The O.C.

We don’t mean to brag but… we are thrilled to see so much HOLLYWOULD clothing being worn lately on our favorite show, The OC.  Not only has HOLLYWOULD been featured last week (and will be next week too), but we love love love the fact that it’s been Julie Cooper, the ultimate vixen, who’s been wearing it.  Everyone knows it’s hard not to be a vixen in HOLLYWOULD, so we’re looking forward to finding out what Julie has in store for us this season!  And… not only has Julie Cooper (aka Melinda Clarke) been wearing HOLLYWOULD on TV, but she’s also been sporting it in real life, as have other OC babes Mischa Barton & Rachel Bilson.  You girls rule.

HOLLYWOULD ♥’s The OC!

HOLLYWOULD is hiring!  We are looking for a full-time Production Manager to be based in Florence, Italy.  Must speak & write fluent Italian, and must have 1-2 years minimum working in fashion production in Italy.  Please send resumes to jobs@ilovehollywould.com if you qualify and are able to start ASAP.

In other news, we were all sooooo happy to see Jaime Lynn Sigler wearing our HOLLYWOULD black Cruise 2006 Bahama dress on Regis & Kelly last week, and equally thrilled when Kelly Ripa decided to order the same dress for herself!  These two adorable girls are some of our very favorite HOLLYWOULD customers, because we love their chic but sassy style.  That's right, I said "sassy".  We love you Jaime Lynn & Kelly and hope you’ll continue to rock HOLLYWOULD clothing for all of your occasions!

And last, I am currently in Milan, Italy for a shoe show where we have met HOLLYWOULD fans from all over the globe.  Look out for the HOLLYWOULD Fall 2006 collection in all of your favorite cities, including Moscow, Kuwait, Athens, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, Riyad, Istanbul, Shanghai, Dublin, and Dubai!

We love Sharon Stone!  Yes, it’s true, Sharon Stone, the world’s most beautiful, lovely, talented, drop-dead gorgeous actress, chose to wear HOLLYWOULD to the premiere of Basic Instict 2 this week in London!  We think she looks divine in our black “Molly” dress and can’t believe how fortunate we are to be able to dress the queen of the A-list.  Thank you Sharon, we love you!!!

It’s time for a new HOLLYWOULD Customer of The Month!  I’ve just received a fabulous email from one of our new favorite girls in the world, Carol Bell who wore HOLLYWOULD to her recent birthday party in Miami!  Carol’s biz partner (http://www.thepattongroupinc.com/) Marysol Patton also sported a HOLLYWOULD dress, so I think it’s only appropriate that these two lovely ladies both get $100 gift certificates to HOLLYWOULD as their Customer of The Month reward!  We love you Carol & Marysol!!!

I have just returned from sunny Scottsdale, AZ where I was with my business partner Leslie Ternes Smith hosting a HOLLYWOULD luncheon for Arizona’s most important society rag, Trends magazine.  The luncheon was a fantastic charity event which benefited a wide range of causes, and it was attended by all of my favorite friends from childhood as well as hundreds of other women who came out to support.  We love Trends and all of their chic readers, and thank you all for coming to our big event!

The following day we hosted another event at Nordstrom, which is a great place to find our current Spring 2006 collection if you’re in need of something fun to wear for this season’s cocktail soirees.  The staff at Nordstrom Scottsdale are fabulous, and even if you don’t live in Scottsdale you can always give them a ring!

After what seemed like 48 hours straight of non-stop promotions, I was in desperate need of a margarita and headed out with my little sister Molly & pals to Handlebar Jay’s country music bar.  Growing up in Arizona I never hung out at places like this, I never listened to country music, and I hated the fact that I wasn’t living somewhere urban & hip, like New York City.  Now however, when I return to Arizona I embrace all that is country and/or rodeo related because “urban & hip” can’t compete with line-dancing at a bar where the patrons actually arrive on horseback.  Aw yeah.

Am now back in freezing NYC for another jam-packed party week, so stay tuned…

We love gorgeous Garcelle Beauvais!  Last night she wore our favorite HOLLYWOULD Spring 2006 dress, the “Esmerelda”, to the Vanity Fair Amped For Africa benefit in Hollywood.  My goodness she looks divine!  Thank you so much Garcelle for being so drop-dead beautiful, lovely, and talented, and for choosing HOLLYWOULD for your red carpet events!  We love you!!!

Hello Girls!  So sorry for yesterday’s misspelling… the Palm Beach pictures are not on New York Social Dairy, but New York Social Diary.  It would be cool if there was a social dairy, but there’s not.  To see the HOLLYWOULD Palm Beach Fiesta photos, visit:

In the meantime, here are a few photos from John de Neufville’s fabulous Godfather-themed 30^th birthday party bash, which occurred the same night as NYC’s Blizzard of 2006.  Happy Birthday John!
