How to tote and protect your iPad in style? We just found a nice resource for fashionable iPad cases for the ladies over the weekend. Not only are most renowned designers such Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Burberry in on the craze (we favor Marc Jacob’s cases, available at Apple, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus), we’re also fans of the Deux Lux collection at Doll Boutique and Gifts in Costa Mesa.

Deux Lux iPad cases and sleeves range from $54 to $66 and the brand also offers glamorous duffle bags with sequin encrusted bottoms, cosmetic bags, wallets, and more. The line is known for their creative colors, unique textures like metallic and quilted glitter, and innovative sparkles and crystal embellishments. Deux Lux is also animal friendly, most of its products are made of soft faux leathers.

Open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Doll is at 270 E. 17th St. #5 in Costa Mesa. 949.646.5652.

Wear to Where: Rachel Roy | Style Week OC

10.12.11

The 4th annual Style Week Orange County returned to Irvine Spectrum and their newest location Fashion Island last week, neither disappointed. The Irvine Company’s weeklong event featured: designer appearances, fashion shows, in-store events and a fabulous food festival.

OC’s biggest week in fashion aims to highlight emerging designers, notable style makers as well a hot local brands. Two of America’s top designers; David Meister and Rachel Roy were among the heavy hitters in attendance showing their latest collections. Project Runway’s Alum Nick Verreos, TV personality Mario Lopez, Celebrity Chef Jamie Gwen and my friend Stylist Taylor Jacobson also made appearances.

After several events at both locations I was most excited to see Rachel Roy’s Fall 2011 show which was followed by a meet and greet where I got to sit down with the Council of Fashion Designers (CFDA) inductee for an intimate conversation. Roy’s Fall 2011 collection was a beautiful lesson in eclectic layering and styling. Cashmere blazers, vests, necktie blouses, wrap dresses, tweed skirts and carrot pants in jewel tones, floral prints, and stripes gave both the bohemians and the ladies who lunch something to go on about. I also adored the the Heidi braids the models wore in their hair which I think complimented the collection nicely. Known for her feminine and sophisticated pieces it’s no wonder why she calls confident and effortlessly elegant women like First Lady Michelle Obama and actresses Hale Berry, Kate Hudson and Gwyneth Paltrow as her clients. Oprah Winfrey once touted that Roy would be “the next big name in fashion.” Guess she was right ...

If you want to check out more pictures from my point of view at the show and my meeting with Rachel Roy go to my website.
