Hollywood Bowl with Seu Jorge & Bebel Gilberto

The makings of one of the most beautiful nights spent. A night that makes you wish you had every family member with you, old and young. Grams and Pops would have loves it!

I had never been to the bowl before, needless to say...I'm hooked. We got to bring goodies in, a couple bottles of wine...some cheeses, nuts, berries, and cookies. (what can I say?) We sat literally in the middle of everything on long benches, hard to get in and out...but where would you want to go during such amazing performances? Oh, did I mention the amazing fireworks and Brazilian samba dancers, yeah






Seu Jorge, maybe most famously from Life Aquatic, as Pelé Dos Santos, and is musical mastermind of some of the best music on the soundtrack, and an amazing David Bowie cover. He also appeared in the film City of God as Mané Galinha. AND HE'S HAS MADDDD STYLE AND GORGEOUS FEATURES. end of story.






Bebel Gilberto, born Isabel Gilberto de Oliveir is an American-born Grammy Award-nominated Brazilian popular singer often associated with bossa nova. She is the daughter of João Gilberto and singer Miúcha. Some ammmmazing roots if you ask me. Basically what you should know about her is she is a women who oooooooooozzzzzes sexuality and confidence.






...an overall super night that just reminds me again that just because I don't live in the decade of my choice, sometimes I can pretend and others join in on the fun.

Duffy, thanks for telling him girl....

I don't know if Duffy dated the same person I did, but damn girl. I FEELLLL YOU!



"You try to convince me
Oh, about the possibilities
But I know that all your poetry
Just comes from insecurity

'Cause your actions speak nothing no more
When it's what I've been waiting for
'Cause you've taken too much time"

Woodstock of 69'

Had a little mommy and me date, if you will.

She was "too young" to go to Woodstock 69' buttt that didn't stop her from sharing every last detail about everything that was familiar to her in Taking Woodstock.Such a cutie.

I must say that the movie starts off a little slow. The main character...Jake, played by Henry Goodman... was hard to love at first. But it really picks up after an acid trip scene at the festival with actor Paul Dano (LOVE HIM from Little Miss Sunshine and newer one, Gigantic, with the lovey Zoey Deschanel)

Biggest let down was that theres not a whole lot of music played or shown. Sad. However, when they have their trip it's one of the best scenes I've seen in ages. When the crowd becomes a wave, magical.

To end, Mom loved it. I really liked it after all things said and done. If you, your mom, or anyone amazing is down to see maybe the best era ever, go see it. Plus, damn....of course...THE CLOTHES!!!!!



Ohhh Woodstock...

Hannah Camarata: FLV Shoot

Just a few of the lovely, lovely pictures of Hannah during our FLV shoot a couple weeks back. More to come...









Happy Tuesday!

Sunday Fun Day

This weekend as a whole has been pretty damn near amazing.
Friday night we did FLV photo shoot until about 11PM, but only got about 1/3 done. But just felt amazing to finally be DOING IT!

Saturday was GREAT because I literally did nothing. Jumped in the pool, made mussels, had some pals over...and at the last minute, Japes and I decided to go to LA that night and wake up for the UNIQUE LA mini market/Farmers Market.


Unique LA

My bigger joy of the day was finding...Oh Hello Friend

I didn't buy anything on sunday...because well, I am amazing broke as a joke. But I was totally digging on 92.7% of all the designers and artists that day.




Japes and I ending up watching Paper Heart at the Archlight that afternoon. But not before we enjoyed a cocktail at the cafe bar. What a nice, nice day!

long weekend.

It was a long weekend. Wedding in Santa Barbara, Dodger's game with the fam, & eating/drinking everything that is wrong! My liver hates me. So what if I woke up at eleven today.



Canary Hotel Room


Hotel Lobby

The hotel was super cute. Very Spanish colonial. It was apart of The Leading Small Hotels of the World. Ha how Japes and I love our hotel labels! Lunch was so so, but it might have just been the fact that I couldn't really keep anything down after a night of cheap wine drinking! Damn you pinot grigio, what did I ever do to you? We promise to go back...we really didn't get to spend anytime in the hotel because we were running off to the wedding.

I didn't get any pictures really because I broke our camera....damn you pinot grigio again! BUT I WORE THIS....which I was so excited about!



dodger game...great, dodger dog? Didn't really live up to it's name. Can home...tired, tired, tired and watched the first dvd of the second season of Flight of the Concords! Beautiful.

Now I'm getting back to serious. Hopefully buying the mannequin today and setting up this weeks shoots. Check back!

fantasy shoot

We did it! Yeah, I might have been like a good 90 degrees outside...but we made it happen! Here are just a few pictures from my iPhone to give you a sneak peek ;)

Thank you to my amazing team today, we had so much fun! The girls looked amazing...everyone loved the clothes...makeup off the charts...just really positive all the way around! Even with my massive hangover today, things got cute!

All smiles...today was a great day!

from the beginning...

I want to start off my saying that it's happening...

The very idea that started a little over a year ago and has had a large piece of my heart and given be mini heart attacks along the way is now coming to life and taking form. I was working at what was suppose to be my dream job that kind of fell flat and came across my inspiration. An idea, that I could work for myself...buy things that I love...connect with people and showcase their talents...give back...and express and show the world what I love about fashion!


That anything worth spending good hard cash on should end up VINTAGE!

I love that a quality piece of fashion can continue to have value, be loved all over again for the first time, and be seen as NEW.

First Love Vintage is about having fun, looking back, making smart buying decisions, and doing something for a greater cause. If anything I hope that people will read this blog and maybe get their own inspiration. I love reading/seeing what makes people tick...get up in the morning...or gives them the chills.

Future is ultra bright....I've been so blinded by it for a while now...but I finally invested in a good set of shades and I'm ready to show you what makes me smile.
