Trailer Alert (plus stills): Tarsem Singh’s ‘Snow White’ — starring Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer, Nathan Lane!

Posted on November 16, 2011 by Lauren Brokaw | Leave a comment

No one loves a fairy tale more than I do (I was an embarrassment to society at Disneyland last week), so you can imagine my happiness that not one but two Snow White movies are coming out in 2012 — with epic costumes and phenomenal directors! For me, the gorgeous costumes are just as exciting as these fairy tale live action films (we are not discussing or counting the Milificent movie as she terrorized my childhood).

I took it upon myself, as a civic duty, to share stills from the upcoming films because as you will see, the costumes are brilliant and I’m really excited about the director, Tarsem Singh (The Cell & The Fall - a truffle must see), whose proclivity for the most vivid and beautiful signature style is unbelievable. I’m v excited to see him break into mainstream film world; first up for him is Immortals, out soon! Continue reading →

#dtMusic: Will the real Lana Del Rey please stand up?

Posted on October 8, 2011 by Lauren Brokaw | 1 Comment

Lana looks like like Effie from UK Skins #justsaying

I came across Lana Del Rey on HYPE Machine tonight and found the situation she has herself in to be a very interesting one … according to the UK Telegraph she only has two songs yet 1.5 million hits on YouTube and a controversial former history as a failed artist called Lizzy Grant which she admittedly re-habed into internet sensation “Lana Del Rey” with the help of a professional team.

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

Posted on September 9, 2011 by Lauren Brokaw | Leave a comment

*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!

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.
