bonjour tristesse

Temperley London, Resort 09: so sweet!

I have a wonderful interview coming up with fashion illustrator LULU* that I think you will love. But today I'm heading out early to put some of the first pieces of my new Spring 09 luxury bags into production. From there I'll be covering the latest in hair at Juan Juan Beverly Hills before experiencing the InterContinental Hotel and Spa for my column in Affluent. In the evening I'll be stopping by the opening of Hotel Palomar in Westwood, and tomorrow morning, hitting the press preview for LACMA's new Age of Imagination exhibit. In other words, it's a jam-packed day and a half so I'm going to keep it short and just leave you with more Resort 09 prettiness.

Although Bonjour Tristesse was the inspiration for Vera Wang's collection, the theme of romantic teenage love in the South of France seems to fit the overall mood of Resort this year. Here are some of my new Resort 09 favorites:


Loving Malandrino's body-conscious dresses!


More French chic from Malandrino.



Nicole Miller: a little Lohan, but in a good way.


Cynthia Rowley: I like the quirky sassiness.
