Birthday Girl!

Happy Birthday to a thoughtful, amazing, beautiful friend who embodies the Conscious Living living lifestyle - a true creative in all areas of her life. We love you Tracey!!!

That's Life

As if I didn't have enough going on... I am now a publicist with a purpose...

You can now add Editor in Chief to my list of monikers. 

I have also found a unique way to put my clients to work too. Actress Tracey Bregman is now my "Conscious Living" editor for Malibu Life Magazine. 

First issue launches July 1!

Over. Done.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mixing it up Malibu style

I'm not a big neon fan but I do love injecting color creatively into my low key Cali style.

Here's my combo for our visit to the Young & The Restless set today to shoot behind the scenes for my client Tracey Bregman.

We had a blast shooting behind the scenes with photographer Kelly Cappelli ( with me above ) and our whole crew at CBS in Hollywood...

Behind the scenes video coming soon!

Just chill

Pre-Fall shoot with Lea Cappelli

Summer hasn't even hit the Bu yet but fashion doesn't wait for weather. A pre-fall shoot for an edgy online mag was on the menu this week with indie music and model muse Lea Cappelli.

Shot on location at a beautiful Tuscan estate in Malibu called Villa Sancti, the colorful, lush grounds were a perfect companion to the rich colors in 27 Miles Malibu's Fall 2013 line and Andrea Gutierrez jewelry.

The photographer on this shoot was Lea's mom, Kelly Cappelli, who shot Lea for Italian VOGUE.

What an amazing day and an amazing crew!

Photographer Kelly Cappelli and I...

Eight looks later ( OY! ), we got ourselves quite the fab fall fashion editorial!

Big Business, no overhead!

Sunday may be a rest for most but it was a work day for my client actress Tracey Bregman and I as we went through media from the previous day's shoot.

This Malibu PR Gal had a crew two levels deep in behind the scenes to capture all the important moments of Tracey's first shoot for her new jewelry line to be released soon.

So we cozied up at Tracey's house, laptop to laptop, iphone to iphone and handled our big business ... with no overhead!

"Face" Time with PR COUTURE

This Malibu PR gal got some love from Crosby Norwick's wildly popular site PR COUTURE today.

Thanks for the love Crosby!

How we do

Life as a Malibu P.R. gal definitely doesn't suck. Meetings are mostly with an ocean view.

Yesterday, was no exception when I visited the location for an upcoming shoot, a friend's Tuscan estate

with expansive views of the pacific ocean.

The weather, over the top amazing, allowing for a poolside pow wow.

Life may be a bitch, but it's definitely to die for!

Coachella - Festival of fashion???

Whew.

We're half way through Coachella.

 Hopefully, I made myself very clear last week when I was bombarded with inquiries as to whether I was going to the "fiesta of fashion". 

Why on earth would I want to do that?

 Malibu IS Coachella.

 It's the Four Seasons of Coachella.

 Fashion bloggers have been feverishly instagraming copius amounts of crochet and the flagrant misuse of aztec prints all weekend.

Yawn.

You would have to break out the vintage YSL or Tom Ford for Gucci to get my attention.

Besides, why on earth would I want to suffer through dirt and dehydration to see rock stars I see everyday at the grocery store???

While major fashion brands are wasting tens of thousands and setting up VIP tents, putting a new ( ? ) spin on their "capsule collections"...

For what? I meeeaaan it's cute, but this is just regurgitated punk/rock/boho. Throwing a bunch of patterns, designs and studs together is hardly a "collection". In fact, it's a complete a complete clusterfuck.

  Coachella is definitely losing it's festival "fashion" factor and there is a very slim chance that their version of 're-branding' punk/rock/boho will continue to be cool - on any level.

So, you can imagine why I would never voluntarily go to the desert unless it involved a comped room at the Colony Palms Hotel and a fat paycheck ( not to mention two interns I would send to the fairgrounds to Instagram the insanity while I sipped cocktails by the pool - negotiating the real deals ).

 As thousands descend upon the Inland Empire for weekend #2 of Coachella 2013,  all I can really think of is how boho is about to go soooooo wrong.

However, years of therapy has taught me how to forgive.

This is called being "aware".

That being said, I am forced to make exceptions sometimes.

 So, when your extremely unflattering "festival fashion" photo shows up on Google after a drunken Coachella rager, please don't ask me for sympathy, instead
remember - Coachella is for kids - who don't get COUTURE.

Get it?
