The Royal Ronsons

You know the Ronson trio: Mark, Charlotte and Samantha.

Mark is an award-winning music producer and DJ who has collaborated with everyone from Radiohead to Nate Dogg to Amy Winehouse to Ghostface Killah to The Kaiser Chiefs. His mother is married to Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones, and it's Jones that surrounded him with music. Ronson is currently in throes of passion and love with young style icon -- and Gavin Rossdale's biological daughter -- Daisy Lowe, who happens to be a fashion muse of mine.

Charlotte Ronson is one-half of Mark's twin sisters. She's a fashion designer with an eponymous label and best friends like Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss, who are now both embarking on a bikini line partnership called Made With Love. Ronson also created the bright pink top with black ribbon straps in my closet that I love so much.

Samantha Ronson is the second-half of Mark's twin sisters. She's a skinny, chain-smoking DJ who is currently in a relationship with Lindsay Lohan. This Ronson prefers sneakers, Pete Doherty hats, dyed blonde hair with dark roots and being LiLo's arm candy.

Harper's Bazaar recently shot the Ronsons in a Royal Tenenbaums-style shoot that turned out pretty great.

Every family has dysfunctions, even if your last name is Ronson.










I'm Lovin' it: Jane Birkin is coming out from the shadows of her namesake Birkin bag to guest design a collection for silky soft sweater line Lutz + Patmos. At least her sweaters won't cost you $12,000 and a lifetime on some waiting list.








I'm Over it: Seeing an ex-BF (who was a bipolar mess) from five years ago in a Costco line up yesterday. Thank god those side-by-side line ups are far apart. He tried to get me to notice him. I pretended I didn't. Is that bad?? Oh well. I'm better off for it.


Track of the Day: My Morning Jacket's cover of Elton John's "Rocket Man". It's got that same sad, slow vibe as Sonic Youth's cover of the Carpenters' "Superstar".
