    TRUFFL Fashion x Food Dinner

    TRUFFL Menu

    A couple weeks ago, I had the amazing opportunity of attending a Fashion x Food dinner party by TRUFFL, a private members’ club for individuals who appreciate the art of living well. It was truly an experience to remember. The night consisted of an 8-course fashion inspired feast prepared by Viceroy’s executive chef Tony DiSalvo, amazing wine pairings from Bonhams Wine Auction House as well as a live jazz performances by critically-acclaimed artist Claude Hall. It was held at the mysteriously beautiful Guerilla Atelier, here in LA’s Arts District.

    I had such a fantastic time enjoying a beautiful meal, drinking incredible wines, listening to amazing music, spending time with friends & meeting new people, all while being surrounded by stunning displays of fashion – what a night to remember! Thank you so much for having me, TRUFFL!

    Date Night Edgy What To Wear

    Baroque Blue

    Peplum is hands down, my favorite silhouette the past few seasons (obviously) and I’m so excited that it’ll still be going strong for Spring/Summer 2014! This gorgeous Torn by Ronny Kobo skirt had me at first sight. My favorite color of late (and the 2014 Pantone color of the year – Dazzling Blue), this skirt is such a gorgeous statement piece! I love that I can pair it with a silk blouse for a more polished look or a lace crop top (like this style that I just bought from Express last week) for some serious sex appeal! I decided to wear it with a cool Chaser tank for a more edgy chic vibe since we were going to a private dinner party in the Art District of Downtown LA. I didn’t want to be overly matchy matchy so I combined the outfit with some gorgeous Samantha Wills jewelry, bringing in different blues and earthy tones – I really love how it makes all the different blues in my look POP! I wore this outfit to an amazing event by TRUFFL! I can’t wait to tell & show you guys more about it in my next post 😉 it was foodie meets fashion heaven!

    Take Your Shot

    Dodgers Walking

    A quick bite to eat before the Dodgers game a few weeks back – wearing: Squared Aviator Sunglasses courtesy of BCBGMaxazria, H&M Cobalt Blue Blazer (similar here or here), V Neck Tee courtesy of Michael Stars, Camille Laser Cut Satchel courtesy of Sole Society, Of Royalty Chain Necklace & Schooled in Studs Belt courtesy of ShopLately, Zara Camo Pants, Emma Boots courtesy of ShoeMint

    A few weeks ago,  AT&T sent me their Nokia Lumia 1020 for their Take Your Shot campaign. “[This] campaign is taking it to the next level, encouraging young, aspiring filmmakers to shoot a movie using nothing more than the video camera on their phone. The winners of AT&T’s “Take Your Shot” campaign filmed their short films using a smart phone under the mentorship of famed Asian-American filmmakers Jon M. Chu, Freddie Wong and Wong Fu Productions.” The 3 short films will launch during an online film festival during the week of 10/21! AT&T asked me to use the Nokia Lumia 1020, which has a killer 41 mpx camera that I’m obsessed with, to capture my passions & experiences. This was perfect since I’m a photo junkie 🙂 taking pictures of everything that catches my eyes! My life passion is obviously fashion & style so I took the phone with me to fun events I attended the past couple weeks, snapping outfit photos, style details, decor, and just general fun! These are some of my favorite moments:

    Dodgers Suite

    United Suite seats at the Dodgers vs Giants game!

    This little project definitely made me realize how blessed I am to get to experience so many fun things in the fashion realm on a regular basis! I love going through photos I take every few weeks and reflecting on these life moments. Do you ever do that?

    Hope you’re all having a great Monday!

    New York Fashion Week SS14 Recap

    This New York Fashion Week trip was such a whirlwind! Luckily, AT&T sent me the pretty fun LG Optimus G Pro as part of their new campaign, Take Your Shot (more on that in another upcoming post!) I received it right in time to bring it with me and capture my experiences in NYC! I hope you enjoy this NYFW photo diary 😀

    JetBlue

    I took a redeye flight with my girl, Joo, and we enjoyed a mini kick off to NYFW with some oh so fancy wine & cheese LOL! Thanks, JetBlue!

    Ted Baker

    Our first day out there, we did some shopping with Ted Baker (love this pink coat!) and finished it off with lunch at Vitae! So yummy!

    Frame

    We also previewed the FRAME Denim collection.

    Editorialist Launch Party

    …and then we ended our first NYC night at the Editorialist Launch Party!

    bcbg

    The very first official morning of NYFW Day 1 – we managed to get up, ready and out in time to make it to BCBGMaxazria backstage and their runway show! It was an amazing combination of  menswear inspired pieces with clean lines using light airy fabrics in neutral tones & pops of prints. Watch the entire show below 🙂
    (I need those pants at 7:04!)

