I recently teamed up with the Los Angeles Fashion Council to curate an LA designer pop-up shop at the W Los Angeles - Westwood. Chanelle Laurence of The Penelope Times, Stephanie Liu of Honey N Silk and I each created our own individual shops within the space that featured fall apparel and accessories from our favorite local talents. Fun, right? Peep a few snaps from Thursday's opening party below.

I was honored to wear this jaw-dropping Fifth Element dress by Jen Awad. Here with the designer. 

My shop's inspiration and featured designer roster.

From the moment I found out that I was going to be a part of this project, I knew that I wanted to feature jewelry from two of my favorite LA designers: RUNE and Kittinhawk.

Remember those awesome autostereograms books from the '90s called Magic Eye? This Popomomo blouse reminds me of them. Fun fact: The label's designer, Lizz Wassermann, used to be a Racked LA contributor!

I love the peplum action on this futuristic dress by AGAIN.

Here with one of my best friends Jesse Southern, who happens to be the designer behind RUNE.

Prior to the event, me and my fellow curators stopped by Blushington to get our makeup done. We loved the results! If you ever book an appointment there, which I highly recommend, ask for Angela and tell her I sent you!
