The Wendy Bellissimo Launch Party

After visiting the Brunello Cucinelli Showroom and sipping champagne in Beverly Hills, what better way to end the day than attending the Wendy Bellissimo Launch Party for Gilt Baby and Kids!  Hosted by Angie Harmon, the event was held at The Palihouse in West Hollywood and I am so glad we made the trip up from Orange County to attend.  The new collection includes clothing, bedding, shoes and bags and I would be hard pressed to decide which items were my favorite.  The clothing launched on Gilt this past Wednesday (did you catch it?) but the other items will continue to launch over the coming months.  If you are not currently currently a member of Gilt, you can click here to become a member.  If you are prego, or have little ones, you are not going to want to miss this.  Thank you so much to Gilt and Wendy Bellissimo for having us!

The Brunello Cucinelli Showroom

It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Brunello Cucinelli and the people that work there (evidence by this event and this event).  I have been trying for what feels like FOREVER to get up to LA and visit their Beverly Hills showroom but it never seemed to work out.  With the Wendy Bellissimo Launch Party on the calendar, and my best friend in town, I finally had a reason to go up and visit.  I am so glad I did.  The showroom was just as beautiful as the stores and it was so much fun to get a sneak peak at Fall and what was in store for the line.  What sounds better than "Cashmere Fur"?.  I will tell what does.  NOTHING.

After previewing the showroom we headed down to Villa Blanca for lunch with Jessica from their PR team, whom I adore.  We made a final stop in the boutique to check out what is now my favorite item from the Fall collection.  I am DYING over the below skirt.  It is AH-MAZING.

  Thank you so much to Brunello Cucinelli for having us.  It was such an incredible way to kick off our day in LA!

A Day in LA

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day up in LA with my Best Friend K.  Oh how I love Girl Time.  We had fun visiting the Brunello Cucinelli showroom, having lunch with one of my favorite PR girls (thank you again J!), shopping on Rodeo, drinking champagne at the Montage Beverly Hills and attending the Wendy Bellissimo Collection Launch party for Gilt Kids.  Best of all, it was the first time in a long time that we got to hang out and chat without pure chaos kids running around us.  It just reminds me how much I hate that she does not live in Orange County anymore.  But that is an entire different story that I continue to make her feel guilty about.  But back to yesterday.  I took a ton of photos from the day and will definitely share, but for now, here are just a few of the photos I took on my phone.  More to come later this week!

A quick shot of us before we headed to the event

Best Friends.  Champagne.  What is better?

Everything was absolutely adorable.  I loved it all.

One of our favorite items at the event.  How fab is this diaper bag?
