Last week I was lucky enough to go to not one, but two book signingsfor Ari Cohen's newest bookAdvanced Style Older And Wiser!
For such an exciting dayI knew I wanted an outfit that could take me from morning to night!
For methe best way to always to thatis with a core outfit baseand changes of accessories!I for one can never stand to wear the same outfit day into nighteven at home.So simply changing outfit building blocksis a sure fire way to feel new and refreshedeven when changing at a hotel or home is an option.
I had been wondering what I would be wearing for such an auspicious occasionas an Advanced Style book signingespeciallysince I knew so many of my favorite style muses would be attending!
I opted for my go to color palette of my beloved cremes.I chose a mid calf culottemy always in rotationFree People slip tunicwith a wrap tie blouse over the tunicFrom this base I knew I could style several outfits for the days special events!
The first fabulous event waslunching with the always chic and stylishDorrie from
Senior Style Bibleand her beautiful daughter Jodie!They were both in Beverly Hills visiting from Las Vegas.
Jodie had arranged a fantastic table at the uber chicCecconi's
in West hollywood.
What a stylish movie production following this restaurant pulls in!Chic people watching to be sure!
After lunch it was photo shoot timewhere we had a few from Italywho asked to be in the pictures!
After the photo shootJeff and I spent some time exploring the neighboring areas.
We stopped for a cocktail at Sur.Those of you who watch Vanderpump Rulesorthe Housewives of Beverly Hills are sure to recognize it.
Next it was off to the long awaited book signing atBook Soup in Hollywood!
For the book signingI did a mini changethat consisted of different accessories.
I added my faux fur vestover my base creme outfit velvet hydrangea crownvintage crystal earringsbone and crystal bracelets
and
Tom Ford glasses
