The End of Wedding Style for 2010

Saturday was our last wedding for 2010. We have a nice long break until July 2011. It was a very fun and beautiful wedding. We had a great time with family and friends. The food was yummy, the decor was gorgeous and the ballroom was amazing.

On the Catwalk...Two Weeks, Two Weddings

Let me start by apologizing for my long absence from the blogger world. I was really sick and my personal life has been taking a lot more of my time and energy these days. To make it up to you all, you get two looks in one post today! We had two weddings to attend in two weeks. At the first wedding I was so ridiculously sick, I don't know how I managed to even get dressed. The second wedding was fun and I think I saw everyone I haven't seen in the last five years. We have one more wedding coming up, then a nice break until July 2011. Then it starts all over again :)

Wedding #1


Wedding #2




Look #1
DVF strapless black wool dress, bought from Nordstrom in 2004.
YSL black patent Tributes
Louis Vuitton balck epi clutch (not pictured)
Rhinestone flower ring from Forever 21

Look #2
Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, bought from Net-A-Porter in 2008.
Christian Louboutin Titi in multi glitter.
Louis Vuitton black epi clutch (not pictured)

As you can all see there is a pattern of shopping in my closet for both of these looks. There is a lot on my "Want List" and a new dress for every wedding did not make the cut. I recycled and did a little mix and match with some previous looks. The hubs was thrilled I didn't run out to buy a new dress, but he has officially banned the Marc Jacobs dress from coming back out for at least two years!

Happy Wednesday.

On the Catwalk...Fundraising Fashion Show

Saturday was our Church's annual Fashion show and pop-up boutique. It was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake Village. I had never been there before and it was beautiful! I bumped into Kris Jenner in the lobby, which was some what exciting lol. We said hello and I refrained from inviting her to our event. She was really sweet and looked so fab! I on the other hand, was suffering from a painful eye irritation so I attended the event sans make up and in my glasses. I hope I pulled off the effortless, but fabulous "just threw something on" look.









One with the glasses




What I'm wearing:
DVF Fleurette dress in Pink Wing

Happpy Halloween everyone! Stay stylish and be safe!

On the Catwalk...@ Rockwell

Friday night was our Best Man's birthday. We celebrated with about 100 of his closest friends at Rockwell in Hollywood. It's always fun to see everyone, but I was also excited to wear my new Elizabeth & James blazer with my new Rebecca Taylor leopard tank. Thanks to a small collection of Neiman's gift cards I had acquired, these purchases came out to be better then a "buy one get one free" deal.







The quality of these two pics are not great and my head is kind of chopped off in one, but I still love them because one of my besties decided to give me a little photoshoot :)




What I'm wearing:
Elizabeth & James white blazer from Neiman's
Rebecca Taylor leopard tank from Neiman's
Shiney black leggings from American Apparel
Christian Louboutin Madame Butterfly booties- last seen here
Black Louis Vuitton epi clutch


Not in a very chatty mood today, it's Monday, it's raining, I'd rather be home watching re-runs of The O.C. and the original 90210.....

On the Catwalk...Engagement Style

Saturday night was one of my very best friend's engagement party. She was one of my bridesmaids and we've known each other for YEARS. Bonus, her fiance is also one of my good friends and the hubs and him have a little bromance going on.
It was a gorgeous SoCal night and everything was so beautiful. Forgive me for the lack of scenery pictures. Sky high heels, champagne and grass do not work with me very well. I tried to stay in one area as long as possible and I'm really proud of myself for not falling down once.
We had a fabulous night with close friends, dancing, toasting and celebrating. So happy for the beautiful couple, can't wait for the wedding!







What I'm wearing:
Catherine Malandrino Silk Asymmetrical Ruched dress
Christian Louboutin nude patent Bianca's
Louis Vuitton black epi clutch
Alexis Bittar earrings

Happy Monday!

On the Catwalk....Company Gala

Saturday night was my company's 20th Anniversary Gala. It was a great event, the venue was beautiful and the planning committee really did a fabulous job. There were over 500 people in attendence and it's always nice to see everyone dressed up and outside of work.
The whole night flew by very quickly, but hubs my wonderful photographer did manage to take a few quick pics of my outfit.









What I'm wearing:
Marc by Marc Jacobs "Kitty" dress
Jimmy Choo "Samoa" cage sandals
Louis Vuitton epi clutch

Sorry for such a short post, but my real job is getting in the way today and I wanted to get this up before I head out for a business trip
tomorrow.

Happy Monday!

Fashion's Night Out, LA Part 2

Hi everyone! It has been ages since my last post I know. Before I get into my night at the DVF Fshion's Night Out event, check out the first half of my night on Fashion Face!

So after dragging the hubs around Beverly Center for a few hours and sitting through a fashion show (thank you baby), we headed over to Melrose, to check out the DVF event.




Quite a few people there and more arriving throughout the night. They had a bar set up with Champagne, White wine, water, cupcakes and little appetizers. One of the best food spreads we'd seen all night.

Me sipping Champagne...yes out of a pink can with a pink straw, so cute


Pretty stylish crowd as expected, the sales associates were not as friendly as they normally are but I'm sure they were pretty tired from smiling and greeting all night long.









I was really hoping to buy something, since the invite said there would be a gift with purchase. I was totally disappointed to find out the gift was a DVF eye mask. Sorry but while I appreciate designer goods, I could buy an eye mask from Target for $2.99. If I'm spending over $300, I'd like something a little more fab to keep as a memento of Fashion's Night Out.

Overall, it was a fun and exhausting night. Strutting around in 6 inch heels can be quite a workout.
Hubby's reward for putting up with it all? Going to Hot Wings Cafe for a very late dinner :)

Special thanks to Erika for asking me to do a guest post on Fashion Face.
