ADR Pearl of Wisdom #1





Q: Do you have a boyfriend? 


A: Yes, but he doesn’t live with me. There is no space because of the clothes.


"We Would Be Sexy In That City..." Episode 1: Istanbul

Since this is Sex and the CITIES we are going to be dedicating some time to the places that we need to go to together...

aka places we need to take pictures in front of, and test the shopping/night life.

Destination 1: ISTANBUL

Lets be honest... the princesses NEED to stay at this palace:
Ciragan Palace - Kempinski - Istanbul
Ciragan Palace - Kempinski - Istanbul

ORR maybe here at this underwater hotel.... 

And see these sights:
And lunch here:
Les Ottomans

Wanna take us there?

"Once Upon A Time..." Episode 1: DVF



"Now is the time to become a myth" -Diane Von Furstenberg 

Not to live in the past or anything, but when you had a year like we had last year it is kind of hard not to... 


Because this blog is about our friendship and right now we are star-crossed lovers, we are going to have to do a little bit of reminiscing from time to time about the amazing things that happen to us when we are all together..... enter the "Once Upon A Time..." posts. 

EPISODE 1: MEETING A WARHOL

Serendipity: not just a delicious 5,000 calorie dessert in Manhattan, but a way of life if you are me or my bff Veronica. 
This past December, Veronica and I were on Melrose doing some Christmas shopping when we decided to go into DVF to get a book for our girl Ella...

We are just casually browsing, the only people in the store, when who walks in and says "has anyone seen my cell phone?"

A Warhol. An Icon. A legend.


DVF in the flesh.


Pretty sure Veronica and I thought that maybe we just died and had somehow landed in Heaven... which obviously would look like a DVF store....

After pinching myself, I mustered up a casual "Hi", like oh hey BFF Diane.

She was unbelievably friendly and amazing... "Hi girls! How are you?"

And then we became best friends and discussed things like Christmas shopping, Aspen, and other  things that bffs talk about.

Obviously I asked for a picture so people could actually believe that this transcendental experience was real... and so that I myself could believe it...

Even though she wasn't wearing make-up, she was awesome and said yes (like a real princess... which she happens to be btw)


BEST PART, I may have creeped on her Iphone and seen that she was e-mailing ALEXANDER WANG.... while I was wearing Alexander Wang (above).... FATE? I RZ Die.

She then signed books for us (and Ella, obvi), and wished us happy holidays. 

It was the best 10 minutes of my life.....at least since fashion week...... or meeting John Mayer.... but more on all of that in our next "Once Upon A Time..."

"I'm a work of art, I'm a Warhol already"- Jay-Z


To me, the most inspiring people to watch are those who don't limit themselves to one avenue of creativity... i.e.  Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld, Sofia Coppola...

One of our favorite fashion icons, the lovely Diane Von Furstenberg, is using her penchant for design to decorate a number of hotel rooms at the iconic Claridge's hotel in London.


There is something about being in a posh hotel that is truly magical, and I am sure that if anyone can add to that magic it is our BFF DVF.

Wonder if she will use her own Warhols in the rooms?


Diane, make sure not to forget your best friends, Morgan and Veronica... we could use a royal holiday.

Giles


Dear Giles Deacon,

I think I love you.

I like golds. I like chocolate browns. I really like crowns, which were used intermittently on your runway.

And I ADORE
Lily

Alessandra

Izabel

Ana Beatriz.

& Rosie (but only because she's Flaca's doppelganger).


And while, to be honest, I only wanted to wear one thing from your Fall 2010 RTW collection (Ana Beatriz's), you still managed to win my heart by putting all my true loves on the same runway at something other than a VS show. And you even managed to give Karolina work... Well done.

Jersey Shore + Fashion?


Jersey Shore + Fashion?

That's harper's.

And although princesses often use the word "Harper's" in place of bizarre (...get it?),
especially after Veronica's internship at the fashion mag, this time I'm not being facetious.

Harper's Bazaar truly will have the guidettes making an appearance.



And while at first glance that still seems harper's, the lovelies at Fashionista made a valid
point before trashing their inclusion into the world of high fashion.

"The Jersey Shore gang embraces its guido-dom... these people aren’t trying to be anything but themselves.
And that makes them, in their own way, truly fashionable."

This resonated and reminded me of one of my favorite quotes, which happens to be by
Veronica's new boss, the Anna Wintour:

“Create you own individual style. I’m not interested in the girl who walks into my

office in a head to toe label straight off the runway. I’m interested in a

girl who puts herself together in an original independent way.”

And while, yes, J-Woww would most likely not quite fit in at the Vogue
office, there is definitely something to be said for having your own unique
style and unwaivering confidence behind it.

ps best royal wishes go out to Veronica tomorrow, who most definitely will
be fitting in at the Vogue office for her first day in the events department
tomorrow, no matter which ensemble she picks out.

Elle Woods

(me bored in family law, flaca in milan)

wishes she had a bff like Flaca to ichat her whilst bored at law school.

hi!


xoxo. mrl.




just kidding princesses. i owe the blog more than that. especially considering i'm in the most boring/least stylish city of the four of us (sorry san diego, you know it's true. attending the san diego style exhibit in balboa park with morgan and chantal verified that).

so, since i'm in the least glam city, that means i have to do much more research searching for style inspiration, which you pretties will reap the benefits of (aka the fruits of my labor spending hours on who what wear, polyvore and net-a-porter).

i've also always lived by the theory that my style/life icon and reason for living once said herself.

"people collect art. people collect stamps. i collect clothes."



- rachel zoe



rz speaks the truth. more to come.
