a current affair

last weekend i attended A Current Affair: Pop-up Vintage Marketplace at the Cooper Building in Los Angeles and it was amazingggg. not only did i score some fantastic pieces of Alkemie jewelry but i was fortunate enough to get to see an exhibit styled by emmy award winner, David Zyla!  he has worked in costuming for the entertainment world for over 20 years and i was totally awestruck by his fabulous looks created with these beautiful vintage pieces. check out some of the detailing that made these outfits sing!!

how wonderful are theyyyyy?!?! i am so happy i had the chance to expeirence them!! if you would like to see more {um, i suggest you DO} check out Kelsi Smith's interview with David himself {here} and keep your eye out for his styling on ABC shows and broadway!! enjoy!! x

market week

vest: THEORY - dress: VENA CAVA for AQUA - shoes: JEFFREY CAMPBELL - purse: FURLA

here's a quick street style shot compliments of Kelsi from our LA adventure! it was fantastically hot and sunny and i managed to tromp around all day {7 hours...} in my 6 inch JC's. also the debut of this VENA CAVA for AQUA {bloomingdales} silk dress from fall 2010 - very comfy but just a littttttle too booby...like the print though. thoughts? happy friday!!

CMC runway

i am honored to say that i had the opportunity to attend the CMC's Contemporary Collections Runway Show for summer 2011 {thank you Kelsi!!} and it was amazing. the breezy fabrics and short hemlines looked fabulous on the concrete runway and it even made me wish for a little more sunshine! 


this show featured six designers - Darling, Blue Pearl {a brand new sports wear line introduced by Allen Schwartz of A.B.S.}, Amour Vert, Eva Varro, Hippietiques and Lindi. each designer's looks highlighted the use of color and pattern for the upcoming season and i am in love with all the CORALS and GREENS that i keep seeing everywhere {how awesome is that coral Missoni-esque sheath!?}!!!  


another aspect of the show that i am happy to say was totally consistent throughout each designer was the presence of SKYSCRAPER heels -- looks like teetering platforms are here to stay {!!!} -- also very dark extended eye make up {which is sort of tricky but i'm working on it...}.


all and all the day was FANTASTIC and it was even more fun to catch up/hang out with Kelsi {Dedicated Follower of Fashion} and Natalie {Pursuit of Cute}!! Thank you girls - and watch out for some more posts from our wonderful day!! x
