  Furnish Your Flat With The Help Of Cliff Spencer Furniture

  

  Modern Luxury on Sep 15, 2009 8:17 AM PDT
  

  Furniture maker mavens Cliff and Leigh Spencer design with our future in mind and sustainability is the key. The husband and wife duo, based in scenic seaside Marina Del Rey, California, live and work by a single philosophy: live simply. But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality or style. By bringing an eco-aware flair to their custom cabinetry and furniture pieces, the natural beauty of the wood takes center stage. Working with traditional (walnut, cherry, maple) and non-traditional (mesquite, eucalyptus, sycamore) woods, they create luxury items out of something you use every day.

  Amsterdam International Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010: ...

  

  Fleur VandenBerge on Aug 12, 2009 8:23 AM PDT
  

  Born in Los Angeles from the socialite mind of Ava Riley and brought to Amsterdam in cooperation with Olcay Gulsen, the SuperTrash collection may exude plenty of Hollywood It-Girl glamour at heart, but it has undoubtedly adopted plenty of Dutch flavor. The label showed at this season's Amsterdam International Fashion Week in a crowded venue with former supermodel Janice Dickinson as a special guest sitting front row. The collection was split into three themes: Animal Jungle, Blossom and Kaleidoscope. The first was inspired by all imperfections of nature, such as animal prints and flowing lines, while the second theme conjured up spring-like elements- elegant, glamorous, and a little naive. Kaleidoscope was all about colors with bright tunics and caftans. Overall it was very commercial, very feminine, and a very playful display of fashion that SuperTrash pulled off well. Take a look at the slideshow for a glimpse of the collection!

  Hot In The Hive: Kitson's New Nail Polish Line!

  

  Alex Gambardella on Jul 14, 2009 6:24 AM PDT
  

  If you've ever stepped foot inside Kitson LA, you've probably noticed that they carry pretty much everything except the kitchen sink... and their own nail polish -- until now! Inspired by the colorful backdrop of Los Angeles, Kitson LA Nail Polish will offer ten shades with names like Kitson Kisses, Paparrazi Red, and Kitson Envy (which is a far cuter color than "Smoggy Gray-Green" would have been) and incorporates hues with both glossy and matte finishes. And you don't have to feel bad about stinking up the room while you touch-up your tips -- the formula is non-toxic and lead-free! These colors officially arrive in store and online at www.shopkitson.com in two weeks, so make sure to plan ahead so you can grab yours before fellow shoppers like Nicole Richie and Ashley Tisdale snatch them all up!
  
  
  Price: $10 each
  Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Kitson LA Nail Polish to the Hive.

  Stock Up On Tarina Tarantino's City Girls Collection ...

  

  Karmaloop Goodkarma on May 20, 2009 8:18 AM PDT
  

  Jewelry is a girl's best friend. With that in mind, I have completely indulged in Tarina Tarantino's "City Girls" collection. This summer, the L.A.-based accessories and jewelry designer introduces her new collection. Inspired by her favorite cities around the world, Tarina has created an iconic girl who represents the essence of the city and the chic women who live there. The first to launch is Los Angeles, Tarina's favorite city in the world and the place she calls home, and they're now available at Karmaloop.com. The L.A. City Girl grew up on the east side, shops on Melrose and hangs out in Hollywood. Taking inspiration from all over the City of Angels, this girl wears a thick sleeve of LA tattoos up along her arm. Sugar skulls from the day of the dead celebration on Olvera Street appear on new stones, while the roses from Pasadena highlight necklaces and earrings. The muted palate of grays, gold, silver, black and white from old Hollywood films all inspire the colors and Swarovski crystals used in this collection. Tarina's collection is baroque, ornate and full of special details, reflecting her famous sparkling and colorful creations. My favorite pieces are the long multibead locket necklace in gold, the cast metal hollowpoint bullet bead necklace in gold and the metallic bead and crystal stretch bracelet. Check out the rest of the collection at Karmaloop.com.
