Blueee for the Summa


Summer is approaching quickly. The exact date for this year is June 21 and the activities are limitless. Its time to get out of the house and start being productive. Here in Las Vegas, we like to call it “pool season.” The pool parties are infinite. Just to name a few of the bunch we have the infamous Rehab at Hard Rock Pool, Wet Republic at the MGM, Tao Beach at the Venetian, or the new DayDream Day Pool at M Resort just south of the Las Vegas strip. Along with “pool season”, we have many summer trends waiting to be seen inside those closets and out by the pool. Blue is the calming color and is what we're thinking this summer with lines from designer Paige Gamble to Tory Burch. Although, blue is the calming color, its great when pairing it with a high-energy pool party. Our selection begins with these cute, exotic skin clutches by Manhattan designer, Paige Gamble. In all shades of blue, there is the blue matte crocodile and white agate flower, the blue ostrich and rock crystal cluster, and the mist matte lizard and rock crystal flowers. All of these clutches are lined in with bone suede and credit card pockets with a magnetic closure, $1,900. There is also a teal green, very light and flowy dress from the Emanuel Ungaro's Spring 2009 collection. Bohemian Sea Bead Endless Hoop Earrings by Alex and Ani, made with earth-friendly, gold-plated recycled metal, $58. Blue flats by Marc by Marc Jacobs from the Spring 2009 collection. One Piece Swim Suit by Tory Burch, $195.

Zooey & Mary


Commonly known as the “Indie Queen”, Zooey Deschanel sure has proved to everyone that not only does she have a real up-beat sense of style, but with that also comes her success in the entertainment industry. Both of Zooey's parents were already in the industry from the very beginning, her mother is an actress and her father is a Hollywood Cinematographer. So, with that in mind, it really wasn't hard for Zooey to get her foot in the door. Though what is most recognizable about her is that she started acting in a lot of Independent Films, which received a lot of attention that automatically considered Zooey as a strong, independent self-motivated actress. Along with being an amazing actress, surely enough Zooey is very multi-talented. She also sings with M.Ward in the band, She & Him, a much more beautiful, old-fashioned way of performing with very little machine, and more hand. This shows more so how Zooey might be compared to the classic actresses of early Hollywood during the Golden Era. The best part about it is that Zooey doesn't even really try, it just so happens that she carries that natural eminence in her. Her very classy, yet elegant persona can be seen and reminded throughout beauties of back in the day such as Elizabeth Taylor, Louise Brooks, or Audrey Hepburn. She was also nominated for Best Actress in 2003 for the Independent Spirit Awards (aka the Anti-Oscars). Also in 2003, Zooey did her own singing in the film Elf with Will Ferrell. As of right now, Zooey is currently engaged to Ben Gibbard, singer from Death Cab for Cutie and Postal Service's musician. As MTV had put it, they might just be possibly the First Couple of Indie Rock. She also is continuing to record and write for She & Him and preparing for her upcoming role in the film 500 Days of Summer, which will be out in August of this Summer, so keep your heads up for that new release!

Likes: Jazz music.
Dislikes: Being compared to Katy Perry!

Handmade in New York, Mary Meyer Clothing is dedicated to an easy to wear as well as easy to pair with wardrobe. Mary Meyer, herself graduated from the California College of Arts with a degree in painting. While she studied heavily in printmaking, weaving, dying, welding and woodwork, she discovered her passion for clothing design. As heard amongst many of the most amazing clothing designers, Mary Meyer worked from her home in her living room making custom clothes for her friends and eventually developed her own clothing line in 2005 after receiving such positive feedback from everyone. Mary Meyer includes all sorts of unique cotton separates such as large, oversized one-size fits all, which is her most prominent signature looks. “The Biggie,” is a very comfortable, roomy, but sexy tee named after Mr. Smalls himself and has been a best seller for the past four consecutive seasons so far. Mary Meyer Clothing also is very easy to layer therefore if one of their fun, flow, sexy tees is bought in the spring, it may be worn and layered perfectly with some favorite tights in the winter! All season wear, now that’s exciting. With a lot of her ideas for her line she brings in folk and ethnic art on a much larger scale as far as printing on material. Mary Meyer also was the featured designer for the Pool Trade Show here in Las Vegas, which isn’t surprising considering all of her clothing is very fashionable, yet forward-thinking. A lot of the prints that are on her clothing were showcased of the original paintings at her booth at the Pool Trade Show. As the lady, puts it herself, “Really sexy in an unobvious way.” That’s the trick in which Mary creates with her line. You really need to try the garment on, walk around a little bit in it and check yourself out in the mirror. And if you feel good than you look good, and Mary Meyer Clothing holds that point very truly.

*My thoughts & prayers goes out to those who had relatives or friends on Air France Flight 447. The story is tragic. There were 2 Americans, a geologist & his wife on the plane who had just relocated to Rio de Janeiro after living in Houston, Texas. They were off to a little vacation in Paris, before going to Spain for a seminar. If you go on and read the diversity of people who were on this plane it is incredible. Read it here. All of them had so much ahead of them. This story is too tragic, that I need to follow it. So far they're not ruling out any possible causes, it could of been weather to even terrorism.

Corners of your home: The Selby

Corners of your home. That and much more is exactly what Todd Selby creates on theSelby{dot}com. Pictured above is one bit of Fashion Designer and Artist Natalie Woods' home in Sydney, Australia. Todd creates incredible visuals of interesting people and their homes and/or creative spaces. He also makes an awkward yet talented, but funny watercolor replicate of the person he photographs and asks them the most random questions. Random, but interesting. Much more interesting than the usual interviewees', “What do you do for a living? How old are you? What are your aspirations?” Todd gets more creative and clever by asking randoms such as, “What 4 things would you like to see more of inside interior magazines?” Natalie Woods response was, “Inside people's drawers, obsessive collections; unusual & upbeat, and people's houses that actually look attainable.” He goes on and asks more randoms, “What 8 kind of things do you collect? What is your favorite cartoon character & why?”...the list goes on. He sometimes even has the person draw their favorite _________. From dream beds to how you dressed in college. This exactly is what is fascinating about Todd Selby's project and photos. It can be of the most unusual corner of a home that excites the viewer. He photographs and makes videos of fashion designers, actors, musicians, models, stylists, artists and more anywhere from Brooklyn, Manhattan, Los Angeles, London, Mexico to Australia. The most recent people he has done has been Stylist Elisa Nalin, Chef Sebastian Gaudard, Designer Tim Soar and Model Helena Christensen. Another amazing thing about The Selby is that Tod makes it seem so (for lack of a better word...) “chill”. All these people that he photographs are one of us. They're all human, working and living in our same world, we just get to see part of their normality, their creative space in a much more detailed kind of way. The Selby also recently just came out with their own book published just this past April of 2009. It includes his most prominent watercolors and visuals of people he photographs, get yours here: http://store.theselby.com/ I don't know who hasn't been hungry for these type of photos. The guy has photographed everybody and anybody and their anythings, check out all of his amazing pictures on his personal website, toddselby.com
