Pix From Last Night: The Forever 21 Launch Party Celebrating Brian Lichtenberg + Forever 21 Collabo!

 Three Brown Girls!

Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the roof-top launch party for the Forever 21 + Brian Lichtenberg collaboration [launching in stores today], and I definitely enjoyed myself! I got to meet with other La Fashion Blogger's, get fashion tips from the slew of well-dressed ladies and gents, meet lots of friendly, creative spirits, and of course score a swag bag chock-full of goodies! We nibbled on hors d'oeuvres provided by Duck Duck Mousse, and danced to music spun by the selectress of the night, DJ Lindsay Luv!

For those of you that aren't familiar with Brian Lichtenberg, he's an Eclectic LA-based fashion designer who's made a name for himself by fashioning clothing with unique cutouts, geometric details, and a modern aesthetic. Brian also boasts a faithful celebrity following, designing clothing for the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyoncè, the Kardashians and M.I.A. Brian's clothing line has been featured in numerous high-fashion magazines, as well as music videos; and now he is bringing his Avant-Garde flair to Forever 21 [bring on the budget fashionistas]!

I wore this Forever 21 Jumper to the event and paired it with my black velvet Jeffrey Campbell booties [not pictured]

A little photo-op with my fellow L.A Bloggers!

I loved their energy, and of course her vest!

There was a cool DIY Bar set up for us to trick out our gifted tees!

This guy embellished his tee w/safety pins; I may have to expound upon that idea..I smell a DIY in my future. 

I loved her leather cape!

 Here I am again w/ Diabolina Da Fashionista and Natalie of Fashion Intel!

 These were yummy! If I remember correctly, they were S'more Tart's! [will have this recipe by the end of the day!]

I loved everything about her look! From the vintage cap, to her vintage Chanel bag.

Red Lips! 

I need to find a top like this ASAP. If anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know!

I was sooo happy to finally meet Alicia of Inny Vinny! Luv her!

Natalie of Fashion Intel w/her boyfriend Asael - Luv these two spirits! - Thanks again to Natalie, and of course Forever 21 for having me out! I look forward to seeing all of you again soon! 

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

California Dreamin': Honey On The Rooftop

 Lo and I with Monica Payne - We loved her hair!

No attitudes. No doormen. No cover. My L.A natives are probably thinking this is too good to be true, considering L.A is known for their cocktail-sipping, snooty party scene, coupled with the hit or miss velvet rope games. However Monica Payne, Shelly Otto, DJ Rashida & DJ Eque, also known as The Honey Collective; definitely got it right with this one. Their rooftop soiree's presents a marriage of well dressed party goers, hipsters, good vibes, and sweeping views of the Downtown L.A skyline which perfectly frames the ultimate summer gathering. - For the past three years, these four beautiful ladies who came together as a collective, have been curating events that range from album/magazine release parties, movie premiere parties, to award after-parties, and of course their summer sexy soiree's.

Patrons are free to lounge around on comfy couches whilst sipping on drinks [reasonably priced may I add], as the cozy atmosphere is conducive to mingling, grooving, or 'working the room'. The Celebrity Selectress' better known as DJ Eque, has an impressive resume that spans from Diddy, to Virgin Records, GQ Magazine, and Mariah Carey respectively; so this honey definitely knows how to keep the party going.

 DJ Eque on the 1's & 2's

With the opening of L.A live, new lofts sprouting up on almost every corner, some of the best bars in town, and my new favorite haunt, Honey On The Rooftop; Downtown is once again the place to be in Los Angeles!

 Shout outs to these beautiful ladies that recognized me from the site! 

Lots of beautiful + positive ladies in the house!

I loved their necklaces; the gentlemen on the right is the designer behind the Los Angeles based jewelry line Browne & Co. Limited quantities are available @Fred Segal in L.A

 Later on that night, we decided to go to Kiss N Grind to hear Vikter Duplaix spin!

We laughed, and danced the night away!

Pix From Last Night + Who Will I See Tonight @ Bilal's Concert?!

Last night Lo and I checked out Yamashiro's Farmers Market! Think uber swank eats like Duck Contif Tacos with Wasabi guacamole, Australian Cappuccino and Chai, freshed shucked Oysters, peach cobbler with agave nectar in lieu of sugar, and a wine tasting menu that would suit even the most discriminating of tastes!

We will also be at Bilal's Free concert tonight at The California Plaza! [350 South Grand Los Angeles, CA 90071] - Bilal will be backed by the Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Ensemble [which just happens to be my fave] and Tributes to J-Dilla, Michael Jackson & Herbie Hancock will be in order, it is definitely not something you want to miss! If you are in the L.A area, and want to listen to good music FREE, come through!

I am also interviewing Bilal today so if anyone has any questions; please leave them in the comments. I will check them periodically throughout the day, and pick a few to ask :-) Hope to see some of you there!

Yamashiro's is nestled in the heart of the Hollywood Hills and boasts breathtaking views of Los Angeles! It's the perfect backdrop for wine tasting, live music, great eats, and and a super friendly atmosphere.

I would put this in my list of date-friendly places for those that want to shy away from "dinner & a movie"; bring your date to the Farmers Market and try new foods, dance to good music, and watch the sun go down together! Come on luvha's!

They had tons of fresh organic produce!

The crepe's looked delish!

Later on that night we decided to stop by Kitchen 24 to have drinks and desert! I got the red velvet cupcake :-)

Lo decided on the Strawberry Shortcake!

I wore a billowy dress from Arden B- and my Jeffrey Campbell Wedge Boots. For the chica that asked about my clutch bag a few days ago; I purchased it about 6 years ago at the Louis Vuitton store inside of The Beverly Center. It has a "belt" that you can string through the back to wear as a fannie-pack but I never do..lol
