Kymberly's Pick: Haute Dogs

By: Unknown on 10/13/2014

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm starting this week off with one of my all time favorite characters, Snoopy! Just as Peanuts prepares for it's 65th anniversary, and the 30th anniversary of the inaugural "Snoopy in Fashion" event of the 1980s, the "Snoopy and Belle in Fashion" exhibit will feature a whole new roster of looks as well as some iconic looks from the past. This is a collab for the books! The exhibition has been traveling the globe, dressing the beloved beagle and his sister in one-of-a-kind creations by designers such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Isaac Mizrahi, Opening Ceremony, and Calvin Klein. Have a peak at the bold fashion statements made by these HAUTE dogs! XO

DVF at the LACMA

By: Unknown on 2/21/2014

I was excited to pay tribute to the one and only, inspiring and ever-so-talented Diane Von Furstenberg by visiting the Journey of a Dress exhibit at the LACMA this past week. The showcase celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the dress that started it all - the wrap dress!!! Diane designed this signature piece at the young age of 23 and it was featured in WWD. She says it transformed her life — paying her bills, her kids’ college fees and affording her a lifetime of freedom. As you enter you view an extensive installation of archived photos dating from the 70's to present day - fashion campaigns, editorials, and famed stars all wearing the iconic dress. The gallery displays some never before seen photos and dedicated portraits by artists and photographers such as: Andy Warhol, Chuck Close and Annie Liebowitz, surrounding you in a world of Diane. I really enjoyed one incredible piece - a digitized statue of Diane with over 20 iconic woman literally flying out of her mouth! The main room is decorated with sweeping prints from ceiling to floor creating another story. Mannequins line up forming a pyramid shape dressed in 4 decades of DVF designs from the popular animal prints, to the geometric patterns and the classics. I have continued to marvel at Diane Von Furstenberg's work over the years - she really knows how to design for a woman's body and creates true lady-like silhouettes. My absolute must-haves are her silk blouses that are feminine, sexy and sometimes with just enough sheer. The display will be up until April 1st, so if you are a lover of art and fashion like myself this is something you won't want to miss!

Kymberly's Coveted Picks

By: Unknown on 12/09/2013

To give and receive is an art in itself. Hand selecting a gift for that special someone has got to be one of my favorite things to do. Paying attention to small details about someone whether they are a friend, family, or significant other can make all the difference when out shopping and makes it easy to narrow down those gazillion choices at your fingertips. Oh and don't forget, if you like to receive a gift, everyone appreciates beautiful wrapping, I know I do!

This holiday season I have got to include some of my favorite designers on my coveted gift list, Jonathan Adler is pure genius! He has the best gifts for everyone....so clever, for the house, you cannot go wrong. Kelly Wearstler, Diane Von Furstenberg and Michael Kors have got some amazing clutches and accessories, but let's not forget NYC's Henri Bendel for all that chic arm candy us girlie girls adore!
