I’m not going to lie.

I like to look at shiny objects. What’s super funny is that when I see shiny objects I start to sing this song in my head…

Booty booty booty rock it everywhere. Booty booty booty rock it everywhere. Booty booty booty runneth over the treasure chest.

So weird, right?

Well in anycase I am looking forward to going to the International Gem Show…

They are going to have tons of loot (as in pirate’s booty/ treasure) at “special show” prices. Let’s go and ogle some booty!

I love goldstar.com.

Nanette Lepore Ambiance Top

It is still a scorching 90 degrees here in sunny Los Angeles, the leaves haven’t even changed color, nor is the sun setting earlier. Yet, the fashion industry keeps on spinning their innovative wheels and that in turn, keeps me on my heels. I can’t wait to see what my favorite designers are going to be coming out with!

For anyone that is in New York during September 5th through the 12th and has a chance to check the Spring 2009 Collection at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is damned lucky! For the rest of you New Yorkers, watch out for the traffic and keep on trucking.

I am sOo tempted to register and try to get a press pass. But really, rejection this early in the morning is not my thing. So I will just sit here and drool over the schedule.

Until next time Max Azria, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Nanette Lepore…
