Interminable Night


It is finally spring. I'm seeing flowers and sunlight. Glory to the sun. I saw Swedish musicians Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar a couple weeks ago at the El Rey theater in Los Angeles. Anna Ternheim, another talented Swedish songstress, opened the show. It was a wonderful night of soulful music and I had lots of fun. I went with my lovely friend Jackie H of sweatersandvests.blogspot.com. Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar were truly amazing... Check their music out!

Many of us wear contacts...If you wear contacts, Lensshopper.com is the place to get your contacts! They're cheap, and durable, something we want in everything we buy. Here's a link to some coupons! Getting lenses on the internet is convenient and fast.. hassle-free! So I say check them out for sure, they're reliable and definitely worth the money.

So how is everyone? My life has been a busy blur the past couple of months with so many events and deadlines to meet. I am currently working on an article for the fashion spot about indepedent designers. When it's finished, I'll include a link for you guys!

I am in love with a new label. Designed impeccably by Joanne Reyes, Vicente Villarin is a line that Reyes named after her grandfather. Couture-inspired frothy frocks make up most of the collection. The pieces flatter figures and make women feel bold and daring, while staying elegant and classy of course.


Debuting with a Fall 2008 collection, Reyes has worked with a number of famed designers such as J. Mendel, Ji Haye, and Monique Lhuillier. For this Vicente Villarin collection, she was inspired by the classical architecture present in Paris and Florence. The result is clothing that flatters the form, is geometrically pleasing to the eye, embodies soft yet elegant colors, and gives joy to the wearer.


Ciao, bella!
