Two Point Oh! LA 5th Annual Picnic

Two Point Oh! LA turned 5 this year and to celebrate Kelsi Smith held the annual picnic at the W Westwood. The classy event featured a gourmet spread from the W’s kitchen and the hotel provided a nice atmosphere for bloggers to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I have to say, Kelsi and her crew really outdid themselves this year.

1st Annual Two Point Oh! LA Snowball

Two Point Oh! LA held its first annual holiday Snowball in the Penthouse Ballroom of the Pacific Electric Lofts. Aside from a fabulous party the event raised $1000 for the Downtown Women’s Center. 

The open bar was courtesy of Chambord, Chambord Flavored Vodka, DRY Soda, Hansens Soda, and Barefoot Wine. I had been searching for the Chambord Flavored Vodka and finally found it at my local BevMo a week before this party. It is definitely worth seeking out. It’s great mixed with a flavored soda, add it to champagne, or just enjoy it on the rocks.

TwoPointOhLa Pre-Fashion Week Party

TwoPointOhLa held a “Pre Fashion Week Party” at Rick’s Place located in Hotel Figueroa. This historic hotel is quite charming with its tiled floors and Moroccan Themed décor. All the talented and stylish members of TwoPointOhLa gathered together and shared their game plans for the upcoming fashion week. Five lucky members were chosen to represent Jen Award and each wore a piece from her current collection. One of my favorite things about the TwoPointOh events is seeing what everyone is wearing. These peeps go all out, and it’s fun to get new ideas from their individual styles. Heather Petry (LAFashionsnob) is always decked out in one of her fabulous creations. I would so love to raid her closet one day.

Fashion's Night Out Los Angeles, September 10, 2010

Congratulations to the City of Angels for stepping it up for the second annual Fashion’s Night Out. There was so much to do it was hard to narrow it down. Thankfully, J’s game for pretty much anything so it was a marathon shopping night. 

Our evening started out at the GenLux Magazine party on Rodeo Drive. The event also featured a silent auction to benefit Daisy Love Merrick (www.prayfordaisy.com). Food was provided by Tabu Grill. They served a delicious ginger soup and an incredibly buttery yellowtail that melted in your mouth. I definitely recommend dining at this place.

In most of the shops the champagne was flowing and deserts and other tasty treats were being offered. Live music, balloons, and giveaways were also in abundance. We passed the Grilled Cheese Truck on our way to Roberto Cavalli. It was only about ten after 6 and already a line had formed. I guess everyone wanted to try the “fashion” sandwich, which was a special for the evening and was comprised of spare ribs, cheese, and caramelized onions. Upon arrival at Cavalli we were greeted with a Cavalli cocktail (made from Grey Goose and not Cavalli vodka – bummer.) We sipped our drink while admiring the beauty of Signor Cavalli’s latest collection.

Fashion's Night Out Los Angeles

Last year Fashion’s Night Out Los Angeles paled in comparison to FNONY. Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills put on a pretty sweet bash and Fred Segal did too, but that was about it. This year L.A. is on the ball with over 200 retailers participating in the night’s festivities.

On Friday, September 10th the annual shopping extravaganza will kick off at 4 p.m. with Red Carpet arrivals at The Beverly Center, followed by a speech from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa at 5 p.m. A number of stores will feature gifts with purchase in addition to other special events. Macy’s is sponsoring a Denim Rock’s fashion show, and The Beverly Center will feature various fashion shows throughout the evening with special host WILL.I.AM of The Black Eyed Peas. www.beverlycenter.com/fashionsnightout

The Grove will also host an evening filled with glamorous gifts, amazing prizes, and fashionable savings, which will be available to members of its loyalty awards program. (If you are not yet a member you can sign up at concierge services.) The night will center on The Park at The Grove, featuring up to ten wonderful Los Angeles based stylists, including Reah Norman, Kallah Maguire, Bree Cooley, Laurie Brucker,  Margaret Sche, and Kelsi Smith who will all be on hand to lend their styling expertise. Bloggers' Cafè hosted by Two Point Oh! LA will be on hand to cover all festivities, which will include a meet-n-greet with Blake Mycoskie, founder and chief shoe giver of Tom’s shoes, at Nordstrom from 6 – 9 p.m.  Fergie will also make a special appearance at Nordstrom from 9 – 10 p.m. Shoppers will also receive a free Fashion’s Night Out T-Shirt when they visit 5 participating stores. (L.A.’s official FNO Tee was designed by Marc Blaskovits, a student in FIDM’s graphic design program. Proceeds from the sale of the shirt will go to the California Fashion Foundation’s scholarship program to fund fashion education in Los Angeles.) http://www.thegrovela.com/los_angeles/promos/promo_page.php?id_promo=48&section=events
