New York Fashion Week Day 1

I wanted to share my fashion week outfits in order so here we are, starting off with Day 1! I decided to keep it simple but bold with this striking red midi skirt, bold red lips and some fun floral sunglasses. My Sole Society pumps were comfortable enough to bear with me and all the walking through the day while still adding a chic visual element to the look! We had a busy first day starting off with the BCBGMaxazria runway show, Jay Godfrey’s presentation and then the adorable Desigual show. I had a quick outfit change only to head straight out to the Lord & Taylor x Refinery 29 event, StyleList NYFW Kickoff Party and dinner with Sheryl & Ruben.

Apologies for my lack of posting on here but Chris and I came home from New York last week to a computer that refused to wake up 🙁 after taking the monster apart, Chris realized the power supply gave out on us so after a couple trips to various electronic stores and an Amazon order later, he was able to fix it. Success! I’m back in action 🙂 hope you guys missed me! Lol!!

Fun fact – did you know it’s still Summer? Fall doesn’t technically start until later this month… and yet here we all are, claiming yesterday was the end of Summer SMH! Lol!! How was your Labor Day weekend? We spent most of it catching up on work at home and getting ready for NYFW… which is in barely two days. Where did all the time go?! Are you excited? I know I am 🙂 If you’re not already – follow me on Instagram @HautePinkPretty to see all the NYFW fun!

Thanks so much for visiting!! Have a great Monday! 😉

What To Wear

The Griffith Observatory

White House Black Market Sleeveless Cut-in Blouson High-Low Maxi Dress | ShoeDazzle Bassa Sandals | Hermes Hapi Bracelet | Express Watch

The last time we visited The Griffith Observatory was this post in 2012 – almost exactly two years ago! The very first time we ever went? This even older post in 2011, six months after we moved here to LA. It wasn’t even an outfit post at The Observatory, either, but it includes a pretty shot I took there the same night. It’s so interesting looking back at past locations and blog posts, especially when so much has changed since then. Some of it makes me laugh at myself, almost wanting to delete some of them (out of sheer embarrassment) but mostly, it makes me appreciate where I am now even more and it makes me excited for what the future holds! That’s what this post is all about – looking towards the future 🙂

The Bridal Shower

July made our beautiful flower bouquets and brought the cutest tea sets to display for our centerpieces! I made these adorable signs (complete with instagram hashtag reminders, of course) as well as super funny Marriage Advice Libbs for guests to fill out for the bride!

Earlier this year, my best friend, April, asked me to be her Matron of Honor and what an honor it was to accept! Well, time sure does fly by because her wedding is now right around the corner! A couple weeks ago, I co-hosted a bridal shower for her alongside 2 fellow Bridesmaids, July & Thyta. We had originally planned to have it at the beautiful Jrdn restaurant in San Diego but unfortunately, due to the size of our party, we had a change of plans to relocate the event. We ended up having the bridal shower at Thyta’s house for a small intimate gathering. We busted out our DIY skills, all pitching in to assist with sweets, good eats, beverages, games & the decor + help from the fabulous Bella Chic Creations who made us the cutest batch of pom poms! Studio Mucci also sent us an amazing tassel garland but USPS mis-delivered it so I didn’t receive it until a day too late – what a bummer. C’est la vie! We also played a few games including Take a Ring and Pin the Kiss which were hilarious! Despite a few hiccups here and there, we all had such a fun time! At the end, everyone got to take home a party favor provided by NYC Cosmetics!

The beautiful Jrdn Restaurant at the Tower23 Hotel

Inside Jrdn‘s stunning Wine Room, the original venue for our festivities!

I made this cute DIY “Cheers” Banner Garland that we tied up above our bar area using cardstock, printed clothespins (like these but bigger) and satin ribbon!

We displayed the food, utensils, sweets and mimosa & sangria bar in an L-shape to make it easier to navigate around. Don’t worry, we had infused water, too!

I chopped up tons of different fruits for the infused water and our Mimosa & Sangria bar. How adorable is the sign I made for it? I also bought these pretty straws that went perfectly with our theme and colors!

Since I was driving down to San Diego from LA, I had to stop by and bring some delicious Cheese Rolls from Porto’s.

Pin the Kiss… on Adam Levine! That’s April top left, I’m at the top right, my mom on the bottom left (how cute is she with her kissy face?!) and April’s mom on the bottom right. This game was such a big hit! After a guest would pin their kiss, they signed it making a super sweet keepsake for the bride afterwards! Plus, she loves Adam… I know, I know… who doesn’t!?

This is the gorgeous Tassel Garland that Studio Mucci sent! So sad we didn’t get to use it for the shower – how perfect would it have been?!

July made this Bride to Be sign using a pretty frame from Ikea – LOVE!

Take a Ring! Everyone got to pick a cute ring when they arrived but you couldn’t say the word “Wedding”. If you caught anyone saying it, you take their ring(s) away and whoever had the most rings at the end won!
