Cult of California

Not too long ago I became aware of Jennifer Wilder, a smart, savvy, veteran designer about to launch a Plus size fitness and lounge wear line called Cult of California. "Worship at the altar of you". I like it.

I got to help out at the recent fashion show launch party and trunk show which was full of great energy and insiders in the plus size industry. 

A fantastic launch and fashion show, a GREAT party, but most importantly a fabulous line - remarkably, reasonably priced.

Clearly Jen Wilder had a vision with her line of edgy, sexy workout wear for women of all shapes and sizes! Finally, something I want to wear to the gym, or for drinks and there is even a section devoted to club wear. All of it is easy, stylish and has definite sex appeal. 

Another hallmark of Cult of California that is unique, is that the line ranges in size from 8/10 to 28/30. It is truly Size Positive and a reflection of women of various shapes. Sexy, functional fashion that fits average to larger women of many sizes,I love it!

Check out the line, now! Hurry before it sells out.

Cinema Style: Jean Seberg in Breathless

In Jean-Luc Goddard's Breathless, Jean Seberg is fresh, forward, chic, and femminine without effort. The American in Paris love story, is a classic story, but Breathless, is maybe the most fascinating. Seberg is definitely the most fascinating of our favorite American heroines in Paris. 

Here in Los Angeles The Motion Picture Academy of Art and Sciences (aka the people who bring us the Oscars) will hold a screening of a special 50th Anniversary print of Breathless in 35mm. The restoration was done in 2010 and I will be happily report on the screening later in month.

In the meantime, who isn't impressed by the subtle effeminate styling of Jean Seberg in her cropped do and striped wardrobe. Maybe she alone is responsible for my love of stripes. We who are in love with the New Wave, salute Breathless for timeless style.

Under Construction!

Hi Dolls, Sorry It's taken so very long for me to post! I've been hard at work and as always literally under construction.

I've literally been constructing my spring/summer wardrobe as inspiration for Custom offerings to come! And last but not least, I've been taking care of myself! As I hope you are too lovelies!
