In Love with Love Quotes. Quote Me.

I am a huge fan of scarves. I wear them all winter long, every morning, because I absolutely hate being cold. I look like a little darling, walking into work in my beautiful peacoats, an elegant scarf tucked in just so, my long locks shaped into curls and cascading over my shoulders. I wear gloves so that my hands stay looking fab even in the cold winter months, and I have no problem layering under my jackets.

And I live in Arizona.

Pathetic, I know.

For someone who doesn't mind dressing like she's about to go skating at Rockefeller Center, even when the temperature is seldom below 40 degrees, scarves are a must-have staple that are organized painstakingly in one of my dresser drawers, according to color, texture, and style.

So it's no wonder I love Lauren's look in this photo; she of course is sporting a scarf by Love Quotes, which is the brand most celebs have been buying these days. They remind me of running through airports, waiting for flights and acting as though the paparrazzos are actually interested in where I'm going.

Yes, I wanted to be a Hollywood starlet, my ENTIRE life.

Dare to dream, LC, dare to dream.

For the rest of us civilians...pick up Love Quotes scarves at specialty boutiques, like Intuition (shopintuition.com) or Harmony Lane Boutique (shopharmonylane.com.)

Step Up in Style

As if marrying Channing Tatum wasn't enough of a reason for every woman in America to envy her, Jenna Dewan apparently went on a Honeymoon shopping spree at the celeb-popular hotspot Intuition, and purchased this very cute ArynK Halter Dress. It's pleated, halter-style & is a flattering fit right above the knee. You can buy your very own at www.shopintuition.com.

Now if only we could buy our very own Channing Tatum online.

Girls, don't get any ideas. Looking for guys on Craig's List is just desperate.

Boy Meets Girl, Girl Shops too Much...

This is going to be a super short blog entry, just to preface with a warning, but I had to make an LC Public Service Announcement to say that I am loving the line Boy Meets Girl, and although they've already been on the block for a while now, I think they have a uniqueness and, they're one of those lines that, for people who follow fashion trends and lines, can be immediately spotted by the trained eye, which, for me, is always incentive to purchase a new brand or label.

This hoodie, from Intuition, can be ordered with your names above the "boy" and "girl" and I've read on all the blogs lately that Melissa Rycroft of Bachelor fame was wearing one all through the season. Since I don't believe in the idea of throwing yourself onto national television to find a man, I only saw the final episode, and she was wearing a ball gown by a swimming pool (always a genius idea, I put that on MY to-do list everytime I'm going swimming.) But I digress. Should you want to purchase one for yourself, go to www.shopintuition.com.

I love these hoodies so much, they almost make me wanna run out and find a man so we can have our names on my hoodie. Then again, I think ordering the hoodie is far less hassle, so if you've got a love in your life, order yours today, and for those of you single & looking ladies, check out the rest of the line that doesn't entail your boyfriend's name.

In Perfect Harmony

Initially, I'll admit, I wasn't the biggest fan of online shopping. Browsing through boutiques and spending lots of quality time at Nordstrom and Neimans and Target (yes, I am a Target lover) is another way of burning calories for me. Shopping is my cardio. Not to mention, it's therapeutic. But, give me a deal, show me a coupon I can use, and I'm so there.

Since I started online shopping, I have grown to love receiving packages in the mail. (It helps that our UPS guy is easy on the eyes.) Everytime I can rip open a new delivery, it feels like Christmas morning, in the middle of July. On top of that sheer bliss, I've also discovered plenty of super cool websites where you can not only buy the latest & greatest, but look at photos of celebs who've probably been styled by a professional, & that helps give some inspiration, too, when putting together different looks for yourself.

From time to time, I'll feature a boutique that also has an online store, so if you are not close to LA or planning a trip out there soon, you can still shop there, from the comfort of your couch (or bed, or office, or strip club dressing room, wherever it is that you people work a 9-5.)

Check out www.shopharmonylane.com to get all the latest from designers who have major celebrity following. They carry everyone from Plenty by Tracey Reese, comfy staples from C&C California (love that label!) and great jeans from lines like Antik Denim, Genetic Denim, Earnest Sewn and William Rast.

And try to neglect the fact that Paris Hilton shops here. I mean, you can't hold that against Harmony Lane, even young women who dress like cheap pole dancing trash need a place to shop, too.

Have fun shopping, lovers! ;)
