Belve Music Lounge Party at Coachella

So this past weekend I attended Belvedere Vodka’s Belve Music Lounge party in honor of Coachella weekend!  As I’m sure you know, Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas and so naturally, I was thrilled to receive the invite.  The lounge was held at a private estate about 5 minutes from the Coachella festival and my friends and I hung out by the pool and sipped on some specialty Belvedere Coachella-inspired cocktails– my favorite was the Belve Beat! (check HERE for all of the recipes).

Redbook Magazine Celebrates Its May Kardashian Issue

So on Monday night I attended the Redbook magazine Kardashian party at Sunet Tower Hotel in Hollywood, a party to celebrate Redbook’s May cover – the six Kardashian women and baby Mason!  Truth be told, I love me some Kardashians so I was thrilled to receive an invite to this particular event.

I brought my friend Chelsea to the intimate event and we sipped white wine by the pool as we chatted with my friend Salvador and the gang from “Chelsea Lately,” who I obviously love, including the super hilarious and sweet Ross Matthews and Heather McDonald.

JustFabulous launch party with celeb stylist Jessica Paster

So I attended the launch party celebration for a new shoe membership club, JustFabulous at Eveleigh in Hollywood hosted by celebrity stylist, Jessica Paster.  I brought my friend Sydne as my plus one (make sure to check out her fab fashion coverage of the event) and aside from the fun event, we were shocked we had never been to Eveleigh because it was so pretty!

Pretty Hollywood venue aside, we got the chance to pick out a pair of JustFab shoes (I went with a gold platform heel that Sydne spotted for me) and the celeb spotting was just as good as expected thanks to the host of the night, Jessica Pastor.  Look at how grown up Dakota Fanning is now!  God, I feel old.

Kiehl’s, Michael C. Hall and Chloë Sevigny team up for clean water in honor of Earth Day

So I attended a fab party the other night at Kiehl’s on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica in honor of Earth Day.  The staple skincare brand teamed up with Michael C. Hall (“Dexter”) and Chloe Sevigny (“Big Love”) to create a limited editon collection of Kiehl’sRare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque with 100% of net proceeds benefitting Waterkeeper Alliance, a charity founded by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that supports local Waterkeeper programs to provide a voice for waterways and their communities worldwide.

There were plenty of other celebs in attendance as well- we spotted Stephanie Pratt (“The Hills”) at the restaurant next door and then at the party, Kristin Cavallari (also of “The Hills”) who embraced Stephanie with a hug as soon as she walked in.  Mario Lopez was there with his wife, as well as Sam Trammell from “True Blood,” who is even cuter in person.
