Andrea M. Favorite Brand: Bettie Page


"Women should have some mystery about them. To be sexy and attractive, but modest and elegant—all at the same time." Tatyana Khomyakova  is the master mind behind Bettie Page Clothing. 

I simply love her classic designs.

Laura M. Favorite Designer: Rachael Zoe, MAJOR.


Stylist-turned-designer Rachael Zoe is "MAJ"....  Her personality and 'one-liners' are as famous as the celebrities she styles.


 "BA-nana's."

" I DIE."


She recently debuted her namesake designer collection the runway this Spring at NY Fashion Week.
Her clothes are sleek and stylist...an extension of her persona and taste.



She also has a more affordable line, named LUXE Rachael Zoe. It is exclusively availiable at QVC.com. The pieces are versatile and high quality. Order a size down, as her jackets and tops tend to run large. Here are my top 6 choices from the LUXE line...my favorite is the mandarin collar military jacket..!

Joanak. Favorite Brand: Juicy Couture


Second on my list of favorite PINK designers is Juicy Couture. 
 It is best described through their website:

Juicy Couture embraces the bright and glamorous fun of its Los Angeles heritage by discovering the couture in the everyday, and delivering an element of surprise in all its designs—
Started by two fashion-obsessed friends (Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor) in 1997, Juicy Couture quickly achieved global recognition and garnered millions of fans, many with famous faces.

In 2003, Liz Claiborne Inc. acquired the company, and in 2010, the global phenomenon offers an assortment that spans fashion apparel for women, girls and baby, handbags, shoes, intimates, swimwear, fragrance, accessories, jewelry, sunglasses and small goods.

Pamela and Gela (pictured below) have recently started a new line of their own called "Skaist Taylor" Premiering their “California Eccentrics” line in NY fashion week earlier this year. (for more on this visit www.skaisttaylor.com )

I discovered Juicy Couture in the funniest way.
I actually didn’t know about the brand until I saw a couple of girls walking through the hallways of my high school. They rocked these pink velour jogging suits with the word “JUICY” spelled across their butt’s. 


Today Juicy is way more than just jogging suits. I think they are definitely my top pick for casual and cute everyday wear. Here are my top favorite “New Arrivals” on www.JuicyCouture.com today:

Joana K. favorite Designer: Betsey Johnson

Since I had technical Issues yesterday and could not post I decided to double the blogging fun today.
The rest of this month will be dedicated to our own favorite (and most inspirational) designers. Hope you all enjoy! ;-)

As everyone knows I’m in love with all things pink so I have to start by talking about the one and ONLY Betsey Johnson. I don’t know what girl in her right mind can hate her designs. She has something for everyone that loves to have fun with fashion.



I recently attended one of her fashion shows (as Media) at Gower Studios Fashion Weekend with The owner of www.Society805.com. (for more about this event visit www.joanakfashions.blogspot.com)

Betsey's designs can always be described as fun, flirty and spunky. If you’re looking for a cute party dress to rock for prom, a birthday, or a fun club night ; look no further than Betsey. She has such an amazing selection you won’t regret it.

The best part about being a Betsey Lover (like me) in Oxnard is that the outlets are only a few minutes away. I can drive there if I have a last minute party or just want a good deal on her dresses.
Here are my favorite looks that can be found on her website's "New Arrivals" section today. (www.BetseyJohnson.com)



Laura M. favorite Designer: Tory Burch

One of my favorite designers is Tory Burch.

She is as beautiful as her tunics...



Tory Burch is a highly sought-after designer specializing in a "Preppy-Boho" aesthetic. Her clothing line launched in 2004 and was sold out almost immediately. Wait lists are commonplace for her seasonal debuts.  Alongside her clothing line, she is a philanthropist. The Tory Burch Foundation was formed in 2008 to provide "economic opportunities to women and their families".

There are currently 26 boutiques worldwide, including 4 outlet stores -   INCLUDING CAMARILLO, CA.  I have been to her boutique in Las Vegas and their attention to detail is wonderful, every receipt is neatly folded and placed into a small envelope with the infamous Tory Burch logo. The decor is bright and vivid with dozens of mirrors. The quality is amazing.

Here are my Top 6 picks for the current Spring '13 you can shop for her awesome stuff at www.ToryBurch.com




...I am going nuts over the handbags this season, they are even more spectacular in person.  I hope you enjoy!
