We don’t think that Jessie Randall, the president of fashion line Loeffler Randall (which won the 2007 CFDA Swarovski award), could be any cuter even if she tried. In 2001, after graduating from UVA, she served as an assistant at the uber-cool company Katayone Adeli. Then it was off to understand mass culture as an accessories designer at The Gap. She and her chief marketing officer, Brian Murphy, live adorably in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn with their twin sons, Casper and Liam—so precious!. They even have a Chihuahua named—get this—Romeo Indiana Ortiz Murphy!
Loeffler Randall is currently available at all CUSP boutiques.

We love these new nylon Stella McCartney for LeSportsac bags. Chic and functional for work, play and travel, the first limited collection was introduced for Spring/Summer 2008. They come in all different adorable shapes, sizes and colors.
Clockwise from top are just a few: an orange and tan diaper bag ($350), a gray tote that’s genius for the gym ($350), clutches in silver and orange ($150 each) and a pleated cosmetic case ($98). What’s more they’re completely green and guilt free. All fabrics were generated from 100% recycled materials.

Yes, there was a rainbow.
As you may recall, Nicole Richie came to CUSP Century City on May 29 for the launch of the Signorelli Angel Tee ($79, available at CUSP.com), with all proceeds from the sales of the shirts going to The Children’s Health Fund.
Well, the party was an absolute blast, and we’ve just uploaded a bunch of pics to our CUSPARAZZI gallery.
Mary, one of our CUSP stylists at CUSP Northbrook Court, wears an outfit that’s perfect for a trip to Bonnaroo, Pitchfork Festival, Ozz Fest, or any time you go out into the hot hot heat. Denim shorts are by 7 for All Mankind ($154). The rockin’ t-shirt is See by Chloe, suede boots are Marc by Marc Jacobs ($450). And don’t forget the classic Ray Ban shades ($139).

There aren’t many—in fact, are there any?—designers who can say that they’ve dressed Jackie Onassis, Diana Vreeland and Audrey Hepburn AND their contemporary counterparts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna, the Olsen twins, Mischa Barton and Jessica Simpson. But that’s exactly what the 77 year-old costume jewelry designer Kenneth Jay Lane has done. Known for his faux pearl and coral pieces, Lane originally started as a shoe designer for Delman and Christian Dior and made jewelry in his spare time which became a full time career. He also was a guest at Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball. How fabulous!

This cami-tiered dress from Julie Brown ($260) will shimmy with each step, providing a playful island feel as the weather turns totally tropical. With its leafy, colorful print and a pair of well-chosen pumps (we like these patent leather beauties from Dolce Vita - $165) you’ll feel like an elegant palm tree, swaying in the summer breeze.
