The Swankiest House in Hollywood

Not my words.  This is according to Elle Decor.  I have to wholeheartedly agree, since the home is after all... Casa Marques.

License To Thrill

A soiree at the mid-century home of @jrummerfield & @danarummerfield. Using their 60's home as inspiration, the invite asked guests to pick a style from that era. James Bond, Sinatra, and Mod were some suggestions. Have a look at everyone's interpretations!

Faux & Fabulous

I am allergic to fur so I have no desire to wear it. But I do love my faux fur vest by Rachel Zoe! I signed up for The Zoe Report and subscribers were offered the chance to purchase it before it was available to everyone on QVC.


Jaime loves the vest too!

One reason she's anti-fur? She designed PETA's LA offices. Check em out below:

Doesn't the faux red fox look smashing with Simba's coat?

Let's Play Dress Up!

If you were to open InStyle magazine, which outfit would make you say: She looks fantastic! or I want that dress!

Jaime is preparing for a ridiculously glam photo shoot with InStyle magazine. She'll be featured with one of her megastar clients. A beautiful young performer known all around the world. Trust me. You know her name. So does your mom & the kids around you. She's a superstar.

Don't fret about figuring out who it is. My lips are zipped. Our dilemma right now is choosing which outfit Jaime should pick!

They're all designed by Valerj Probega. The issue will be out this fall. I am DYING to choose & add commentary, but I wanna hear yours!

I love this look on her. Here she is with another one of my favorite people - her partner Ron Woodsoon - at my house.

Barfasaurus

Simba threw up on this green armchair this morning. It's my favorite piece of furniture from W&R Design.

I think plans for this barf attack have been in the works for quite some time.

Look at those eyes.

"Who me?" With a hint of, "When you're not looking..."

Designer Delights

This is a fashion/interior design post, so let's kick this off with a Jaime montage. (For my tweethearts, she's @jrummerfield)

Isn't she the perky picture of perfection? Look at buzzkill on the right. Can you tell these were taken late at night? I'm about to fall asleep into my hand. The perils of waking up at 2:30 in the morning...

Let's rewind to the highlights!

I met two powerhouses of the design world!

Catherine Malandrino, French fashion designer & guest judge on Project Runway. She is so glamorous it hurts. Her long black hair, her elegant presence, that hot pink plunging neckline of her own creation. Sigh.

All interior design fans know exactly who I'm posing with above. Margaret Russell, Editor In Chief of Elle Decor - my favorite design magazine. She was also a judge on Top Design with Kelly Wearstler. When I introduced myself to Margaret, she asked me if I was a designer. When I told her I'm with the media... she began to dish. Love her.

I told Margaret how much I love Top Design and she told me they are not renewing the show because it's so expensive to produce. Apparently you can spend a few dollars on fabric and make gorgeous clothes on Project Runway, but Top Design requires a lot more scratch. (She didn't actually say "scratch." Wouldn't that have been awesome?)

Wonder what they were talking about. Hatching more reality tv plans? Pretending to make small talk while the cameras flashed? Gossiping about the other guests' hideous outfits?

The party was in celebration of the Legends of La Cienega Design Walk. It was packed and the AC wasn't on. Margaret wasn't happy. She asked whether it was common for design stores to turn off their air conditioning. Don't worry, I stood up for LA. We love our air conditioning. And I agree with Ms. Russell. Do not host a party and let guests perspire unless they are dancing!

Robert & I trying to stay cool.

Touchups! I didn't remember to take any photos of the beautiful design shop - can't remember the name - they do have gorgeous mirrors and they're down the street from Woodson & Rummerfield.
