east West

To kick off last weekend’s Refinery 29 East West Tag sale, a fine group of people got together at the Urban Outfitters / Space 15 Twenty pop-up in Hollywood for a night of shopping discounted designer goods, eating Umami Burger treats and listening to live music from the Like.  And as they do best, R29 brought out a fashionable crowd.

 

photo creds + see more shots from the evening here.

The night was hot, so I kept it comfy w vintage silk trousers, a Joie silk tank, Jeffrey Campbell heels and a vintage Etienne Aigner mini bucket purse I picked up from VintiqueLA.

Pre-party I assembled a gift bag of mod LA Vintage Exchange wares for the stylish ladies of the Like and was excited to see drummer Tennessee Thomas emerge from backstage wearing a nautical anchor bandana I had included in the package.  In fact, I was so excited I grabbed her for a few snapshots!  An unlikely move on my part.  Thx to Suzy of Rossmore LA for her camera and pro-photo skills.

caught, Shopping!

Just spotted myself on the Space 15 Twenty blog. I was there to help out, but I couldn’t resist checking out the fine selection of Duskin!

vintageful Yard sale

Drop by on Saturday for some DEALS. This is my first big clearance sale so expect tons to shop- most under $10!

now, And later

Scents.
now: The Jonathon Adler-like packaging grabbed me, but the fresh, crisp scent of MOR Nordica perfume in DALA sold me. I love this smell- my only wish is that the bottle was bigger.

later: Anytime I pass by a FRESH store I stop to drench myself in the clean & natural scent of Cannabis Santal. I noticed especially with this scent wearing it on the skin vs. smelling made a big different. This bottle will definitely be my next try.

Jewelry
now: My newest Rossmore LA addition, the Four Square necklace in oxidized silver (below a gold & silver version). I picked this little # up from designer and lovely friend Suzy Lequeux at Coachella this year.

later: You can never have too much Rossmore, so next up on my list, the Say Anything necklace will be the perfect addition to my layered look.
Shoes
now: It’s back to sandal weather in LA, so I picked up a pair of the ecote Sunburt Sandals at Urban in need of an affordable, COMFY flat to wear day & night. I love the white w gold beading, substantial, but not too much. And for $38 they’re a great deal.

later: The Chloë Sevigny for Opening Ceremony CO2 Buckle boots / shoes / sandals kick ASS. During a recent NYC trip my friend Danielle modeled them for me at the OC location in the Ace Hotel and confirmed this style is a must. The casual + dressy shoe can replace pretty much everything in your current line-up. This particular pair are stunning, and way out of my budget

brown Vs. tan

Two sexy summer pumps up for grabs on ebay. Which do you prefer- the brown leather YSL peep toe pumps or natural suede Manolo Blahnik heels? Starting at .99 cents each you could probably swing both. Photobucket Bid HERE  Photobucket Bid HERE
