Snow White Ballet with costumes by Jean-Paul Gaultier

This weekend I had the pleasure of going to the ballet!  Angelin Preljocaj's performance of Snow White came to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown Los Angeles.  The dancing was mesmerizing, and the use of lighting and music were perfect to create the fantastical and sometimes eerie mood.  AND the costumes, designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, were incredible!  Check it out...




If you have a chance to see this performance you should definitely go!

this week: INSTAGRAM

Just a few Instagram highlights from this week...

I went to see my good friend, Lizzie Parker, show at Fashion Weekend in Los Angeles.  The show was at Sunset Gower Studios and was broadcast live on KTLA!  This pic is actually of the opening performance by a band called Hi Fashion, they put on a really cool show.

Then I went to the launch of the new Growze store on Larchmont in LA.  Great store, amazing clothes!  Just loved this display with a couple American Flag T-Shirts, a Fedora, and a shredded sweatshirt.

I also went to a party at a cool store on Sunset Blvd called Live On Sunset.  My friend Nony sells her line Petro Zillia there so we went to check it out.  Just loved this rack of bright neon clothes mixed with some denim.

And there were a few fabulous days of sun this week in LA so I walked around the neighborhood a lot.  I snapped this pic in front of the Pacific Design Center.  The gigantic chair statue looked so inviting at that moment!
