Oh Christmas Tree

Last week, before we all left town for the holidays, my friend from The 

Sche report had an intimate gathering for our closest friends to share some Christmas cheer before parting ways. She had the creative idea of an arts and crafts project we could all do (while sipping Manhattans and Egg Nog)....decorating her bare Christmas tree with photos she printed out of our best 2012 memories...which we turned into ornaments! We got to pick our favorite photo, and after transforming, write a special note on the back recalling a memory from the time...such a cool way to reflect on the year! There was allot of laughs and mod podge happening that night...can't believe it's Christmas day and 2013 is almost here!!!

 

 

Until 2013

Goodbye California....

En route to Dallas today....hoping the world doesn't end during my flight...it always feels good to get back home :) Looking forward to covering some ground while I'm there, from D-town to my college town of Austin and on down to San Antonio! I can feel that Southern accent coming back already ya'll!

Most Wonderful Time of the Year

December is flying by and I've been in the holiday spirit for what seems like awhile now - from the cold & crisp LA weather to Christmas shopping, sample sales, holiday parties, friends, concerts, my amazing team @ la models runway, gift giving, wine & holidays spirits, endless chocolate/sweets, present wrapping - the list goes on. While it's been a wonderful month, I'm looking forward to my upcoming holiday travel plans and getting this show on the road...

 My new favorite faux fur vintage find (you'll see below) will definitely be the first thing tossed in my enormous suitcase....it's like wearing a  giant super soft teddy bear.

Only a couple more days left in LA...!!

High Fashion

Last week I attended 'High Fashion' of the L{A-LIST} trendy/hot spot events which celebrate design, art, photography, wellness and technology. Best part...it was produced by a very good friend of mine I was excited to support! This particular installation focused on Russian born fashion designer Aliona Kononova, from Milan, presenting her most recent 2013 collection for the first time in Los Angeles. I fell in love with the black and white striped dress you will see below...there were actually quite a few of us drooling over it! The evening took place at C Project, and also featured unique art, statues, furniture and other interesting items to purchase. My favorite part (aside from the life size horse I wanted to climb on) had to be the guy in charge of hitting the Cong every hour....very serious. My olive green maxi dress, lace up boots and trusty leather jacket were just the ticket to be comfortable but still fit in with those on the dressier side...
