HELLO FROM LA!!

Hello lovely friends!! I can't tell you how wonderful it's felt to be back in my hometown of LA...

I flew in Saturday afternoon to loads of chilly but beautiful sunshine, and it's already been a whirlwind of fun! We kicked things off with a premiere party for the adorable and talented Emily Henderson's Secrets From a Stylist on Saturday night (have you watched? did you love?).

Then Sunday it was off to brunch with friends before heading to lunch at the stunning estate of Tony Duquette - Dawnridge - which I'll share more of later today.

After that we buzzed around town taking in some Oscar energy and ended the evening with a wonderful dinner at Ago, hosted by the folks at Sub-Zero. (The most amazingly delicate ravioli I've ever had!).

I've hardly had a moment to breathe and will be speaking in just a couple of hours for the Design Bloggers Conference, so I'm off to get ready! More photos and fun from la la land soon...

xoxo,
cassandra

    Hope your talk goes swimmingly - sad that my full time gig is keeping me away from the blogger's conference. Although I DID happen to see Emily in person on Sunday at Joy from www.ohjoy.com's yard sale. And I watched her show too which I loved.
