Elena-
So glad you made it safely! I miss you too friend. I can't wait to hear about your trip and all that you are experiencing and getting to learn at the meetings with your factories.

Hong Kong

Traci-

We just got into Hong Kong last night..or yesterday morning... Hong Kong is 15 hours ahead of Los Angeles and I felt that last night and on the plane. We went to sleep in normal Hong Kong time, and I already feel on the schedule. We are taking an easy morning, and then going to meet up with our factory.

It's been about a week since I've seen you, and another week until I get back. I miss you, friend!

I've already walked by about 5 store windows of knock off handbags:)




Talk to you soon-

Elena

Four Eyes

Elena-
I went to the eye doctor this week and it looks like I need glasses. When you get back from Hong Kong I am going to venture up to A. Kinney Court and look at the frames you guys have.
Have a safe trip!!

Outfitter

Traci-

I love the traveler post... As you know, I'm going to Hong Kong for my job, and you may be going to Paris (fingers crossed)...We will have to meet each other in one of the places and mimic the traveler spread:)

I'm already starting to pack for Hong Kong, and this is what I think would be the perfect outfit... The entire outfit I found and created through Shopbop.com, which is one of my go to online stores.

*Side note: I found a LA Rok dress at Bloomingdales that was on sale, and then found it for even cheaper on Shopbop.com. To top it off, the Shopbop website was waaaaay nicer than the unhelpful employees at Bloomingdales... The clothes, dressing rooms, and store were a mess at Bloomingdales, and I was lucky to find anything I was looking for. I've learned my lesson. Try it on at Bloomingdales- Buy it at Shopbop. Free shipping too!

Miss you friend! I'll post about my trip in Hong Kong! See you after I get back!

Love,
Lena

Carmen Garcia Huerta = Awesome

Traci-

As you know, I am always trying to improve my "ability" to sketch. Not only can Carmen Garcia Huerta sketch, but she can paint. I think what makes her amazing is that she is not stuck in one style of drawing, but keeps her own personal touch in all of them. And with a name like Carmen Garcia Huerta- you can't go wrong:)

P.S. Had fun this weekend:)

L'Amant

Elena,
Have you seen Erin Fetherston's 2011 Resort collection? French film L'Amant (The Lover) was the inspiration. Below are some of my favorite looks... I love the straw boater hat that she paired with some of the styles. It got me thinking about all the cute summer hats I have been seeing around.
