MOCA Los Angeles Gala

All of Hollywood's fashionistas were out last night at the MOCA Los Angeles Gala and they all looked absolutely beautiful... decked in Chanel of course! Everyone looked impeccable, but I did have a top fave. Check out the pictures below. XO, Liza

Kirsten Dunst- Although it is quite simple, I think this dress is my favorite out of the bunch! It reminds me of something from the 1920's... something that Daisy Buchanan from "The Great Gatsby" would wear. I adore it. Her short hair is perfect with it too.

Ginnifer Goodwin- This is pretty stunning. The bottom is fabulous and I really love that neckline. Ginnifer is one of the few in Hollywood that can pull off that haircut because she has such a pretty face.

Rachel Bilson- Meh. I really can't stand this girl. I hate to be mean, but when is the last time she has been in something? She is ALWAYS at all the events getting photographed and I can't figure out why? Kind of strange...but her dress was pretty awesome I must admit. It's not everyones cup of tea, but I think all the details on it are magnificent. Her hair looks pretty, but it may have been nice if she had worn a low chignon with that dress.

Mila Kunis- Love her, but I'm not sure I am completely sold on the dress. Mila always looks gorgeous though. So pretty and I love her vibrant personality.

Kate Bosworth- Really... when does Kate Bosworth not look perfect? She always hits it out of the ballpark when it comes to fashion. She has such great street style in addition to when she has to dress up for events.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale- I love these two together. They are such a great couple. Always perfectly polished and chic. Gavin looks hip and handsome, while Gwen looks effortlessly cool. Love her style.

If I Were in LA...

So Jewls and I were talking the other day and well... it is definitely time for me to make a trip out to LA to visit. It has been almost two years since I have been and I do kind of miss the city, but I especially miss Juliana! Therefore, I made up an outfit I would wear there during the day lunching and shopping around with my best friend. Threw in a trusty pair of Lanvins, killer Karen Walker shades, and some amaaazing jewelry to top it off. :) XO, Liza

Only Cute Sweaters Allowed...

Ok, so it is officially "cold" in LA... Meaning it is "nippy". Regardless, in my past four years of living here, I have found that my sweaters become my winter jackets all season long. I need a lot of variety and I am in dire need of a new slew of perfectly plucked little pieces! It's crucial, so here are my top picks. Lize and I both tend to always go from one extreme to another... Mixing our lady-like elegance with our rock punk experimental edge. I feel my picks below show a perfect range of exactly that. Hope you are all doing fantastic and have a wonderful weekend!

My top pick. Vivienne Westwood Gold Label Soldier Sweater. I would wear this until it fell apart.

The stripes in the back? The tuxedo tailoring? Ugh, it murders me...

Rachel Comey Twofer Cardigan.

My second favorite pick. Edun Drape Side Cardigan. This piece is exquisite in every way. The folds and the sheerness of the wool. I cannot get enough. It executes that perfect slouchy/sexy that I pretty much always do.

So killer.

Another Vivienne Westwood Gold Label. So stunning.

Karen Walker Loopy Cardigan. Ahhh, it's like a little lamb! Lize, you need this.

Rachel Comey Eyelash Swing Top Sweater. This is so sweet and little girlish. Gotta have a few of these laying around.

Kimberly Ovitz Hendron Leather Cardigan. Bad ass, innovative, and sort of jailbird. I am definitely into this one. Love it.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label Mongolia Knitwear Sweater. So King Kong! I love this! Ah, with little black tap shorts, sheer tights and a killer boot?!?! Hell yeah! I love this piece.

