In fact, my gold links of love originally belonged to my grandmother. The bracelet was a gift from her husband, my grandfather, who also had an eye for the good stuff. Grandma Miriam complained the first one he brought home was too small, so he went back to the store and bought her a bigger one. She was a big fan of her jewelry, but this bracelet eventually got too heavy for her to wear - can you believe it? She stopped wearing it, but wouldn't give it up. My mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was a little girl, had her eye on that bracelet since her father brought it home. She asked to have it, but my grandma was also stingy at times and would not let it go. After some convincing by my aunts, my grandmother finally gave it to my mother for her to enjoy - even though it wasn't long enough. The women in my family have always been on the cutting of fashion - and who knew the bracelet my grandfather bought years ago would be in style today. Now the bracelet belongs to me and it's more than just a bracelet - it's my golden links of love.

Faux Fur Fab
If you know me, you know I love leopard print. And if you don't know me, well, now you know. Ever since I was little girl, I was a little obsessed with the spotted print. In fact, the leopard coat pictured above was a present I got for my tenth birthday - and it still fits! It's from Gap Kids - can you believe it? Lucky for me, I'm already prepared for one of the hottest trends this Fall - I'd like to call it Faux Fur Fab.
Some of you may find it difficult to pull off a fur coat - even if it's faux. My advice: try a fur accessory instead. Yes, the purse above is from my own wardrobe as well. A dear friend of mine (actually, the same person who gave me the coat) thought I just had to have that bag - and boy, was she right! And, the best part of it all - it was on sale. If I can remember correctly, the original price was $140 and came to about $30! (Thanks, Macys!) Accessorizing is a great way to stay within a budget when you want to keep up with the fashion must haves. This fall, go get yourself a faux fur bag, vest (which I've seen tons of), or even a headband.
You can even give your home a faux fur accent like the pillows I have pictured above. I've been playing around where they look the best, but for now they look great on my maroon comforter.
So this Fall (even though it still feels like summer in Cali), be BOLD. Add some faux fur into your life and bring out the inner animal within. Don't lie. I know you know it's in there somewhere. So when you're out shopping this weekend - just remember Faux Fur Fab! Oh, and let me know if you find any good deals!

Meet Celebrity Stylist Anya Sarre

After interning for the Wardrobe Department at CBS's Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, I sat down one-on-one with celebrity stylist, Anya Sarre. From a young age, Anya knew she wanted to pursue a career that combined fashion and entertainment - something that's not easy to come by. With a lot of work and Anya's "relentless perseverance" her dream came true. She received her Bachelor's degree from USC and continued her education at Parsons The New School for Design. "I was a sloppy gluer," Anya chuckled, "but I was a natural born draper."

Buy something new(ish) if you're Jewish...and even if you're not!
Today is the beginning of the Jewish New Year - so Happy New Year my fellow Jews! I woke up and prayed this morning - not to the man upstairs - to the fashion Gods. I think the Jews have it right: planning their new year around the same time Fall rolls around. Fall is when the little kiddies go back to school and more importantly, when the biggest issues of the hottest magazines hit newsstands and when the runways are in full force. It's the biggest time of the year for designers - so I hope you go out and buy a fresh piece of fashion for this Fashion New Year. It's always nice to start off the new year with a new addition to your wardrobe. Whether it be an accessory, a camel coat, or a pair of shoes, I hope you find something great for this new year. So let's shop like it's 5771! What will your something new be? Here's my something new - and it's by my fav designer, Marc Jacobs! (Thanks, Carol!)

Where Fashion meets the Ocean
This weekend a few of my friends from college ventured to the LA area for some R&R from their busy San Fran lives. We got an early start on Saturday and headed for Santa Monica. Santa Monica Place, that is. This new outdoor shopping sanctuary opened just weeks ago and it truly is a destination for fashionistas from near and far. Yes, it has Burberry and Louis Vuitton, but there's something about this place that screams casual - in a sophisticated way. It could be the ocean breeze sweeping through the open-air walkways or the mere fact that you can get your tan and your shop on in a matter of hours. Whatever it is, Santa Monica Place stole my fashion heart. And, my stomach too. The dining terrace - which over looks the pacific ocean - offers a wide range of food choices. From tacos to sushi and gourmet to specialty desserts - you will not go hungry! Santa Monica Place is more than just a mall, it's a destination where anyone can enjoy beautiful designs - architecture included. I can't wait to go back to this beach-inspired, 3rd Street Promenade adjacent fashion experience. If you're in the LA area, go check out Santa Monica Place and let me know what you think!
