THE GLAM LIFE: CELEBRITY GLAM SPOTTING

Holy Chic!! Kim Kardashian Goes Blonde...AGAIN!

THE GLAM LIFE: BEAUTY INSIDER

I guess it's true what they say, blondes do have more fun!!  At least that's what baby mama Kim Kardashian might say by the looks of her new honeycomb blonde tresses.  Kim (and baby North) stepped out this weekend revealing a new look on her way to a friend's BBQ in Beverly Hills.  

Uh, uh, uh, not so fast, if our memory serves us correctly, this isn't the first time the brunette bombshell went blonde.  We first saw this Armenian beauty change it up way back in 2009, but the lighter shade seems to be a color she likes to revisit.  She also went lighter for a stint in 2012, as well.  No matter how many times she chooses to go light, it's fine with me, because Kanye West's GF is definitely giving me life with this hair, hunny!  

Color is the quickest way to make a statement, and I must admit, I'm lovin' the blonde!  Hop on over to E! online to get even more details and pics of Kim K's new look. 

Before you go, comment and tell us, what do you think of Kim's goldilocks?!  Did she do the damn thing and GLAM it or is this a SLAM it?

Until next time...toots!

Ladies Who Brunch with SWAPportunities

THE GLAM LIFE: FASHION & STYLE SWAP

Okay so, I was invited to attend brunch this past weekend at a cute little restaurant called TART, located in the Mid-Wilshire district of Los Angeles.  Just to set the scene, Mid-Wilshire is all about the hustle & bustle.  

It’s an extremely diverse, well-educated and densely populated residential neighborhood in Central Los Angeles.  This area is host to tons of great shopping, good eats and fanciful bars. 

It’s a happening area to say the least.  

So, this wasn't just any ol’ brunch though; this was a brunch offering a come up (cue music), in walks the SWAPportunity.  Definition – (noun) an opportunity to make a swap.  The SWAPportunity worked like this (follow closely):

Bring two items gently worn that you don’t mind parting with (like seriously, you wouldn't care seeing your item on someone else who’s rocking the ish out of it!).  And please, no Indian-givers.  

Okay so, pick a number from 1-7 (or however many people are participating). Choose from one of the blind items (no peeking)!

Numbers 1-7 can pick whatever items they choose, BUT (here’s the kicker), they can also have those items “taken” from them (so I’d advise having a poker face IF you like what you've picked).  If for some reason your item is “stolen”, don’t fret, you get another chance to choose something else OR you can steal something from someone else.  You just can’t steal back the item that was just taken from you.  Um…that was a mouthful.

The person that chose number 7 (or the last person) is sitting pretty.  They can choose a new item, OR steal from someone else.  This is the best position to be in because the last person has now seen what everyone has picked.  Not fair, but fair! 

Last but not least, an item can only be “stolen/taken” up to three times, and after that, it’s a wrap.  The person to steal the item last, WINS!

All in all, this was super fun!   Not only is it a bunch of fashionistas getting together and giving away adorable items (in most cases), but you’re catching up with friends, possibly making new ones, plus, getting your grub and drink on.  What could be better than this?!  Not to mention, this was a bottomless mimosa and bloody Mary type of brunch, so the champs and vodka was definitely flowing.  Way to go Oscar (he was our server)!!  My glass was NEVA empty.  Holler!! And, what’s better than drunk shopping?!  FREE drunk shopping, right!  Brunch wasn't all that expensive either.  I got away with spending right around $30 bucks.  On budget for me!  I win.

So, the moral of the story is, if you have glam GF's, and you love getting together, spending time, chit chatting and sip sipping, than arranging a SWAPportunity is highly recommended!!

Get to it Glams, times-a-tickin.

Until next time…toots!!

Good Eats, Good Company – Equator Café, Pasadena CA

THE GLAM LIFE: A FOODIES CORNER

LIVE TO EAT!!

I’m always super hyped when I find a great restaurant, lounge or bar that’s easy on my six year Louis Vuiton Joey wallet.  Yes, I said six years, but when you pay for quality it’s built to last.  Actually, it was gifted to me by a past suitor, but who’s bragging?  Certainly not me, that’s so not my style, but the fact that its Louis V means that it will always be in heavy style rotation, right?!  “Fashion fades, style is eternal.”  What?!  I didn't say it, YSL did.  Ha!

So, back to the topic at hand, I can’t really take all of the credit for this gem of a find (thanks to my lovely friend Coco, boho-chic fashionista and foodie), but I can share by spreading the word.

About a week ago, a girlfriend of mine and I caught up in Oldtown/Downtown Pasadena (cute little suburbanite city right outside of LA) at a place called Equator Café.  It’s an eclectic hodgepodge of Asian, French and Gothic Bordeaux all fused into one.  The eats are delish, mostly consisting of an infused Asian cuisine with tidbits of American fare tucked in here and there. 

We shared the Chicken Sate ($1 - might I add), Seaweed Salad, and for all the cheese lovers out there, blue cheese fresh cut French fries – to die for, literally!!  The fries are A-MA-ZING!!  It was like a blue cheese gravy river spread all over the fries.  Heaven in your mouth!  Plus, they have the normal entrees to choose from as well.  

As for libations, they have a pretty good selection of mouth watering martinis, creative cocktails, a solid beer selection, all types of wines and trendy specialty drinks.  Not to mention, great happy hour selections, like $1 Tuesday Martinis and $3 cocktails and apps on Thursday.  

It's a very chill vibe during the week, with a DJ spinning on certain days, so I’m sure it gets super crowded at those times.

Definitely somewhere worth checking out, especially if in this neck of the woods!  Be inspired to try new things and different places...

Until next time...toots!
