Last night I was invited to visit the Burberry store in Beverly Hills for a private event. It was one of 25 Burberry stores around the world that showed select customers the recent Spring 2011 runway show from London Fashion Week. Before the show started, there were never-before-seen interviews with <u>Sarah Jessica Parker</u>, <u>Mario Testino</u>, <u>Serena Williams</u> and <u>Alexa Chung</u> before they walked inside to claim their seats.<div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sure you're all thinking big deal...streaming videos is common with runway shows nowadays. But Burberry took it one step further. Last night they created a special iPad app (only for in-store use) that allowed their invited guests to purchase select pieces straight from the runway. All of the orders placed will go directly into production with an expected delivery date of seven weeks. Amazing, getting pieces of Burberry's Spring 2011 collection before Thanksgiving...long before they would be delivered to stores starting in December. It's instant gratification at its best.<br /><br />If you weren't lucky enough to be invited to one of their stores last night, you can recreate the experience in the comfort of your own home minus the passed nibbles and drinks. Visit the<a href="http://us.burberry.com/home/index.jsp"> Burberry website</a> to watch the show and order select pieces before September 28.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUR5F0aGPGaXKZsPsNfRGwB953LWriDoIJ8ZBlGujKOZFkISRw1ci8ODrwkvebtWS5IzBsZ3k_3WmToM0RgTVv6wRz4IqjxEN12oLyCIaY0OHaQ4YWdaH7wIkmwXV4b6RXPwgn5iZ5wHg/s400/Screen+shot+2010-09-22+at+1.42.30+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519895488714283266" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 265px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtT59TQJw16TA3L5c5bn91yQ5vCUz29WH42aRnRtnqx3SSo9NQhecTZ75wXYzbObMKODzEhRLJc8gXWvQ1ftoAnACbm4Cyzmt61gDR_8V6oFsLi0CbzebJe3VCXg2I8OlSyK_0aHFZTKc/s400/Screen+shot+2010-09-22+at+1.51.31+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519895512894612658" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dying over the long motorcycle jacket...I so need it in my closet!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">{Burberry Prorsum Spring 2011}</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>And the show...where to even begin. I've said it before, Burberry is no longer just your mother's brand anymore thanks to Christopher Bailey. He has brought a new edginess to the brand that works beautifully. There were fun bright colors, animal prints, studs and leather shown on the runway. The collection is right up my alley and I can't wait to see the entire line when it's delivered to stores. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 263px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqL19AG9FlbSb5TbIoHdN1bsD-b-vENsYd7EgNHKrpQ2RWbjPcW6fwspKiBcU36wjsuyWQt-jaybUupo4ZtFmZGJ-h5wXz0K8yxaBynWOVUbqHBjgZPKTVaIlRV7vGUHSUBWrbPtDyOwY/s400/Screen+shot+2010-09-22+at+1.10.05+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519895509524092386" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">{Burberry Prorsum Spring 2011}</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">You can view the entire runway show below...enjoy!</div><div><br /><object style="background-image:url(http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/n51LNPrBOIU/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n51LNPrBOIU?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n51LNPrBOIU?fs=1&hl=en_US" width="480" height="295" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00649987971141877465noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205269021419498846.post-88492790979211386142010-08-30T00:00:00.000-07:002010-08-30T00:00:09.505-07:00La Mer Regenerating Serum, A New Love<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>It comes as no surprise that I am a <a href="http://www.redsolediary.com/2010/03/perfect-eye-cream.html">devoted La Mer</a> girl when it comes to skincare. As most of you know, I fell in love with the line over five years ago while traveling and have not looked back since. When I learned La Mer recently introduced a new Regenerating Serum to their line I was intrigued and had to check it out. Especially with the promise that ones skin will look rejuvenated in a day, and over time wrinkles and pores will be diminished for an overall ageless look.<div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubf5rzO6D07gzx3HM713HTpZ3BOxpQG6WuXQGQgdqvcrW50uNbpRZWyXhrjqsNvpW2ca1ww5RsxHBPcXX1dj_yaao4vFLAYG3VFVM5GpUe1i4lEFYeBFx4ElHA2vIfHVmXOCKvIry82U/s400/lm_2N0601_246.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510959573322124578" /><div><br /></div><div>The past few weeks my life has been extra crazy so it was a perfect time to see if the La Mer serum lived up to its promises. When my life gets crazy it shows in my skin. After two days of using the serum in my morning and evening cleansing routine I noticed a pretty substantial difference. My skin looked looked smooth and flawless. That was not something I was expecting to happen, especially with all of the craziness happening in my life. I've continued using the serum and I love the results. </div><div><br /></div><div>It took La Mer over four years and hundreds of hours in the lab to create the ultra-luxe Regenerating Serum. I have to agree it was time well spent!</div><div><br /></div><div>For more information or to purchase your own serum, visit the <a href="http://www.lamer.com/">La Mer website</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#C0C0C0;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">(La Mer sent a sample of the Regenerating Serum for my review)</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div><a href="http://www.lamer.com/"></a></div><a href="http://www.lamer.com/"></a>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00649987971141877465noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205269021419498846.post-9533861056847355282010-08-08T19:52:00.000-07:002010-08-09T15:41:44.192-07:00Fashion Los Angeles - The Future of LA Fashion<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Last week I met with Michael Venedicto, CEO of <a href="http://www.fashionlosangeles.org/">Fashion Los Angeles</a> to learn more about the organization. Fashion Los Angeles is looking to be the new platform in everything fashion for Los Angeles. They are taking on the large task of streamlining LA's current fashion week(s) and presenting a united front at one central location in downtown LA. Currently LA Fashion Week (LAFW) is in reality a month long with events spread all throughout LA. Each event is produced by a different organization claiming to be "the official leader" for LAFW. As someone who has had to travel all over for LAFW, I am excited for the possibility of staying in one place to see all of the fashion shows.<div><br /><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 315px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKDGqlqlGOP97kxC8LYQBI1LklRBPxpUpVbwJFQ7VskJ0w-pum_C102FMslzoebcCGYdJWLM20TnnjSya8IavmKIshr4MiUuC6ixx118_KEOHSkw23ipvWfLa7D-_hLIW70fk0LDrwbU/s400/6a010536eecf37970c0133f2c9f2c0970b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503258285319084146" /></div><div><br /></div><div>Fashion Los Angeles has taken on a large task and I am very excited to see what happens next February when they launch the first LAFW under their umbrella. But two weeks of runway shows (one in the spring and fall) is not were Fashion Los Angeles is stopping...no, that is just where they are starting. They plan to merge media, technology, design, beauty and of course fashion into various programs and events all year long to boost the Los Angeles fashion community as the world takes notice.<br /><div><br /></div><div>I know I am excited for the future of fashion in Los Angeles.

