Blogging + Fashion + Design in LA!

Last night, I had one of the most fun nights in Hollywood that I've had a in a while! Ashlina invited me to go with her to the Kelly Wearstler book signing event at Trina Turk in Los Angeles. 

I've never seen Kelly Wearstler in person or been to Trina Turk's store, so it was a night of firsts for me! I'm very familiar with Trina's clothing (I did a post on her Peacock Feather dress) and her home accessory line, but I had never actually stepped inside her lovely store. 

Both Trina and her store were very inviting! It just happens to be that Kelly Wearstler designed Trina's store in 2003. The decor is still fresh and relevant despite it being 7 years old! Kelly did a great job picking out furnishings and fixtures that wouldn't lose their luster or shock value after a year or so. 

I felt as if I were walking into a pink glass of champagne! The walls were covered in a soft pink wall covering with a wood texture, the tiles on the floor were also in a soft pink hue, and the light fixtures looked like champagne bubbles floating around the room! Trina told us that the soft pink really makes her clothes look good on shoppers and it brings out the rosi-ness in everyone's skin (hmmm....maybe I'll paint my bathroom/dressing area a light shade of rose!). 

Not only was it my first night meeting these huge icons in the fashion and design industry, it was also my first night meeting these lovely fellow LA design bloggers - Laura & Eileen, both of whom who in the Interior Design industry and share their passion with us through their blogs! Laura (Shop Design Spark) was so sweet to bring us all bracelets from her online store. So cute!

We met the girls at Sur, in West Hollywood. It was my second time to this quaint little restaurant, and let me tell you, I'm glad I went back! The host was extremely gracious and gave us a little tour of the place and the whole staff seemed to just jump off the pages of latest fashion magazine! 

The night was filled with old friends, new friends, blogging, fashion and design...couldn't get much better in my book! Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy the last bits of summer before Autumn falls before us and we're all decked out in fashion like this!
