Moods of Norway Celebrates 3 Years on Robertson Blvd.
Stopped by Moods of Norway on Robertson Blvd on Thursday for one of their infamous parties — this time celebrating the 3 Year Anniversary of their boutique on the popular Los Angeles shopping street. The party was completed with VikingFjord Vodka cocktails, Champagne by Nicolas Feuillatte, an awesome Border Grill food truck, an interactive photobooth and some cool tunes spun by celebrity DJ Becka Diamond. I have never seen so many dapper men donning awesome pocket squares under one roof.

Shop N’ Style at Ted Baker
Yesterday Ted Baker held a shopping event hosted by fashion blogger, Sydne Summer, where guests enjoyed shopping the new summer collection while receiving style advice from Sydne — who’s outfit was literally a woman’s interpretation of what I was wearing. Even our jewelry matched! Which proves once again that great stylish minds think alike.
The evening festivities also included, champagne, music and candy — lots of candy — a colorful bar filled with candy to be exact.
Sweet!

Eiman Hamza Collection
This weekend my friends and I hit up the fashionable launch of the Eiman Hamza Collection at Fred Segal in Santa Monica. The afternoon of champagne was sweetened with mini cupcakes (I can’t ever have just one) and serenaded with live music by the band American Primitive — and of course great fashion. Duh!
Eiman Hamza is bringing a fresh new approach to womenswear with her signature collection. It offers comfortable silhouettes made of airy fabrics, bold but not obtrusive colors, and quirky-slash-preppy details like collars on dresses with pleated skirts, bows and lace headbands. The two main colors of the collection that stood out to me were tangerine and mint, which remind me of a delicious swirl of peach and pistachio sorbet. Who wouldn’t love it? Exactly!
The line also has a bit of a sporty kick, which is ideal for the active girl who likes to be stylish even if she’s breaking a sweat. All-in-all, a collection well conceptualized, designed, and executed. Kudos!

The Element Emerald Collection
Last week I attended the introduction of The Element Emerald Collection — a premium quality men’s lifestyle line that incorporates environmentally friendly materials.
The event was hosted by the Ron Robinson boutique at Fred Segal on Melrose Ave. The event also showcased a live acoustic performance by Ray Barbee, a premium scotch tasting, and art by Thomas Campbell, Brian Gaberman and Danny Hess.
Fashion that makes a difference.
Doctrine Jeans partnered with a handful of bloggers they think are creative and totally kick ass to customize a pair of “festival-ready” jean shorts. I was one of them!
Coachella is this weekend and it’s no secret that a tank and a great pair of denim cutoffs are the ultimate festival uniform, so here we go…
It’s always a good idea to lay out all your materials so you know exactly what you’re working with.
We know we want shorts, so let’s get to cutting…

H&M Gets Lost in L.A.
The latest editorial from H&M, titled Lost in L.A., features top model Daria Werbowy in printed bohemian ensembles and was shot right here in Los Angeles.
What I found ironic was the title of the story, considering some people do come to Los Angeles and get “lost” in the Hollywood life chasing a dream.

‘Vital Voices’ hosted by DVF
Last night Diane von Furstenberg and C Magazine hosted an evening of inspiration and empowerment in support of Vital Voices — an organization who’s mission is to identify and bring forth the extraordinary women around the world and invest in accelerating peace and prosperity in their communities.
Diane is (and has been for years) a global voice of empowerment for women. She’s one of the most respected names in fashion and she’s used that power to spread her firm belief in the inherent strength of every woman, and while her fashions are drool-worthy, this spirit right here is what makes Diane more than a designer. It makes her a superwoman.
The night was filled with champagne, hors d’oeuvres (OMG they had French macaroons - Yum!), inspirational speeches, and an amazing performance by one of my favorite bands, A Fine Frenzy. Singer Alison Sudol, wearing DVF, serenaded us with her amazing vocal performance and told us a little about her new record coming out this Fall. Click Here to see a short video of their performance last night.
