as promised, i have a bunch of photos from the lulu*s style studio event in phoenix! the evening was tons of fun and a total success! lulu*s set up at monorchid gallery complete with a pop-up shop, booths from a bunch of great sponsors, and the ‘spin it to win it’ wheel where attendees got to spin the wheel for a chance to win sweet lulu*s swag. i hosted a styling event in which i picked out a group of girls from the crowd and challenged them to each style a head-to-toe look. they were all so adorable that we let each of them walk away with one item that they were wearing and one lucky gal got to keep her entire look! then my co-host for the evening, mara of m loves m, gave a presentation featuring her favorite fall trends.

it was such a pleasure to meet mara and all of the fashionable bloggers of phoenix! everyone i met was so genuine, down-to-earth, and just wonderful to be around. in fact, thanks to the wonders of the internet, i was actually able to meet up with chelsea of tea talk and lauren of phoenix, je t’aime (pictured above) to do a little bit of exploring in the neighborhood. we stopped in at butter toast vintage where i picked up two adorable dresses and cute ’60s shoes on the cheap (see proof here and here). it was a really fun experience and the saddest part was that my trip was so short! i’m already trying to plan another trip to check out all of the awesome vintage and thrifting and to visit my mom in tucson, so hopefully i’ll be seeing arizona again very soon!

thanks lulu*s girls!

another project that i’ve been waiting to share for months on end is my guest appearance on sweden’s next top model! this was filmed last winter at a vintage shop in los angeles and aired this past season on tv3 in sweden. i knew that it had aired, but hadn’t seen the episode until a few days ago when my sleuthing aunt and sister tracked it down on youtube. i have to admit, i was really worried about how it would come out because i was deathly sick with a very bad cold on the day this was filmed, and could barely form a complete sentence after all the medicine i took, but i think it came out pretty cute all said and done.

since the video is a bit long and it’s mostly in swedish, you can fast-forward to my segment at about the 3:15 mark. they were kind enough to speak english for my part, but i have no idea what is being said in the rest of it. maybe one of my kind swedish readers can offer up a translation!?

a huge thank you to the people at acne production for making this possible, and here’s to more fun video adventures!

as you read this, i’m boarding a plane and making my way to phoenix, arizona for lulu’s style studio! i’m really excited to be hosting the event and can’t wait to meet all of the fashionable ladies of phoenix! so make sure you r.s.v.p. right here and i’ll see you tonight!