    Kristen

    After BCBG, I ran into my girl Kristen from Glitter ‘N Glue and had to snap a shot of us in almost matching haute PINK!

    Tadashi

    Next up was Tadashi Shoji’s Spring runway show – loved the sheer fabrics, timeless silhouettes and Spring plaids! I adore the feminine curve enhancing dress at 7:49 in the video below with the mix of subtle tartan and lace!

    50e38c9a170311e39cb522000a1f9215_7

    Right afterwards, we watched Desigual! I absolutely ADORED their non-traditional show! The models were so cute, skipping down the runway, twirling and blowing kisses! Definitely stick around for the finale in the video below 😉 I also loved that their collection was still full of bold prints but much more wearable this season!

    StyleList Runway

    We finished off NYFW Day 1 off with the StyleList x NMRKT Runway Show!

    Noon by Noor 96

    Day 2 of NYFW for us started off with Noon by Noor – I loved the combination of a burgundy leather pencil skirt and bold blouse at 4:12 & the adorable pair of shorts at 7:19 were to die for… but this stunning dazzling blue peplum dress was my favorite! I’m loving that peplum silhouettes are here for good! You can see it at 6:19 below.

    Afterwards, we headed down to Soho to meet with Bollare!

    Afterwards, we headed down to Soho to visit our favorites (like the beautiful Jennifer Heal pictured with us here) at Bollare!

    FS

    NYFW Day 2 came to a close with a luxurious dinner courtesy of the Four Seasons!

    Dreamdry

    The three of us enjoyed blow outs thanks to DreamDry the morning of NYFW Day 3

    We stopped by Vogue's Runway Retreat and checked out Brahmin's

    We were on our way to watch Mara Hoffman’s Spring 2014 show when we made a stop at Vogue’s Runway Retreat to check out Brahmin Atelier’s Gifting Suite! Love the new collections – especially the  animal print version of my favorite Brookline Satchel!

    How amazing are those killer braids & love Mara Hoffman’s signature bold mirrored prints, as always! I’m still day dreaming about the printed short set at 6:30!

    The shows were too close to make it to Herve'

    The shows were too close to make it to Herve Leger backstage, but we managed to get to our seats with time to spare! The collection was mind blowing with their notorious bandaged everything (except with a twist, unexpected bandaged tartan prints & fringe!), seductive cutouts and edgy gold zipper hardware details. I loved every single look. My favorite, though, was this cape jacket! You can see it in the video below at 1:21. I also loved the black and white jacket at 4:08 and short set at 7:31.

    NYFW Day 4 started off early with the AllSaints Spring 2014 Presentation (check out my instagram video of it here!)

    StyleList

    On our way back to Lincoln Center, we visited StyleList for a tour of their offices – love the decor in every room!

    We made it back in time for Tracy Reese - loved her

    We made it back in time for Tracy Reese – loved her mix of prints and the live music was so fun! I adored the fun flirty dress at 9:04!

    FashionWasHere

    Afterwards, I ran into (and finally met) my long time blogging friend Taliah from FashionWasHere.net! It was SO GREAT to meet her in person 🙂 we’ve both been virtual friends, commenting and supporting each others blogs for years now!

    Next up was the RewardStyle Rooftop party!

    CAM00082_2

    We had such a fun time! Here with Taye, Amber, Joo & Sheryl.

    Later that night, we also attended the SocialyteGala!

    DBA

    The next morning (NYFW Day 5) we got up bright and early for our DBA Gifting Suite appointment – one of the fun things I picked out were these BCBGMaxazria Square Aviator Sunglasses! They’ve quickly found themselves in heavy rotation.

    I unfortunately didn’t make it back in time for the Tommy Hilfiger show which was such a bummer but I love love love all the scuba pieces!!

    3x1 and AmyPie

    Afterwards, we visted 3×1 Denim where we customized our own pair of jeans and afterwards, made a few showroom visits where we met this little cutie, Amy Pie!! We ended the night off meeting with some wonderful friends for drinks & dinner.

    NYFW Day 6 started off with mimosa’s and sweet treats at the Olivia + Joy showroom!

    CAM00170_2

    We also got to preview their Spring 2014 collection – this clutch was my favorite!

    Colgate

    Then we stopped by the Colgate Beauty Bar where I had my hair braided! Loved their adorable Popsicle cocktails, too! We were supposed to squeeze in a few other shows but it was cutting it close to our flight back home so we ended up heading to the airport right afterwards.

    CJ

    … and I came home to this 🙂 the SWEETEST bouquet ever!

    Photos were all taken using the LG Optimus G Pro via Take Your Shot.