Item of the Day: Balenciaga Ankle Wedges

I was in the Barney's shoe department about a week ago with my mom and when I spotted these insane Balenciaga ankle wedges, let me tell you.... I could NOT stop thinking about them alllll day. They look amazing in the picture, so you can only imagine what it's like to hold them. Hahahaha I sound like a shoe psycho, but really... these shoes are unreal. Not only do I love the wooden wedge, but the little buckle on the ankle? To die for. Before I checked the bottom of the shoe for the price, I must say I was scared... they had to be at LEAST $1200. Well, they are $995. Expensive, but not over the top like a pair of Alaias or Givenchys. So I was somewhat relieved. Ha! I do have a very hard time saving my money though, as the minute I see something I like, I buy it. On the other hand, these booties are really worth saving up every single penny. XO, Liza

Designer Spotlight: Vivetta

As you guys know, Jewls and I are always on the hunt for up and coming designers that you can't find at every other store. Vivetta, one that I discovered recently on uber chic Australian online boutique, Maximillia, had me at a loss for words. Based out of Italy, Vivi Ponti, who designs under the name Vivetta, is inspired by all things, whether it be the sixties or an old lampshade... Yes a simple lampshade served as her vision for her S/S 2010 collection! Love it. What I love even more though is her Velvet Giuditta dress! Velvet is definitely a must have trend at the moment and this little number is beyond darling. Check it out and a few of her other designs below! XO, Liza

IN.LOVE.WITH.THIS.DRESS. End of story.

This one is pretty darn cute too!

Item of the Day: Marni Lace Up Socks

Ummm how amazing are these everyone? Designer for Marni, Consuelo Castiglioni was obviously inspired by pointe shoes when designing these socks. I could not love that more since I was a ballerina for many years. Throw them on with a plain pump or wedge and you are all set! I would totally invest in these at $82 a pair, but I really do have a lot of ballet-inspired footwear, whether they are my Capezio studded ballet slippers, the Givenchy criss cross wedges, or my Bloch red patent leather tie up flats. Oh yeah and my Chanel criss cross tights! Agh! Oh well. Maybe I will leave it to Jewls to get these because one of us must have them! XO, Liza

Black Listed

Web site spotlight: IDONTLIKEMONDAYS.US

I love love love this site. I am in a head to toe black mood today so here is my fantasy outfit. At times it feels so refreshing to just wear all black. It is simple, clean, chic, and with an unexpected silhouette, it has a strange classiness to it... And in a messy, overproduced, provoked, premeditated, miscellaneous outfit trend around us... sometimes it's just nice to go ALL monochromatic! Hope you're all fab and have a good weekend!

X. Jewls

Pepper Pistol Tunic. $565. This piece is sick.

Improvd Wool Coat. I want to snatch this for winter. (In LA. Ha, if you can even say that). Whatever, I want this coat. The construction is unreal. $319.

Vibe Johansson Suede Zip Pants. Ok, these... I am in pain about. You can zip and reveal however much suede as you please. These are killer. They are actually shown with the Pepper Pistol Tunic above which I just noticed. I would wear these to death. I need need need these!!!! Such a great basic. $381.

Jeffery Campbell Bal-Nu Flat Boot. I feel like a punky witch would wear these. Ha. Great with jeans, tights and a dress, knee highs and a skirt, thermals and a big fabulous overcoat. Ugh, the possibilities are endless. They would be a surprise pop into any outfit. A definite must have. $229.

Barbara Gongini Fur Bag. Creepy, but amazing. This is a great alternative when you don't want to have to hold a clutch all night long. Such a nice new take on a fur bag. I am into it. $152.

Lady Grey Ring. So me. I want it now. $132.

Barbara Gongini. This ring is made out of recycled rubber. Bahaha! I love it! So fabulous and fun! $77.

Outfit Post: Birthday Girl

I had a pretty good birthday this year, although they are definitely not what they used to be when I was little.... Haha. It's true! I did have a great dinner though with the family and got some fabulous gifts (THE dress and THE bunny bag)! All I was missing was my boyfriend, Angel, who unfortunately is out of town working. Boo. Aaaaanyways, I can't believe it's already November! Soon enough, we will all be wearing our furs and hats. I am ready! XO, Liza

Liza's Top Ten Jackets and Coats for Fall/Winter

Ok ladies... so now that the leaves have fallen, Halloween is Sunday, and soon enough we'll have snow, we must all be prepared with the cutest jackets and coats for the chilly weather. I always say coats are a pain because when it's freezing out, no one can ever see the outfit you have on underneath. With these ten beauties below though, wearing a great outfit won't even matter... these are just too fabulous for words. XO, Liza

Opening Ceremony 3/4 Sleeve Cropped Trench Coat- So I have NEVER been into trenches, whether they are basic or all redone. This one though is awesome. I love how short is is and I am a sucker for coats that look like little dresses.

