saturday night out in west hollywood. santa monica blvd.

the lovely group of ladies and I ventured to voyeur, which completely lived up to all the hype. since the vibe was very cabaret and very hollywood elite, we weren't supposed to take photos inside the club. I grabbed a few from their website for you to check out at the bottom. it had the most interesting art noir feel. all mixed in with bronzed steel light fixtures, leather studded chairs and burlesque performers clad in corsets and eyes-wide-shut masks. it was sophisticated, decadent, and chic. I have to say I was concerned about getting in since we weren't on the list that night since apparently the place is super hot right now, but please believe we breezed right in. :) my girlfriends know how to work that charm.



oh hey, justin bobby from the hills. there were a few celebs there that night, and he was the only one we were able to snag a photo with. you would think, judging from his attitude on the show and his super ridiculously tacky denim vest seen above that this guy would be a class a jerk... but... not so. we actually chatted and danced with him for a good portion of our time at voyeur and not only was he nice, but he was polite as well! surprise, surprise.




moving on to colony and some other fun WeHo spots. voyeur clearly took the cake. seriously, can't wait to go back.

and yes. obviously, I am rocking my hair extensions here. after I chopped off my locks last year I immediately regretted it. thus, the purchase of these babies. my hair is finally long enough to use them and pull of the side pony tail. oh how I've missed you, side pony.





I am truly blessed to have such smart, funny, and caring friends that constantly make me smile and choose to be just as beautiful inside as they are on the outside. cheers to fun times with friends.

shots of voyeur for you. see what I mean.


be sure to leave some love below to enter yourself for a chance to win a lovely purse that I picked up on this LA trip, and check out yesterday's post... go and part the sea in malibu. have a happy tuesday all!

and its one more night in hollywood.

happy thursday blogger land! I am doing a happy, silly dance on the inside while celebrating reaching 100 followers this week. I know it seems like a small number in comparison to some of my other semi-celeb blogger buddies, but for a little blog that just started out as something fun for me to do to pass the time and meet some super nifty people, I am pretty pumped at how it has grown. I am contemplating what to do to mark the occasion and I think another give away is in order. there is a special something that I have in mind, but you will have to wait until next week when I am back in san francisco. I can say that you are going to want to check back. :)
on to round two of the road trip photos.

after spending the day shopping and basking in the california sun, we hurried back to the hotel to get ready for the film premiere. the feature that we were there to see was called "elle", and it was the first time it was ever going to be seen by an audience!

we were the first ones in line and we had the perfect view for when all of the actors were arriving. they kept pulling up next to us in their "blacked out" escalades and town cars. we saw most of the major stars and even were able to talk to a few of the people in the movie as well as the directors and producers. it was interesting to see all of the people who made the movie come back together.

since the film festival was in newport beach, it had more of a laid back and beachy vibe to it. we wanted to look super chic but not too dressed up. I think we pulled it off nicely.

I wore a one of my little black dresses with a dark zebra print tunic over, paired with my black leggings and tan wedge sandals. I threw on some accessories and kept my hair casual.

once the film was over, the cast hoped in front of the audience for the Q&A. it was such a small theater that they were maybe 10 feet away from us. cool! after the excitement of the movie we decided that the best place for us to hit on a saturday night would be hollywood. obviously.

we drove for a while all the way down sunset blvd. past chateau marmont, past hollywood blvd and the roosevelt hotel, and past many other famous haunts. when we saw ketchup we decided to pull over and see if we could get in. sadly, we didn't think to make a reservation and the place was packed. we walked up to the bar and looked around for a bit, but ended up having dinner at a funky, outside restaurant below ketchup.

I hope you enjoyed the overload of photos. some of them are courtesy of miss lauren, the photographer extraordinaire. looking back at these is making me miss our trip! there is no better place to be than hollywood on a saturday night. there are so many interesting people out and about and you just feel ridiculously glamorous.

wishing you all a healthy and productive thursday as we inch closer to that weekend. has anyone else tried going the vegan route yet? watching what you are eating? hope I'm not alone out here!

peace and love. :)
