La La Love You

I knew one day I would see them live in the City of Angels...


The Pixies are my all-time favorite Alternative rock band. From "Where is my Mind" to "Debaser" to "The Happening" (Frank Black had an alien experience, so he decided to write about it), the Pixies have been there for me through it all: break-ups, back-stabbers, parties, growing up, & chilling out. I never get bored of their original pop/rock sound.


Coming up in November, the Pixies are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the album Doolittle (released in 1989). They'll be playing three shows @ the Hollywood Palladium, Nov 4th, 5th, & 6th. Yes, they added one more date, which gives me one extra day to make it to one of their shows (even though I only live 2 blocks away from the palladium). It'll sure sound better than listening to my neighbor sing. I'm in a state.

Cutest Dog Competition

Okay, okay, I know it supposed to be a fashion blog, but I really love my dog. So I entered him in the cutest dog competition. Now he just needs all his friends to vote for him! So please vote for Shy, & help him take home the title of the "Cutest dog"...lol.

Summer is far from over!

Some people might think that it's near the end of August, so fall is right around the corner. But here in L.A., its as hot as ever! Fall who? The extremely hot weather we've been having over the last few weeks has made me very happy that my summer wardrobe is really getting more bang for the buck! I've recently pulled a basic that I'm very excited about, my Celebrity Pink denim cuffed bottom shorts. They're a great fit (even for us girls who have CURVES), & they're a steal at only $24.00! You can check them out at my spot, House of Life.

Btw, hope everyone is having as great of a summer as I have been having...& hey, summer is far from over in our world!!! Love ya! xoxo.

Docs We Love: Roc Docs

So I stumbled upon this doc called "Do It For The Band: The Women of the Sunset Strip" on VH1 a few weeks ago while I was flipping through the channels. I love docs, pop culture, & especially love 80's rock! It was a TV dream come true! This doc gives you the good, the bad, & the ugly of the early glam metal scene on the Sunset Strip back in the day. The women in the doc are retired strippers, video girls, etc. who share their loyalty & devotion to the then un-famous rocker boys, who inevitably turned out to be some of the biggest names in rock to this day. Now this is loyalty (for those of you who are uptight, better "ear muff" it):



Their motto? "Do it for the band"!



The 7th Veil Strip club, where one of the women used to work, & where Guns N Roses used to hang out before they made it big. (I was like - hey, don't we drive past that strip club like almost every day)? Ah, the rich history of Sunset Strip!

House of Life moves to Hollywood!

Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum

Scott Baio in Charles in Charge

Hi everyone! Sorry we've been like deadbeat bloggers lately, but we've been busy moving across the country from NYC to L.A.! Since we ship worldwide, it won't really make a dif to anyone who would like to place an order, but we thought we'd give you an update anyway. If you have any questions, send us an email at: info@shophouseoflife.com. We'd love to chat with you!

So far, I've seen Ben Stiller (he's the man!), Christy Swanson (really b*tchy, but maybe she was having a bad day), & Scott Baio....I'll keep you posted on any celebs I see around town! xoxo

M.I.A. is one Hot Mama

Manish Aurora dress with Christian Lacroix for Gola sneakers

M.I.A. with Katy Perry

Performing in House of Holland dress

Hey, don't call M.I.A. musician, she's an artist..."You're an artist first; the medium is second." Anyway, the artist known as M.I.A. was at the Grammy awards on Sunday looking very pregnant (I guess since Sunday was her due date, she should look very pregnant). M.I.A. wore a blue Manish Aurora dress with Christian Lacroix for Gola sneakers, then a sheer House of Holland dress (from the spring 2009 collection) for her performance. M.I.A. wears some crazy sh*t & doesn't care what anyone thinks. She's just a free spirit who's gonna wear what she wants, when she wants, how she wants. Plus, if you're 9 months preggers, & not only willing to show up at an awards show, but perform as well, than you're entitled to wear whatever the hell you want! As LL Cool J said about the ensembles: "She's an artist." 'Nuff said.

p.s. There's Katy Perry with M.I.A. looking smokin' hot in a dress by Basil Soda.

"Barbie wishes she were me"

Who Is Angelyne? Why she's the Billboard Queen, of course! She has become a Hollywood icon known for purchasing billboards advertising herself. She says investors are responsible for funding her billboard ads. Angelyne began gaining local attention in the early 1980's when a series of billboards popped up around the city featuring her in various sexy poses. One of her best-known quotes is: "Barbie wishes she were me." We love it!

Get a little piece of the Billboard Queen:
