Get ready and get set to shop this weekend. The new wing and new, larger Nordstrom at Los Cerritos Center is opening today, Friday, May 7, with great fanfare. We’re talking a new M.A.C Cosmetics, a new True Religion Brand Jeans, and a new Love Culture, just to name a few. See below for the 411 on the main events and hot savings that you won’t want to miss out on.
Finally shapewear you can swim in!
These swimsuits slim, smooth and suck you in. I feel very strongly that every woman should own shapewear — no matter what your size. Let’s be real, we all have our “jiggly” days. Shapewear disguises it. They are snug to put on but comfortable to wear all day. And my absolute FAVORITE part about these transforming swimsuits is that they do not look like shapers. The designs are right on point.
I’ll admit something here, during my pageant days (yes I did pageants) I had the fear of god in me about walking in front of thousands of people in a swimsuit. So what myself and many other girls would do is get custom made swimsuits to help make us feel more secure — yes, it broke the bank, but the confidence booster that came with a custom made swimsuit was worth the money and I had no problem working overtime to cover it. That was before SPANX simwear ofcourse. The SPANX swimsuits are $178 each and trust me, it’s an investment in YOU.
If you are hesitant to show your bod at the beach, please listen to me and go try on a SPANX swimsuit. It will give you that confidence needed to say yes to those beach bunny days. Swim sizes typically run small, so it’s good to choose a size larger than your pant size.
And these SPANX swimsuits also are available in two pieces. Check out this sexy itsy bitsy bikini that’s really a secret SPANX…

Los Angeles is not really known as a place to experience new music, at least not these days, but we have a new found hope after our friend Beau Swayze from CAA invited us out to see this Australian band Andy Clockwise. Andy Kelly, a.k.a. Andy Clockwise along with his drummer Stella Mozgawa and Bassist Josh Norton rocked the famous Troubador. Not only did they impress us with their music, but we loved their style.
We’ve never wanted to be a performer more in our life, the female drummer Stella, who has a resume of playing with Smashing Pumpkins, KISS, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Perry Ferrell – to name a few – rocked her own style while rocking the room with her drumming skills. Doning a furry hat with ear flaps, black shorts, black tights with a run in them and a proper white blouse. Now usually we would say no one looks good in tights with holes, but if you saw Stella, well she can pulled it off – even that hat worked. Maybe its that we were in awe of her energy, or maybe it was just that she seemed like that sort of rocker chick we all have once wanted to be, in like an iconic Joan Jett way, whatever the case, we are big fans now.
She and the lead singer Andy created an electric energy that kept you both moving and staring, while the bassist rocked in and out of the act in the most perfect way. Then just when we did not think we could love Stella anymore, she jumped out from behind her drums and broke into song with Andy, “Open Relationship“, the words made us smile, laugh, even blush, and the beat forced us to bust a move. In an effort to share this song with you, we found a video, not the best quality, but its the best we have for now. Hopefully we can direct you to purchase their music sooner than later.
Style is certainly best when its original and unique, not only did Andy Clockwise win our ears, they won our eyes and we can’t wait to see what is next for them. A combination of Beck, Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and maybe even Prince, with soul screams, a sense of humor, dual drumming and jumping into the crowds, they had us at hello, just like Tom Cruise did in Jerry Macguire.
To get Stella’s look and explore your own rockstar, even if it just means blasting music in your car and singing at the top of your lungs, we suggest the following;
1. white blouse, tommy hilfiger
2. black shorts, h&m
3. semi-opaque black tights, h&m

Want to know what’s on mom’s short list of secret wishes? Right below wanting her children to be happy and successful, which of course tops the charts, she covets those things that we all do – being fresh, youthful, together and doted on.
Step away from the candles and lotion for Mother’s Day and get her something new this year that maybe she wouldn’t ever ask for, but really wants. Here’s a cheat sheet of my top five faves in that category for Mother’s Day 2010:
What it looks like in print and what it looks like in real life are 2 completely different worlds…

Here’s a style secret that you may not have considered: what you wear under there can make or break your look. No one may “see” your bra-du-jour, but if your undergarments are oh-so wrong, it is oh-so obvious and you’re advertising your fashion faux-pas to, well — everyone who sees you.
Let’s get specific: eight out of every ten women are currently wearing the wrong bra size, and the collective style quotient of our gender is being brought down. Ladies – this is embarrassing – let’s not lie, but it’s thankfully an issue easily remedied.

It’s stylish to be in support of your friends. And because of that, Style Seen Daily teamed up with Digital LA to help coordinate the “Hosts Go Digital” event at Open Door Productions. A networking event with a panel discussion that included such noted hosts and industry insiders as Ben Lyons (E!), Adrianna Costa (TV Guide), Conor Knighton (Current TV), Alec Shankman (CEO Gotcast.com) and Maureen Browne (Hosting Coach, Formerly E! Casting Director). Check out the quick “Crystal Cam V Log segment I did after the panel talking about the event’s highlights… .
