoni sweater into a dress with Twisted Silver’s necklace worn as a belt and a couple of strips of my trusty Bristol 6 Stylin’ Tape. The green and gold stripes looked beautiful with my makeup that I’m just praying I can recreate.
Speaking of beautiful, I went with my equally beautifully made up mom to Moët & Chandon’s Tom Munro exhibit. The photographer was releasing his book and proceeds went to help Malawi. The photos of the A-list actors were truly remarkable but my first pick was hands-down Kate Winslet. It took my breath away.
After some bubbly, my mom and I dined at my absolute fave restaurant in LA, Matsuhisa. So delish.

ttF Fashion Diary: Purple Pampering
Oscar weekend can be stressful but boy does it have its perks. One of them being there are many opportunities to get pampered. Today, I took my mother, who’s visiting for the weekend, to the Pre-Oscar Prep and Primp Party at the Argyle Salon & Spa to celebrate the new Oribe concept salon. Gaudy PR handled the event and the fab Avo Yermagyn (the male pictured below) set up hair and makeup for us. I got an amazing blowout by Joseph Chase then makeup by Sharon Gault aka Mama Makeup (the redhead) and Ashlee D (the Angelina Jolie look-a-like). Yes, I had two people working on me. It was pretty awesome. Plus, they used Youngblood, which is rapidly becoming one of my fave makeup brands.
As we got glammed up rainy night downstairs, Penelope Cruz was getting made up upstairs at the Sunset Tower Hotel, the same spot where every A-lister will be after the Oscars for Vanity Fair’s annual party.
On a side note, I just realized I must really like purple and turquoise together. This is the second time in just a couple of weeks that I’ve worn the color combo.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Jumpsuiting Around
Today was a fashion challenge. I needed to create an outfit with February’s fashion staples that could take me from the office, to a Laker game and then to a birthday cocktail party. Luckily, I had epiphany upon remembering how I styled my jumpsuit in an Ask ThinkThru post on what to wear from work to an event.
For work, I played with color, pairing a turquoise necklace with my purple cardi. When it was time for the game, I threw the necklace in my purse and added purple and gold cuffs to watch the Lakers beat Philadelphia. After leaving Staples center, I added some sparkle with oversize hoops and left the cardigan in the car to sex it up a bit for a party in the hills. And my trusty Michael Kors Berkley sandals took me from 10am to 1am. Of course my feet were thrilled to slip into EMUs when I got home to walk Bunny but they didn’t even start hurting until the 10th hour. Pretty amazing for a 4-inch heel, huh? I’ve recommended these sandals before and my friends have thanked me numerous times. They’re incredibly comfortable—and now they’re on sale, too.

*Note: I only recommend the Kors sandals in black patent or fabric. I just steered a reader away from gunmetal. The shoe doesn’t look nearly as nice in metallic or animal print.
ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Burberry’s 3D Debut
Burberry Prorsum made fashion history tonight when the label live-streamed its Fall 2010 collection around the world. I was lucky enough to be invited to the Los Angeles event, hosted by The Daily Beast’s Tina Brown, at Milk Studio. Because of the time zone difference, we were the only city that didn’t see the show while Kate Hudson, Kristen Stewart, Mary-Kate Olsen and Claire Danes watched in London from the front row.
My blazer and new lia sophia chain and pearl necklace took me from the office straight to the event—and matched oh so well with the 3D Burberry glasses we were given for our virtual front row seat. And it took me long enough but I finally am taking a liking to the over the knee boot. Burberry’s leather ones for fall were absolutely killer. And they didn’t look trashy whatsoever since they were paired with knee-length skirts and covetable outerwear.

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Velvet Drama
I’ve been going to so many shows that even the thought of a night out is exhausting. But I promised my New York bestie at least one girl’s night. We were going to dinner first so wearing second skin velvet wasn’t the brightest choice but I figured at least it would keep me from over indulging. It ended up not mattering. Long story short, there was the drama at the restaurant and we ended eating at some less fancy joint in Times Square then ditching the clubs for girl’s talk in our pajamas. It’s too bad, too. I really liked my outfit and thought my brooch with bracelets combo was pretty clever. C’est la vie.
