An amazing view of Los Angeles from one of my current projects on Mulholland Drive. Pics coming soon…



I don’t have to tell you (or your husbands) how much a pair of fine European heels run these days. So when I have any issues with the Louboutins, or anything else for that matter…I only trust Sam. In addition to my heels, I can’t count how many times he has brought Steven’s ratty motorcylce boots back to life. Sam’s provincial-style shoe shop on Sweetzer Avenue and Beverly Boulevard is one of Los Angeles’ true gems. His warm smile is to die for, so be nice to him and don’t ask him to rush something for you unless it’s an emergency.

In a strange way I view the paparazzi in Los Angeles to be a constantly moving, modern art installation (here they are in front of our Melrose Avenue showroom...literally camped out for over six hours on this Saturday). Their flash bulbs are like flare guns - wherever they congregate, both tourists and locals alike are guaranteed to stop and stare. They are to Los Angeles what the Colliseum is to Rome and what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. Hate them or need them, they have become a part of our culture.
