Spotted!: Legendary supermodel Kate Moss as the life of Prada’s after party during Paris fashion week on January 24, 2012.  Moss, who played d.j. at the party,  rocked a little black dress with an over-sized fur vest that gave the classic look a modern edge. She perfectly polished the look off with chunky, gold rings and a simple black clutch.  To get a look like Kate’s check out this Michael Kors’ fur vest at Neiman Marcus.

New Year. New You. New fashions!  Here are a few items that I have added to my “want list” and why.

#1  Outerwear Lust:  Black Leather Vest A black leather jacket is a closet staple.  I love my black leather jacket but sometimes I feel like it’s too much for the Los Angeles sunny weather and it hides my shirt underneath.  A black leather vest is perfect for layering and I like pairing it with a bright color to have your outfit pop.  This isn’t a biker vest or a super tight vest from the ’80s, think deconstructed, lose, almost like a cuddly sweater wrap but in leather that gives your outfit a ‘lil edge.

#2 Sunglass Lust: Baraque Frames Baraque side frames are fun, super feminine, and a throw back to the 1950s with a modern edge ; a great pair of frames to add to your sunglass collection.

#3 Fabric Lust:  Mesh We spotted mesh fabric everywhere at Milan’s Spring 2012 fashion week.  We also saw actress Jennifer Lawrence in a beautiful blue dress with mesh detailing at the 2012 People Choice Awards (look here).  I’m particularly fond of mesh work out clothes as it’s something different and gives your fitness look that extra touch.

#4 Color Lust: Red Red is the color of the season.  I am drawn to red because it is a power color; it’s classic, glamorous and sexy and you wear red when you want to be noticed.  Incorporate red into your wardrobe in an unexpected way, like with a red blazer or red pants, and stand out from the crowd!

#5 Shoe Lust:  Bling Take your black shoes up a notch with bling; think jewelry for your feet.  Add some extra fun in your step during those long work days with bling!

The Little Black Dress. A closet staple. A dress you can wear over and over again and no one will raise an eyebrow — if done correctly that is. SSD Co-Founders joined Jessica Alba as she hosted the Rimowa Luggage Store Opening in Beverly Hills and they all had one major thing in common, black.

It is time to welcome the sun and warm weather with one of the biggest trends for Spring/Summer 2011… NEON colors.  Celebrities such as Emma Roberts (pictured above), Kristen Bell, Fergie, Blake Lively, Paris Hilton and Vanessa Hudgens have all been taken a liking to this trend. The neon trend is not exclusive to clothes, it also includes shoes and accessories.  Designers like Marc Jacobs, Nini Ricci, Sonia Rykiel, and Prada have all included neons in their collections. Now it is time to buff up your days with a brand new and bright wardrobe for this season.

GQ Men of the Year Obama

GQis perhaps the most powerful men’s fashion magazine, so when their West Coast Editor Chris Huvane threw this year’s Men of The Year Party, many of Hollywood’s elite came out to celebrate. Chris hosted the party at the infamous Chateau Marmont, talented men honored on the cover issues included Obama, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, and Michael Phelps. When the men arrived, they did their red carpet duties and were swept in the hotel’s outdoor garden area. Sadly Obama could not make it, but the rest of the cover stars were present. Other guests included; Aaron Eckhart, Outkast’s ever fashionable Big Boi, Brian Austin Green, Elisha Cuthbert, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Jason Statham, Jerry Ferrara, Jon Hamm, Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Connolly, Matthew Fox, Megan Fox, Olivia Wilde, Rashida Jones, Rosario Dawson, Sarah Silverman, and Zac Efron.  We spent the evening with Executive Editor Adam Rappaport who introduced us to a great T- Shirt company, Bassinger, that he swears by, check out the photo below, he shared to Style Seen Daily that it’s the best shirt you could give a guy.

Also, Kelly Gray, who you might recognize as that beautiful face in all of the St. John’s clothing ad’s pre Angelina Jolie. Kelly, who has always loved the music scene, teamed up with Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue and created a new fashion line ROYAL UNDERGROUND. Starworks Co-Founder James Grant” The rocker chic line has some super soft cashmere hoodies we picked up and a full men’s line available in stores like Barney’s and Neiman Marcus. Along with us that night was also hotelier Jason Pomeranc of Thompson Hotels and James Grant, co-founder of Starworks. Men were decked out in Dolce & Gabana, Tom Ford, Prada, Gucci and even some. This is the one night then men really outshine the ladies.
Our dear friend, Degen Pener, Editor in Chief of Angeleno Magazine, was enjoying the evening and talking politics with fellow party goers. We caught up with him and insisted he pose for a photo with us, he did not mention who he was wearing, but we do know that his light blue button down and dark blue blazer really brought out his bright blue eyes!                      

Guests enjoyed cocktails and tray passed Chateau specials like Macaroni Balls, but at the end of the night, as we waited for our cars at the valet, a big In-n-Out burger truck passed out delicious food to everyone!
