Wildfox Couture SS13 + Clueless = Best Lookbook Ever!!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, nothing has influenced who I am today more than the 1995 hit movie, Clueless.  If I didn’t have Kate Middleton listed as my religion on Facebook, I would list Clueless.  For Wildfox Couture‘s SS13 Lookbook, designer, Kimberly Gordon, paid tribute to the cultural phenomenon created by Amy Heckerling that transformed an era of grunge fashion into one of the upscale Beverly Hills teen complete with computerized closets and phrases such as “As If” and “Totally Bogus.”

Growing up as a kid in the 90s with Cher Horowitz as my childhood idol gave me the belief that anything is possible and that a girl can really have it all.  Many thanks to Kimberly Gordon and Wildfox Couture for bringing me back to my childhood self with their amazing SS13 collection.  To view the complete lookbook visit the I Love Wildfox Blog.

I always loved Cher’s Jeep and 90s cell phone

How the Other Half Lives: Los Angeles

At the height of the heat wave raking havoc on patio parties and electric bills across the East Coast, it’s time those of us stuck on the scorching island of Manhattan considered other options. Whoever said that it’s not the heat that will kill you, but the humidity, was 1000% correct. I think it’s safe to say that global warming has many a New York-based Aspiring Socialite desperate for a Hamptons house with a pool and/or a bicoastal lifestyle. Though I’ve never been, I hear it’s always 72 degrees and sunny 3000 miles away in La La Land AKA Los Angeles. Weather and real estate is where L.A. socialites have us New Yorkers beat. Though this heat wave is coming to a close and temperatures are predicted to be comfortably in the 80’s, I’m far from letting go of my dream of someday partying high in the Hollywood Hills and shopping on Rodeo Drive.

I love my L.A. counterparts! Photos compliments of the lovely Alexandra DiNovi, Hollywood actress, L.A. socialite, and one of my best Twitter pals who I hope to party with in person soon. Check out her IMDb page.

Young Hollywood Up and Comer: Alexandra DiNovi


While New York is a city of aspiring socialites, Los Angeles is one of aspiring actors.  But, why not have the best of both worlds?  After all, both socialites and actors need headshots.  I have recently become Twitter pals with the incredibly talented, Alexandra DiNovi, a Beverly Hills-based socialite and actress.  Aside from throwing huge over the top parties in Beverly Hills on Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day for hundreds of her nearest and dearest and cruising about town with BFF, Jaimie Hilfiger, Alexandra DiNovi won Best Actress at the 2010 New York International Film Festival for her leading role in Purity, A Dark Film.  She has been known to attend red carpet and private social events in L.A. on a regular basis.

Originally from Hinsdale, Illinois, this red carpet mogul was discovered in a restaurant while she was in high school.  Like many great actresses with a dream, Alexandra made the move to sunny Los Angeles to study Theatre, Communications, and Screenwriting at Loyola Marymount University.  Alexandra DiNovi is a face you are going to want to watch.  I see great things for her and am looking forward to partying it up socialite style with her next time she is in NYC.  As aspiring up in comers, we have a lot in common.  You can also catch Lexi on the radio/TV show she hosts known as Late Nights with Lexi. Many thanks to Lexi for being a fabulous actress, socialite, fashionista, and friend.  Best of luck in all you do.

Glam Rock SoBe Collection Debuts in Hollywood

Elegant watches have long been a symbol of wealth and class.  Socialites have always been known to sport designer watches as a true symbol of timeless style.  Though the wristwatch has now been replaced by cell phones as a primary means of telling time, the classic watch still remains an iconic fashion accessory for every season.

Today, Glam Rock Watches debuted their SoBe Collection in Hollywood with the announcement of a special partnership with the Give Back Hollywood Foundation‘s new Hollywood Pledge campaign.  Celebrity ambassadors for this campaign include the recently engaged Kim Kardashian, Jewel, and Denzel Washington.  In honor of this wonderful cause, the Miami-based watch designer will be selling limited edition Hollywood Pledge watches with part of the proceeds going directly to the pledge.

SoBe watches allow women to instantly change the look of their watch with patented “Just Click” technology inspired by how people in Miami transition from the office to the beach or from a boat to a party.  In one motion both the and straps case cover can be changed for an entirely new look.  Though Hollywood Pledge formally launches today, some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities will be attending the ultra exclusive VIP Launch Party and beauty retreat at a private Beverly Hills mansion on Saturday in honor of this ever so “timeless” partnership.
