Lindt Chocolate Golden Globes Viewing Party


I must admit being blogger here in Los Angeles has its perks. For the Golden Globes this year I was invited to a viewing party sponsored by Lindt Chocolate. Lindt chocolate was the official confection of the Golden Globe Awards this year. The theme of the party was old Hollywood opulence, glitz and glamor. So lets glam up the makeup, put on something that sparkles and walk the red carpet in a spectacular pair of heels. 
The Golden Globes were the perfect backdrop for what was the star of the evening "All the Lindt Chocolate you want".

These boxes are the same specialty chocolates created by the Master Swiss Chocolatier for the Golden Globes. They were giving these exact boxes out to all the stars at the Globes. Just to put the word out there, "Leonardo if you like these chocolates I have an extra box". 


How cute of an idea is this?! A martini glass filled with yummy chocolate balls!! So fabulous!

These are the signature pieces, same as in the boxes.  The star shaped ones are coffee and cream absolutely my favorite.

If you're wondering where these super cute bow pumps came from? The are the fabulous JustFab Collection.


The location of this party was perfect.  The lounge of the Rubix Hollywood fit perfect with the night's theme.  Of course it would since it is right around the corner from The Chinese Theater.  Old Hollywood Art Deco design with pops of bright yellows to liven it up.
The drinks were amazing, two signature cocktails The Rose Gold and The Golden Ginger which were created by Courtney of Pizzazzerie. A fun award show party should definitely have signature themed cocktails. Wine, champagne, and beer for the guys were also being served. The caterer was terrific, sliders, flatbreads, cheese and crackers, vegetables, and crabcakes constantly being replenished and passed. Very fresh and delicious. 
What makes any event special is always the people attending. I had such a great time with my friends. Marie Torto the social media specialist for Lindt Chocolate came to town and put this together.  What an amazing job!!

Thank you so much for stopping by!! For more fashion and style inspiration you can follow me on Instagram

Hollywood Mr. Bone's Pumpkin Patch

                                    Halloween Pumpkin Patch Fun                                     
Here it is Halloween, one of the greatest holidays ever celebrated. All of us remember as kids Halloween meant trick or treating and candy unofficially being declared a food group. As we get older Halloween is a reason to play dress up where stripper heels are encouraged. Guys who have spent many hours in gyms dress like spartan warriors and give their abs a final Hoorah.
As Halloween draws near it is time to select a pumpkin. I truly believe it is always more fun to head over to a traditional pumpkin patch (much better then the supermarkets). Here in Hollywood the go to spot is Mr. Bones. 

My pumpkin picking outfit is of course casual. I realize I am the High Heeled Brunette, but when tromping through the hay I prefer boots. Prada combat boots are super cute and provide that tough girl persona. Hudson Jeans are the perfect blend of fit and comfort. Star Candy tank with a sequence of rhinestone skulls, look close each skull has a heart on the forehead. All topped of with a chambray shirt (need to keep it casual).

Peter, Peter pumpkin-eater. Had a wife, and couldn't keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell, and there he kept her very well.  I'm in a nursery rhyme.

Ok this is it a 25 pounder.

It is all mine.

It's Mr. Bones!

We have a Frankenstein wedding. As a shoe lover I do have to admit I am liking these sneakers.

Wow Big Birds.

A Witch's Brew.

Here is the story of Jack O' Lanterns - Centuries ago in Ireland a man named Stingy Jack had a drink with the devil. Stingy Jack did not want to pay (hence the name stingy) so he tricked the devil into changing himself into a coin. Rather than using the coin to pay for the drinks Stingy Jack put the coin in his pocket. He had a cross in the pocket which kept the devil from coming out. Stingy jack told the devil he would release him if he promised to leave him alone for a year. After a year Stingy Jack ran into the devil again and tricked him into climbing a tree. Stingy jack carved a cross into the tree and trapped the devil again. This time he made the devil promise to leave him alone and not collect his soul upon his death. When Stingy Jack passed, the devil kept his word, but heaven would not let an unsavory man like Stingy Jack in so the devil gave Jack a piece of glowing hot coal and sent him away. He put the piece of coal into a carved out turnip and used it as lantern. He was known as Jack of the Lantern.
We carve scary faces on pumpkins and light them up as Jack O' Lanterns and put them out on Halloween to scare away Stingy Jack and other spirits.

Happy Halloween!!!
