We caught up with the adorable Christina Milian last night at Meatpacking’s Beaumarchais restaurant for the singer’s 30th birthday dinner celebration. Milian was joined by family and celebrity friends including BET’s 106 & Park co-host Rocsi Diaz and singer Maxwell.

Guests toasted to the birthday girl with signature Harmonie cocktails as she blew out the candles to her Harmonie-inspired birthday cake. We were lucky to steal a moment with the woman of the hour to discuss what she learned about love in her twenties, her upcoming album and her need for lashes. Check out the video below.

Blogger Spotlight: Fashion as Identity’s Wendy Bendoni

Posted on December 20th, 2011

Hpnotiq recently caught up with Fashion as Identity creator Wendy Bendoni to talk about her free-spirit style, holiday trends and Tom Ford.

How would you describe your fashion inspiration?

My fashion inspiration is free-spirit. I like to wear whatever I want to wear, but I think my strongest thing is having something unique and something that’s local. I’m very locally driven — whether it’s LA or local NY.

 

Any favorite shows you like to shop at or stores you want to shout out?

Designer Joe Brown, as far as his jewelry brand, and locally I’m very Lisa Klein driven. She’s a friend of mine and she’s an LA girl that opened up a great store in regards to curation of LA fashion. Continue reading →

Posted on November 8th, 2011

The scene at Lucky Shops this past weekend was far from tranquil, but amidst the chaos, Hpnotiq found time to chat with Nicholas Kunz, one-half of the label Nicholas K, to chat about her latest line, the items in her closet she can’t live without and the mantra she chooses to live by.

What’s the inspiration behind your latest line?
