Possibly one of the best known design houses today is Louis Vuitton. Famous for their beautiful monogram luggage and bags, their pieces are highly sought after and synonymous with luxury and classic style. Established in Paris in 1854, Louis Vuitton's most famous design is the LV monogram canvas.

Local History Open House Day in Santa Ana!

I'm taking a quick break from the Disneyland series to point out a local history event happening in Santa Ana this Saturday, April 3rd.
.
The Orange County Archives, the Old Courthouse Museum, and the Howe Waffle House Museum will all be open for their quarterly Open House, on Saturday, April 3, 10am-4pm. The Archives and the Old Courthouse Museum are both located in the Old Orange County Courthouse (built in 1901) at 211 W. Santa Ana Blvd., in Downtown Santa Ana. The Howe Waffle House (a beautifully restored Victorian) is right across the street.
.
The Orange County Archives will offer "behind the scenes" tours, but you'll also be able to spend the time doing research if you'd like. The Archives is home to a large and unique collection of government records, photos, directories, and other materials documenting the rich history of Orange County. This is where I'll be on Saturday, so stop by and say hello. (Normally, the Archives is only open on weekdays, 9am to noon and 1pm to 4:30pm.)
.
At the Dr. Willella Howe Waffle House & Medical Museum, local history authors including Rob Richardson, Phil Brigandi, Christine Salts, Roberta Reed and Alison Young will be on hand to sign their latest books. Other authors will include Michael Barry and Chip Martin. I think the Santa Ana Historical Preservation Society will be offering walking tours of Downtown again that day, but I'm not positive. The house will also offer tea, sweets, and Easter egg hunts for the kids at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00pm.
.
The Old Courthouse Museum's gallery will feature "Defining California Style: The Architecture of Allison & Allison" -- a reprise of a very interesting exhibit from about eight years ago. Allison & Allison's Orange County projects include some of our most attractive schools, such as Huntington Beach High School and the recently demolished tower at Newport Harbor High School.
.
Hope to see you there!

This Week We Covet Whitney Port's Wardrobe

As a women in my 30s I'm not sure if I'm meant to covet wardrobes of girls in their early 20s, or watch The Hills for that matter. But I do! I love the shenanigans of Lauren, Whitney and Co. and am strangely drawn to the fiasco that is Spencer/Heidi. I love Lauren's style but she sometimes plays it safe, whereas Whitney Port knows how to mix it up, designer with thrift and gorgeous vintage dresses. So this week here are some of my favourite Whitney looks and I look foward to watching her style evolve in New York in The City.

A Little More Beladora That J'Adore

Thanks Jill for the link. I thought that I would add another photo so that you could get a better idea of the size of this pendant so here is Miss de Ville modelling it! Note the modern chain with the one bezel set diamond which is the perfect complement to the pendant.

Since the Retro snake necklace featured by Elle.com is probably just a little above our budget at $14,250

here's a beautiful Victorian snake at a somewhat more affordable price

Antique Victorian Diamond Crescent and Emerald and Ruby Snake Pendant $2450

This is an outstanding Victorian piece because it joins the two major Victorian jewelry motifs, the crescent and the snake into one design. Also the stones are really vibrant.

It always amazes me that a piece with so much intricacy was crafted completely by hand without the use of modern machinery.

J'Adore Beladora Snake Jewelry And So Does Elle.Com

While googling around the other day I happened to see that the utterly gorgeous Kate Davidson Hudson, accessories editor for Elle Magazine, is swooning over this sexy sapphire serpent.

J'adore: Beladora Retro Snake Necklace

I met Kate last Fall in New York and she truly is as nice and as smart as she is beautiful. Seriously, this woman won the jackpot in the great gene lottery.

LV bracelet

I bid on this Louis Vuitton bracelet yesterday but the prices went ridiculously high.. over 200$.. :O Sorry but that's just waaay too much for one piece of plastic. Like 10 times too much :D
