Gift Idea: Le Labo


Meet my fvorite candle: LE LABO'S Santal. If any of you have visited the Grammercy Park Hotel in NYC, you know it smells AMAZING- thanks to Le Labo. They have stores in NY and LA as well as inside Barneys department stores. If you don't live near any of those places, you can order from their website. Their candles make a great gift- they even print your name on it (or whoever you're giving the candle to's name). They have a bunch of different scents to choose from, but this smells kind of like a smokey fig- and it's the most similar to the Grammercy's signature scent. You're welcome ;)

Steal her look: Leighton Meester

Robin Thicke's Album Release Party at Butter
Leighton Meester revealed her dark side in a little black dress and Louboutin leopard print booties last night at Butter in NYC. You can steal her look with this tiered crinkle dress from FOREVER 21 and these Type Z booties from ZAPPOS.

Andre Courreges is the master of space-age design. The Parisian designer became popular in the '60s for his futuristic, yet simple collection. I've always thought of his line as being really fun like Pucci or Missoni. Today, his pieces are incredibly collectible (below is a photo of the always amazing Rachel Zoe wearing one of his jackets).



Today, while I was out thrifting, I stumbled across a black Courreges bag, with his logo embossed on the front flap. Since I already have the white version, I felt like it was like the missing piece to the puzzle!




If you want either of these bags, you can email me at thefashioncurrent@gmail.com

Natalie Portman is possibly the most beautiful person ever...

I saw Brothers last night (awesome movie) and yes, she was very pretty, but seriously, she looks RIDICULOUS in this video from behind the scenes at her V Magazine photo shoot with Mario Testino. Kind of obsessed.

CANNOT wait...

SO excited for NINE, Rob Marshall's (CHICAGO) new movie starring Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Fergie, Marion Cotillard, and Nicole Kidman.

Steal her look: Ashlee


Ashlee Simpson Wentz loves her J Brand skinny ankle jeans...Steal her look and opt for a less pricey pair by BDG. They're called the Ankle Grazer, and they're amazing. I live in them. Available at URBAN OUTFITTERS.

If only I had just a little more change in my pocket...

Take a look at this yacht designed by WHY: a collaboration of Wally and HERMES. Yes, HERMES as in HERMES Paris, as in Birkin bags...




Steal her look: SJP


Sarah Jessica Parker looked STUNNING at the premiere of her new movie "Did You Hear About the Morgans" in a L'Wren Scott hot pink mini dress and floor length gothic coat. Personally, I am OBSESSED with velvet looks these days- especially for the holidays! Her coat reminded me of an insane black velvet vintage piece by Henri Bendel that I've been rocking a lot lately.

Catherine Tramell




Most people discuss Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct for her lack of clothes, but her wardrobe is absolutely AMAZING. This movie, for Catherine Tramell's clothing alone, is definitely worth a look. Her style is 90's perfection.

Who doesn't love Twiggy?

Photobucket

Who doesn't love Twiggy? As someone who loves vintage everything, I love vintage Twiggy. Her amazing 60's and 70's style is iconic. Her outfit in this photo captures the real-deal hippie look which, of course, led to today's boho movement that almost every Young Hollywood "it" girl is sporting to The Ivy and Mauro's. Yesterday, I came across an amazing Jean Muir brown suede coat from the 1970's- Photos coming soon!