Proenza Schouler Toggle Cropped Jacket- UGH! Drool! This is beyond sick. I would do anything for this one. Paired with the Proenza J Brands too? Perfection.

Proenza Schouler Double Breasted Peak Lapel Coat- Ummm are you serious Proenza? Those guys honestly killed it for their fall collection. I think back to the shows and that one was hands down my fave. I remember seeing this coat come down the runway and I had no words. Really... none. It is that amazing. Such a statement piece.

Jenni Kayne Oversized Coat- Oooh this is just beautiful. I love how Shopbop paired it with a black dress, bare legs, and little booties. That is exactly how it should be worn in my eyes. Love it.

Peter Pilotto 3 Grid Metallic Trim Wool Coat- Whoa! What is this? You can always count on Peter Pilotto to give you something totally different and ultimately chic. This is stunning. It looks amazing on the model too. I'd love it with leggings or super skinny jeans.

Miu Miu Funnel Neck Wool Coat- Ahh Miu Miu. Never fails. This reminds me of a blouse of mine by Miu Miu I got a few years ago. I love this so much. I would wear it like crazy.

Isabel Marant Rick Rabbit Coat- I had to throw a fur in the bunch... I love a white fur and this one is unreal. The buttons on it are so cute, as well as the little collar. This would be a great coat to take from day to night.

Henrik Vibskov Dumpo Jacket- This probably wouldn't keep you very warm, but you would most definitely make a fashion statement! Had to throw it in the mix because it's so awesome.

Tsumori Chisato Zigzag Loop Coat- Tsumori never lets me down. EVER. Her stuff is consistently amazing. Whether it be a fabulous top or a funky pair of tights, I love it all. If I could afford it, I'd buy all of the Tsumori on Lagarconne and Forwardforward! Hahahaha. This coat is beautiful though.

3.1 Phillip Lim Boxy Coat- Last but not least! I love anything nubby and fuzzy and this Phillip Lim alpaca coat is fab.

Shoot of the Day: Caroline Trentini for Numero Japan

Oh Japan. They understand something that the rest of us don't. STRANGE, yet perfect construction. I don't know how they are so seemingly perfect at executing it every single time. Design wise. Editorial wise. Marketing wise. They kill it all the way around the spectrum! A bizarre and experimental silhouette has always been my natural inclination so Japanese designers are some of my favorites. This spread shot by David Vasiljevic caught my eye for obvious reasons. ;) Take a peep below.

X. Jewls

No words. I really have none. This dress is impeccable.

I love the hemline of the dress with this slouchy boot. It's a different take on an otherwise tired look. I like it. I also love that this shot is so overexposed. Genius.

So Roman looking with cuffs. This looks like a costume out of the movie Spartacus. Ha! I adore this outfit.

Dead on the floor. I need this piece to live. No, seriously.

 I love everything about this.

Her stance is so perfect with this garment.

Item of the Day: Rachel Antonoff Hitchcock Dress

Alright, so the minute I saw Alexa Chung wearing this during Fashion Week, I thought to myself... This dress BELONGS on me. End of story. Turns out it is designed by one of my favorite girly designers, Rachel Antonoff. I could do so much with this piece... pair it with oxfords, with booties, tights, decorative socks and heels... the list is endless. I am hoping this hits Bonadrag in the next few weeks, so I can wear it on my birthday! XO, Liza

Best Dressed of the Week: Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightley

These two always look fabulous on their own, but put them together and voila... Perfection! Carey in Vionnet and Keira in Chanel are not only two of Hollywood's finest actresses, but also true fashion plates. I adore both of their dresses. So different from eachother, but equally elegant. Not to mention their makeup is absolutely flawless. Two thumbs up! Can't wait to see them together on the silver screen. XO, Liza

Outfit Post: It's Fall!

Wow. I haven't done an outfit post in forever! Well, last weekend I went apple picking and oh was it fun. Not only did I bring home a ton of apples, but I got a pumpkin, some cider, fresh doughnuts, and even cheese! Hahaha I sound like a nerd. The little things make me happy though. XO, Liza
