Benjamin Bratt Mayhem!

I was lucky enough to be backstage and take a private photo with Benjamin Bratt this evening at the Hazard Center theatre where the SD Latin Film Festival is held. I also had the pleasure of observing what a humble man he is. After being offered tequila in the green room (which he declined) he took pictures with my friends, VIP coordinator for the festival Samya Barud and jewelry designer April Star Davis. The woman escorting him through the theatre then asked if he’d like to leave through the back door undetected and he said, “No let’s go through the lobby.” As soon as he stepped out into the crowd everyone went mad! I had to shoot a short video just so you could understand the excitement! 

Mr. Benjamin Bratt!

Knowing the right people in this town can get you just about anything, even a private meet and greet, be it for a moment with movie star Benjamin Bratt. Here us the photo of is backstage at Hazard Center movie theater. He was incredibly kind and very obliging, not to mention handsome!

Ben was at the theatre doing a question and answer session after the screening of his film Cine Gay for the San Diego Latino Film Festival.

CHOO 24:7 The MUST HAVE Shoe Line For Spring

While strolling through Fashion Valley I noticed the Jimmy Choo store window was covered with a huge promo poster for the brand’s newest line, CHOO 24:7. Then when I got home and checked my email the banner running alongside my Yahoo! account was a not so subtle reminder that I NEEDED to check out the brand’s newest marketing endeavor.

 

I must admit, after watching this video and better understanding the concept, I love it! The shoes are all timelessly classic but still sassy and young. The line is available at Saks Fifth Avenue and Jimmy Choo at Fashion Valley and also at Nordstrom stores throughout San Diego County.

 

 

Shop Bloomies Fashion Valley and Support Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now

  

Singer Mary J. Blige has teamed up with French designer Catherine Malendrino to create off the shoulder, hand painted tunics with inspirational messages aimed to empower.

The t-shirts inspired by Blige’s lyrics read, “I’m power” and “I’m love” and support the singer’s charity Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now through the donation of a percentage of T-shirt sales.

 

Keep up with the Kardashian's at Bebe

 

It seems we just can’t escape these three media hungry sisters. Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe have the #1 show on E!, are pasted all over the covers of every lifestyle and gossip magazine, and are now excited to announce the launch of their line Kardashians for Bebe available tomorrow Wednesday February 10^th at Bebe stores throughout San Diego County and online.

Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion as Dictated by the Grammys

  
 

After watching the Grammys last Sunday I still can’t stop thinking about all of the designer gowns and how they set precedent for the ready to wear styles of spring and summer 2010. So many of these styles appeal to San Diego in that we are already experiencing gorgeous weather in early February and can take advantage of spring and summer trends much earlier into the season.

Here are the main trends I spotted that I KNOW will make their way into all of our wardrobes this season…

This last sunday Gisele Bundchen had her first post baby photoshoot only seven weeks after the birth of her son Benjamin. She made her comeback for the Brazilian brand Colcci shooting in Boston and she did a great job!

The Scottish band Franz Ferdinand and the gorgeous Marion Cotillard have teamed up to record the song for the newest video to accompany the Lady Dior Chapter: Lady Rouge. It's called "Eyes of Mars" and it's a proof that she's also talented as a singer. This song is her third musical experience after La vie en Rose and her role in the musical Nine.

 

We all love Liv Tyler and that's why the dutch brand G-Star has chosen her to expand its presence in the United States. She will be the muse of the jean brand until Fall 2010 and that's good news because the photos from the ad campaign are a success.

She is great on the runways, from Gaultier to Lacroix, and now she's also wonderful on the new movie :The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. It's not her first movie but it's the most famous though. It's a real success for her because she loves to be an actress. Her career has a good strating up!

That is a strange duo! P. Diddy with Natalia Vodianova. A severe rapper with a wonderful and gentle model! It's not as bad as we can imagine just really surprising. Especially when the campaign is for the american Vogue!

When the It's on with Alexa Chung show was cancelled, we thought her career would be dead. Finally, it was a big jump for Alexa Chung. She was recently named as the new face of Pepe Jeans and now she's signed on to design a collection for the Madewell brand. We take one's hat off to her!

The George Clooney's last girlfriend is the new muse of Roberto Cavalli's lingerie. Elisabetta Canalis is wearing sexy leopard underwear. Even if the campaign is a success we hate her because she's the girlfriend of our wonderful George!

Burberry has a soft spot for the Watson family! After Emma it's Alex, her own brother, who has top billing. A recent source confided that Alex could participate to the AW10 Runway in London. It's a family success!

The "Brangelina" generosity continues. Their foundation offered $1 million for the Haiti island disaster. The donation is for the Doctors without Borders who were severely damaged by the earthquake. It's a beautiful act.

Sarah Jessica Parker is one of the most stylish woman of her generation. So, that's not surprising if she could be the design director or creative director of Halston. For the moment, it's just a rumor but we really think it's a perfect job for her!
