Friday evening with Michelle continued over at the Viceroy, which is also in Santa Monica off of Ocean Avenue. Formerly the Pacific Shore Hotel, for those of you familiar with the area, the Viceroy is a hotel that was originally built in the late 1960s. That architecture remains, but the...   read more

Whether you're a man or a woman, I can sum up the reason to see Bullitt in two words: Steve McQueen. Peter Yates directed Bullitt in 1968 and captured Steve at his height. It was written to his strength as a man's man, a tough guy with a rough past...   read more

Last year I went home to Washington to celebrate one of my father's important milestone birthdays (don't worry, Dad, I won't share which one). Now I think we all know that you can't have a family celebration without breaking out the old photos, and I was absolutely blown away when...   read more

The Hotel Casa del Mar is one of my favorite places. In a city that's often libeled for its lack of history, I love that this hotel proves quite the contrary is true in Los Angeles. The hotel owes its beginnings to the bathhouses of the late 1800s that were...   read more

I get two comments on the street more than any other. One is some form of "I love your hair!" and the flurry of questions that accompany the compliment...what products I use, how I style it, and who cuts it for me. The other comment I hear is some form...   read more

Due to the luxury found in the fantasy of the movies, chiffon, taffeta, and tulle (oh my!) have long been turned into glorious gowns for actresses. Case in point, the Edith Head creation adorning Grace Kelly in Rear Window above. At the time, those types of gowns didn't really have...   read more

As I looked through my latest crop of fashion magazines, I happened across a page in this month's People Style Watch where they extoll the virtue of vintage and how vintage shopping helps our efforts to be green. They gave a particular shout out to those of us on eBay....   read more

Who me? Well, not exactly. I adore my dresses, as anyone who knows me can tell you. But because I surf, I can be a real t-shirt and jeans kind of girl on the weekends. If I want to have lunch or go shopping after the beach, I'll just pair...   read more

Once upon a time, I needed an affordable wardrobe for work. That is how my relationship began with vintage about a decade or so ago. Fortunately, that element is still true today as you can find vintage at fantastic prices...like going on a trip to J. Crew but you come...   read more
