Des Artistes Tees

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Logo tees? Not a fan. Slogans? Even worse. Stunning original artwork? In. I’ve featured Des Artistes in the past, in addition to wearing my own well-received Roots tee made from crazy comfy organic cotton and printed with eco-friendly ink. They’ve recently released their new look-book, complete with the original lineup of fine artists, in addition to a charity collaboration with conceptual artist Ai Weiwei, the proceeds of which will go to benefit Doctors Without Borders. *Applause* Chic, original, sustainable, charitable…love. (The Des Artiste collection is available for purchase at mytheresa.com.)

H&M: Head-To-Toe Looks Under $150 Each!

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Daytime

Event

Dinner

Dinner

Both friends and readers alike often tell me they love the idea of shopping in places like H&M, but are frequently overwhelmed by the store itself. Let’s face it; if you’ve ever been in one, it’s crowded, loud and usually messy, making it difficult at best to shop, let alone pull together an outfit. Complicated by the fact that  there is a ton of merchandise (not to mention they have yet to launch an American e Commerce site *tapping foot impatiently*), I know that many of you choose to steer clear of H&M altogether. I’ve taken the liberty of putting together these outfits – all priced at around a hundred bucks, give or take an accessory or two – to help point you in the right direction. Now have at it.

Ten Trends For Spring 2010

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Ten Trends For Spring 2010 (Click to Polyvore for details, where to buy and pricing.)

1. Lucite: It’s not just for strippers anymore.

2.  If you’ve got the legs, shorts are the shizznit for Spring.

3. Neutrals: Nude is the new black.

4.  Loving this lingerie inspired dress from Calypso. Note: The word inspiration is key; your bra is not a shirt.

5. Bright accessories add a modern glow to warm your winter gloom!

6.  Feminine is back, complete with pretty pastels and rows of ruffles.

7. Safari styles infuse a sense of adventure, and add a rough-hewn edge that balance out girlish silhouettes.

8.  From swimsuits to sandals, patterns and prints cover everything this season.

9.  Go for sheer sheaths and translucent tees, but do yourself (and us) a favor – wear something underneath.

10. The clog sandal is so super seventies? It makes me want to throw my car keys in the bowl…

Real Life Fashion Series #003: L

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Last time; my photography blows and I took it on a phone in my bathroom. In other news, if you can get past the ghetto set up and lack of an actual human being, I dug this out my closet last minute to wear to a work dinner for J. Is it stunning? Maybe not, but relatively chic, comfortable, appropriate for the occasion, and most importantly…free.

I’ve recently been able to drag myself from the depths of the panic that often ensues when one has to pull together an outfit for a particular event. It used to be “ShitIhavetorunoutandbuyadressrightnow,” while recently I’ve been opening my closet around 4:30 PM, only to stare blankly at its contents. (Whether this is due to the economic climate, time restrictions as a result of motherhood, or lack of truly giving a crap, I’m unsure.) This is what I came up with, and if I can do it you can too.

(Trina Turk Velvet Jacket: Nordstrom, Catherine Malandrino Silk Camisole: Loehmann’s, Amrita Singh Gold & Crystal Earrings: Loehmann’s, Cynthia Rowley Vintage Slouchy Pants: Hand me down from my mother, Linea Pelle Gold Leather Clutch: Gomatta Girls, Te Casan by Fay Baldock Silk/Satin Booties: Loehmann’s)

Giveaway: Chic Workout Wear (I Swear) From IVEE!

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

IVEE 'Ella' Top in Coral/Red $39

IVEE 'Ella' Top in Coral/Red $39

If you know me at all, then it’s no big secret that working out is not my most fave thing on the planet. Pilates? Love, but probably because the only thing missing from the reformer is an ashtray, it’s so relaxing. A brisk walk up the canyon (which isn’t a hike ladies, so stop calling it that)? I’m in, but even then mostly due to the fact that I have a 100 lb. Dane mix, leaving me with little choice. You have a better chance of finding me at REI on a Saturday afternoon than you do on an elliptical, but now that I’m Iveestylin’? It’s almost enough to make me want to treat the treadmill like a runway.

I’ve never featured workout clothes before, and have done quite the decent job of dodging your questions regarding them. This was of course pre-Ivee, who were generous enough to send me this modern and comfy ‘Ella’ top, that I kind of don’t want to take off. (You hear that FTC? They sent it to me. TO REVIEW.) The cut is super flattering, and although it fits snugly in the boobs – complete with removable pads – what I love is that it isn’t skin tight. (FYI I’m a 4/6 on top, and mine is a medium – I could have gone with a small for a smoother silhouette.) My other fave is the ‘Chloe’ top, which like her friend ‘Ella,’ is far more chic than the yawn of a tank top or sports bra (which – Hi! – should not be worn alone and called a ‘top’).

Here’s your chance to ditch your dirty tees and score some Ivee duds of your very own! LASM and Ivee have teamed up to give away a $50 discount code, good on orders of fifty dollars or more! (Go figure.) Simply visit iveestyle.com, choose the item you like best, and tell us about it in the comments section of this post.* If you Tweet or Facebook this link to the giveaway, we’ll throw in an additional entry – do both and we’ll throw in two, so be sure to let us know…good luck!

*All comments must be posted by the end of the giveaway on Wednesday December 16th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, notified via e mail, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom shortly thereafter. One entry per person with a maximum of two additional entries for Twitter and/or Facebook links to this contest. Open to U.S. residents only.

Real Life Fashion Series #001: D

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Craptastic Photography Courtesy Of: Moi

Further proof that just because you’re a mom, doesn’t mean you can’t be fashionable. (And without having to spend a lot of cash.) Exhibit #001: D. At home, on a Sunday afternoon, look cuter. (And yes my chic mommy friends, beware; this does in fact mean that you are now fodder for my website.) After telling her about seven times how much I was digging her outfit, D sweetly acquiesced and allowed me to take her photo…and grill her about her ensemble item by item (details below). Yet another opportunity to demonstrate that having kids isn’t synonymous with looking schlubby. Thanks D! xoxo

Banana Republic Heritage Ruffle-Collar Shirt $24.99, GAP Destructed Boyfriend Jeans $59.50, Bernardo ‘Dream’ Flats in ‘Pewter Glove’ $129, Coopersong ‘Hipster’ Eco-Tote in Black $55

(All other jewelry and accessories are either no longer available, or cannot be purchased online.)

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, sequins are the deal for Fall 2009. I happen to love them (yet oddly, have yet to make a purchase…I might want to revisit that) in all their Bianca Jagger circa ’77, Studio 54 glory, but hey – that’s just me. Being that they are super trendy, you might not want to make a huge investment. On the flip side? I also think that they’re pretty versatile; anything that can work with jeans and black tie, is a go in my book. You in…?
