LA Travel Magazine Spring Release Party

April 27, 2015

Last weekend, I was invited to the spring release of LA Travel magazine at Supperclub LA. I had no idea what to expect, other than a fun night filled with music, dancing, and celebrating another issue of a great publication.
First, my outfit for the evening!

I was OBSESSED with this Badgley Mischka dress as soon as I took it out of the Rent the Runway bag! It’s quite heavy and I was worried about not being able to wear it with a bra, as it has a large cutout in the back, but it worked out perfectly!

I loved this guy. He was so funny and theatrical, and eventually worked his entire body into that blue balloon!

The setup at Supperclub took me a bit of getting used to, but I ended up really liking the bed-like lounging areas. It was very cush and comfortable and can seat a lot of people, which is always a nice reprieve from dancing.

I ran in to these beautiful people again, looking as lovely as ever and so kind! From left is Tom Sandoval, Katie Mahoney, me, the boyfriend, and Tom Schwartz. I used to be fixated on their reality show, Vanderpump Rules, before I canceled my service provider so I was only able to catch the first 2 seasons, but it was such a guilty pleasure. Yes, it was drama and fighting, but that aside it was also the inner workings of a restaurant and frequent glamorous photo shoots and group trips to envy.

I was also able to catch up a bit with Kyle Chan, one of my favorite jewelry designers. He’s such a nice guy, and I can’t wait to visit him at the upcoming Unique LA show!

Bike Classic OOTD

April 14, 2015

Every year, the city of Redlands hosts the Annual Bike Classic, and thousands of people descend upon the downtown area for food vendors, offerings from the local bike shops and, of course, to watch the adrenaline-filled races from the sidewalk. It’s a pretty fun weekend activity, one that I’ve been partaking in as long as I can remember. This year, I had just happened upon this bicycle-print scarf on Amazon, after seeing it on Pretty Little Liars (one of my favorite shows, yes, it’s juvenile, but I don’t really care haha!)  I thought, what a perfect opportunity to wear the spirited accessory, so thanks to Prime shipping, I got it two days later and voila! It was the perfect topper to my casual outfit.

Black and White and Ruby OOTD

April 9, 2015

To tuck or not to tuck..
I’ve always been undecided about tucking my tops in to my pants, mostly because I feel it can be unflattering on the wearer. After seeing an infinite number of pictures on my favorite blogs and Pinterest that depicted the act, I thought I would finally try it out! I feel that it does make me look a little bit shorter in the torso, but it’s kind of fun and adds some dimension to a look. Which do you prefer?

Simply Stylist LA

April 8, 2015

This post is definitely a bit delayed in going up, but here it finally is!
Due to some short notice and a less-than-flexible work schedule, I was only able to get off at 1 pm, to make it to the “cocktail hour” section of the Simply Stylist LA event. What I missed, and will certainly plan ahead for next time around, is the blogger brunch, featuring some of the industry’s top bloggers, and several expert panels, touching on everything blogging-related.
I made it there just in time to take a brief lap around the “brand experience” set-up, which I must say, I wasn’t thrilled with.. The lines were excessive, about 30 ladies in each waiting for one of two hairstylists, and one manicurist… There were so many people waiting for pizza and drinks, I didn’t bother with them because I knew I didn’t want to be late for the speakers upstairs at Morels!

IMG_1055
The first speaker was the delightful and eloquent Calli Cholodenko, a social media expert. She spoke on timing, photo filters, hashtags, brand transparency and consistency in posts. I took over a page of notes and learned so much!
Next up was one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Jenny Bernheim of Margo & Me! I’ve always loved her feminine, yet eclectic style, and she’s so adorable with her petite frame and that hair! OK, I’ll cease with the girl crushing momentarily to say how much I enjoyed her time at the mic as well. She also spoke of consistency in blog posts, monetization, and staying true to your personal style and brand. I was able to grab her for a brief chat downstairs and she was very humble and gave me some great tips 🙂

I mean, seriously, how cute is her outfit!? Loved those shoes…
Since the boyfriend was able to join me for this trip out to the Grove, we decided to treat ourselves to a little meal at Bar Verde inside of Nordstrom.

We stopped in to Banana Republic where I fell in love with some of their suede heels, but I restrained, knowing they are frequently on sale online… I did find these two gorgeous pieces of jewelry that I had to grab.. Each were in the clearance section for under $20 (hello, good deal!) and I will get so much use out them (pictured with a could of recent lip products from Planet Beauty.)

Sounds like a dare to me.

The rule-breaker in me had to check out this view and snap a few shots.
