L.A.M.B. offers ridiculously amazing couture handbags and shoes for the cool and couture-loving fashion lover. But always affordable for the common chick? Well...unless you come across a fab shoe or purse on sale at say, Nordstrom Rack,...not really. So, I'm pretty excited about the gx by Gwen Stefani collaboration with Shoedazzle. (I love the name "gx" too - Gwen's signature tweet sign-off!). The line launched last month, giving Shoedazzle members more styles to explore and incorporate in their own wardrobes. All items under $110! The collection includes: edgy-chic strappy sandals, fancy wedges, and (not your mama's!) dramatic pumps. The graphic palette includes a bold mix of black, white, red, and cobalt. Dig!

Recently, Gwen shared thoughts about her new collection with Eonline.com: "I created gx with the goal of making amazing shoes and bags at really great prices. Gx is super luxurious and stylish but still affordable." 

With the über-talented Rachel Zoe as the new chief stylist alongside "Kim K," Shoedazzle is becoming quite the go-to site for fun looks. And, I mean, of course No Doubt's frontwoman and fashion designer would be an amazing person to collab with. What team wouldn't want Gwen breathing her cool vibe of creativity into an exclusive collection?!

South American Grassroots Brand 'Sundried' Adds to My Casual SoCal Style!

(Bring it on sun! I've been waiting for you!)

The chilly air, snow, rain, and all that wintertime...STUFF...doesn't really excite me. Totally -- there are many ways to incorporate your summer clothing into your winter wardrobe while embracing gorgeous boots, coats, and hats. But naturally, being a SoCal native and an LA resident, I feel at home in flip-flops, leggings, jeans, tees, tanks, and spaghetti-strapped maxi dresses. They all make me happy under the sun!

(My custom-made Sundried tee is totally #unique!)

So my recent connection with the awesome folks at Sundried, a South American grassroots brand, developed at the perfect time. With summertime inching its way back into my life (making the sound of the waves and the sand between my toes more of an upcoming reality versus a fantasy) I was delighted to receive a custom-made Sundried tee. Here are some fun facts about this eco-conscious and community-driven company:

- Sundried products are handmade and hand-screened!

- Sundried was founded in Peru. It was inspired by a memorable observation of a lone surfer who emerged fresh out of the water after an epic surf, who stood and waited for the sun to rise and for its natural warmth to dry his tired body. (Hence, SUN DRIED.)

- Deeply passionate about charity work, Sundried sponsors Surfers Against Sewage, an environment charity protecting UK waves, oceans and beaches. 

- Sundried has evolved to provide products for the beach, the bar, the street, the swell (ocean), and the skatepark.

- Sundried is loved by active people, from triathletes to surfers throughout Peru, the UK, New Zealand, and the US!