Some of you may think I'm crazy for spending money on a Burberry umbrella, but let me tell you they are the best you can buy.

I am attempting to get caught up and share all of the fabulous happenings with you all. <div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>A few weeks ago I was invited to a private viewing of the Burberry 2010 Fall Collection at the Beverly Hills store. It was an amazing event and the highlight was meeting Christopher Bailey in person. Then it was off for a fun lunch with my girls, <a href="http://www.lauriebstyle.com/l">Laurie</a> and <a href="http://www.wendybendoni.blogspot.com/">Wendy</a>. There was so much laughing at lunch, I wish we could do it all the time!

The next stop of the day was to check out <a href="http://www.anamuonline.com/l">ANAMU's</a> fall trunk show at 3020 Resale in LA. <a href="http://www.anamuonline.com/">ANAMU</a>, creates amazing clutches and jewelry from vintage scarves and fabrics. I met Ana Maria last year at a fashion event and immediately fell in love with her clutch she was wearing only to find out she was the designer. In theory I love vintage, but I'm not one to go digging through piles of clothes to find that hidden gem. I'm more comfortable shopping for vintage once it's been picked through and displayed for easier shopping. 3020 Resale did just that, and I've found a new place to hunt for fabulous vintage finds. The trunk show was amazing and I'm so excited to see the next collection Ana Maria creates.</div><div><br /></div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 383px; height: 510px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qdolRNHnKYLXZ5AXHoLR1abhX0LJNTirp2mKdB7evAIXpjQ7ZVY6HhKDpcpBylURYoth_-uuCg8RppoeWWm22agucf9M46GHXbcEC85YsBDoKp0DpHdy6hY8jMkCjZlnerT6Ouj6_ss/s400/IMG_2668.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501192496527487762" border="0" /><div style="text-align: center;">{Ana Maria and Laurie at the trunk show}</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>While at the trunk show, I started chatting with a fun gentleman who was non other than Paul Sorvino. He had all sorts of stories and definitely livened up the event. After chatting for a bit I soon learned he had a studio across the way with some of his bronze sculptures. He offered to show them to myself and some of the others in his studio. I was intrigued and was blown away with his work. A true Renaissance man. </div><div><br /></div><div>From meeting Christopher Bailey, shopping and then a surprise encounter with Paul Sorvino...it turned out to be one of those extraordinary days. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><object style="background-image: url(http://i2.ytimg.com/vi/uwAPD9IyNgs/hqdefault.jpg);" height="295" width="480"></object></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00649987971141877465noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205269021419498846.post-25244399676229701182010-07-21T21:15:00.000-07:002010-07-21T21:56:45.902-07:00Movado Watch LA Preview: Bold New Designs<span style=";font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;" >Last week I was invited to preview the </span><span style=";font-family:Georgia;font-size:100%;" >new <a href="http://www.movado.com/">Movado</a> watch collections at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons.

I started using the line a few years ago when my husband and I traveled around the world. I was desperate to figure out how I was going to bring enough beauty products with me until I realized La Mer was sold in most of the airport duty-free shops. My problem was solved and I fell in love with an amazing product line. My new favorite is the <a href="http://www.cremedelamer.com/templates/products/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY5782&PRODUCT_ID=PROD7643"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">La Mer SPF 18 Fluid Tint</span></a>. It's a combination of La Mer's moisturizing skincare with a subtle tint and sunscreen. I love how it feels on my skin. It's light and perfect for summer giving your skin a sun-kissed glow all while protecting against harmful rays from the sun. My skin looks so luminous like I just came from a facial. I'll share more products I love from La Mer in the future.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia;"><br /></span></p><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 333px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh52aVeCWi3MH8ch2k6VcHqNSYYYgS-PzmvtM3mtUWdPqKocMI5-Bg4UBmScQe0ByS_5oJjV6DrJZjy03_DhD0JNV9v6DkZzWMdreHdXAc7xo-wiNqiQF25z6WAXKTWRg8SR3rLdMleTFs/s400/HLSH_redsole_big.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491382825666780002" /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I was excited when I learned earlier this year, that Karen Robinovitz started a beauty line called </span><a href="http://www.purplelabnyc.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Purple Lab</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">. She has been a fashion insider for many years and I have always admired her from afar. I checked out the line as soon as it was available. One of my favorite products are the lip glosses with lip plumper. With the title of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><a href="http://www.purplelabnyc.com/products-huge-lips-skinny-hips/hlsh-red-sole">"Huge Lips Skinny Hips"</a> </span>how can you not love them immediately? Imagine my utter glee when I realized quite by accident that my favorite color out of all eight shades is called "Red Sole," how appropriate! The reason I love these glosses is that even though they are a lip plumper it doesn't feel like your lips are being stung by thirty bees at the same time, just a slight tingle when you first apply. The gloss goes on very sheer, like you just bit down on your lip for a little color. I have always been a lip-gloss girl. I love the natural and minimal look that is achieved with glosses. I never leave home without my Red Sole gloss, as it has become a staple in my make-up bag.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-;font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-pagination: none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="mso-bidi-;font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 325px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfOedJlhtkYGiCrQgaDYuBwDhoi1j1EJoGUuBlB5BwRy0Cpr1eFQxFAmj-_eVCfXSuDNg9B2oeqxexnDsEEXcKgJSVIMl0efM74D01jsiDRBEDZosIxlVWZvW5JLFTlIsL_krZSJGSA3A/s400/Screen+shot+2010-07-06+at+4.17.56+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491338822686217554" /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style=" mso-bidi-;font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">How can we talk about beauty products and not mention hair care?

