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!

The glossy, finished product hot off the presses! This magazine features some great articles, highlighting fun things to do in AND out of LA, lots of fantastic restaurants and hot spots to visit.

Carmen Marc Valvo Midi Dress

April 24, 2015

I’m still undecided on this one! It was a recent rental from Rent the Runway, and I guess I expected it to be more youthful based on the pictures online.. I tried to bring a little fun to the look with gold chain jewelry and these burgundy heeled booties. The material of the dress has that drapery-chic sheen to it, but the print is really pretty and I adore the colors. The length is perfect for me, but I seem to be lacking a bit of generosity in the bust department to make the dress it’s most flattering (there was some extra fabric up top). The other thing is where I would wear it to.. Too fancy for brunch or work, a bit too much of a look for a date, and not quite glam enough for a nighttime event. A daytime shopping event would be perfect, because even though the shoes feature one of the highest heels that I own, they’re actually pretty comfortable!

Black and White Grid Top and Crops

April 21, 2015

Another simple throw-it-on-and-go look. My default as of late has got to be a not too complicated top, some version of denim bottoms, comfortable shoes and my hair swept up in a quick bun. I’ll add a vivid accessory to bring some life to the look, in this case, a brilliantly hued cobalt bag from Botkier and I’m out the door!

Shoshanna Maxi Dress OOTD

April 15, 2015

Can you say spring princess moment?! Because that’s for sure what I felt like as soon as I slid in to this silk maxi dress from Shoshanna. I received it from Rent the Runway with the tags still on it and fell in love with it’s vibrant print right away. I wore it to work and got so many compliments on it that I am totally thinking of renting it again in a couple of months for a warm-weather event.

Side note, I’ve had this bag out from RTR for about 2 weeks already and I just can’t seem to part with it! The color, it holds everything without being bulky, its easy to carry… It’s actually available on Amazon too, and I’m dangerously close to adding it to my cart!
