:: COVETABLE COBALT ::

straight up > loves it when i wear something unusual > and get side eye. like ‘wtf is she wearing?!’ > it has happened SO many times especially on a red carpet. my homies + fashion peeps get it. but the masses don’t. until like 6 months or a year later when everyone else is doing it. LOVES IT.

a perf example was my long electric blue cobalt sequins Shareen Vintage number at the Golden Globes worn in January 2013. props to J LO for working her version (cough cough six months later, Tom Ford no less) last week.

BLUE is the color for Resort 2014 (see Christopher Kane, Richard Chai, Chanel, Roksanda Ilincic, Pucci, etc). this color in phenom on every single skin tone. causal or cocktail.

take Bob Dylan’s advice and get ~ TANGLED UP IN BLUE.

:: BLING RING BABES ::

i love strong and talented women. period. they live among me in my friendships + transform daily into a generous pool of inspiration. the ‘BLING RING’ premiere at the Directors Guild Of America was mega. cuz i got to surround myself w/ a plethora of superior women > all the while living life on the humble.

SOFIA COPPOLA is the voice of my generation. she is the ulti girl crush for every chick i know. i remember talking to her at the 2004 Vanity Fair Party the night she won her Oscar. of all the things going on around us > i was struck by how mellow and humble she is. even in her few words you felt her strength. it is a great lesson to our generation who is abundant in flossing and heading towards crass. i mean what bigger shoes could a person fill than having FRANCIS FORD COPPOLLA (hello growing with w/ Marlon Brando) as your father?! yet when u see her > Sofia is her own women. shout out to the BLING RING BABES cuz last night was above par on the fashion front > Gwen in Balmain (!!! for those heels over the pants !!!) Sofia and Chloe Sevigny both in Louis Vuitton, Emma Watson in a high collar fabulousity from Chanel. j’adore that these babes are still rockin the BLACK and WHITE TREND I told you about in September of 2012 »> http://blog.natalierotman.com/post/32418180055/noir-et-blanc-merci-paris-for-cementing «<

thanks to the crew at 42West especially my boy Christopher Garcia xx

:: LONG LIVE ROCK ‘n’ ROLL ::

one of the things i’ve learned about the entertainment industry is > that money can NOT buy you everything.

being rich isn’t enough to get u into a certain Oscar party or hangin’ w/ a living legend. access is everything. sometimes i can’t quite wrap my head around the unique situations i get myself into.

recently the team from Elvis Presley’s Graceland came to L.A. + showed me some of the key pieces that are going on display this year. these items are in fact priceless. regardless of the astronomical amount of money ELVIS collectors offer > the cape + guitar you see me holding above are not for sale.

Graceland opened to the public nearly 30 years ago, 20 million visitors later > it is still a phenomenon. people flock from all over to stand in front of glass encased artifacts at Elvis’ home.

i want to thank the peeps at Graceland for a priceless (literally) opportunity > i got to hold Elvis’ Gretsch Country Gentleman Guitar (seen above) !!!

even living legends bow down. check Paul McCartney (above) who visited Graceland this week > and (snap!) also asked to hold one of the kings guitars.

artifacts from the king of rock and roll are now on display at two new exhibits in Memphis. including an AMAZZZZING studded cape (seen above) worn by Presley during the singer’s Aloha from Hawaii Concert in 1973.

up next for ELVIS? the 60^th anniversary of rock and roll in 2014. LONG LIVE ROCk ‘n’ ROLL.

:: OVERALL HAPPINESS ::

all we want out of this life is happiness. i promise a smile on ur face when u rock some fly overalls.

fashion wise we have been into 90’s trends like grunge and punk » now think 90’s hip-hop. ala the fresh prince of bel air. time to turn that cap to the back. this will replace jumpsuits as the must have onsie. could we ask for a funkier more comfortable UNISEX trend?!

sending OVERALL HAPPINESS to you and yours xx