These shows are a great way to see new up-and-coming designers and their collections. This show was busier than the previous one I attended during the last LA Fashion Week. Unfortunately, I missed half of the show due to traffic for the Lakers but was able to view the collections up close after the show.</div><div><br /><div>My favorite line from the show was <a href="http://kerrynleigh.com/home.html">Kerryn Leigh</a>. It consisted of great basic pieces that can be mixed and matched for numerous looks. The philosophy behind the line was to create wardrobe classics that live beyond trends and seasons. The pieces were so soft to touch and felt like a soft hug against your skin. This line is one that I could see making its way into my closet.</div><div><br /></div><div>While walking among the booths after the show, I ran into Alexana from <a href="http://www.dollimou.com/">Dollimou</a> who showed her collection at the last Designer Launchpad. She's an absolute doll in person and since I was there, she showed me what was coming in her next few collections. I love her line as it's perfect "beach chic" and am very excited for her holiday collection.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am looking forward to seeing the next batch of new-comers CMC showcases in its next Designer Launchpad.</div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo5yZbCsU1WRJxyrI7-VPh8X2l4G9TgB6S7tSl6UoG3X6Bozs7wT4p3MTcIyJRlkyn9H7y-draNExTP4DP0jormGOn3QMWUQ60K-h3ehDxdTefoEpyslRVhFhPDlUg3Lg8CdZR4Z6v_PU/s400/IMG_4560.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5489362470162996914" /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://betterinfrench.com/">Miranda</a> & I at the Designer Launchpad Runway Show. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">{what I'm wearing: Dress: Betsey Johnson, Shoes: Derek Lam, Bag: Louis Vuitton}</span></div></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00649987971141877465noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205269021419498846.post-87775234634803592922010-06-28T22:36:00.000-07:002010-06-29T09:54:35.226-07:00Riki Handbangs -True Fashion Investment Pieces<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lEZTMSDmCkK2gRPAGgfweiwrEgZ8egO-xasmwLZhF3RPtorbQA8Ks-px5T-0aq9DlNKNLRL0QUgjxHe7S5nCb9Sx_knYi6WiidXvaPph7QwZyLxNqA2C1ZOKGbn-oa-HlBq9LBmQ04w/s1600/IMG_2626.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 477px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lEZTMSDmCkK2gRPAGgfweiwrEgZ8egO-xasmwLZhF3RPtorbQA8Ks-px5T-0aq9DlNKNLRL0QUgjxHe7S5nCb9Sx_knYi6WiidXvaPph7QwZyLxNqA2C1ZOKGbn-oa-HlBq9LBmQ04w/s400/IMG_2626.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488083259652495938" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Every girl needs a great classic handbag in her closet.

After a wonderful day at <a href="http://www.redsolediary.com/2010/06/technology-and-fashion-such-stylish.html">Fashion Camp LA</a>, I headed downtown with my husband to check out Kinect for Xbox 360 at a private VIP event. The event was held in the Penthouse at <a href="http://loftseven.com/loftseven.php">Loft 7</a> in downtown Los Angeles. The space was unbelievable. Throughout the 16,000 sq. ft. space Xbox had nine gaming stations set up so guests could experience and play with the Kinect for Xbox 360 as they were mingling.<div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9BgYhy-gywFWtAAMv9nYvWH0W7c3ssrQ90S_gy4UrCZKM6ps1k-e1nQpPPAVFJxxbh7sJhADoZ0SbGGrJsA4rH4KcqDEAnPjjSmTuyOzi5get199PyOcCdrFIFrZ3zeE8HUBZHY-zVAU/s400/IMG_2420.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482857966013320962" /><div>Kinect for Xbox 360 is Microsoft's latest edition, where you are the controller. With Kinect's sensor it translates your body's movements to play the game. There are no straps or controllers, just you and your body movements are all you need to feel like you are rafting down a river or jumping over hurdles. Imagine how a small child mimics driving a car with their two hands on an imaginary steering wheel. The thing is...that is how you control the race car game! You and your imaginary steering wheel controlling your race car on screen.</div><div><br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8oLn2a31ic4qxqvfj9pX5GLzJY3_3xhxd4iFIdoyqAPbNlpysZlyslrp-r8JD9oHSN089evOMpZJaoGSQRTEVj2ltFS8WJQEupRKZRbK1s09ki40kziIp5nNXFRuTceO5m4HjnT1rvTM/s400/IMG_2422.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482857959087913618" /><div style="text-align: center;">{Guests playing the race car game}</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>I was so amazed by the by this latest edition for Xbox 360...I have to have one of my own.

