fashion

an L.A. dream (part 2)

Snaps from the Lucky Magazine’s Lucky Fabb (Fashion & Beauty Blogger) conference at the beautiful Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica. Had so much fun listening to great speakers on the business of blogging and fashion and mingling with fellow bloggettes and friends right on the ocean shore!

the outfit: Joie linen top, Trina Turk ‘Talia’ silk pants, Zara heels, Kooba ‘Camden’ purse, Ray Ban aviators, floral crown made by me

charming and hilarious Elizabeth Banks (check out her girl funny website here “I love things that make me giggle”) in an awesome Alexander McQueen dress and Jean-Michel Cazabat shoes

“I believe deeply in the power of resilience” -Zac Posen, great speaker and his business savvy is impressive

new gal pal Jenni of I Spy DIY (check out her new book here) and Kate Somerville on the entrepreneur panel- two girl power favorites

Mad Men’s costume designer Janie Bryant and BFF Kiernan Shipka (Sally Draper), loved hearing about Janie put together the color palettes for Sally and Betty’s costumes this season (in contrast to each other as Sally rebels against her mother) and how much Kiernan loves Style Rookie

my childhood fashion idol, Soleil Moon Frye (aka Punky Brewster): “I truly believe there’s never been a better time for female entrepreneurs”

A Fine Frenzy performing for us

A great day and a great experience overall, thanks Lucky!

Since baseball caps have had their moment, I have decided to bring back the baseball tee. Glammed up a bit, of course.

seeing the beauty

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

 A perfect for Spring men’s shawl collar sweater to throw over everything, my latest obsession Zara heels, and me in my new glasses I have been wearing around lately (you would never know this because I always wear contacts but I’m pretty blind). xx

Us Northern Californians have it good. It’s just a hop skip and a jump on a party bus to wine country. Ten degree warmer weather, luscious gardens made for picnicing and plenty of wine to go around. Perfect Saturday birthday activity for my girl Heather. Happy Birthday H! xx

Hope you all had a Happy Happy Easter!
