Christina Hendricks on the November Cover of Harper's Bazaar.
Christina Hendrix is one of Hollywood’s hottest vixens and she is featured on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar November 2010 issue. This stunning actress plays Joan, a super sexy secretary on TV’s hottest show, Mad Men.
As a star so frequently compared to Marilyn Monroe, men love her and women love her even more. Hendricks is named “the sexiest woman in the world” in a 2010 poll of female readers taken by Esquire magazine.
Christina Hendricks isn’t just a TV super star, she has become a style icon with the most fashionable figure to date. She even has her own “Joan” Barbie.
With her fiery red hair, voluminous frame and bright bold lips she is the epitome of sultry. Note: Although she is known for her red hair and buxom physique, Hendricks is a natural blonde. She began coloring her hair red at the age of ten.

As a style icon her character Joan has brought back the sexy look of the 60s, and on the red carpet Christina dresses fashion forward. She dazzled the crowd in Zac Posen at the Emmy Awards.

Style Seen Daily Co Founder Crystal Fambrini with Broadcasting Legend Larry King. Larry even decided to venture out to check out Fashion's Night Out.
This year Los Angeles really picked it up for the second annual Fashion’s Night Out. My fellow fashionistas and I could barely contain our excitement for all the festivities planned around town. Unfortunately, everything was at the same time and in completely different areas so you really had to make a plan of attack and decide ahead of time what part of the city you wanted to check out. I mean the options were tempting; hang with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at The Beverly Center as he officially kicked off the night, go to Westfield Century City Mall to check out the VIP events there and see Justin Timberlake unveil his new shoe line at the William Rast store, or head over to Robertson Boulevard to reconnect with my designer friends at Moods of Norway to snack on their famous waffles while trying on clothes. Lots of options.
But I knew with my lack of patience on the road driving and this being on a Friday evening where traffic was sure to be plentiful, I decided I had to play it safe and pick one spot. So, the decision – Rodeo Drive. I didn’t care what celebrities where going to be where, I just wanted to take a ride on the ferris wheel in the middle of Rodeo Drive. You bump into celebrities all the time here in Hollywood (like Larry King in the pic with me above) – but a ferris wheel on Rodeo Drive is a very rare occurrence. Also just as rare — all the fancy stores on Rodeo Drive replacing their intimidating security people out front with lovely smiling models. Instead of only welcoming in the big spenders, tonight was a night for all fashionistas — no matter if you bought something or not! Like a shopping open house. Now can you understand more why my friends and I were getting heart palpitations?
I started at the north end of Rodeo Drive, taking pictures along the way (see slideshow below), with my goal being to end at the south side of Rodeo at the ferris wheel. Now it’s only a handful of blocks, but with all the most amazing stores open with models standing outside beckoning you in and offering you champagne, it did take me quite a long time to make it to my destination. I also got distracted by the Chanel store, but a very happy distraction, as I sit here and type this I find delight looking down at my “CC” temporary tattoo on my arm. It’s been almost a week, and the tattoo is still looking great. Thanks Chanel! I decided to take some video in the Chanel store… take a look…
OK, so being a typical Angelino, I didn’t actually end up going on the ferris wheel — it was full of kids and it was a tad too cold (I didn’t bring a jacket). But I DID touch it, which in my book, is just as worthwhile.
Yes, I actually made it to the ferris wheel!
And since I was so cold, literally shaking, I found myself diving into the Jimmy Choo store for comfort. And oh, what comfort that was — but that’s another entry.
At the end of the night I was so exhausted from all the fashion fun I ended up passing out on top of my bed with my shopping bags in lieu of my blankets. In my sleepy haze I thought, Venice has First Fridays, can’t Rodeo Drive do something like that too? Can’t the first Friday of every month be Fashion’s Night Out? Hey, a girl can dream.
The Beverly Center's Fashion's Night Out on September 10, 2010.
From Japan to Australian Fashion’s Night Out hit the globe Friday, September 10, 2010 to many a shopper’s delight. And Los Angeles celebrated for the first time in LA history a fabulous night of fashion with parties and events happening at the sametime all over the city. Rodeo Drive was closed to traffic so shoppers could stroll the street. The Beverly Center was LA’s fashion hub, with free shuttles to all the shopping parties around Los Angeles. The center hosted events of all sorts with celebrities like Will.I.Am and Danielle Alonso in attendance. As a celebration to fashion, and to help spur consumer spending, this event was sponsored by Vogue Magazine as an appreciation of the fashion and retail industry. Festivities were in full swing as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa kicked off the evening declaring shoppers to shop until they dropped.
The event began with a glamorous fashion show which stared Style Seen Daily friend, Stephanie Pratt of “The Hills,” to walk down the runway. This seasons hottest looks for men and women and top designers dresses pulled from the Beverly Center itself made a great runway show. After the fashion show, acrobats took over the runway and impressed the crowd with their remarkable talent of flips, spins and lifts that would make your head spin.

