Vintage Shopping in the desert with Monica and Jill....
Uhhh, NO!
Nice vest...too pricey.
This is a winner schmata!
Cool, but too much shoulders!

OK, this striped thing is really taking off now...How cute does Jill B. look in grey stripes against the groovy leopard chairs at her Mom's house in the desert? BTW: she is also wearing the Current Elliott Skinny jeans and a Matta scarf from the Seaton store.

Check out my friend Lisa Davis working the Cons & stripes!!! She is also wearing the Seaton Metallic Fleece Peacoat from Fall 2008. I will have plenty of these Peacoats ($35) available at the Huge Blowout Sale at JR Santa Monica 12/5 & 12/6

Oh Audrey!

Check out the amazing photograph of Audrey Hepburn. She was truly an elegant and fashionable lady. I have always loved this famous quote by her, “For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.” My dear friend Christina Zilber is the modern day Audrey Hepburn...she is beautiful inside and out, kind, compassionate, stylish, generous, intelligent, a fabulous mother, plays a mean game of Scrabble and is following in Audrey's footsteps as an ambassador for Unicef. She just returned from Ethiopia where she saw directly how even small donations can mean the world to these children. If you are interested in making a donation to Unicef, go to: http://www.unicef.org/support/index.html

Boy Shoes

This morning I came downstairs to take Drew to the orthodontist and he said, "Mom, I can't believe you are still wearing my shoes from 6th grade!!!" One minute you close your eyes and your babies have grown up and tower over you. We always knew that Drew would be tall, but he is growing at lightening speed right now and I see no end. Lately I have been really into mixing boy stuff with girly stuff when it comes to getting dressed. Maybe its because I live in a house full of men that I see how cute they look. As most of you know, I have a problem wearing closed toed shoes and really only feel comfortable in flip flops or sandals. So, I grabbed these grubby old Cons and threw them on with my gold jewelry and very old furry vest. (BTW its Michael Kors and no one wanted to buy it 7 years ago ~ everyone wants one now). Never mind that its going to be in the 70's today and I will be sweating by noon!

Resort Now!!!

I am counting the days until I can leave town for our annual family trip to Hawaii for the holiday season. For the past 26 years I have spent the holidays with my husband's family in Hawaii. I will never forget that first phone call from my then boyfriend telling me that there's an airline ticket to Honolulu waiting for me and I would be spending the holidays and New Year's on the island of Oahu. Ahhh, what do I pack? How many bikinis? Is New Year's dressy? Well, I have come along way and now I consider myself the queen of all beach resort packers!!! I have created the essentials for resort packing with Seaton (except the bikini part, that one still rules from Eres). This year I will be taking the Takai Tunic in Kukui Nut Alligator tie-dye, my classic pom pom tunic in Splash (gorgeous new blue) for those chilly afternoons on the shore, the new Lana'i dress in white for casual dinners and of course the Aja dress in Lagoon tie-dye for a dressier evening look. Both dresses always worn with simple gold K. Jacques or Manolo flats. Oh, and I will definitely wear our new French Terry fringed poncho on the plane with some leggings or a pair of white jeans. No need to panic about the wardrobe for the beach, only how many yoga classes I can fit in before we leave!!!!!
