KIN Los Angeles, West Hollywood

KIN Los Angeles in West Hollywood has completely re-vamped their storefront and brand, and Andrew and I got to check it out last week during a preview. The men's and women's wear boutique established in 2004 is known for carrying the latest designers from around the world such as Phillip Lim, Helmut Lang, Barbara Bui, Opening Ceremony, Thakoon and Carven. During the preview, guests enjoyed champagne, a photo booth, a trunk show by Wonderland eyewear, and the rad KIN LA space. The store is visually appealing to shop and you could get lost in there for hours. Check out these summer 2015 pieces featuring asymmetrical cuts and red statement pieces offered online and in-store at KIN:

Black & White Outfit in LA's Arts District

Happy Monday! I've been obsessing over my Bloom That flowers which I shared in my last post and had received at the Whitney Eve Summer 15 Preview. I wanted to include pics from my LA casual look that I wore the day of the preview. I took the train from OC to LA that morning and wanted to be comfy but still put together. I wore black, distressed skinny jeans; a white sweater with a open back detail and my go-to black booties. My neutral black and white look really popped against the graffiti walls of LA's Arts District. Here are the details:

Whitney Eve Summer 15 Collection

Last Friday, I took the train from OC to Union Station in LA and Renee picked me up and we headed to an event to preview the Whitney Eve Summer 15 collection and meet Whitney herself at the Indoor LA, a rad event space in the heart of the Arts District in DTLA (so rad that I wanted to move in and live there). Whitney was inspired by tropical vibes and created a line that wasn't as literal with all tropical prints and bright colors, but instead incorporated perforated fabrics, lace, subtle cheetah patterns and tropical floral prints in more neutral hues like black, white, and blush pink. I especially liked how she mixed prints and textures together to create interesting and detailed pieces such as paneled summer dresses, two pieces, athletic jackets and jogger pants/shorts, and off the shoulder tops; you can shop the entire collection here.
I got to take home a piece from the collection, snagging the Hidden Dress and I can't wait to unashamedly wear it every day this summer. Organized by BK Events, the other guests and I also enjoyed complimentary manis by Beauty & Wellness app Priv, fashion illustrations by the uber talented Jeanette Getrost, bites from Urban Palate and juice from Juice Served Here. Along with my Whitney Eve piece, I also took home a bag of goodies which included a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Bloom That, and products from Urban Radish, Coordinates Collection, and First Aid Beauty.
