You go FLOTUS! Melania Trump proves that she can pull the 'all-American-girl' look and do the work also

Leave it to a devastating natural disaster (no! I don't mean the media and its political pundits) to show us Melania Trump's true colors. While social media, wanna-be fashionistas, and the left went onto overdrive over her Manolo Blahnik stilettos (yep!those ones ...

Pinstripes and Lavish Lace Collars

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend, I surely did. And how not: a trip to Malibu is always a crowd pleaser!

Girl's Night Out: Los Angeles style

Lombard Street Tiered Ruffle Skirt by Johanna Ortiz | Moda Operandi

Happy Saturday Everyone! It is sunny, warm, and breezy in LA -- what can I say the perfect day .., and that calls for THE perfect outfit. No -- not for me but for a dear friend who is off to a special event this weekend. Looking for it I circled back to an old favorite of mine -- the one and only Ms. Johanna Ortiz!

Summer Time Dinning

Summer is in full swing and with all the time we are spending (or should be spending) outdoors a closer look to one's dinnerware is in order. After all you don't want to be serving an al fresco dinner in your old drab plates and cups from the late 80s, Right?

Coachella '16: the best looks (weekend one)

Cindy Crawford and husband

The first weekend of Coachella'16 is now behind us. After the dust (hmm, is should be the sand) settles it was, as expected, an extravaganza with some great acts and some not so great ones, and of course a lot of people watching and parties, and yes! great fashion statements (and even an appearance from Bernie Sanders introducing Run the Jewels via video -- now that is weird!)

It is 7:30 A.M in Los Angeles and the temperature is already in the very very high 70s with what feels like 100% humidity. I know, perhaps, the folks down in Miami or other truly tropical weather spots will scoff at this, but we are simply not accustomed to this kind of humid heat spell in West L.A.. So, I found solace in these fantastic monochrome photography that just sizzle and yet ooze the coolness of a breezy night on the beach ... but for the moment I have to settle for a very powerful fan ...

The Essentials:

Food Dish or Pure Art

I am not obsessed with food, although if you are to casually peruse this blog or look into my 'my items' in my polyvore page you probably would think otherwise. I also do not have the excuse of being a cook or even remotely a good one. In fact I cannot even prepare a descent meal to save my life. But with all the great restaurants around L.A. and food delivery services it is not a hardship just a major shortcoming.

Watermelon: summer food for the soul

I love it! Don't you?

Get the Boho Beach Godess Look for Less

It is summer and Boho is all the rage, right?! And why not! It is the quintessential sex-appeal drenched summer style that lets you show off what you got ... From sexy sundresses, booty shorts, crop tops, and off the shoulder numbers, it is all about bare skin and toned bodies. I admit, I am all in for Boho.

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

The 4th of July is my favorite public holiday, so I try to make it special every year. In anticipation for yet another fabulous one coming up I decided to do my rundown of the top five things I will do this weekend in five amazing, in my opinion, pictures that capture the moment:
