Missoni for Target drops << September 13th, 2011>> [UPDATED]

FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

*Ciao amici! The 400 plus piece Missoni collab with Target hits stores September 13th, 2011. Let’s just say that compared to other Target collabs I will not be waking up very early in the A.M. to snag up the lot of the collection.  The look book shoot abused the famed Italian house’s zig zag motif <<in MY opinion>> However, I do like and will be picking up some of the clothing items and a few of the household accessories. I am a bit afraid that in person some of this stuff will look and feel cheap, but fingers crossed that Target learned from the Rodarte collection #sorryimnotsorry.

Below are some of my favs and things I shall purchase from this collection, starting at $2.99; Godere**!

Translations: *Ciao amici = Hello friends, **Godere = Enjoy

U P D A T E – morning of 9/13: LET THE SHOPPING BEGIN!

U P D A T E – eve of 9/12: *THE MISSONI WEBSITE HAS SEVERAL ITEMS ONLINE BUT THE SITE HAS CRASHED!

U P D A T E - 9/11: Pre-sale SOLD OUT!


Obsession of the Moment: Pugs, Scottie Dogs & Japanese Chins take center stage in Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2011 Ad Campaign

For someone who isn’t a huge fan of what LV has become over the years…. Gimme some dogs in ads and you have partially won me back!

While driving on Sunset Blvd. last week, my eye was suddenly caught off guard with two Japanese Chins and model Anais Pouliot.  I desp want to play with the chien on the right! Click to Continue Reading

We came, we shopped, we drank their (delish organic cocktails by Kanon*) vodka … lead by our host, friend of the Truffle, and current Entourage cast member Mr. Scott Caan (who I also must mention was a trending topic twice yesterday). Funny enough a new Twitter wonder – mostly thanks to Aziz Ansari – erupted called #CaanTV which basically goes something like this: Click to Continue Reading

DT Archives: Years of my live MTV Award and After Party Posts!

FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

While you wait for my coverage from tonight, why not look at a few old posts?

I have been partaking in MTV Award events for yearsss, going way back to when they were at Sony Studios in Culver City; boy has it been interesting!  From the days where Dylan’s Candy Bar provided boxes of candy under your seat to Sasha Baron Cohen as (Bruno) landing on Eminem’s face to Travis Barker and Dj AM being the “In House” Djs, I have seen it all.

Obsession of the Moment: Posh & Becks 2.0 … ? Robbie & Claudine Keane have officially landed

FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

I’ve been hearing a lot of about LA Galaxy new team mate, Robbie Keane and wifey Claudine, mostly in comparison to David and Victoria Beckham.

The Irish couple had quite the photo op after landing at LAX today, JUST like the day Posh and Becks landed in LA in 2007.

Fresh of the boat, Robbie has come to LA after singing a 2 year deal with The Los Angeles Galaxy (WHO?) for a 4.5 million pay check.  He has been quoted saying that he took a pay cut for the weather, aww, how nice of him to grace us with his presence :-/

This is all making sense to me now!  LA Galaxy stadium is in Carson, which is very close to Orange County.  The first time I saw Claudine all I could think about was her being cast as a future Real Housewife of OC.

I Love You But … $39,000 for a back pack (like this one from Mary Kate & Ashely Olsen for example) is pretty redic …

Croc back pack LA Native's MK and A Olsen

And yes, there have been orders placed at Barney’s for this redic trendy item! If you MUST, buy a Birkin or Kelly for 9 grand or be smart and just get a nice classic Chanel for 3 grand. Oh, and in case you didn’t know, back packs are back. According to Ashley O, the $39,000 backpack from the Olsen twins’ luxury fashion line The Row was “the first thing that sold off the shelf.” She also noted ”During our last economic crisis in the U.S., the only thing that went up was Hermès … ” that’s why she decided it would work to design a pricey sac.
