This week's episode felt like a classic One Tree Hill thanks to a job well done by director Bethany Joy Galeotti. Lucas finally began casting his movie, and with all of the actors running lines and auditioning, it made me nostalgic for Season 1. Not only were there some funny moments, but also some surprising ones as well, as we were reminded that there's a sweet side to our evil Dan and bad boy Julian.

Within the first five minutes, we faithful viewers got to reminisce as the Haleys and Nathans were being cast. Even the poncho was brought back as Haley told Nathan off for being a dumb jock. Who would've thought back then that they'd be a stable and happily married couple today?

Well I am clearly not a very good blogger. So much has been happening and I guess I often blogged in my mind, but never wrote it down. Oops. Another fashion show is right around the corner. Crunch time again… It’s been a crazy 6 months. After a great Spring 2009 show (though a hurricane forced a last minute venue change), I went to PV in Paris to begin work on fabrics for the Fall 2009 Show. This season I was inspired by a mix of 40s and 80s… all beginning with this incredible kimono a saw at the flea market outside of Paris.

Though our Bal Harbour store officially opened in December, it kicked off the Spring season last night with the grand store opening party. Proceeds from the event went to Women of Tomorrow Mentor and Scholarship program. Miami heat was in the air as bold colors, nautical stripes and bright florals dominated the night. We’re forecasting a bright future for our 5th U.S. store.

In my Inauguration gear
Tuesday, Inauguration Day!
We wake up early…it is still dark outside and slightly snowing. It promises to be very cold!! I wear leggings, 3 layers of sweaters, a full ski suit, a ski vest, a fur jacket and a huge Russian hat. By 8:30 am we are in the Capitol and thanks to the Speaker of the House, we have amazing seats, right behind the stage. And it is cold!!
Slowly the crowd fills up, and I will never forget the sight of the Mall all the way to the Lincoln Memorial…filled with more than 2 million people.  But the crowd is not scary…it is calm and happy.

Our inboxes are constantly packed with an endless stream of emails from who knows who and who knows what. But one address always gets past our delete binge…juli b. Like a best friend who never cancels on dinner, juli b emails give you the ins and outs of what’s new and what to do in place like New York, Los Angeles, and Paris (to name a few). So we decided that juli b subscribers deserve a little something special. Say a $1,500 shopping spree at DVF.com.

The Click Clac Shopper
No one knows DVF like the women who work in our DVF shops. From New York to Nevada, Los Angeles to La Vida Loca (Coral Gables and Bal Harbour, of course), they have the inside scoop on what’s in store and how it fits. And they also all have their favorite items…

We’ve got inauguration fever at DVF. Diane is in DC, we’re all sporting our Obama Love Totes, and we’re even having a pizza party tomorrow to watch the Inauguration. We all have our opinions on what we want to see from the new president, and Diane got to have hers printer in the NY Times this weekend.
From New Yorker’s to Obama - a To-Do List
“Whether you’re an artist, a writer, a designer, whatever, you come to New York to sell things. In a sense, it’s the center of trade. We need to maintain that. When you leave London, Shanghai or Paris and arrive at the airport here, it seems charmingly third world. The streets, too.

Fashion is so funny sometimes. The weather outside is freezing, and even though we haven’t even started buying Spring clothes, Fashion Week will begin shortly with the Fall 2009 runways in preparation for next Winter! But if this doesn’t confuse you then let the countdown to Fashion Week begin. DVF will take its usual slot on Sunday night, while the rest of the schedule is filled with familiar and first-time faces.
