Chemline Boutique’s Spring/Summer Launch Party

My first introduction to Chemline was at Concept Fashion Week this past March. I was very impressed with the retro inspired collection, so when I received the invitation to the SS preview party I was excited. Hosted by the lovely Averi Bell (designer for Chemline) at her darling Chinatown boutique/studio the event gave selected guests the opportunity to preview the SS collections from the emerging designers featured in her store. Averi firmly believes in supporting the community so she’s opened up her shop to her friends and other labels that share her eco-friendly vision.

Camarena Tequila Truck

If you are not acquainted with Jenn Laskey then you’re missing out on some serious fun. Jenn is the founder of Red Light Promotions—an event planning company –and if you’re fortunate enough to be on her list your life will never be dull. This past weekend RedLight held a party in honor of the launch of the Camarena Tequila Truck. Featuring the culinary delights of Chef Sevan Azarian of Recess Eatery in Glendale the savory offerings of tacos, burritos, tostadas, and salsas are infused with Familia Camarena Tequila.

Even though this was a private event there was still a wait for the food, so in the meantime we grooved to the tunes provided by KCRW’s Raul Campos, drank Camarena margaritas, indulged on tequila-tinged cupcakes courtesy of My Delight Cupcakery, and even got to design a custom Camarena t-shirt. If you missed out on the fun you can still grab a bite from the Camarena Tequila Truck by following it at http://twitter.com/camarenatequila or becoming a fan on Facebook. The truck will be rolling all summer and the food is 100% free.
