Memorial Day 2011

Ah, Memorial Day weekend.  I’ve never been one to really enjoy a holiday weekend, with the exception of the extra day off from work, naturally.  Don’t get me wrong, in theory a long weekend should be glorious but in my experience, they are always built up to be “the best time ever” and you ultimately end up being let down.  This past weekend, however, was super fun.  Sydne and I were practically glued at the hip and we had a blast going out in Hollywood and getting sushi at Omi (aka our favorite cheap sushi spot), going to a fun Hollywood Hills BBQ and then ending the holiday weekend with a little biking/drinking on the strand in Hermosa Beach.  Seem like a lot to fit into three days?  Yeah, it was.  I’m exhausted but perhaps a little optimistic that future holiday weekends won’t be the disaster that they’ve been in the past.

Kim Kardashian Hosts the Launch of the Midori Melon Liquer Trunk Shows

Yeah, I’m way behind on my blogging but with the recent news of Kim Kardashian’s engagement, I was reminded that I never did my post on the fabulous launch party for Midori Melon and ShoeDazzle’s VIP Trunk Shows, hosted by Kim K herself.  As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a SoleSociety Fashion Insider but this girl definitely has room in her heart for as many awesome shoe clubs as possible.  ShoeDazzle, co-founded by Kim, has really stepped up their game with some super cute heels, all of which the cocktail waitresses carried around with the Midori drinks.  Sydne and I stalked the shoes before heading over to SoHo House to meet our friend Kristen.

A Trip to Catalina Island!

I have a very long list of “things to do” in Los Angeles and Catalina Island has been at the top of that list since I moved to LA in September 2009.  My friend Nadine Jolie came up with the plan to camp out on the island as part of a P&G Beauty Challenge that she’s doing and I was thrilled to jump on the band wagon and tag along when she offered.  It’s crazy that such a beautiful little island is only a one hour ferry ride away from LA!

90210 senior prom vs. Beverly Hills 90210 senior prom

I think it’s officially safe to say that when it comes to the battle of the 90210’s, the original will always win.  You see, the CW network is smart and they used the former stars (Jennie Garth, Shannon Doherty, Tori Spelling, etc.) to lure us original fans in and basically get us hooked…and it worked.  However, when I watch the new episodes lately, I find myself saying “god, where the hell is Kelly?!  Your sister is MANIC.”  And here in lies the problem.  I’m really just so over 90210 2.0…and last night’s incredibly boring senior prom episode may have just been the straw that broke the camel’s back.

How can you compare an episode that started the legendary “Donna Martin graduates” chant to some stupid story line with Naomi and her geeky (yet still very attractive) boyfriend.  Seriously?  These photos have me remembering the GOOD times (and I can still hear the chanting…”Donna Martin graduates, Donna Martin graduates…”)

Note: make sure to also check out my Beverly Hills 90210 tour from when I first moved to LA.

Sponsored Post: Flip Flops and Why I Love Them

So living in California, it’s only to be expected that I’m super fond of “the flop.”  They’re just.so.comfortable…and as of late, I’m particularly obsessed with Havaianas.  These women’s sandals are awesome because not only are they like walking on air, but they also come in super fun patterns and designs.  My favorite of the moment?  The sexy snake patterned version.  Silvery grey flip flops are a must-have for any summer wardrobe since it matches pretty much everything and the snake pattern takes the fun up a notch.  I’ll be wearing these with my new black bikini by the pool.
