Conair Event

A few pictures form the Conair event I hosted last weekend with Jonathan Antin.

 Jonathan is the biggest sweetheart I've ever met. Every time a camera came around he would rush over and fix my hair so it looked just right. Kinda wish I could have him do that for me all the time.

Hopefully I can figure out how to use all these amazing Conair products so my hair can be something other than messy, braided, or in a bun.

Last night I had the pleasure of hosting a little FNO event at Tory Burch on Robertson Blvd. The boutique is a charming little space with the best of Tory Burch. They have the Fall 2011 collection almost in it's entirety, and let me tell you, the collection is as amazing in store as it was when I saw it walk the runway last season. A huge thank you to the Tory Burch team for being so sweet and welcoming.

Here's a little teaser video I put together of the collection.

FNO with Tory Burch and Late Afternoon

If you're going to be out for FNO in LA, pop by the Tory Burch store on Robertson and say hi!

I'll be munching on Korean BBQ from the Kogi BBQ truck, snapping photos, and offering up style advice 6-8pm.

A quick rainy day photo shoot. It started raining the moment Sam and I met up for our lunch date, but I couldn't let it spoil my plans.
Sometimes you just have to work with what you have, especially when you work full time while also trying to run a blog.
I'm in love with these boots that Need Supply gifted me. I never saw myself as a combat-style type boot girl, but these have totally given new possibilities to my wardrobe.
They're the perfect cure for overdressing.

Here are some photos from the Art of Fashion Foundation competition fashion show.
The Art of Fashion Foundation is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to international cultural exchanges through a variety of events meant to facilitate critical thinking among artists, designers, scholars and students.

The foundation puts on their annual competition to expose
and support emerging fashion design students from all over the world. The foundation
offers internships and scholarships to the winners of the competition,
while introducing them to industry professionals.

These are just a few of my favorites, but I truly enjoyed all of the creative designs that came down the runway.

Ok, not a huge photo post like promised.

Crappy weather has really been cramping my style.

finally...

I finally got my hands on a few photos from the Boy Meets Girl fashion show I walked in.

It was an interesting experience. Stacy knows how to put on a great show. Although I had a lot of fun, I don't think I'll be doing anything like that again.

I ran into some funny little celebrities backstage, a lot of Housewives, Entourage and even Jersey Shore(?!) castmates.
I also ran into Danny and David Roberts. Danny had designed a couple of beautiful dresses for the other designer in the show.
Here's his sketch of one of the designs.

Update: Some of you have been asking why I wouldn't want to walk in a show again. It's just not for me, too many people and cameras. I like watching the runway shows.

Getting Kozy

The other night, the girls (Jennie, Laura, and Jen) and I went out to a Ports 1961 presentation, followed by a night of debauchery at our favorite dive bar, Kozy Kar.

The bar has waterbed booths, stiff drinks and a stolen VW van inside, ie dive bar perfection.
