I haven’t seen such an old Hollywood slash classic beauty like kind of LA native* Hailee Steinfeld in a long time. (*Thousand Oaks isn’t LA, but since I love her so I will allow it just this once.)
FACT: Miu Miu will always be one of my all time favorites. Continue reading

The Wall Street Journal has an article out today called How to Spot a Fake, which explains fine stitching, chain detail, and the way high quality leather lays. But we at the Truffle want to warn an unknowing lady who reads this article, any good Truffle reader don’t need a guide. We just know. Rather it’s a single loose thread, hardware that’s slightly tarnished, a shade the designer never ever used, we just know. I have never seen a good fake bag and I have been shown everything from Bangok to SoHo and I am telling you, there is NO SUCH THING as a “good fake.” I cannot even tell you the amount of women I see walking down the street or at parties who have no idea how terrible their fakes are … and we all see them. A future victum of a fake bag probably won’t know these things since a fake bag shopper probably doesn’t shop or know the brand well enough to know these small differences – but trust us – it’s like being able to find your baby at daycare. They don’t all look the same.
I am in Beverly Hills, I am new to town, I have quite the pedigree, I can see the ocean and hills, I have a restaurant and a pool, my name is short, I am very chic. Where am I?

Nicole Richie can now add hand bag designer to her C.V. The LA native announced today that come mid July a 14 piece collection including clutches, cross body, and hobo bags will be available at Shopbop, Bergdorf’s, Neiman’s, Nordstrom and fine online e-commerce sites.
Richie, mother of two, designs shoes, jewelry, and sunglasses under the House of Harlow 1960 brand in addition to her flowy bohemian inspired Winter Kate line.
While I am not usually dying for anything HOH, I am def excited for this off shoot as the prices are reasonable for the Alexander McQueen/ Judith Leiber ish detailed style inspiration… with that Nicole Richie aesthetic.
Prices range from $150-625.
I’ll be taking one of each.

The REAL Coachella is going down right now in the UK with headliner Beyonce *(the first ever female headliner for this fest). Glastonbury runs from June 26, 2011 in England. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Glastonbury Festival. Alexa Chung has on a Pamela Love necklace called their 16- Skull Necklace, FYI. Photo courtesy of Getty
Gad midsommar! What better way to spend Midsummer, the oh so magical Swedish holiday, than to eat, drink, and be merry with Jeremy Scott and Kanon Organic Vodka at the Sunset Marquis Hotel. The North Villa Gardens at the Sunset Marquis were the perfect setting for this ethereal luncheon, honoring the very important Swedish holiday marking the astronomical beginning of Summer which also celebrates fertility, magic, and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better Midsummer thanks to great company, most delicious food (SMH, who knew?!), and specialty drinks for our 3 course luncheon.

Prepare for the trial of the century …. We thought Julian Assange was gonna be interesting! Whitey Bulger, a wanted Boston gangland baron, who was Jack Nicholson’s inspiration for his role in the the 2006 Martin Scorsese classic, “The Departed”, was recently caught after a $100,000 reward for the whereabouts of his long time girlfriend lead to his capture. Whitey posed as a tourist to visit ALCATRAZ during his epic 16-year run from justice and took pictures in a photo booth for tourist where you can dress up in prison stripes. Apparently the pictures are out there to prove it! Here are a few videos to catch you up on what is probably going to result in one of the more interesting trials in American history.
