My new vintage kimono made it out again this weekend ...
I finally got to wear it styled for the party it was purchased for!
My kimono's first outing was herewhere I styled it for a more casual night out.
But this time out I pulled out all of my style stopsbecause I was lucky enough to be invited at another of the French Basketeer's legendary partiesat her Laguna Beach home.
It was an evening I have been waiting for with great anticipation!
My Trina TurkPalm Springs sandalspaired perfectly with the kimono.
I finished the look off with a turban and shell earrings I designed.
Underneath I wore my silk paired skirtswith a my vintage YSL lace blouse.My corded belt kept the kimono wrapped in place.
And then it was off to the beautiful Laguna Beachand the stunning historical residence of the French Basketeerwhose parties are legendary not only for her artistic and sumptuous entertaining skillsbut even more so for her masterful gathering of fascinating guests for her parties!
Magic is always in the air at Andrea's parties …You can feel it wafting throughthe truly romantic space.It is what party dreams are made of!
Sitting down to a lavishly set table on the veranda with the most marvelous food being passedwhile getting lost in fascinating conversationswith her most marvelous guestsis a true gift to my soul.
Andrea's attention to detailand sublime entertaining artistrymakes attending her parties an honor
and
an always magical memory.
