Millions of Zig Zag Patterns Spotted Across the Country Today Have Caused A Dizziness Epidemic

The Culprit: Missoni for Target 

Although this might be a bit of an exageration, my experience at the West Hollywood Target yesterday morning makes me think maybe not. The line outside of Target was wrapped around the upper level twice by the time I arrived. As I waited in line, I heard a women complaining to one of the employees that she only needed to buy toliet paper and didn't understand why she had to wait in line. When I finally did get inside, it was complete madness. People were grabbing anything they could get their hand on, including reaching into other people's carts. One girl was practically in tears because she had turned away for a second and someone had taken her cart filled with good stuff. I felt bad for her, but, seriously, with the craziness that was all around me I wouldn't turn my head away from my cart for a second. Luckily, I was able to score a pair of flats, a girls cardigan in extra large (which fits me perfectly!) and a duvet cover set. Not bad considering I got there only five mintues before they opened the doors and was far back in line. Plus, I recruited my husband who aggressively searched out and found all the items I ended up buying. When I shared this with my friend at work, she said he's probably going to be good to have around during the apocalypse. Either that or the next designer collaboration. Same thing.

Boutique Shopping in WeHo

Last Saturday, the City of West Hollywood hosted it's 3rd Annual Structure & Style, a special tour of some of WeHo's trendsetting fashion boutiques including Alberta Ferretti, Church and Roseark.

Our first stop was Alberta Ferretti on Melrose Ave. The lightness and transparency of the store really complemented it's collection.  The mannequins and display mounts on the mirrored walls are all magnetic and come off easily, which allow the design of the store to change at a moments notice (pretty cool!).  I just couldn't get enough of a 70s style shaggy light green coat on display. Definitely my favorite in the store.

The Sexy Nerd Appeal

If you watched the last season of 90210 you know that Naomi Clark had the hots for a nerd with black frame glasses, so I guess there is something to be said for the appeal of a four-eyed nerd.  Just the other day a friend told me that she has avoided wearing glasses for years, but has recently found it impossible to ignore her blurry vision.  She also told me that she's needed glasses since she was a little girl, but refused to wear them so her eyes eventually self-corrected.  Hmmm, sounds like she just got used to the blurry vision.  Anyhoo, she's on the hunt for cute designer eyeglasses, since she can't get the hang of contacts.  It got me thinking that, although I usually wear contacts, I would love to have a pair of adorable glasses to wear as an alternative. Currently I have a pair of outdated, slightly lopsided Calvin Klein glasses that I would never be caught dead in outside of my house. Therefore, I've tracked down a few favorite styles with the perfect amount of sexy nerd appeal.






1. Chanel - 3213 Black - $400

2. Gucci - D-Framed Olive - $265

3. DKNY - DY4561 Black - $169.95

4. Ray-Ban - RX5150 Black- $159.95

5. Tory Burch - TY2005 Green - $226

6. Tom Ford - TF5117 Tortoise - $364.95
