Holiday Party | December 23, 2011

Every year I host a Holiday Party with my closest friends on the 23rd of the December. This year I got to have everyone over at my new loft in Downtown LA. It was really nice to catch up with friends, drink my Famous Sangria, and eat finger foods. This years Holiday Party was a SUCCESS. 








MAD STYLE - J BRAND 801 LEGGINGS IN SNOW LEOPARD


A cold snap has hit London and it's making me all too excited to return home to California for the holidays! Although frosty weather definitely contributes to the christmas spirit I think I wouldn't mind a bit of sunshine here and there right about now. School is finally out however and somehow I've managed to be busier than ever, not quite the relaxing break I was expecting! What I've been dying for with all the errands and meet ups I've been running back and fourth too is a pair of jeans that are stylish but versatile, which is right where this pair of J Brand 801 Jeggings in Snow Leopard come in.
These skinnies are perfectly on key for the holidays. I'm not typically a huge fan of printed denim but this pair hits the mark on both comfort and style, proving my previous hesitations towards patterns entirely misguided. I absolutely love how these fit--they're snug but stretchy and hit right past the ankles, which is perfect for flats or heels. They're mid-rise with a 30 inch inseam and thanks to their legging like qualities are just what I need for all the lovely meals that coincide with the holidays, but have a sturdy enough feel that I doubt they'd be stretching too far any time soon.
I was surprised at how many different outfits these could work with. Thrown on with a t shirt and biker boots or dressed up with heels and a silky top these could transition from grocery store to galleries with just a few change ups. I know everyone is stressed out at this time of year and being able to keep your wardrobe switches few and far between (without sacrificing style) is hard to achieve, but J Brand has made it simple with these edgy but understated trousers. J Brand are known for their perfect fit, as well as their unique style and I can't say I have any complaints with this pair. Heidi Klum and Khloe Kardashian seem to agree, the former rocking hers to a day at the pumpkin patch, Khloe showing hers off at LAX, once again proving their versatility.
I hope you all are staying warm and enjoying the holiday season, hopefully soon mine will calm down and I'll be able to kick back and relax--preferably in a pair of jeans as cool as these.

J Brand Christmas Party - Grammy Night!

Saturday, December 17, 2011 I attended my sixth J Brand Christmas Party with my beautiful family and boyfriend, and all of my amazing co-workers! This years party was held at the Vibiana in Downtown LA. We had a blast dancing to the live band, drinking cocktails, eating delicious food, and mingling! This was definitely one of the BEST Christmas Parties I have ever been to!

Christina's Graduation

Wednesday December 14, 2011 we attended Christina's Graduation in Tempe, Arizona. We enjoyed an amazing Italian dinner and Champagne at Caffe Boa, attended the Graduation Ceremony at the Wells Fargo Arena, and had a blast celebrating with drinks and singing our lungs out at the Big Bang Piano Bar!

ANNALYNNE MCCORD IN J BRAND BETTE JEANS


Question: What do you think were AnnaLynne McCord's favourite jeans of 2011?
Answer: Well evidence points strongly to the fact that they were a pair of J Brand's high-rise, wide leg Bette flares. Not only was she snapped wearing them this week as she grabbed a coffee at Urth Cafe in Santa Monica, but she has also been snapped wearing the same style 123 times this year. Conclusive proof I would say.
