I interviewed Jennifer Nicholson for Angeleno last week regarding her new store, Pearl Drop, which is on the deserted stretch of Lincoln between Rose and Venice that’s suddenly turning hip (note the presence of a WursteKuche, a Handsome Coffee Roaster and a Floyd’s Barbershop as confirmation if you don’t believe me). A fashion designer, she’s also Jack Nicholson’s daughter and talking to her was very disconcerting. Not only does she look like him, but she moves her face in the same ways he does. I kept expecting her to break out into, “Here’s Johnny.” But of course she didn’t. She’s got a whole 70s California vintage vibe thing going on which, of course, I love. Throw a little YSL in the mix and you’ve got me down completely. You can just imagine bumping into Kate Moss here. We’d probably wrestle each other for the high waisted brown leather pants that lace up to the knees. Hands off Kate, I call dibs.

I’m in love with these two handbags from Cassidy Lange’s line. The squishy round one is called The London (how appropriate, right?), the other one is The Florence. Cassidy, incidentally, is not primarily a handbag designer; by day she’s VP at MGM. She was the executive on my friend Michael Sucsy’s movie, The Vow. What? You haven’t seen it? If just for Channing Tatum (aka Channing Yumyum), it’s worth a look.

But, back to the handbags. Get them here.
