My new vintage kimono made it out again this weekend ...
I finally got to wear it styled for the party it was purchased for!
My kimono's first outing was here
where I styled it for a more casual night out.
But this time out
I pulled out all of my style stops
because
I was lucky enough to be invited at another of the
legendary parties
at her Laguna Beach home.
It was an evening
I have been waiting for with great anticipation!
My Trina Turk
Palm Springs sandals
paired perfectly with the kimono.
I finished the look off with a turban and shell earrings I designed.
Underneath I wore my silk paired skirts
with a my vintage YSL lace blouse.
My corded belt kept the kimono wrapped in place.
And then it was off to the beautiful Laguna Beach
and
the stunning historical residence of the
whose parties are legendary
not only for her
artistic and sumptuous entertaining skills
but even more so
for her masterful gathering of fascinating guests for her parties!
Magic is always in the air at Andrea's parties …
You can feel it wafting through
the truly romantic space.
It is what party dreams are made of!
Sitting down to a lavishly set table on the veranda
with the most marvelous food being passed
while getting lost in fascinating conversations
with her most marvelous guests
is a true gift to my soul.
Andrea's attention to detail
and
sublime entertaining artistry
makes attending her parties
an honor
and
an always magical memory.
and
an always magical memory.
Thank you Jennifer
for this picture!
My handsome husband/photographer
doesn't make it in front of the camera often enough :))
The evening was also had a fabulous gathering of wonderful bloggers as well.
Some now dear blogging friends I had already met like
the always glamorous Contessa of
The Vintage Henhouse
and
the ever stylish Jennifer of
A Well Styled Life.
Cristina of
Griege Design
was also attending.
Her interiors are always a favorite of mine.
Especially what she accomplished in her amazing Southern California backyard!
Therese of
La Lofina Lifestyle
was also there
and
I was only sorry I didn't get to spend more time with her
as she is ever so warm and engaging!
I just know our paths will soon cross again!
Kathy of
Vintageweave
had stories about collecting in Paris
for her A list clients
I could have listened to all night!
Oh it was such a wonderful night …
with everyone attending
blogger or not
such a joy to spend time with!
Andrea

Your generosity knows no bounds
my forever inspiring friend!
