Given the nasty winter weather that’s been happening in New York, this news is totally appropriate; my Gwenie Gwen Gwen is set to collaborate with Burton, coming this September! According to WWD, the line includes parkas trimmed with the Gwen’s signature Rasta stripes or houndstooth patterns, as well as punky details like oversize zippers and military quilting…which sounds like pretty much the only thing that would motivate me to move back to the cold weather. Wholesale prices will range from $20 for an acrylic beanie to $180 for a down jacket. “We worked really hard on the pants. You don’t think of snowboarding pants as being superflattering by nature so we tried to mix masculine and feminine, which we always do, and give them a really cute fit, then added a tuxedo stripe for that edge,” said Stefani. Sign me up.

This Week’s Online Shopping Haul
For me, this week has been just a little bit crazy. I never considered myself a “stress shopper” but alas, I think I might just be that since last night happened. I decided that I was going to buy myself four things that I’ve been coveting but haven’t had the, for lack of a better word, balls to actually buy myself. You know what? I deserve it. And I can’t wait for everything to arrive…god bless online shopping.
Jessica Elliot Double Floating Finger Candy Ring: My friend Chelsea had a similar ring that she scored from Forever21; however, they’re totally sold out so of course, I am forced to buy the version that costs $175. C’est la vie.
Weekend trip to Las Vegas(!): My good friend Maura was assigned a spa story that just so happens to be located in Vegaaaaas (she’s a very fancy Lucky magazine senior editor) so she asked me if I wanted to come out a few days early to hang with her. Actually, her exact email said “don’t you LA people go to Vegas like every weekend?” Yes Maura, we most certainly want to. And this time, we WILL. I bought a Delta flight going to Vegas and a Spirit (?) airlines ticket for the way back to LA. The “?” after Spirit indicates my desire to not crash and die since I’ve never heard of this airline.
Kiehl’s Rosa Arctica: I blogged about this a-pause-mazing moisturizer back in March after receiving a few mini samples of the product and absolutely loving it. My skin is like the sahara 90% of the time and this is the first moisturizer in a looong time to actually do the trick, which is exactly why I don’t mind spending my actual hard-earned money on this product. And note, I hardly ever actually buy my own beauty products so that should say a LOT.
T by Alexander Wang One Shoulder Dress: I bought this dress in the “sage” green color about two weeks ago after trying the dress on at Fred Segal. I wore the sage version to Soho House the other night and loved it so much that I decided I needed the black version as well. A woman can never have too many LBD’s, you know?