People then scan the QR code with their smart phone (after downloading a free app) and the code will bring them to a specific url created by the company. The purpose is for the company to create specialized information for the user using the QR code, such as special discounts, new videos, personalized text messages and more.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 256px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpko9gK4GRDCA5j7pAIapNI-G10nE8TXS0d4l8l9W_8zVJFfk05G9gXILpnm6v3-Ir21jf4ZFdH2wn1iKnlON9iHA0yfz4IIP1kPTjPseFGRmel2qcYCMf0E6P1qfo7il2ZW4fwR29oy8/s400/google-qr-code.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482751506468041250" /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">{QR Code}</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div> <a href="http://www.zugara.com/">Zugara</a> talked about Augmented Reality and how to utilize it to bring a more engaging experience for a company's clients.

The bag got a number of compliments from people passing me by on the street. <br /><br />When I saw the handbag for first time, the hardware straps were one of the things that caught my attention. I love how they enhance the bag and give it that "Chanel-like" flair. The great thing is that the bag is not as heavy as one would think with the chain straps and the leather is amazingly soft. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This is a great classic handbag that every girl should have in their closet, and one that will last through the years...a true investment piece. I am excited to offer Riki Handbags in my shop as they are a great addition to the other fabulous products I currently carry.

It all started when Foster decided to create a meaningful, one-of-a-kind necklace for his girlfriend using a 1979 penny (his birth year). The gift was a hit and a jewelry line was created.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span></p><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 378px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpclUAz0DyRnBaiBl_1ACLBAHNOIQBZU_S4PXJW51nCNXYaqO-45NLpyAd7gyucULERWpLxZ2zZfjsioFhAoi9HVqIxrT6XkciNOnMwzqGhYmPOWof2d63s6_YaqXJ1djawoQ_akV9KYk/s400/LA+scribble+white+bkg.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475251460004172674" />His background in the music industry is ever present in the collection, as some of the pieces are loosely inspired from familiar song titles, such as “Have a Little Faith” and “Janie.”<span> </span>The jewelry has a very raw and unfinished look, which is perfect for a rock n’ roll aesthetic. It’s no surprise to learn that The Foo Fighters, Black Eyed Peas & Sheryl Crow are a few of Pennyroyal’s celeb fans. <p class="MsoNormal">Each piece is a numbered and sold as limited editions…how very rock n’ roll!<span> </span>In addition to the limited editions, Pennyroyal Silver can create custom one-of-a-kind pieces so the sky’s the limit.<span> </span>Each piece is beautifully packaged in a black box and inside the recipient will find a guitar pick adding that extra rockstar element. The jewelry is unisex so you can always “borrow” your man’s gift if you have that rock n’ roll feeling or just create your own custom piece.<span> </span>This gift is sure to be an instant hit this Father’s Day or for any other occasion. </p> <!--EndFragment-->Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00649987971141877465noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205269021419498846.post-69143596401484393212010-05-17T21:19:00.000-07:002010-05-19T08:49:27.238-07:00{OpenSky Project} New Frontier in Online Shopping<div style="text-align: left;">The past few weeks have flown by and so much has happen. After getting back from New York I was home for a few days before heading off to San Francisco for another whirl-wind trip. I'll do more on that trip later.</div><div><br /><div>Before heading out of town again last weekend I was able to spend the afternoon with Ted Rubin, Chief Social Marketing Officer, for OpenSky Project. He was in town to host a meet-up with local area OpenSky shopkeepers and bloggers that I was not able to attend. As former Chief Marketing Officer at e.l.f Cosmetics, he helped grow sales using social media and is now using his expertise and doing the same at OpenSky Project. To say he is an expert in the industry is such an understatement. I learned more from him in one afternoon then what I would have, figuring it out on my own over the next few months.