LA Woman: The Golden Globes

Looks like The Golden Globes are just around the corner! The other night, I was invited to attend a Golden Globes event to kick off the awards show this week! I brought along my very good friend, Kelli, and I’m so happy she came…we had the best time! At Cecconi’s, a gorgeous restaurant in West Hollywood, it was a whole other world. We ate too many mini bites of pizza and had one too many glasses of champagne. Let’s just say it was one very “Old Hollywood” night. I went with my flapper, vintage inspired Of Two Minds dress. That sheer back is just too amazing! Keeping the look very simple and fresh, I didn’t wear much makeup at all. We danced the night away, went a bit photobooth crazy, and of course spotted some of our favorite tv characters. Nights like these never seem real…

Take That Zorro

(Fascue cape dress, Vintage Chanel bag, Dear Fieldbinder boots, Urban hat, Saint Claude dove skull necklace)

You know Zorro right? Spanish for “fox,”also representing the black-clad, mysterious nobleman making his way through California, defending all the land’s people? This dashing lad may just be my new fashion icon. Snapped on a side street in downtown LA, I think I could at least pass as his female partner in crime. Normally for castings, I stick to the classic jeans and blouse look, but weather was just too amazing and so I decided to slip into this tiny cape dress from one of my newest blog sponsors, Fascue. Stay tuned, as their site will be launching very soon and you, yourself can play Zorro hehe! This piece, paired with a grungy hat I snagged at Urban for $5, and the only pair of boots I brought back with me from NYC (you’ll be seeing these a lot), made me feel as if I were ready to take a trip to some far-away land like Europe…Spain to be exact. But looks like overseas travels will have to wait this month, as I’m stuck in California for another week due to some shoots here. It’s no wonder everyone’s coming out here for shoots in the winter. When you can dart out the door in nothing but a black cape, you know the living’s good.

Btw, I’ve been in a Stones mood all week. Play it baby!

Play Ball

(unknown baseball jacket, Hallelu blouse, Marc Jacobs denim shorts, Vintage Chanel bag)

My sister came home for the holidays with this amazing baseball jacket in her bag! Quickly I threw it on and due to it’s perfect fit, she let me have it! I was looking all over on it, trying to find the tag, but because she snagged it at a crazy sample sale in Philadelphia, the brand remains unknown. I’m not one to follow trends, but I have to admit…the whole baseball look is too adorable. It’s tough, but sweet, and reminds me so much of my high school days. I find any sort of old school uniform jacket cute for throwing over anything. Here I went super casual in a simple blouse and a great pair of cut-off denim shorts. Making my way through a local park I used to hang out in after school years ago, I became nostalgic. There are too many memories when I’m home. Looking back now with a completely different mindset makes me realize how simple life was back then! I can’t believe I used to ever worry!
