Fashion & Friendship
When I first met Becca of BDezigned a few years ago, I knew right away we would be good friends because we have so much in common. I think we’re both pretty crafty and we love to DIY everything (Becca makes jewelry & fab wedding projects and I make lingerie), we are passionate about fashion…and well we both love to shop! We have collaborated on many projects in the past (including our BGlam parties) and this time it’s the K&B Fashionista Party!
It’s all about fashion and friendship, so what is better than getting together with good friends and meeting new friends who share common interests over a glass of champagne and sweets? This was our first get-together (theme: the party dress) so we kept it small, but we hope to have many more in the future with different fun themes.
Sherona’s Chocolate was where we sipped on champagne and sangria, while dipping our strawberries and marshmallows in chocolate fondue fountains… Sherona and Megan was such a pleasure to work with. If you haven’t already, check out their cute little shop in San Mateo for your next event or if you just need a sweet fix.
Remember in my recent post “Token of Love” where I mentioned I spent the weekend making these bracelets for a special occasion coming up? This was actually a token of “our” love for the guests! :)
I started my personal style blog a few months ago (late December) and was lucky to come across some really sweet bloggers in the SF area. I thought it would be awesome to meet and chat with the ladies whom I’ve only interacted with via blog comments…and I had the pleasure of meeting Sabrina, Melissa and Jessica this weekend. They are so sweet and even prettier in person as they are on their blogs.
Jessica of Hapa Time and Melissa of Pretty in Polka Dots looking oh-so pretty!
So glad Sabrina of The Petite Style made it! She’s such a sweetie and I love our girl talk! :)
Becca made these adorable paper clutches complete with damask lining and pockets!

I absolutely love your dress! The bracelets are beautiful, and it’s even more amazing that it was DIY! The event seemed like such a fabulous time! Jess (from HapaTime) told me about your blog. I’m from the bay area too! I’m actually a new blogger too and so I haven’t figured out the whole networking thing yet, but it’d be so fun to meet other fashionistas from the same area! =) You have a lovely style and I am a lover of positive quotes too so I think it’s so awesome that you include those in your posts! I’m following you now through Bloglovin! If you get a sec, I’d love if you’d check out my blog =)

Everything was beautiful! What material/thread did you use to wrap around the bracelets? They are so cute!
Thanks!
Hi Starr, I used the threads from Michaels. I don’t know what material it is but it comes in these little tiny string tubes, usually stocked in the back by the yarn. Hope that helps!
Hi KTR,
I love your blog and all of your beautiful fashion!!! Just wanted to say a quick thank you for sharing this BCBG dress with us – it looks so feminine and elegant on you – I’m definitely going to get it!!! :)
I love your blog and your amazing sense of style! I’m definitely a huge fan! That dress look so amazing on you, I have to go out and find it now! :)

It looks like you had a great time at your party. I wish I could have been there. Maybe one day when I come to Cali…. You looks so pretty in that dress and I love your hair like that!
Hey Layla! Yes! When you come to Cali, we should def have lunch or something! :D
What a fun idea for a party! You ladies look fabulous and ever-so fashionable! I am in the SF bay area and would love to attend the next event. Please keep me posted!
Thank you and will do Kelly!
WOW! Looks like an awesome party and everyone looked like they had a wonderful time! Wish I was there! :) All the DIY was just really fun and cute, and the details of sweets made me want to eat a cookie now. Haha!
You and your co-host look so cute and your dress, I LOVE that dress, but I can’t find it anywhere online. Can you tell me where you purchased yours?
At Bloomingdales :)
I cannot put in words how amazing you always look in your blog posts. The dress you’re wearing here is amazing!
Looks like a successful party :)
