Oh Yes I Did!

When I was in Beverly Hills a couple weeks ago picking up this most fabulous Vuitton bikini, I stopped into Miu Miu, a favorite (possible top 3) line.

I fell in love instantly with this distressed sequin clutch.

I left the store that day empty handed but my new love remained with me.

I dreamed of this clutch. I looked at pictures online as if I were stalking an ex-boyfriend on Facebook! I would open the internet browser, look at pictures.. gazing intently, click around, sigh, then close the computer.

And then I put outfits together that just.. didn't seem complete without this clutch! It would look great with this black dress! Or my ripped jean jacket! Or this pink top! I even twittered a picture of it!

There was a whole in my soul... And alas, I couldn't take it any longer...

I went back to MiuMiu just to visit. I certianly wasn't going to buy it! Just look. Maybe it wasn't as cute in person as I had originally thought. Maybe it would be too small!

But no.

It was as amazing as ever. Equal parts glam and hippie. Black yet multicolored. Casual yet dressy. Fabulous yet fabulous.

I bought the bag. And we lived happily ever after.

Most Expensive Bikini I Now Own

I was flipping through April's Vogue, when I pointed and said aloud, "I want that"!

I was referring to Lara Stone's body. (I kid.) Well.. it was both the bod and the bikini.

Normally, (until I am a millionaire, of course) a $560 bikini is out of the question. However, I had a credit at Louis Vuitton. The gold tassel keychain that my boyfriend got me as a birthday gift broke twice! So the store gave me a credit instead third time around...

Thus I am the proud owner of this most expensive ikat monogram bikini.

Happy face. End of story.

In Yoga

I just returned home from a delicious yoga class and thought I'd share with you this fabulous yoga studio, In Yoga!

I met Kelly, one of the studio owners, during the holidays at a trunk show where I was selling my namesake line of crystal hair accessories LoveBerman.

Anyhow, we got to talking and realized that her new yoga studio was in my new neighborhood! Just a 5 minute drive down Laurel Canyon! Aside from its convenient proximity, the studio is gorgeous, full of natural light and offers a wide range of classes from stretch yoga to advanced 90 minute classes. They have a really cute gift shop and there is lots of free parking in the back!

I highly recommend it! J'adore!!

Namaste.

Do you have a favorite yoga studio?

Sweet Santa Barbara

This weekend, my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary (we go by our first date) with a quick weekend getaway to Santa Barbara.

It's always fun to get out of the city for a few days and while Santa Barbara is only a couple hours away, it definitely felt like we were on vacation. The gorgeous drive up the coast, walking through the cute shops on State Street (I found adorable cupcake papers at Sur la Table), delicious meals out, and a canopied king bed in a beautiful hotel suite to come home to (we stayed at The Canary Hotel). We enjoyed a Sunday brunch in the hotel with live jazz music. I ordered lemon ricotta pancakes and he the eggs benedict - both delicious!

{crisp white linens. hotel beds are my favorite!!}

{I loved the star lanterns in the bathroom, although you can't really see them in this picture}

The decor of the hotel was done in classic Santa Barbara style: white walls with arched openings, Mediterranean red tiling, blue ceramics, and colored accents. I love that breezy California style and actually decorated our house in a similar aesthetic.

Decor aside, what was truly best about this weekend was just being together, the memories made, the good laughs..

And now... back to Monday!
