Rivets, studs, sequins & cascading necklines.






Hello friends! With Winter and Holiday's in full swing, what is better than a fun dress, top, sweater or vest to layer on for the cold weather. We just got an incredible shipment of Alice + Olivia and Woodleigh. Plenty to choose from you'll love all the details of ruffles, sequins and silver rivets. I love layering the ruffled sweater vest with a cute tee and jeans, with heels or boots. Leggings are an every day essential for some Winter wardrobes, why not pair it with a cute sweater dress with sparkling embellishments. There are so many options to choose from, come check out what's new at Bleu!

Three Thanksgivings and one skirt...Trust us we can make it work!


If you are like me and have at least three dinners to attend this Thanksgiving and very little time to plan any appropriate outfits I’ve decided to help you out! Here are three different outfits using one skirt from Camilla and Marc. The first look to the left we paired the Alice and Olivia white blouse with the Eddera kissing bird necklace, wear this look to dinner with your family. The second look, is a little more sophisticated and conservative, wear this Alice and Olivia blazer over the Camilla and Marc bustier to dinner with the “in laws”, and the final look is the most playful! This look is dinner with your friends, a loose fitting Haute Hippie tee and a large chain necklace from JoomiNYC.

I hope these looks help you with your dinners! Find all three looks online at www.bleuclothing.com! Happy holidays.

All that glitters is gold...

We just received Eddera yesterday afternoon and I fell in love. Accessories are a major weakness for me, I can never seem to have to many necklaces, rings, earrings, or broaches. They seem to always help me out when I'm having the "I have nothing to wear" crisis every woman has with a closet full of clothes. So I was extra excited when we received our shipment of Eddera. Simple elegance is how I like to describe this line. Beautiful simple pieces that can be worn with jeans and a tee and also with a stunning cocktail dress. My favorite pieces are the snake wrap necklace and the olive leaf ring. I can not get over how gorgeous these pieces are! Oh and I can't forget the hair bands, I thought they were sooooo out, but after seeing these I realized I can not go another day of living with out one of them in my life!

Its been a minute since Ive blogged and I apologize, Bethany has been out of town and Ive had to hold down the fort and Ive been swamped! We have received some amazing new products last week and this week. Im going to first start off with Cench Couture hand bags! I have to say I love these bags, they are the perfect every day bag that can go with anything and everything AND they are designed by our beloved Pamela Lin, she left Bleu to begin the line.

My second favorite item this week is this gorgeous pinky/peachy embroidered silk skirt from Camilla and Marc. Im not usually a big pink fan but this skirt is stunning! I love how I can dress it up and make it look very classy with a black silk blouse, or make it funky with a regular grey tee. Its so versatile and perfect.


Here is my all time favorite piece from Haute Hippie, GORGEOUS steel blue rabbit fur vest. I know all the rage is faux fur, but sometimes you can not deny yourself the luxury of real fur and for less than $500 why would you? I love this vest because its super classy but extremely funky as well. You can wear it over a great cocktail dress or wear it with a fun printed tee and super skinny jeans with high boots.



Finally, Im a sucker for lingerie. Many of my dollars get spent on lingerie, I just love to feel pretty and sexy underneath what Im wearing. The best part about lingerie is no one knows what you are wearing! Its like your own personal secret, it always makes me walking a little taller and definitely with more swagger.
Here is Samantha Chang and a black lace chemise. I immediately picked this up when we got it in. I have worn it underneath a loose fitting dress and to bed. Its my new favorite!!!

Think Rational...





It’s finally feeling like winter in LA and I couldn’t be more thrilled. We can finally start stocking up our closets with warm clothing. But here in LA we don’t really need to go all out, its all about layering amazing pieces and accessorizing with fabulous belts and bags. Here are a few of my favorite pieces we received from Society of Rational Dress. Adorable t-shirt dress with tie, long cashmere cardigan with chain belts, and black ribbed rolled t-shirt with side belts. Check out all the latest fall arrivals at www.bleuclothing.com

Cascading Paillets









Sorry its been a minute since I've blogged, we've been a little swamped lately with orders, new arrivals, customers, you name it we've had it! I was extremely excited this morning to see the UPS driver at our door, because I knew it could be non other than 3.1 Phillip Lim!!! We immediately ripped open the box to see the goodies. What we found was amazing! Beautiful shimmering cascading paillet tunic and cardigan, super sexy cashmere brown sweater with penguin tails and silk ruffled sleeves, and the most amazing feminine/androgynous gray sweater dress, with ruffled silk lining that pokes out the bottom oh so delicately. Basically if I could marry a line of clothing I would marry 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2010. No joke. www.bleuclothing.com

Is Global Warming Real?






I guess so, its been an amazing week in LA, beautiful weather almost feels like the beginning of Summer. Kinda weird because I really want Fall.I want the brisk breeze, the over cast days, and the chily nights. Thank goodness its going to cool down this weekend. Im really happy we received a large shipment of chunky knits and super soft cashmere sweaters. I love to cozy up with a nice cashmere knitted sweater from Patterson J. Kincaid, or a super soft cashmere shawl from Chris Cashmere. Fall has to be my favorite time of year, I feel as though just because its chilly out doesnt mean you have to sacrifice style and fashion. Layers and chunky sweaters are the best! Stop by the online shop and get cozy and beautiful with Bleu! www.bleuclothing.com

Bleu's gonna dress you up...




With holiday's and festive parties around the corner, we are eager to try on our Winter dresses. This season there are so many lovely dresses, blouses and skirts to rotate your wardrobe right into the new year! www.bleuclothing.com

3.1 Philip Lim, Mason, Mara Hoffman!!!






Yesterday we received three of my favorite designers! 3.1 Phillip Lim, Mara Hoffman and Mason!! I love how each designer takes their own approach to femininity. Mason can make you look sexy and edgy, but still very feminine, 3.1 Philip Lim loves to play with asymmetrical lines, sequins and color, while Mara Hoffman is all woman! Her prints are beautiful and her cuts are extremely flattering, she knows how to accentuate a woman’s curves. I am determined to stock my entire closet full of these three designers! I suggest you do the same, starting with the sequins 3.1 Phillip Lim dress, the slit leather knee pants from Mason, and the spine chain tank by Mara Hoffman.

Elizabeth and James







Everyone knows what amazing style and grace Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have, they have grown to become dashing young ladies with an amazing eye for fashion. Elizabeth and James is one of my favorite brands at the moment, I love the fit and they uptown meets downtown style. But what I love most is I can mix and match so many pieces to produce a night or day look. This week we recieved a few amazing pieces, a plaid coat, long sleeve back zip dress, beautifully sculpted bustier dress. and a mini wrap bondage skirt.

We love Young Fabulous & Broke, and more Winter pieces have arrived today at the store. Great subtle colors, with punches of beading and sequins, tencil cargos, and wrap coats. Great to mix and match with leggings, jeans or skirts, and layer under jackets and cardigans.

New Designer!






We just got in a great new designer Humanoid. Hailing from the Netherlands, Humanoind produces amazing wool and cashmere pieces that are perfect for chilly Autumn/Winter days and nights. We received four great pieces yesterday. A beautiful large knit sweater, two wool skirts, and fantastic silk bronze pants. Each piece is unique in its own right and can be worn dressed up or down. I personally love separates, they allow me to be more creative with my outfits and are useful for quick changes when I have to rush from work to cocktail hour.