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Ted met me for lunch at The Standard in downtown LA as soon as he got in from the airport. He is full of energy online and I wasn't surprised it carried over in person. The thing that struck me with Ted, is that he is an extremely busy executive but it was like meeting an old friend and catching up all afternoon. I had a blast all day. It makes sense that he's at OpenSky Project because that is exactly the same feeling that is felt with everyone at the company. After lunch we headed over to the <a href="http://delacydressup.com/index.html">De Lacy</a> & <a href="http://www.michelleroydesigns.com/">Michelle Roy Designs</a> showrooms, which are both suppliers for OpenSky and featured in my shop. I was the first person to see the DeLacy fall collection with Ted, and excited to talk more about it in the future!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>As most of you know I have an OpenSky shop, which you can view <a href="http://redsolediary.theopenskyproject.com/">here</a>. For those of you who don't know about OpenSky, it's a new way to shop online. Each shop is run by a shopkeeper, who is an expert in various fields such as fashion (of course), cooking, parenting and many more. Shopkeepers choose products for their shops that they love and use in their everyday life. Instead of shopping at other online sites and relying on ratings from people one does not know, shoppers can purchase products from bloggers, celebrities and authors (the shopkeepers) they follow and trust. Each shopkeeper offers a personal recommendation and/or review for all of the products in their shop. The shopper then gets to purchase items from a trusted source and know what to expect when the item is shipped. OpenSky manages the back end so the shopkeeper does not need to physically house the merchandise. It's a great new way to shop as it adds that personal interaction to your online shopping experience. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>When I returned from my trip over the weekend this is what was waiting for me when I got home from another OpenSky supplier, <a href="http://shopriki.com/">Riki Handbags</a>. Check back later in my shop to see what is inside of the bag.</div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxhYbYDkKshZQEruCHNccHXFZjsQi4oXwbRoqVySTaMZP-QRd9uu0nyuwNpJeKrSOD_3CJZyhbeeYuyssO2AMnQTiRjKh8lt-MfaHQ6bcwFGHwSWPDJDyOLZ7jjbSdQe06nmMUXWRl_A8/s400/IMG_2553.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472802922217271330" /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div></div>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00649987971141877465noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205269021419498846.post-45531208454924853062010-05-03T20:25:00.000-07:002010-05-04T13:01:26.545-07:00{Fun In The City}...New YorkI'm finally back from New York and just trying to play catch up now. It's amazing how much work can pile up being gone for such a short amount of time. I love New York, especially the energy of the city but was so happy to come home to sunny California. I've gotten used to living the "beach life" and consider myself a full fledged beach girl.<br /><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">We stayed in upper Westchester county most of the time but managed to make it into the city twice while I was in New York. I realized I need to get better at taking pictures of all of my experiences. I missed out on taking pictures of the cobblestone streets while shopping in Soho or me meeting everyone at the <a href="http://redsolediary.theopenskyproject.com/">Opensky Project</a> headquarters. I have set a goal after this trip to better document my excursions with more photos and videos. I did take some photos of my trip. Enjoy!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjomdVyKgglQOoQBFuRLYgpX-M_qJqWuEm-p8F2v5fH0rqmjAQKr0l7D610gzaHHhEHi4HPCNLKs_nFZbmjOEP4K0DsvKqYUIV41Z7BP4asF337bVuU1AbkZzKZGUQ3bY9NqoshHtv3DEc/s1600/IMG_2080.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

