#Sake? My easy gig, as Andy conjured a 9-course izakaya of the most magical variety, our our annual #thankyour dinner to the most amazing @aplusrdesign team. 🤍 https://www.instagram.com/p/B83MMPXp-v1/?igshid=1lzr658yt3o5e

Shoot day with the #glamorous @Lydia1940s at chez @DitaVonTeese for #FashioningTheFemmeTotale. Behind the lens, the incomparable @sanchezzalba. If only every day of work could be filled with such creative, glam, lovely folks. Not that I don’t love the solitude that comes with research and writing: that is, too, very much heaven for this gal. But these interludes provide a bit of vim to the enterprise, and so grateful for everyone’s grace through these day-long undertakings (that def includes you @calicrawford!). 🤍 #photoshoot #FemmeTotaleWorld #femmetotale @FemmeTotaleWorld #DVT #Lydia1940s #vintage #pinup #eccentricbeauty #YourBeautyMark #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B80WmaLpcY5/?igshid=xu6q348wrpqj

Life is best savored in the family you make and love. 🤍 #Valentine No. 9 commemorated, as always, with 🌟 📷 @RamonaRosales. 🤍 Why Ten of Cups (this side up!): One of the most positive cards in the #tarot deck, it features a couple + offspring under a rainbow of cups that are airborne, a nod to contentment not based on material circumstances. It can represent an overall sense of #harmony, #happiness and security and satisfaction in life. It is domestic bliss and perpetual success. Admittedly, we don’t hit those marks even daily in our home. But, with each sunrise, we strive. And that’s where the love comes in. #HappyValentines to you and yours. 🤍🥂🤍🥂🤍🥂🤍🥂🤍🥂 Shout out to @mikedelaselva for your work on the card. #tenofcups #tarotcard #mifamilia #myfamily #micorazons #adoptionmakesafamily #roseChampagne #marcarons #vintage #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B8j3hoqpNcb/?igshid=3qef7uxm0k9f

#Loafer is a modern classic, as equally at home in a hotel or club, lounge or bedroom setting. #SpaceCopenhagen’s tufted seating series for #&Tradition—it also comes in a dining and sofa rendition—conveys a delicious sense of intimacy and comfort, especially swathed, as here, in velvet. Shown with #LucaNichetto's Lato Table by and #ArneeeJacobsen’s iconic Bellevue Floor Lamp, also both by the Copenhagen-based @andtradition. Take a test sit at the #AplusR @ROWDTLA showroom now.

Not sure how to take the news that the class act that is @GlendaBailey is stepping down from her editorship at #HarpersBazaar to become #globalconsultant for #Hearst. The door further closes on an era that produced monthly magazines that fueled the dreams for so many of us growing up, and later fostered careers. On the latter, thanks to #Glenda and the dynamo @laurabrown, among my celebrity and lifestyle features for #Bazaar, I had the opportunity in 2012 to share the challenges—and inevitable, joyful success—of becoming a parent via #adoption (accompanying photo by old friend, the artist #ValentinToledo). I so remember just having gotten off the plane and into a rental car, all the while going back and forth on the mobile with Laura and Glenda’s concerns and care regarding my story. They wanted to get it just right. And for the sake of parents going through the same process, a harrowing one as it always is, I am grateful. 🥂 to you Glenda on your new adventure. You are one of the great ones. #star #editor #truthandliees #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Yza93pDP7/?igshid=15zhgtmzx4w8x

Mingling my excitement for the THIRD #Oscar nomination for the force that is @AriannePhillips and this #TurbanTuesday with this gem from 2011. The #costumedesigner extraordinaire that is Arianne is up for the little gold man this time for her work on #Tarantino's #OnceUponATimeInHollywood (in case you’ve been under a rock). Her attention to detail is bar none, and that includes the not-so-minor detail of staying generous: be it her and @carinehmartins’ #redcarpet initiative @radvocacy OR with her friends. I’ve benefitted over the years, including when she co-hosted with #JeremyScott the release bash for my second book, spotlighting #FredHayman and his impact on #Hollywood (including #Oscarfashion) and #BeverlyHills. It was the first event at @CaulfieldBH in that city, much thanks to another angel, the sparkling @linlee_allen. And don’t even get me started on what a gem Mr. Hayman was! (Oh, and the #turban + dress are #vintageDior, the topper from the 1960s, the dress during #Galliano reign) #talentedfriends #generousfriends #OUATIH #TBT #90210 #migente #giorgiosbeverlyhills #vintage #archives #lavienrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UDwD3przg/?igshid=1d3hmqqk6qyiu

My ghost of Christmas past: #OldGhosts. The best gift is an unexpected one, and what a sincere surprise it is to open a mystery package with this mug inside. On it, a trinity of expressive #mugshots by someone dear from a past life, the artist and skate legend #JohnAGrigley. We met not long after he and his fellow Floridian @Chuck_Hults moved west to enter the nascent skateboard industry in OC. I was 18, dating Chuck, and spent as many hours as possible at their apartment. Not long after, I had a sizable slice of John’s pristine vinyl collection (still do) and his roommate, as Chuck and I moved in together. John left for New York a lifetime ago, and our recent communications, if you can call it that, has been thru this newfangled IG. He posted a mug. I commented I needed one. And voilà. I hope I can enjoy a cuppa with you #MrGrigley when we’re next in each other’s town. 🎁👻 #grateful #talentedfriends #mugforthecamera #selfie #OG #oldghostsdesigns #streetartist #lavienrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bS-edJU_P/?igshid=1702q23zdx0md

At 50+ years, this glamorous little #elf is, literally, an oldie but a goldie. A cherished part of my Christmas since I was a baby. This is no #elfonashelf either. This elf is a showstopper as a dazzling tree topper. Stay tuned… 🎅🏼🌲🤶🏻 #holidaytradition #gildedage #goldlame #christmastime #vintage #vintageholiday #nostalgia #lavieenrose https://www.instagram.com/p/B6L0YdwJ_zO/?igshid=2soz8smxuyr3
