Spring is just around the corner and lots of goodies are coming in…among them is this new collection by a fabulous Canadian designer.

Allow me to introduce you to 442 McAdam… a line of luxury bags created by the talented Sarah Shell.The line  features a beautiful selection of handbags,clutches, travel bags, and unisex messenger bags made of  genuine cowhide leather and brass hardware.  The detailing and design are absolute perfection.

Colors and textures are rich, infusing these bohemian silhouettes with luxury and elegance. The bags are made to withstand wear and weight – durability is guaranteed. The inner portion is complete with organization pockets, magnetic closures, and an attached keychain clasp.

- 442 McAdam

As for the outfit, I was thinking a casual Starbucks run. Comfortable and yet undeniably stylish. I paired a beautiful windbreaker meets uptown zip up bomber (La Fée Maraboutée  Paris  jacket, $207) with a pair of simple black skinnies (Black Orchid Skinny Jeans, $153)  and of course a simple tee.  A Parisian touch never hurts anyone and this jacket definitely does the trick with its understated simplicity and delicate charm! To take a step farther a perfect little rosette headband (Tai Rosette Headband, $ 69) and you’re ready for your coffee break looking and of course feeling fabulous!

Tip:  Always wear a headband when having a bad hair day. Not only will it solve the problem but make you look prim and proper. Your dilemma will be solved and you will look effortless and chic (and itsn’t that the look we are all going for?!)

Look forward to more goodies from 442 McAdam as well as more outfits in the up-and-coming posts….Also, be sure to check back next week!!! After all, it is Valentines Day and  I have few ideas up my sleeve. See you in a bit!

Until the next post…toodles!

Inspired by  the mid-century art movement and Los Angeles inner-city culture, FLuXuS breaks away from  tradition and encourages  the advancement of self-expression through fashion. It was  embodied art in every garment  created since 2007, incorporating  simple but tactile materials such as jersey cotton, tri-blend and the signature hand off the burnout  in avant-garde shapes and cuts.

Sometimes finding the ideal basic to go along with your perfect jeans can be just as tricky of a mission as finding the idea pair. However, if you always want to find  something that will look just as amazing as your favorite denim, FluXuS always offers comfortable basics to stock up on. Be sure to check out their latest Spring 2010 collection at Liv by Au Lit!!!

It’s not only about the clothes… it’s also about the way you wear them! Accidents happen to all of us, but there are so many ways to prevent or make the best of them. This is my solution: Hollywood Fashion products (available at Liv by Au Lit)!!! These products are simple but totally genius. It would be a sin for women not to know about this line! In case you don’t, it is my prilivige to introduce you to it! Say hello to:

With countless products to chose from (and for every possible occasion), I’ve decided to share with you my five mush-haves!

1. Hollywood Fashion Tape

This little tape keeps everything in place. Nice and Neat.

2. Hollywood Sweater Saver

I am a cashmere lover and this baby saves my cashmere from the fiber balls. Keeps it looks new.

3. Hollywood Cover Ups

Better be safe then sorry when it comes to the “nip-showing” situation.

4. Hollywood Touch Ups

No need for a large lint roller, these petite sheets fit in the tiniest of clutches.

5. Hollywood Oil Blotting Sheets

Shine-free complexion is key.

Knowing that you’re ready for any fashion-emergency is a very comforting thought!

Until the next post…toodles!!!

With spring just a few months away, there’s a lot to look forward to…including the latest arrivals at LIV!!! We’re excited to announce our newest collection…CLU, haute-couture for the t-shirt.

Founded in 2004 by  Seung Lee and Jin Lee, Clu is inspired by the easy-going and laid-back lifestyle of West coast.The duo have gone beyond creating a simple and understated clothing line…they create haute-couture for the t-shirt. Originating with (and perfecting) the simple t-shirt, the line has evolved into everyday basics with a mix of soft fabrics and innovative cuts. Clu is derived from the french word clou which means nail; a simple and graphic object, which is a concept symbolic of the line itself.

Clu has found its roots in high end boutiques in Los Angeles such as Liza Kline and Fred Segal, making the trendy and chic tee a must-have for celebrities and fashion insiders.
