Koko & Palenki welcomes celebrity designer Nicole Richie

Koko & Palenki, South Florida’s trend setting boutique, teams up with Nicole Richie for an afternoon of style. On Friday April 29, 2011, Koko & Palenki’s Aventura Mall store will host celebrity Fashion designers, Nicole Richie from 2-4 p.m. Richie will be signing autographs and showcasing new pieces from her Spring line of House of Harlow 1960.


“Of our five South Florida locations we picked our Aventura store because it’s central to our clients coming from both the north and south,” said Pamela Garcia, President of Koko & Palenki. “This is going be a great event because our boutique is the perfect setting where fashion lovers and style icons can connect.”


In 2009 Richie launched her boho-chic line House of Harlow 1960, as a jewelry line. Since then HOH 1960 has grown into a full line featuring shoes, ready-to-wear fashion and jewelry. Koko & Palenki has been showcasing the line since its inception. The boutique now carries HOH 1960 jewelry, sunglasses and shoes. In the fall the store will also be carrying Richie’s Winter Kate line.


Nicole Richie’s appearance is going to be the first in a series designed by Koko & Palenki to bring fashion icons and celebrities to its South Florida locations. For future events Koko & Palenki customers will receive special invites to other in-store appearances.

Who will steal Fashion Crown at Scottish Fashion Awards!

Organiser's of Scotland's most high profile celebration of fashion and style have announced the shortlist for the event's 'Scottish Fashion Icon' award, which will be presented at the 6th annual Scottish Fashion Awards in association with Vogue.com.

In a poll conducted by the Scottish Fashion Awards, asked 500 15 - 35 yrs olds in key Scottish cities, who they felt where 'Scotland's most fashion conscious and stylish celebrities'. The survey asked a random sample of 15 - 35 yr olds to rate their top 3 Scottish celebrities from a list of 20 provided to them.

"This gives us a great mechanic to formulate the short list," said Tessa Hartmann, founder and Chairman of the awards. "It's just a bit of fun to add to the awards, as all our other categories are very serious and judged by an international fashion panel - hence their credibility. But this year, before we go live with the fashion icon on line voting, we wanted to find out who our nation really thought was stylish. Now it's over to Capital FM listeners and the people across Scotland to cast their vote!"

Paul Cooney, Managing Director of Capital FM, sponsors of the award category said: "The nominees for 2011 superbly represent the variety and contrast among Scottish style and talent - everything from sophisticated glamour to cutting edge trend setters. This category showcases everything that Scottish fashionistas have to offer and provides a platform for us to recognise individuality and personal style. It's great to see such a mixture of faces from the worlds of music, fashion, television and film."

Chic in Chambray

Technically, this post should be titled Chic in Chambray and Denim Shirts but that didn't have the same ring just Chic in Chambray.  I used to wear chambray and denim shirts in college until they were practically falling apart but tossed them aside after I moved to New York.  As these photos suggest, chambray, denim and Western shirts are classics that never really go out of style but they are definitely seeing a resurgance lately.  I even went out and bought myself a new one.  I look forward to wearing it with dark jeans and to tone down the sweetness of my floral skirts.  Just wish I looked as good in it as Jenna Lyons!  Bon Weekend!

Spring and Summer Arrivals

When I am shopping online, I always hit the "new arrivals" section first, don't you? I am loving the sweet and feminine dresses from Anthropologie this season. I could wear a different one each and every day. Featured above is the Bocagrande Dress. I especially like the name since I vacation in Boca Raton every Summer!
