BHLDN LA event

I'm apparently still about a week behind myself with posts but with my Kickstarter kicking into full gear ( I still need your help, incidentally!) I've been quite slow to edit photos.  

Last week I was lucky enough to attend a BHLDN fashion event celebrating their new shop within the Beverly Hills Anthropologie.  BHLDN (aka: "beholden") is a wedding centric off-shoot of Anthro.  While I am not in the market for a wedding specific one, I do love a good party dress! and was excited to see them in person.  So I ventured over to Beverly Hills, an area of town that, in all honestly, I avoid for the most part! I also wrangled my pal Danielle as my date for the night!

pretty snacks + photogs + fashionable attendees?... check!

beautiful venue + dj? ...check!

appropriate footwear? ...check & check!

some bubbly with a fancy floral straw? indeed!

And here are a few of the dresses...

Unfortunately, this one was probably my favorite but I couldn't get a really good shot of it...

I tried again (post show) by stalking the models at the photo-booth. ha! (I'm sure she'd forgive me for this candid shot, right? her bum looks great in the dress!)

Speaking of the photo-booth, the only shot I have of us is an particularly blah pic but you get the idea! Not sure we were quite ready! ;)

One more dress lovely dress and a beautiful model who willingly posed for us upon request!

If you are looking for a dress for pending nuptials you should check out BHLDN. They aren't exactly cheap but in the realm of wedding frocks they are fairly reasonable and definitely quite lovely!

back soon! x

Gal Friday!

Last Friday, at the tail end of the flu from hell, I stumbled over to The Loved One shop in Pasadena to say hello lovely Hannah who co-owns TLO and was in town for her shop's 2nd anniversary. In retrospect, I wish I had done a better job documenting it but I thought I'd share the few shots I did take because, as usual, it was a grand time!

I love this shop and never tire of hanging out there for hours on end drinking punch and trying on lovely frocks and frilly bits.  I've said it before but if you are in the area it is not to be missed!

a little evidence that I was, in fact, there ^

It all ended (for me anyway) with a little dance party before sneaking away to my bed for the evening... like a granny.  

I've gone to a few events this past week so I'll try my best to post more and, you know, be a real blogger! xM

PS: 20 days left of my Kickstarter Campaign (see previous post!) and we've still got a long way to go! Make a pledge if you can and/or pass it on to a friend who might enjoy my music! xo
