November 8, 2011

 

Curio1 Curio2

Urban glamour for the mini fashionista in your life.

Introducing curio+kind.

Feather skirts, sequin dresses, faux fur coats, avant-garde graphic slub tees.

(Wonder if I can wiggle my way into the largest size?)

It's not just cuz I happen to be lucky enough to be a guest artist for curio & kind. (see: the ballerina and mask tee below!) that has me head over gaga for this debut line.

It is tooo-die for (see for yourself) and already flying off the shelves of stores like Fred Segal, Lost and Found, and Eggy — some of my favorite LA kids stores.

Natasha Barrett and Anita Pocsik, the best-friends/creative force behind the line say it best: “Recognizing both the sweet and mischievous side of every child, curio+kind is a collection inspired by history, art, nature and love. These themes are balanced with adult styling and ultimate comfort, leaving the kids happy and Mom a little jealous.

Working with a diverse range of guest artists and designers, curio+kind celebrates individuality, sophistication, humor and comfort.

The curio+kind collection features a complete range of outfits for children aged 2-14. Suitable for parties or the playground, signature pieces include supima cotton slub t-shirts with original graphics, cozy outer-wear and knitwear, easy jersey dresses, specialty sequin, feather, and silk silhouettes, swimwear, jewelry and hair accessories.

curio+kind will be available this week at Fred Segal, Eggy, Lost and Found, Wonderland, select Nordstrom and boutiques across the country.

RUN!!

Alexandra Wagner :: Amazing facials on Abbot Kinney

November 7, 2011

Ali_pic3

Walking into Alexandra’s immaculate, minimal, zen white studio immediately made me feel dirty. Her small and perfect studio is so fresh, airy and light filled, I got depressed thinking about how messy my home is. (uh, for some reason.) I couldn’t wait to get on Alexandra’s table so she could scrub and bring light to my face with equal aplomb. Alexandra creates wonderful custom, intuitive facials. She also happens to be an aesthetician after my own heart — she’s an extraction junkie. Before perfecting the art of skin, she was perfecting the art of…art. Alexandra is a painter and her perfectly balanced paintings are a direct reflection of an inner-drive for clarity and balance. This desire for extracting nature’s inner beauty and bringing it to surface is evident in her practice.

Alexandra offers several custom facials. ( fyi : if performed by Alexandra the price may vary slightly ) I experienced the Signature Facial Plus and I left with fabulously clean and radiant skin.

AND WAIT, GROOMED LA READERS WILL GET 20% OFF THEIR FIRST TREATMENT! SO GO FOR THE GUSTO AND GET A GOOD ONE!
