    Joico’s Turn Heads Event – SLS Hotel Beverly Hills

    Joico's TURNHEADS Event at the SLS Hotel - Sheryl Luke WalkInWonderland, Joo Kim LoveJooKim, An Dyer HautePinkPretty

    I attended Joico‘s Turn Heads event last week at the beautiful SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills with some of my favorite fellow blogger friends (Sheryl & Joo). We had the opportunity of learning more about their latest products (especially their Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex technology) and chat with the Joico team including International Artistic Director, Damien Carney. He’s kind of a huge deal 😉 just sayin’! Anyway, we had a blast – the event itself was beautiful! Yummy bites displayed right when we walked in, including a pretty color coordinated sweets bar that matched the gorgeous Joico hair models! We also enjoyed frozen sorbet like cocktails by the mixologist manning the bar. Of course, we also took home a fabulous set of Joico products, too!

    I was particularly fascinated with the Bio-Advanced Peptide Complex – this patent-pending DNA technology restores peptides that are lost over time as hair becomes damaged. The DNA-based breakthrough restores the peptides and wraps each individual strand protecting it for over 25 washes! What I personally loved was that, when I used the products (prior to attending this event) on my hair in this post, putting my hair in a high donut bun, I was so surprised to see that after taking my bun apart, brushing my hair out – my locks were brand new again! Fresh and wavy, what would normally take me washing my hair, blowdrying and restyling to do. The hair products don’t leave your hair flaky and gross when you brush it out – even the 4 layers of hair spray I packed on when putting my hair up! It was amazing and after actually learning what it’s all about and how Joico does it – I’m even more in love. SO GENIUS!

    I promised an outfit post the next day and here we are, two days after the fact – ahhh! How busy things have been! Sorry for the lag guys and gals 🙂 If you’re following me on Instagram; you’ve probably seen the craziness that’s ensued with my schedule this week. To top it off, I’m slammed through the entire month and March is already quickly filling up. WHERE HAS ALL THE TIME GONE!? Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a blast along the way. Better busy than bored, right?! (I feel like I’ve totally said that here before…)

    Anyway, as promised (just a tad late), my outfit post carrying this gorgeous bag as well as wearing this stunning set of jewelry by Coco Rocha for Senhoa, worn here, but in a much tamer look 😉 . I wanted to wear it with a casual cool outfit and these Dittos jeans were perfect for that. They’re so comfortable, no pinching and no cutting off circulation lol they fit just right and the denim is so pretty! I let the accessories speak for themselves, dressing up the outfit.

    Melie Bianco Villette

    Ahhhh the Villette! This bag was determined to elude me 😉 I originally fell in love with her last August when I first laid eyes on the Villette in Melie Bianco’s Fall/Winter line book. The studs, the shape & the quality of Melie Bianco’s vegan leather was such a stunning combination. Unfortunately for me, the Villette wasn’t available yet at that time (but I did get this gorgeous gal instead). So, when I was searching for the perfect bag to accompany me to WWDMAGIC this coming season, I spotted the Villette again, this time with gunmetal studs and in gorgeous vibrant colors like melon and this blue for Melie Bianco’s Spring/Summer line book! I mean, doesn’t she just scream Vegas?! I cannot wait to run around the tradeshows with this beauty. Especially since she also has an adjustable shoulder/cross-body strap. Edgy, feminine, rockstar perfection!

    Saying I’m obsessed with this dress would be an understatement. It exudes my quintessential style – on trend, a little edgy and super girly! Like, if I designed a dress – it would look something like this 🙂 I love anything unexpectedly leather (or faux) and absolutely adore the laser eyelet cutouts and the flirty feminine shape. Plus, this is what I wore to brunch on Sunday and my husband teased me the whole day, calling me his sexy doily LOL. I kind of do look like a doily – a shiny (faux) leather, doily! 😛

    Sunday Brunch at Petrossian West Hollywood

    HautePinkPretty Brunch at Petrossian Paris WeHo West Hollywood Egg Royale and Champagne

    Petrossian’s AMAZING Egg Royale – I could easily eat a dozen of these  delicious little guys!

    So, this isn’t the first time Petrossian has made an appearance on my blog (previously seen here and here) – after all, it is my favorite LA restaurant! What makes this post extra special to me is – we’ve always dined there for dinner but this was our first time having brunch at Petrossian! In addition to having a delicious caviar filled brunch, I also had GREAT LIGHTING! Yay!! 🙂 So you can finally see what I’m so obsessed with under pretty natural lighting as opposed to the grainy shots I shared before.

    Salivating yet? So am I. I might need to go back for brunch again this weekend… or happy hour this week 😉 lol

    Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend!
