The beautiful and talented Rebecca Woolf of Girl's Gone Child
I have a secret. A dirty one. (*deep breath*) Imnotcrazyaboutreadingblogs. I know this seems grossly counter-intuitive since I freaking write one, but it has to be really unique-in-a-way-I-can’t-put-my-finger-on in order to draw me in and hold my attention. And then I found Girl’s Gone Child.
I felt immediately connected to not only Rebecca’s life experiences and parenting views, but above all else, to her voice. She is positively fearless and speaks with brutal honesty, making no apologies for who she is, her choices, views or shortcomings. I identify with her on a level of I’m-facing-this-thing-called-life-and-parenting-with-all-its-imperfections, and the fact that – get ready – she embraces them. Inspiring stuff. It could be because she’s roughly a decade younger (shut it) than I am, and reminds me to find lightness and beauty in all that happens, regardless of the shit storm it can often be – for that I am most grateful. Not to mention she has a kick-ass sense of non-mommy style for both herself and her kids…
LASM: Allow me to start by saying that I adore your blog - you remind so much of my younger self (minus the kids), even though in my brain I like to pretend we’re the same age. Moving on. What fashion state-of-mind are you currently in?
RW: Quirky bohemian? Off-duty ballerina? California urbanite? Paris, Summer of ’69? High maintenance hippie? Etc, etc? I have a very late 60′s, early 70′s aesthetic as far as fashion goes. I was born a decade after my time, apparently. I love skinny jeans with fat tees, leggings paired with chunky tunics and slouchy boots. And hats. I love me some head-gear. My dream is to someday open a vintage hat store. Sigh.
LASM: Who or what do you find inspires your fashion sense?
RW: Everything and everybody and old times and Teen Vogue. Seriously. Teen Vogue has brilliant stylists. I’m a loyal subscriber. On the web I love Sea of Shoes, Lookbook.nu, Francoise Hardy and Marianne Faithfull. Confidence. If I’m doubting whether I can pull something off or not, the answer is NOT. Personal style is all about confidence, which is why L.A. is such a fun city to get dressed-up in. Everyone here is parading around completely and perhaps delusionally confident. It’s inspiring.
LASM: True, that. I know you’re super busy with your kids and job; what’s your go-to daily ‘mommy’ outfit for the summertime? What about for the cooler months?
RW: For summer it’s an over sized tee, leggings and TOMS, and for the other seasons, over sized tee, leggings and boots with a statement jacket and layered jewelry.
LASM: I heart TOMS like crazy, especially for kids. What are your favorite local L.A. shopping spots? How about on-line?
RW: Oooooh, boy. I’d have to say Noni on Larchmont, and Beige on Beverly for new pieces (although I wait for sales), Fluxus for staples and Fairfax Trading Post, The Way We Wore and Slow on Melrose for vintage. I don’t shop for clothes online, but if I did I’d shop at Pixie Market. I know people do it beautifully but it makes me nervous. I’m old fashioned that way, perhaps. I like dressing rooms.
LASM: We both have boys about the same age, and boy clothes can be especially challenging; what brands do you like for Archer?
RW: I have to give it to Shaun White for Target. He is KILLING me with the skinny jeans for boys. They are the perfect fit. I’m also a huge Ben Sherman fan. If it isn’t from Target it’s most likely Ben Sherman with Creative Recreation shoes or Reef flip-flops.
Rebecca and her daughter, Fable.
LASM: It’s well known that (your daughter) Fable is a little style icon of her own! What are your faves for ‘Fable-shopping’?
RW: Most of Fable’s wardrobe is hand-made, actually. My mom has been going nuts with the sewing machine and fabrics we picked out together. I’m also a massive fan of Misha Lulu. Love Splendid, Imps & Elfs and See Kai Run shoes. Gap for essentials.
LASM: One of the most common questions my readers ask is, what are cute yet comfortable flat-shoe alternatives to sneakers, for the park and general kid-schlepping. What do you recommend?
RW: I used to be a total heel-girl and now? I can barely wear heels to dinner without killing myself. I recommend a good pair of kick-around flat-boots. I have a pair of maroon kick-around leather boots I got at a thrift shop for $30. Best $30 I ever spent. If you can’t afford a nice pair of well-made boots, go thrifting. It will make ALL the difference. Cheap boots are a total waste of money. Also? I love TOMS. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Buy a pair of black TOMS and you can’t go wrong. They look great with everything and they’re socially responsible, too, so everyone wins. My most warn non-Toms, non-boot shoes are currently my black, gold-studded ballet flats by Michael Kors. They go with everything, very polished without looking prim. I also love me some Jeffrey Campbell.
LASM: What current trend do you love? Loathe?
RW: Love: Harem Pants, jumpsuits, sequins. Loathe: Heeled sandals and I’ve never understood the appeal of Coach.
LASM: Ooof – that makes two of us. Which designers or brands do you adore?
RW: Vintage Pucci. Hands down. This is a tough one, because I don’t have a cazillion dollars so budget shatters my fashionista dreams!!! If I could, I’d shop all day long at Marc Jacobs and DVF but no, I cannot. So? I shop vintage, American Apparel, Barneys Co-Op, Jeffrey Campbell shoes. My favorite designer is probably a tie between Balenciaga (Modern!) and Chanel (Boho! Viva la France!), but I do most of my shopping at Anthropologie, thrift stores and Target. Oh, and J Brand jeans. Always J Brand. Wearing them now in fact. (With a tunic by TORN I bought at Barney’s Co-Op.)
LASM: Amen on the J Brand front. Anything else…?
RW: You’re awesome! xo!
LASM: Back atcha, my friend…

Temple St. Clair 18K Blue Moonstone and Tanzanite Cluster Ring $10,500
Temple St. Clair 18K Diamond Foglia Drop Earrings $3,250
Temple St. Clair 18K Pavé Serpent Pendant with Blue Sapphires $3,900
…and not a moment too soon, since you’re reading those price tags correctly. (Obvy, these are not the collaboration pics, but a sampling from the actual Temple St. Clair collection.) How else would we be able to partake in the luxurious indulgence that is Temple St. Clair? Thanks (again) Target!
Although not at liberty to share them (yet), I’ve seen the photos of the collaboration firsthand and you will not be disappointed – especially since there isn’t a single item priced over fifty bucks. These limited edition pieces are set to launch nationwide, both in stores and online, on August 29th and will be available through December 26th – unless of course it sells out first. If so? You’re on your own.

