I recently upgraded to the iPhone 5 which, by the way, I’m absolutely obsessed with. And once I settled into my new phone, I was faced with the epic white girl problem of which iPhone case to purchase. Whoa is me, right? Well, here are my favorite cases for the new iPhone 5. Enjoy.
1. J.Crew
2. Kate Spade
3. Dannijo
4. Pantone
5. Agent 18
6. Charlotte Russe
7. Marc by Marc Jacobs
8. Etsy
If there’s one thing I know about, it’s a snake. And guys, 2013…it’s the YEAR of the snake or, the black snake, to be exact. I’ve always been curius about astrology and, in all honesty, I think it definitely does have some merrit…but, you know, you can’t take it too seriously (like anything in life, really) and I’m constantly annoyed by all of the hippie dippies out here in LA when they say “what’s your sign?” after I say “hi, I’m Jamie.” I digress.
1. Zara Snake Print Neckerchief: I like a good neckerchief…who doesn’t? A good scarf can dress up any plain outfit and animal print is always on-trend.
2. Jennifer Fisher Brass Large Snake Cuff: I’m weirdly into snake jewelry, ask my friends, and this Jennifer Fisher cuff is pretty bad ass, I have to say.
3. Rachel Zoe “Laura” Snake Ballet Flats: It’s totally cliche but anything that’s Rachel Zoe-approved is A-OK by me. I love a good ballet flat. I love me some animal print. So…done deal.
4. Essie Magnetic Nail Polish in “Snake, Rattle & Roll”: Aside from having the coolest nail polish name EVER, this polish is actually pretty awesome. It lasts longer than most and gives nails a really unique texture.
5. Jacqui Aiche Extra Long Snake Ring: If you read this blog, you know I love a statement ring, which is why you shouldn’t be surprised at all that I love this extra long, gold, snake ring. DUH.
Coco Rocha is one of those effortlessly chic and amazingly NICE super models that you actually want to be friends with. I never thought I’d say that about a supermodel…or ANY model, for that matter, but after chatting with the Banana Republic Mad Men Collection (available starting TODAY!) spokesperson, I’m totally #TeamCoco.
Q: What’s your favorite piece in the Banana Republic Mad Men Collection?
A: (This dress here) It’s a bold statement…you want to be the person everyone’s looking at going ‘wow, where did you get that from?’
Q: What advice would you give yourself five years ago?
A: Five years ago…that’s not that long ago, but still far enough…I think about being a model and the jobs that I chose, I didn’t have a voice for myself…I think that I could’ve reassured myself that you know what, what you’re doing IS ok, you know what? Go for it.
Q: What are your top three favorite beauty products?
A: I’d have to say, it’s all makeup-related. I wear makeup every single day, even to the grocery store, so I’m not that model that doesn’t wear makeup. I’d have to say eyeliner, you can do a lot with it. Cover up, because I am very, VERY fair so my freckles come out (she loves L’OREAL Magic Smooth Soufflee) and a good contour cream.

Me, in the same dress Coco is wearing…yeah, GREAT decision. LOL.
I don’t report details on Fashion Week unless I’m like, REALLY impressed by something. And guys, I saw photos from Prada’s Fall 2013 show and I LOOOVE it. InStyle’s Fashion Director, Cindy Weber Cleary, gave us some scoop on the inspiration for the line.
“The models in Miuccia Prada’s sensual, spectacular fall collection looked intentionally disheveled,” says Weber Cleary. “With wet hair, off-kilter layers, and weekend-bag sized satchels, it was as if they stepped out of the shower and had to dress quickly before running out the door.”
And yet, so chic. Walk of shame much? I feel like I look like this (unintentionally) every.single.day of my life, so clearly, I can relate. The line features beautiful, rich-looking clothing on models that simply aren’t finished. Need some inspiration on how to create this look on your own? Check out this post HERE. Here are my favorite looks from the collection:
I’m definitely drawn to sharp details and sparkle, which is why I’m obsessing over these three dresses. Sure, Salma Hayek should’ve ditched the tiara (WTF) but other than that, the dress is fabulous.

Special shout out to Jessica Chastain for being able to pull off this amazing Armani Prive dress. Girl, that color isn’t easy to rock for us pale girls. She looked amazing.
I can’t even tell you how excited I am for this news…my amazing friend Shauna is launching her PennyChic by Shauna Miller LBD (little black dress) collection TODAY on WalMart.com! (UPDATE: THE LAUNCH HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO FEBRUARY 19TH)! I mean, dress designer? Blogger? Upcoming author? What can’t this girl do?! You might also remember seeing me as her blogger model, which was soooo much fun.
The best part is that each dress is only $20. Yes, you read that right…TWENTY dollars. For a LBD. I need The Peplum, that’s obvious, but I’m also eyeballing The Classic…it’s so Audrey Hepburn that I can’t even handle it. And, as a fun little surprise, she let her readers vote on a fifth dress…The Utility (below). Make sure you order your favorite(s) TODAY on WalMart.com before they sell out! All of the dresses are made in the U.S.A. (and outside of Walmart production), and are available in sizes XS to XL, as well as sizes 16-22.
UPDATE!!! Here’s how to get the dresses:
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.
