French Vogue
One last post (because these shots are just too pretty) before I start to enjoy my fabulous weekend filled with glamour and amore!!!

Korean Vogue
Amazing photographs by Kim Kyung Soon- Found these shots over on Simple Blueprint. Perfect Friday night inspiration.
A novel way to cover a MacBook!
I finally broke down and bought a new laptop but really wanted an amazing case to carry it in. I found these and I’m dying! I love them so much that I also ordered them for the shop so you too can get one!!!
Each BookBook is brought to life with hand craftsmanship and distressing, ensuring no two are exactly alike. From dual zippers with leather pulls, that at first glance look like bookmarks, to the sturdy reinforced hardback covers, BookBook is a vintage work of art built to protect modern day Macs. Along with classic looks, BookBook was designed to use as a traditional sleeve or to work while connected via elastic corner clips. Those dual zippers give you the option to charge your MacBook while it safely stays inside BookBook. This case is designed with good looks and smart functionality, cover to cover.
Late Night Glamour at LA Market Week!
Well yes, we do keep a very high standard of decorum here at BellJar and we always take time to make sure presentation is perfect. I mean we are ladies, after all. We are preparing for the next market and Jasmine pulled out this little gem of a video showing exactly how classy we are, even at 2 am, making nachos at 7-11. I mean a long day of shopping and sipping on nothing but Champagne leaves a girl a little hungry…so what else could we do but get a late night snack from the orange food group…one of my fav food groups. You know, Doritos, Nacho cheese, Cheetos, Velveeta! And I mean the attention to detail making the perfect Nachos really shows how we make every experience Glamour filled! Stay tuned for more moments form the next market in Vegas!

Chanel 2010 Spring Couture
I love me some Chanel. I think if I had it my way I would be lounging drinking champagne in a Chanel Frock every single day for the rest of my life. Chanel for spring has all the fluffy, girlie decadence that makes my little heart purr. The girls look like big pink cupcakes floating down the runway. All the girls that work for always joke they need to make me big bows in every color to wear with all my outfits and I totally agree. The fact that the models for this show have crazy 60′s space age do’s toped with big bows, what can I say I’m a happy darling. Lets drink champagne in these pretty, pretty dresses!
A Little Bit Country
I really am dying to see Crazy Heart! Anyone that knows me, I’m a little bit country. I love old country I have 10 pairs of cowboy boots, I love to do the two step, I used to be rockabilly and I like a roadside as much as adore the fanciest four star restaurant. I do love to sip fancy savoy cocktails, but I can happily shoot Jim Beam with the boys in a sawdust covered bar with a cactus out front and and old rusty ford. I can watch urban cowboy over and over and over and wish desperately to someday recreate Sissys sexy bull-ride scene at a Gilly’s in Texas. I can also shoot a gun, ride a horse western, and have been known to attend the rodeo. It’s important to remember glamour comes in all sorts of packages and I prefer to not only have one wrapping! So take Darling to see this movie!

Inspiration and Ramblings
I keep saying that 2010 is my year, and so far it feels like things are really going my way. We are moving along with the website, there has been a good amount of contact from press and I generally feel healthy happy and fulfilled. I have a lot that I want to get done and it seems that the one problem I’m having is waking up early enough in the day t get it all done. I wake up bu 8 usually but after going to the gym and general beauty regiment (shower, curl, eyelash, dress and heel) It seems like I can never leave the house before 11. We still manage to get a lot accomplished at the shop but there is so much more to be done!
1. Photshoots- We need to finish shooting all the new spring, jewelery and sale! We also need to get it uploaded to the site asap! We hope to launch the new e-commerce site next month. Currently we have been shooting on our own, but we need some help for the final push, so anyone who wants to come in and help us for their portfolios, experience and maybe some lovely merch trade, let us know. I mean isn’t just hanging around he BellJar girls reason enough? We promise beauty and decor tips as well as champagne!
2. Video Casts. I want to start doing a weekly video on style, shopping, beauty, love, fashion, and random darling ramblings. Do you guys think you care to hear such things as flea market tips, how to apply fake eyelashes or possibly about my ever fascinating and often tragic but always glamorous love life?
3. Prepare the fall buying plan! We seem to keep running out of gorgeous little frocks for all you pretty ladies so we are really getting strategic for fall to make sure this does not continue to be the BellJar trend. (ps thanks for shopping) We Plan to continue on with Funktional, Grace Sun, and Literature Noir amongst others! But will be searching for new lines!
4. Buying trips and gift shows!!!! Loads of travel coming up. Enk, Project, Pool, International Gift Show, Stationary show and more!
5. Road trips to find random treasures. I need to get my pretty butt out there..so many strange and beautiful things to be found and so little time! What if someone else beats me to them!
6. Get hair extensions put in, and buy some damn new fake eye-lashes…mine are tired I tell you. Ps girls only wear Shu Umera..I kid you not they are a dream come true! Recently a boy told me I had anime eyes. I’ll take that!
7. Fall in love…I mean really darlings, isn’t that the last step for our glamour filled lives? Well darn it if I don’t fall in love weekly and I do enjoy all the lovely gifts, dinners and good conversation, (thanks boys) but this year is all about taking a bit of time to not only focus on my world style domination but also to take a bit of me time and have a real personal life again.
8. Take a vacation. Yes, yes I do realize I’m incredibly spoiled and get to travel all the time for work..and believe me I love my job so it never REALLY feels like work, but I desperately need a week or two somewhere exotic where I do nothing but sip on champagne and get massages! Santarini can you here me?
9. I really want to go to the worlds largest garage sale this year! Who wants to drive the truck?
10. Curate amazing art opening for Gallery BellJar- We have the next five months pretty much covered and I’m really excited about the art we will be showing, but I need to ramp it up, attend more art openings and focus some attention on my other true love. Curating art openings!
11. And of course post more eye candy for you all- so here you go-
xoxo And as always we love and adore you!
A few pictures From Sasha Darling’s weekend in LA
Tiff and I went and stayed with Tiff’s old BFF from Chicago Kelly. Tiff and Kelly are both visual merch execs for Urban and were working on a store install in Pasadena starting Monday. That left us three whole days to shop, eat and enjoy Kelly’s darling little Hollywood Chalet! Some of the highlights include an amazing beautiful brunch, including the best Quiche I have ever eaten, Sasha Darlings spicy Bloody Mary’s, vintage shopping, Footsies with Lil K, the amazing realization that Tiff can french braid, and a fab new pair of huge sunglasses so that Sasha Darling could go incognito! xoxo
