Wear to Where: 88 Orange
06.01.11
It might seem hard to believe (because I’m not that old) but when I was a kid, Orange County really was largely made up of orange groves. Back then there was no Irvine Spectrum, just rows upon rows of citrus trees. I remember driving down the 133 Freeway with my parents, before there was a toll road; to a Golden State (5) Freeway that had a lot less lanes and a lot less traffic. These childhood memories came flooding back to me recently when I came across a bottle of 88 Orange fabric softener.
I was surprised to learn that the highly sought after fashion line 88 Orange offers a signature blossom scent in a variety of products ranging from body butter to candles, but their fabric softener has really struck a chord with me. I take my clothing seriously and not using a fabric softener, to me is a capital crime. If you are going to invest in looking and feeling your best then you have to make sure that you are giving your wardrobe the love and attention it deserves. 88 Orange softens my fabrics and gives them fresh clean scent that is delicate, refined and more original than Febreze or Snuggles.
Recently I attended a luncheon where several different women complimented me on my perfume and asked me what it was. I love the confidence I get from knowing that I smell pretty just by putting my clothes on.

Save Music with Denim!
05.31.11
Celebrity denim designer Mychael Darwin is doing his part to support VH1’s "Save The Music Foundation."
The OC-based designer kicked off his career making high-end leather themed tour jackets for musicians and concert world tours—including the Michael Jackson Dangerous Tour.
You can bid on an exclusive VIP Denim Experience package from Mychael Darwin Custom Made Jeans worth $1,500. If you win, you’ll be in for a fashion extravagance: custom-made jeans hand-sewn to your exact body measurements from the premium denim fabrics made at his studio in La Habra.
The "Save the Music" auction includes other signature pieces from high-fashion icons such as Ralph Lauren, Jean Paul Gaultier and Alberta Ferretti. The first phase of the auction continues through today. The second auction kicks up again on Thursday.