There are a lot of things happening and I am excited to share it with you all in the near future. Before I left for New York, I attended the Colleagues' 22nd annual luncheon honoring Oscar de la Renta at the Beverly Wilshire. <div><br /></div><div>The Colleague supports Children's Institute Inc., which provides care and support for abused children. After an amazing runway show of de la Renta's fall 2010 RTW, Diane Lane presented him with the Champion of Children award. Here's a small clip from the runway show, it was absolutely beautiful as one would expect. </div><div><br /></div><div>Talk to you next week when I am back home from New York!</div><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f53hWOBSJ0g&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/f53hWOBSJ0g&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00649987971141877465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205269021419498846.post-26942031597591628512010-04-21T08:35:00.000-07:002010-04-21T08:44:48.216-07:00Spring has Sprung and Fashion is a'Blooming!I have Maria from <a href="http://bachmanssparrow.com/">Bachman’s Sparrow</a> here today.

It could be due to the fact that I’m an April baby, but in California (whenever we GET a spring), it’s simply beautiful. I also am totally in love with the spring ready to wear collections we’ve seen this year, from Marc Jacob’s flirty floral printed shorts to Alexander Wang’s tough girl all-American leather and stripes.<br /><br />On my blog, <a href="http://bachmanssparrow.com/">Bachman’s Sparrow</a>, I put together a 30-page free guide of all the best looks in fashion and beauty for this season. Today I wanted to share a little preview with you guys.
