Fashion For Breakfast LA: The Dreslyn

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day right? Well, this morning I attended a nothing short of chic soiree-esque event, 'Fashion for Breakfast LA'. Hosted by The Dreslyn at Cecconi's in West Hollywood.

Starting off with a three course breakfast and a side of networking- it was the perfect opportunity to meet & greet other fashion insiders, tastemakers, bloggers, designers, and like minded people. Jennifer Pauline, curator of FFBLA, hosted a super business & fashion savvy Q&A with Brooke Taylor Corcia, Co-Founder of The Dreslyn.

Brooke shared some insight on getting new businesses off the ground, how The Dreslyn goes about buying for their store, and tips on how to survive in this crazy dog-eat-dog industry of ours!

The Dreslyn is only my favorite online destination to shop. So with that said, my Thursday morning was everything I needed it to be.

P.S.

I NEED the foily boots!

Advanced Style; I N S P I R A T I O N

ADVANCED STYLE TRAILER from teenage peanut video productions on Vimeo.

Advanced style...what better way to put it? I am probably Iris Apfel's number one fan, and these ladies just won my vote as well! I find nothing more liberating than elders believing that you never have to stop. Age ain't nothing but a number and style is forever. Personality is forever. Self expression is forever. Life is what we make it. These women are believers of beauty, confidence, and style that can only be achieved through a life lived glamorously. If I could just meet every one of them and bask in their glory...