Glitz, Glamor and sales oh my! What more can a girl ask for? Stores were giving out discounts galore as well as free cocktails that made pulling out that credit card a little bit easier. Stores like Steve Madden, Chinese Laundry, Coach and Victoria’s Secret were getting the party started with DJs bumping great jams and killer sales.

Project Runway’s Robby Kashou was outside of Papyrus signing autographs and featuring one of his newest gowns. Not only was this gown absolutely beautiful, but it was made entirely out of paper products that could be found inside the store. Talk about P.S. I Made This. I got to see the dress up close and personal and also talk to Robby himself, and let me tell you, this dress was something that should be on the red carpet.

With a night full of shopping, spending and soaking up the glamourous ambience it was time to call it quits and gear up for next year’s big event. So watch out fahionistas, LA will be pulling out even more stops for next years fashion extravaganza, and I am already marking it down on my calendar.

The night ended with some sparkle as the hostesses, dolled up in pearls, served up cupcakes and bottles of Svedka Vodka topped with sparkler fireworks to add a little flare to the evening.

SSD Teammember Francesca Baldi at the Volcom Spring 2011 Fashion Show.
California’s surf legends fashion brand Volcom kicked off the summer with a splash as they launched their Spring 2011 collection of swimwear and must-haves to get temperatures to reach smokin’ hot. And I was there ready to report for my first Style Seen Daily article.
Volcom fans and fashionistas filed into the Cooper Design Space in Downtown Los Angeles to catch a glimpse of what to expect for Spring bikini season. The ambience was a beachy urban vibe that made for some great fashion finds in the crowd. From western to hipsters I saw it all…heaven.

Models of the Runway Volcom Spring 2011 Fashion Show.
The show kicked off with a bang as the crowd got to catch a few clips of a So Cal summer with bikini clad beauties. The models rocked it in some amazing pieces that made me want to buy one of everything. From denim, to florals. Volcom stopped at nothing to make their Spring 2011 collection unstoppable. The one thing that I loved the most about the show was none other than the…SHOES! What gal doesn’t just LOVE a pair of clogs? The models were sporting remarkable clogs that are the newest fashion find to hit the streets of LA along with some Jeffery Campbell wedges that made me fall in love, so as the rest of the crowd watched the bikinis pass by I was addicted to the footwear.
Killer Hair That will Have You Going Gaga.
Hair Accessories and Jazzed up Heals Make for the Perfect Summer.
Not only the shoes but also the accessories made me go gaga. I absolutely want to start wearing more accessories in my hair…it gives Ke$ha a whole new meaning. Feathers, flowers and neon’s oh my. After a day with all that in my hair I can image quite a neck ache, but those models rocked it flawlessly.
Volcom Model Bikini Clad and Loving it.
Bigger is better maybe when you’re in Texas, but here in Cali we like to think the smaller the better when it comes to swimwear. It’s all about flaunting that itsy bitsy bikini and let me tell you, Volcom mastered the art in their 2011 Spring Swimwear collection. The bathing suits featured in the show were an eclectic blend of high wasted pieces, itsy bitsy bottoms and cutouts that will make you go gaga for glamorous swimwear…I fell in love.
Volcom Models Rock Fabulous Hair Accessories.
Volcom must have picked up from the words of Katy Perry, “Daisy dukes, bikinis on top” because from flannels to daisy dukes the models were flaunting the necessary pieces for a perfect day at the beach. Because we all know…”California girls we’re unforgettable!”
