LUST LIST: BAG OF THE YEAR

Move over Balenciaga. There’s a new ‘it’ bag in town, and we’re dying to get our hot little hands on it.

Not only did Proenza Schouler have one of the best Fall collections this year with their spot-on color selections accented by plenty of sequins and textures, but this PS1 bag? It’s damn near perfect, which is probably why it’s been making the rounds on the arms of celebs and fashionistas alike for the last few months.

We’re also loving the clutch option in that soft leather and light beige. Quite yummy if we do say so ourselves.

TUESDAY TUNES: BELLE & SEBASTIAN BBC SESSIONS

You may already be a fan of the Scottish group Belle & Sebastian, and if you are then you’ll be happy to get a ‘new’ release from them, even if it’s a collection of recordings from 1996 – 2001.

The limited edition release of their BBC sessions features a lot of old goodies (obviously), like Sleep The Clock Around

And the special double disc version includes live recordings from Belfast with covers like Here Comes the Sun. Just enough to tide us over until they get around to a new release, and possibly the perfect disc for a mix of upbeat and mellow tunes to get us through the holiday weekend.

PERFECT FALL TRENDS FROM PENCY

Three of the biggest trends for fall – plaid, feathers and electric blue – from one of our favorite labels – Pency – make for some original holiday attire…

Pency Plaid

Get casual in these plaid options. We love the tuxedo jacket paired with shorts. So west coast.

Pency Blue

The silky tuxedo blouse gets a hot makeover with this shot of color.

Pency Feathery Trims

No need to go overboard with feathers – just a whimsical touch will do.

FRIDAY PHOTO: BRUNO DAYAN

Fall has yet to hit LA… we’re still wearing our lighter dresses in this unusually warm November, but capturing the mood in wintry colors. It pretty much feels like this…

YOUR FALL WADROBE ON ETSY

Do you Etsy? If not, you’re missing out on some fully stocked vintage stores with goodies to fulfill your fall and winter wardrobe requirements. Allow us to demonstrate:

etsy maroon lace jacket/dress

Lace should have been on your shopping list a while ago. While black is hot, we dig this maroon and cream jacket dress for its originality.

etsy sequin dress

Sequins are everywhere right now. Lucky for you, many stores have a variety of pieces from the 80′s (the era of sequins). This dress is one of the more subtle pieces, and even has a great keyhole back.

etsy vintage fur jacket

If you’re gonna do real fur – go vintage. This coat is in amazing shape, and your animal loving friends won’t hate you as much for purchasing fox fur from the 70′s.

LUST LIST: CUFF LOVE

This light lucite cuff from Alexis Bittar is perfectly styled to go from day to night with it’s splash of Swarovski crystals and pearls…

Not to mention the fact that it would dress up any holiday party ensemble, or pop layered over a long black tee. We just can’t resist a bit of bling.

TUESDAY TUNES: LENKA

Back in September, the adorable Aussie, Lenka, debuted her self-titled album… but apparently we didn’t notice. Whoops. But all that changed after her performance as a part of the Hotel Cafe Tour the other night.

We couldn’t help but be drawn in by her sincere and fun style, and (since we’re being honest here) her awesome vintage 80′s dress in bright purple. And the more we heard, the more we liked. Maybe even loved? We’ll let you decide for yourself if she’s a bit too pop princess, or just the right dose of sugar.

One thing we’re pretty sure we can agree on thing: this girl is damn cute. And we want her wardrobe.

SOMETHING LOVELY’S STARTING…

With as many hotels and restaurants pop up in LA weekly, it’s hard to keep up and even harder to get people to take notice. But when the hotel is a collaboration between SBE and Starwood, with design by Philippe Starcke, you know it’s gonna be good.

SLS HOTEL & MOSS

Oh, and the restaurant? Well, it features shopping (yes! shopping!) from Moss and a menu created by Jose Andres. Really people, need we say more?

SLS HOTEL

With the ridiculous November heat we’ve been having, we might just have to pay a visit to the rooftop pool before indulging in the rest of the experience. See you there?
