I just saw my friend Kevin post pictures from the Dennis Hopper exhibition when it hit me that I still hadn't blogged about my own visit to the museum! It's been a crazy month, let me tell you. So once again we hop into the time machine and head back...   read more

My pick for Best Dressed of the 2010 Emmy's is Claire Danes. It's probably not a surprise since it occurred to me that it's a very Kimberly ensemble. Beachy hair, sunny makeup, sparkles but in a nude minimal shape (thanks to Mr. Armani here), and minimal jewelry...though even I would...   read more

I've highlighted Men of Style before on GlamAmor, including the trendsetting Steve McQueen, and I enjoyed it so much I've decided to make it a regular blog. Since I just caught Dr. No yet again the other day, I took that to mean that I should continue highlighting GlamAmor's perfect...   read more

When I first started GlamAmor years ago, one of the earliest articles I did was on the style of Lauren Bacall. As sometimes happens with technology, an effort to make a couple changes to the original post unfortunately deleted it entirely. And so, because she is currently TCM's Star of...   read more

A month after first visiting the Jeanie Madsen Gallery for a Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce party, I once again returned for the opening of its "Urban Abstractions" show. The show didn't disappoint, namely because many of the same great artists that I enjoyed so much from the "America Dreamn'"...   read more

This was such a fun-filled weekend. Sunday was my friend Shane's birthday and I was invited to brunch with her at Royal/T in Culver City. To kick off the celebration, she received this 1950s ivory silk dress from GlamAmor as a gift from her dad. She had tried it on...   read more

Today we celebrate the birth of an extraordinary woman and designer--Coco Chanel. As everyone knows, Chanel is a name synonymous with extremely high quality in the world of fashion.

Last night I indulged in watching Josef von Sternberg's 1930 classic Morocco before heading out for my Saturday evening. It's a perfect hot summer movie as Von Sternberg's cinematography really captures the heat of Morocco, and I'm a sucker for any of those black and white movies that are set...   read more

Last night took me to Hollywood to party and shop a pop up store at Space 15 Twenty. There were several great groups involved in it--Racked LA, Designers + Artists (DNA), and Hearty magazine--so I was excited to go. I'm really impressed by DNA, which is a collective of various...   read more

As I've mentioned before, I think my hair is a big reason that I'm able to wear so much vintage and have it seem modern. I always make sure that the cut suits me and how I live, and that includes a wide range of activities from elegant evenings out...   read more

After a two month absence, the sun finally reappeared--in the morning, no less--here in Santa Monica. I awoke to clear blue skies and gorgeous weather and could not have been more appreciative. I also got to spend much of my day on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica and all around...   read more