Zac Posen for Target Black Tuxedo Jacket $49.95, White Pleated Sleeve Top $29.99, Black Tuxedo Pants $39.99 and Safety-Pin Print Scarf $24.99
(Photo courtesy of Target via nymag.com)
This is so freaking good and totally my thing, fully evocative of the infamous Marianne Faithfull and the ultimate muse, Patti Boyd. While it remains to be seen if it’s as good up close, wouldn’t it be dreamy to score a semi-decent suit for under a hundred bucks? I’ve come to the conclusion that the black suit is the new LBD (for now), since I’m done with seeing a room full of tired looking ones at every event. A black suit is invaluable not just on it’s own, but as separates, and depending upon what accessories, blouse (or not) and shoes you choose, can be casual-chic to super dressy.
Most other pieces in the collection left me feeling luke-warm, but there were a couple of cute ones; I’m especially partial to this Floral Print Brocade Tie Dress for its nod to my very favorite fabric (I was married in white and silver brocade pants and matching top, made out of fabric from my mother’s late-60′s wedding gown) in a retro-chic print and modern cut that is classic Posen. The Blue Snap Tape Dress is cute, but looks tough to wear as if it could potentially be a weird cut or ill-fitting. I also dig the Red Moto Leather Jacket – steep for a collab piece at two-hundred bucks, but it makes me grateful that I kept the buttery soft, fire-engine red, North Beach Leather one from the ’80′s. That’s right. I said North Beach Leather…recognize her? (Zac Posen for Target will be available both in-store and on line April 25th-May 30th.)
P.S. I’m also strangely into the *choke* Merona shoes that they used to style the collection. I could also just be tired.

Cynthia Vincent for Target Cotton Wedge Sandal $29.99 (Photo courtesy of Target via Nitrolicious.com)
It doesn’t get better than Cynthia Vincent for thirty bucks, and I can’t wait for these vibrant tribal wedges to hit the shelves so I can check them out ‘in real life.’ The goods arrive both in stores and online beginning April 18th, and are available (if they don’t sell out) through June 20th. Although this shoe is part of a larger collection, this is the only one that I’m really digging. The rest of them look kind of vinyl-y to me, but who knows – you might love them!

Fiona Paxton Copper 'Sofi' Long Necklace $357.27
Cover Girl Queen Collection 3-in-1 Nail Polish in 'Copper Penny' $3.09
Marc Bouwer Copper Swimsuit (Image via: WWD.com/Photographed by Tom Concordia)
Inspired by Nine West’s Spring Collection, I am now obsessed with the copper. Spring Blues may the most popular upcoming trend, but wouldn’t copper make an excellent accent color? Think about this: an Alice and Wonderland dusty blue dress paired with a layered copper chain necklace; a blue denim shirt worn with giant copper earrings; or a bright turquoise romper worn with metallic copper heels. These looks could steal the show! Are you interested now?
Above are a few of my favorite copper picks for Spring 2010. I drool over this copper swimsuit by Marc Bouwer; it’s just so fashion forward and bold. More than likely, I will sport my love for copper with jewelry, including the Fiona Paxton Copper ‘Sofi’ Long Necklace from Asos, Candy Heart Earrings from AUNALI Artisan Metal, at Etsy.com and Copper Tone Wood Bangles from Target. If you’re hesitant to give copper a try, you can experiment with the look in a small dose with this Cover Girl Queen Collection Nail Polish, available at Target. So…are you in?

Rodarte for Target Kimono Floral Print Hooded Raincoat $39.99
Unless I float away first, I’ll be picking one of these up this afternoon. Yes, I do not own a raincoat. This actually caught my eye on my first in-store run through, to which I wisely thought, “What do I need a raincoat for?” and passed it by. Again, although noted as a ‘Junior’ item, it is generously cut and of course much cuter in person. Targ certainly is giving me a run for my money in the photo department though…

Rodarte for Target Crepe Lace Print Dress in 'Oxford Tan/Black' $34.99
Not-so-real-life-friendly styling aside (which I actually think is kinda cool), this little sheath is comfy, forgiving and versatile. I should know since I fell in love on a quick ‘stocking-stuffer’ trip to Target with Z, who I subsequently dragged into the dressing room to his happy squeals of, “Mommy, try it on!” (*blink*) Not only is he the most patient shopper on the planet, he gives great feedback for a five year old dude – no, really.
Long story long, this dress was one of my faves in the Rodarte for Target collection. I wore it to a party on Christmas Eve, with a vintage black Dolce & Gabbana cardigan, black opaque tights, and tan satin Te Casan booties with black leather piping. The best news is that it’s going to be just as cute this summer, sans tights, with flat sandals. And if you’re headed to check out the collection (I know I’m late to the game most of you have already been cut me some slack I have kids whatev) skip the tulle and head straight to the surprisingly decent fitting lace cardigans – if there are any left. For what it’s worth, Z approved of those as well.
(P.S. Although the word ‘Juniors’ is noted in the dress description, this particular dress is generously cut, and I was able to purchase the size I usually wear.)
