an L.A. dream (part 2)

03.05.12 | Tara | 13 Comments

Snaps from the Lucky Magazine’s Lucky Fabb (Fashion & Beauty Blogger) conference at the beautiful Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica. Had so much fun listening to great speakers on the business of blogging and fashion and mingling with fellow bloggettes and friends right on the ocean shore!

the outfit: Joie linen top, Trina Turk ‘Talia’ silk pants, Zara heels, Kooba ‘Camden’ purse, Ray Ban aviators, floral crown made by me

charming and hilarious Elizabeth Banks (check out her girl funny website here “I love things that make me giggle”) in an awesome Alexander McQueen dress and Jean-Michel Cazabat shoes

“I believe deeply in the power of resilience” -Zac Posen, great speaker and his business savvy is impressive

new gal pal Jenni of I Spy DIY (check out her new book here) and Kate Somerville on the entrepreneur panel- two girl power favorites

Mad Men’s costume designer Janie Bryant and BFF Kiernan Shipka (Sally Draper), loved hearing about Janie put together the color palettes for Sally and Betty’s costumes this season (in contrast to each other as Sally rebels against her mother) and how much Kiernan loves Style Rookie

my childhood fashion idol, Soleil Moon Frye (aka Punky Brewster): “I truly believe there’s never been a better time for female entrepreneurs”

A Fine Frenzy performing for us

A great day and a great experience overall, thanks Lucky!

    I loved reading about your time at the Lucky FABB conference. From what I have seen it looks like it was so much fun. And I can’t get over how cute those pants are, and your flower crown! 

    Happy Friday.

    You have inspired two purchases! The Trina Turk pants and the Old Navy maxi dress. Your style is so relaxed and chic. It’s all I aspire to be ;-) now, I totally want to find that H&M maxi, too!

It will be hard for me to never be a snowboarder girl 🏂 again and I’m so proud of my skills there, but it’s also nice to stand up properly and not have my bum freeze from constantly sitting on the snow, and get off the chair with ease 🤣. Also cheers to new ski friends (some of my favorite kinds of friends) and isn’t this furry ski hood so cute? All the hot ski girls are doing it @courtwildson 💕! #skihood @pictureorganicclothing
