February’s Valentine’s Day must-haves

Love is in the air…


10 – a hot red nail - I’m not one who dresses for the holidays. Christmas sweaters aren’t my thing… but this time of year I do love a shocking red nail when others are rocking winter darks. Chanel’s new LE VERNIS “Dragon” 475 is perfection. Not too blue, not too orange – it’s all you need for a romantic red. Try it, and let your fingers do the talking… and walking.

9 – hanky panky bralettes - I live and die by Hanky Panky. From their thongs (see #5), and camis (#6 in my LiveLoveShop LA must-haves), to their bandeaus that are not to be missed. I need padding, so I wear mine over my Victoria Secret Very Sexy Push-Up bras, but they also work solo. They’re great for a low neck-line, a see-through top, or when you just want to add a touch of lace. I suggest starting with basic black, white, or cream and work up to adding brights and patterns.

8 – rose gold statement watch – It’s no secret that I love big watches. And while I’m a big fan of Michael Kors Oversized Rose Gold Watch as an alternative to celebrity-fav rose gold Rolexes, Nixon’s ’42-20′ Chronograph Watch has recently caught my eye. It’s heavy, showing great quality. So as everyone adopts the trend of big men’s-style gold watches, make your statement with ROSE.

7 – red or pink cashmere travel set - I travel a lot, and I don’t leave home without a cashmere blanket (that can double as a scarf). It makes those red-eyes a little less brutal… so keeping the romance alive, instead of gray or taupe, try hot pink or red to brighten your spirits for landing.

6 – blushing blouse - a soft pink top is sexy. It’s subtle, soft and sultry… Pair a silk blush blouse with dark (or white) skinny jeans, tucked into a skirt, or belted over leggings and you are DATE READY.

5 – hanky panky thongs - Marily Monrow once said “I don’t know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot.” This is how I feel about the inventor of hanky panky. I live in their low rise thongs, aside from the Victoria Secret Cotton Lingerie Thongs I work out in, they’re ALL I wear. There are so many colors and styles, everyday is a new thrill for you and yours… the lace fits like second skin, showing no lines – and if you can believe it they’re one size fits all! They also make a higher “original rise”, plus size, and for girls coveting full coverage there are countless options.

4 – a silk bathrobe - I believe pajamas should be comfortable. Whether you go for silk, skimpy or full on sweats, you can sex them up with your robe. To the knee or below are the sexiest, leaving more to the imagination and actually providing some warmth when you put it on… or take it off!

3 – a lace cami - worn on it’s own after hours, or high pro under a top or blazer; add some lace to your silk cami. This one detail gives the right amount of va-va-va-vooom while keeping it classy.

2 – a lavender scarf - I love purple, it was my favorite color as a kid. And lavender is my new gray. I can’t get enough… Adam Glass (Oprah’s Style guru) picked Fluxus’s Nomad Scarf as one of his must-haves for 2011 and I’m totally on board. It doubles as a blanket, and has enough material to be worn in many ways. My favorite hue is “captive” but charcoal and black are great go-tos.

1 – hot kicks - Valentine’s Day candy hits shelves right after Halloween, chocolate is everywhere! Get ready to walk off those extra calories in romantic-STYLE with New Balance’s new WT101. I loooove pink again black, gray and brown. These runners are a 10. Nothing but net. Let’s kick it.


“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep

because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

- Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss



Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!

Elle Macpherson takes her kids to school: London-style. Paparazzi have profiled her impeccable daily school-run style for years, it’s worth noting. Elle isn’t saving her best clothes (leather, furs) like they’re fine china. She’s wearing her party pants!! Everyday. And wow – it’s nothing but 10′s.

Elle’s black skinny stretch leather jeggings are the perfect accent to her comfy belted charcoal gray sweater-shawl and ballerinas. Whereas the rest of us would have quickly opted for a pair of black cotton leggings – Elle reminds us to mix things up, and wear what may (or may not yet…) be in our closets. Even if it’s something you might consider a night piece. And better yet, this look really helps justify purchasing investment leather pants, by upping the potential-wear factor infinitely.

Thank you ELLE; our-Belle.
