Los Angeles is crazed with celebs entertaining the Golden Globes weekend. Over in Beverly Hills at new hot spot Confidential Beverly Hills many starlets retreated to get pampered and dolled up for their Golden Globe destinations at THE Hospitality Suite. VIPs were pampered with Makeup Mandy Lashes, Infinity Tanning, OPI Nails, and hair by my lovely and talented friends George Papanikolas and Mika Fowler with Joico Haircare.
Miley Cyrus accessorized her ravishing Roberto Cavalli gown at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards with large dangle earrings and an Elodie K. snake stud earring in black silver and diamonds with pink sapphire eyes, adding a fun and youthful touch to her look for the night.
Miley joins the growing group of fashionable starlets who have been spotted in Elodie K. recently, including Kelly Osbourne, Taryn Manning, Kelly Rowland, Samaire Armstrong, Lindsay Lohan and Demi Lovato. Since its spring 2011 launch, Elodie K. has created a line of diamond jewelry perfect for the young and style savvy with everything from earrings and rings to hand bracelets, body chains and head pieces. Elodie K. jewelry is available for purchase at Rose Ark in Los Angeles and Alchemist in Miami.

Inspired by the bohemian spirit of the Mediterranean, Elodie K.s délicate gold chains are designed to unmistakably highlight the hands, feet and body with the utmost subtlety. Adorned with diamonds snakes, lips or only gems the rose, white and yellow gold designs are both glamour and timeless.

Style Seen Daily friend Taryn Manning seen DJ’ing in her Shay Todd at the Revel pool party on Saturday, June 25 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas. The multi-talented Manning got the crowd going spinning Ke$ha’s hit “Blow” before performing her recently released hit single, “Turn It Up” with artist Satega.
Her black Shay Todd One piece, $198, was anything but basic with three keyhole cut outs and decorative gold button detail that added just the right amount of spice.

Ashley Simpson-Wentz at the Solstice Luncheon at Eveleigh in Los Angeles, CA on November 16, 2010.
Solstice celebrated the launch of SolsticeSunglasses.com with what you could call a ladies luncheon at our friend’s beautiful and yummy new restaurant Eveleigh in Los Angeles on Tuesday, November 16, 2010. Style Seen Daily spent the afternoon with Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Gabrielle Union, Amber Tamblyn, Elisha Cuthbert, Monet Mazur, Emily Rossum, Taryn Manning, Jordana Brewster, Eva Amurri, Kate Mara, Sasha Alexander and many more. Oh yes, there were some (less than a handful really) heterosexual men there, like “Weed” actor Hunter Parrish, and this eligible bachelor had a great time sipping champagne cocktails and talking fashion with the ladies.
Hunter Parish and Rebecca Hunter at at Eveleigh in Los Angeles, CA on November 16, 2010.
Hunter pictured above with Rebecca Hunter. Rebecca shared with us one of her favorite fashions — pairing tights with shorts. She told me that she’s bought several pairs of shorts and tights of late and loves that she can sport this trend in Los Angeles. She also is a fan of pearls — and picked out her grey cardigan because of the pearl detailing. All great choices Rebecca!
Now, back to Hunter, who is actually one of my favorite LA guys and I credit him for keeping my breakfast super healthy — Parrish shared with me a while back his “secret” egg receipe — egg whites with mustard — it really is yummy! Originally from Texas, he’s kept his Southern Charm and isn’t ever afraid to make fun of himself, “Have I gone Hollywood? I’m so rude!” he jokes. Super cute guy who we here at SSD always enjoy watching on Showtime and, trust me, you’ll be seeing much more of Hunter in the future. A Fambrini forecast: Hunter will make People’s sexiest guy list at some point in his career.
And, speaking of Showtime, how many of you out there are excited to check out the new series “Shameless” starring the lovely Emily Rossum? I know I certainly am and gave Emily my congrats.

Emily is as sweet as pie and we had a good laugh over some “shameless” things of our past, which I’m NOT sharing, some things better left to the imagination. But here’s a hint, let’s just say the promo for Shameless doesn’t seem too far fetching.
Ok, ok, so let me get to what the party was about — sunglasses. And living in Los Angeles, you must have more than one pair.

Celebrities, media and VIP’s celebrated Solstice new online boutique by exploring the site’s new design, functions, social media elements and extended product offerings. Guests viewed over 40 luxury, designer and sport sunglass brands, including Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Marc Jacobs, Bottega Veneta, Carrera and Smith Optics among others, on portable iPads and computers, while enjoying bites from the kitchen and beats by Tendaji.

Gabriel Union and Ali Fedotowsky both gravitate towards big circle sunglasses, as it is a perfect way to glam up any outfit. And very Jackie O reminiscent. Also, I must say I’m loving Ali in blue, thanks to her amazing stylist who was at her side the entire luncheon.

Actress, singer and co-founder of Born Uniqorn, Taryn Manning, closed Los Angeles Spring 2009 fashion week by throwing a party at Park Showroom, located in LA downtown fashion district. Manning performed with her band Boomkat while friends and models danced on the stage, showing off her latest designs.

Manning told Style Seen Daily, “It’s a throwback to the free love and flower child era with elements that make the line look and feel relevant,” adding, “Old meets new, clothes are like a blank canvas where it’s up to you to complete your look and personalize it in any way you desire – cut, add, accessorize, layer, etc.”
Manning and her best friend Tara Jane are the talent behind Born Uniqorn, a fashion line the two had been dreaming about since junior high.
“Our line is a reflection of the times, conjuring up individuality as we are facing a new election and dealing with war,” Manning said. “Born Uniqorn is all about Being Unique, B.U.”

Tara Jane adds, “It’s a blend between whimsical hippie mixed with funky street edge.”
The 70’s vibe of the clothing line, along with the open bar, set the stage for the roughly 150 party attendees. Everyone was in good spirits, talking to each other, posing for pictures and dancing to Boomkat.
MTV was filming for its docu-reality program Made, where one high school boy with zero fashion taste was getting schooled to fix the problem. British Vogue also covered the event.
Manning is a critically acclaimed actress best known for her role as “Nola” in Paramount Picture’s Hustle & Flow and the lead singer/songwriter of Boomkat. Her longtime BFF, Tara Jane, is a Hollywood tastemaker who spent several years as a top promoter alongside Brent Bolthouse.

Born Uniqorn’s line includes outerwear, dresses, tops, pants, leggings, and select novelty items. The Hollywood-based lifestyle brand has garnered loyal fans including the likes of Rachel Bilson, Samantha Ronson and Tori Spelling. It’s sold nationwide at retailers including Ron Herman, Brunette, RevolveClothing, and Native.
