Rebecca Minkoff West Coast Sample Sale!
If you are a fan of Rebecca Minkoff like I am, the West Coast sample sale will be in full force in both LA and San Francisco this coming weekend. I won’t be able to go this time due to family obligations, but I will be there in spirit with all my fellow Minkettes. Have fun and happy shopping!

I absolutely love it when my worlds collide in such a fabulous way. I subscribe to email updates from many fashion lines, and one of them is Dior. I hope to one day own a Lady Dior purse of my own, and seeing this clip just makes me want one even more: Beautiful models Daria Strokous, Melissa Stasiuk and Xiao Wen Ju sashay among equally stunning interior and exterior shots set to none other than Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence”. Click here or on the picture to view the video. Veuillez apprécier la vidéo, merci!
(Note: Apparently there is also a new Depeche Mode album due in November 2012 and tour in the works for 2013, according to David Gahan here. Hopefully all goes well and they come back to San Diego!)

Happy Mother’s Day!
Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mums out there. Hope you all had a wonderful day!
Swearing
My first Wendy Brandes purchase was the asterisk ring (seen here first), which I wear practically everyday because it is quite adorable. I finally bought the rings that I have had my eye on since I was introduced to Wendy’s blog and jewelry line: the WendyB swear rings. I first saw them on B at Beautifully Invisible and fell in love. This set of rings are show stoppers and conversation pieces. After I posted a picture of them on Instagram, I went to a family party and those who follow my blog grabbed my hand when I arrived, just to see them in person.
As with the asterisk ring, the quality is amazing, and they are so much lighter than they appear. I was asked previously if the set was a “bar ring”. These rings are not attached and can be worn individually. Click here for for the set I bought in silver, or click here for the gold-plated version. Both styles are adjustable, so one size will fit most hands. Although you may find other versions of her designs out there (see her post on the subject here), you will not find anything like size and quality of Wendy’s originals. I swear!
(Edited on May 14, 2012 to add the picture above, after a manicure. On Mother’s Day, I finished the last book of the Fifty Shades trilogy and my nail color for my mani-pedi was called Dominiatrix. I just had to wear the rings!)
Spike It
Other than the music, something that I have carried through from the 80′s are the appearance of spikes in my wardrobe in the form of a bracelet or belt. My choice of metal is usually the pyramid spike, but I’m leaning towards the cone-shaped spike more and more these days. I then discovered these ever so sexy open-toe ”Lorissa” pumps from Sam Edelman, which are sprinkled with cone-shaped spikes and bejeweled with gems. Since yesterday was my birthday, I bought a pair at Bloomingdale’s as a present to myself (black is no longer available, but Endless still has them here). Our son was a bit concerned that my new shoes may hurt, but I assured him that they were only for decorative purposes and will not hurt anyone. My niece wasn’t afraid at all and walked around the house for a good 15 minutes. I think I know who’s going to be raiding my closet in the next few years!
Last weekend, we attended the 11th birthday party for Layla, one of my little cousins. Although I didn’t capture any party pictures (I left that to Layla’s mom and dad), I did capture this fantastic cake. The icing photo on the cake is Layla’s own drawing of one of her favorite characters from the Japanese anime series called ”Naruto”. Not only is Layla beautiful, a talented singer and artist, but she also shares her mother’s fashion sense (my cousin Janis has always dressed her well). While the free-hand drawing itself is amazing, what I love is that Layla has incorporated her fondness for fashion in her signature. I think she’s a Juicy girl for life. Hope you had a great weekend!
May The 4th Be With You
Before the day ends, I thought I would dedicate a quick post to all of my geek friends.
Happy Star Wars Day!
