White Out

dianiliving — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:47:46 +0000

The heat wave is making me move all the dark colors to the back of my closet and bring my whites to front and center. This past weekend, a few staples took me from a Sunday brunch to date night at the Lobero.

Loeffler Randal Heddie sandals, Mother Looker jeans. Both available at DIANI. Call 1 877 342 6474 for more information.

Isabel Marant jacket (similar)

Anya Hindmarch clutch. (similar).

As a tribute to my mother, my fiancé gave me these beautiful peonies on Mother's Day. How can you not be happy when you look at these blooms.

Feeling Blue

dianiliving — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 16:30:17 +0000

While I sit here and will the sun to come out, I remind myself that my roses are loving the morning mist. I have TONS of white roses in my garden and am so glad I bought the silver rose bowls I found at a flea market the other week in England.

As a nod to the amazing Rag and Bone event DIANI just had, I'm dressed head-to-toe in the fab designer.

Street Style – London Style

dianiliving — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:44:47 +0000

One of my favorite things about London is the style. Somehow Londoners dress with a kind of ease that never looks overdone. It's preppy, punk and polished all at the same time. And even more impressive, is no matter how cold the weather, and it was COLD, the style never suffers.

Me in my MiH Bonn jeans. Available at DIANI. (shout-out for the British denim brand). Helmut by Helmut Lang jacket, Isabel Marant moccasins (get on the wait list at DIANI. 1 877 342 6474), Plush hat.

I bought these Dr. Martens last year to ride my motorbike in, not realizing that they were going to make a comeback. They're all over London. I'm wearing mine with Rag and Bone skinnies and an Anya Hindmarch animal print bag (another Brit designer).

Spotted. Anya Hindmarch Bathurst bag (get yours at DIANI) and Isabel Marant Beckett sneakers (get on the wait list at DIANI. 1 877 342 6474).

Love her edgy office look. Mulberry bag.

Sometimes when you can't stop wearing black or brown, add your color to your hair. So punky and so British.

Have I told you I have a mens shoe obsession? Nothing beats a guy in a sharp pair of shoes. Spotted all over the tube.

Sneakers, sneakers everywhere. Converse and Adidas face-off.

A Johnny Depp look-a-like.

My fella looking very dapper in a Rag and Bone blazer, Barbour scarf and Goorin Bros cap.

My fella and his uber chic Paul Smith shoes (Supporting the Brit designers).

Love 'em or hate 'em, they got style.

Spotted at Tate Modern. Isabel Marant Beckett sneakers in cobalt. Get on the wait list for other colors at DIANI. 1 877 342 6474. Burberry umbrella.

This lad's got mad style for walking the entire length of the Embankment balancing a ball on his noggin.

Yes, it's Isabel Marant, again. Spotted at London's Heathrow airport. The Balesi sneaker in denim. Get yours here at DIANI. Louis Vuitton bag.

Weekend Wardrobe

dianiliving — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:51:59 +0000

It's been a hectic week traveling back and forth to LA for work, but I had a lovely weekend catching up with our LA friends at a dinner party on Saturday and a baby shower on Sunday. I packed light with my go-to Rag and Bone print top, wearing it one night with navy Rag and Bone skinny jeans and the other night with Isabel Marant cream harem pants. My cobalt Manolos came in very handy too!

Rag and Bone blouse and Dior Gris Trianon nail color.

Spring Shoe Obsession

dianiliving — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:31:24 +0000

I just got back from the chilly weather in NY, London and Paris and have been craving spring and sun and sand. I walked into my shoe boutique and fell hard for this Loeffler Randall sandal. The heel and ankle strap is so on trend, the white and silver complement each other perfectly. I cannot wait to start wearing them with my skinnies. Yay, I do believe spring is here! Ps. They're under $300 too!

Heddie stacked heel. Available at DIANI.

What I’m Wearing – Zara Crushing

dianiliving — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 04:23:17 +0000

I found a cute little ivory jacket and black suede pumps in Zara the other day and, despite the cold weather here in the city, couldn't wait to give the jacket a whirl. Sometimes cheap is cheerful and winter white always brightens the mood.

Zara black suede pumps.

My Butter nail color for the week - Fash Pack. Perfect!

Ready for dinner with friends at Kin Shop, NYC. The best Thai food I've ever had.

Sneaker Chic

dianiliving — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 17:50:11 +0000

I'm totally obsessed with my new Golden Goose sneakers, not only cause they're super comfortable. They're metallic gold! All my sneaker fantasies just came true. Even better, sneakers aren't just for weekends anymore. Add a cashmere sweater, a camel coat and some skinny jeans, and you're sneaker chic look is complete!

Is this just the perfect Sneaker Chic look or what?
