dangerously beautiful.

i own both the spiked sam edelman Lorissa & Adena loafer. note to everyone that wants to purchase these: DO NOT WEAR THE LOAFERS TO THE AIRPORT. they totally pulled me to the side to examine my loafers. it took THREE airport securities to analyze my shoe to make sure it wasn't a threat. ALSO, don't combine the loafer with the aldo clutch below because that would really get you into a lot of trouble... how do i know this? it happened to me.

i failed the luggage scanning portion of airport security. they saw the clutch and thought i had brass knuckles!! i'm so lucky they didn't just tackle me! i just told them they're really cute accessories + shoes and that i'm really not armed and dangerous. no joke, true story. i live the life of a rebel you know?

i attended the Erin Cole Couture Bridal Runway Show + Locale Magazine Release party at Seven Degrees last week with some girlfriends and had such an amazing time! it's been a good minute since i've been to one of these and it made me realize how much i missed the fashion/event planning world.. maybe it's time to go back.

loving my new salmon-y orange leggings from f21. they're actually not that hard to pair with.. i made scarlet play photographer after our little shopping trip. she did a pretty fabulous job no? a little blurry, but hey, she's all i had at the time.

Seeing Stars

can't go to LA and not want these..


i've lived in orange county practically my whole life and have never been to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. one of my new years resolutions is to experience all of the touristy things that CA has to offer and this was one of them. Hollywood is so lively and colorful at night.. and a little weird! people dress up as everything... i saw michael jackson, catwoman, darth vader and even DORA! it was definitely a great experience.. next on my list is to hike to the HOLLYWOOD sign!

bruno says it best!
