While in Los Angeles…..

A few weeks ago myself and Claudine of Black Cat Vintage flew out to Los Angeles for a couple of days, to attend the cocktail party celebration and premiere episode of Doris Raymond's new show LA Frock Stars, on the Smithsonian channel. I have been meaning to share what little photos I remembered to capture from the event (I really need to get quicker with the camera), but life has been crazy these last few weeks….the good kind of crazy that is!

The trip was super fast and less time than I usually get to spend while out in Los Angeles, but I did get to catch up with a few lovely friends in California land and Doris Raymond of course! If you have never visited Doris’ boutique in LA called The Way We Wore, I highly recommend it. Doris has an exquisite eye and knowledge for vintage clothing and her pieces are beyond fabulous! 

Congratulations Doris!

A busy bee!



Hello lovely friends!

I am so glad to hopefully be back on track this week. After a short hiatus due to last weeks series of events. I am starting my week off, by sharing with you some exciting news and pictures!

So last week I was hired by a client to style a darling 11 year old girl, who is auditioning for a part in a 1930's set movie. I can not say what the title of the movies is, by law only because it is still in pre-production, and a even though a title has been determined. It is still not finalized at this point. Anywhoo off with that hosh-posh and on with the details.

I was flown off on a jet plane to the movie production city of Los Angeles, for a couple days. Middle of last week, well Wednesday to be exact.

As soon as I got there, I got to work. Playing dress up with little girls vintage clothes, is a dream for me. As much as I enjoy styling my own handsome little boy in vintage, it is always fun to see buttons, bows and frilly things for a change. She is so cute, and looks very much like Shirley Temple in the 1930's! She was very polite and had a delightful personality. Very smart, witty and mature for her age, a pleasure to work with. Her Mother was also a pleasure, she let me do my work without a hitch and was very grateful for the help and pleased with the results.

In between work, I only had a few opportunites to play and snap pics. So here are a few!


Me and my adorable little future starlet, having dinner on a rainy night at the Santa Monica Pier, after her fabulous audition! Isn't she a doll? Good luck little lady!
I will be sure to post more pictures of her in her her full regalia, as soon as a get a few back from the photographer! There were a couple of wardrobe changes....

The lovely hotel my client put me up in, I was definitely spoiled for a few days. You know how much I adore the beach and the California sunsets! Even if I only had an hour to sink my toes in the sand, well that is good enough for me!

The ocean just beyond the balcony, about 100 ft away!


Some quick playtime before I headed back home to Arizona. A stop at the Griffith Observatory in Hollywood, well the nicer part of Hollywood- in the hills of Loz Feliz, that is.


You might recall the Griffith Observatory, from the movie "Rebel without a Cause" starring James Dean!



And a nice visit and lunch with my gal pal Ashley who resides in L.A. Oh how I miss that girl living in my hometown! She is such a hoot!

Till next time...

Toodles,
