Every now and then I do something that reminds me how much I absolutely LOVE fashion. This week, it was the Friends of Fashion fundraiser/Cameron Silver book signing at Evolution. I knew about Evolution (and the brilliant STIFF UPPER lip), and LA-based vintage shop Decades is legendary so of course I was excited to meet special guest Cameron Silver, but I encountered something else there: a sense of belonging.

I had the pleasure of attending this year’s DAAP Fashion Show, and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. The setup, lighting, audio, staging, choreography, designs--everything--was on point and extremely well executed. And it all played to a packed house!

How adorable are his little kitty elbows?
I’m sad to say I’ve lost another furry friend: my cat Beauregard died this week. If you follow me on social media you may already know this, but I thought a tribute post here would be appropriate--after all, this is where I introduced Beau when I first adopted him.
