saturday night was a hoot thanks to a dear family friends son's bar mitzva - as a thirteen year old i never realized how much fun you can have dancing with your parents! haha.  anyway, i love a reason to get all dolled up! {plus i got some real cool airbrush tattoos i shall share later...}

feline-ity

LEOPARD. spotted across the globe during fashion weeks, this faux feline fur is this season's most coveted accent print. obviously a perfect match with camel and khaki tones this amazing detail looks fab against almost every possible color for fall. as we were bopping around santa barbara it was incredibly evident that this big cat has quite literally pounced on this season! i had to refrain from scooping up every furry piece of cloth i cam across!! (which included many pairs of leopard printed tights, socks and jeans(?)) i've done a little browsing online and compiled my ultimate feline wishlist. enjoy!!

FNOLA

friday was FASHION'S NIGHT OUT (LA style) and my mom and i went out and perused Robertson Boulevard before heading to Neiman Marcus for some pampering! the streets were CRAZY with people shopping and hanging out in the festivities!

our first stop was to Paige Denim, where we bought some jeggings (our ultimate favorite) and hung out with the most adorable pooch! then it was off to Intermix, where we scooped up some FNOLA tees, and Alice + Olivia, which would have made my sister's head spin! there was a hypnotic cocktail bar and an entire TABLE full of bin candy with little bags to make little goodie bags! (sooo cute and we totally would have made ourselves some but i made myself sick on cotton candy salt water taffy and my mom did the same on sour grapefruit chews, so we left it for the kiddies!) then we headed to Tory Burch where my mom's wonderful sales guy, Andre, had a jacket waiting for her! after we nixed the jacket and munched on mini cupcakes we hightailed it to Neiman Marcus where we finished off the night amid couture gowns and photo ops! (we missed the fashion show, but oh well)  on our way back we tried to eat at taiko, but it had closed literally two minutes before we got there so we headed home and noshed on leftover pizza and sorbet! all in all, a fantastic night! we cannot wait for next year's!!
