Kelsi Smith is probably the hardest working non-designer in the LA fashion scene. The blogger/promoter/marketing maven/gal, who’s almost single-handedly rescued LA Fashion Week a bunch of times, recently coordinated a flea market stocked by friends, colleagues, fellow bloggers, and a few of our city’s rising design stars. On Sunday, we went down there to shop, [...]
The world’s most famous pinkhead, Tarina Tarantino, is going to dose DTLA with her pink, sparkly fairydust: She’s just announced plans to take over the historic L.L. Burns’ Western Costume Building on Broadway. The huge building will serve as ground zero for Tarantino’s creative endeavors: it will include a flagship retail boutique, design headquarters, production [...]
“This jewelry makes me want to eat it. It’s completely delicious. In fact it looks like it’s already been well-sucked.” Leave it to Tilda Swinton to inject something risque into what might otherwise have been just another Rodeo Drive boutique opening. The striking actress almost literally tent-poled the Pomellato debut last night, standing well over [...]
Hillary Rush, one of the boutique retailers that grew L.A.’s 3rd Street from a nondescript byway to the Beverly Center into one of the city’s most bustling shopping corridors, is packing up her bags and moving to the Berkshires. In an email bearing the subject line “Yes It’s True. Everything Must Go, Including Me,” Rush [...]

Since this isn’t a music or thinky blog, we’re not going to dish on her songs or the rightness or wrongness of a middlin’ pop singer reinventing herself [...]
Forget poufy ball gowns. The look of the SAG awards was long and lean — and covered up. “Boardwalk Empire’s” Gretchen Mol and perennial fashion plate, Michelle Williams (in Valentino), looked particularly lovely in the look. Down with super-obvious cleavage!
Two of our favorite “Glee” actresses, Naya Rivera and Jayma Mays, went all sparkly in sequins dresses that channel classic Hollywood va-va-voom. Gorgeous!
Channeling Michelle Pfeiffer in “Scarface,” Rose Byrne rocked a glittering white jumpsuit by Elie Saab to tonight’s SAG Awards, her hair cut into a late 1970s-esque bob. So glam and modern.
Rachel Pally, queen of the jersey dress, is holding her annual Warehouse Sale this Thursday through Sunday — with her signature line and plus-size White Label line marked down from 55% to 85% off. Expect racks full of swingy jersey looks priced from $25 to $75. Collections include Holiday 2011, and pretty everything leading up [...]
1) See Rodarte’s Fra Angelico collection at LACMA. You like pretty dresses, right? This mesmerizing collection of dresses was inspired by the work of Italian Renaissance masters, which means it’s even more over-the-top theatrical than the Mulleavy’s usual fine fare.
