HSH GETAWAY VIDEO : LAS VEGAS

Last month, I was in Vegas for MAGIC/PROJECT soaking up the sun and fashion.

I cut together a little vid recap of the trip. In between pool time and gambling, I previewed a few collections like Willow and Clay, Lost for Her and Black Sheep. It wasn't all work - there was some play. It is Vegas after all. Anyway, check it out for yourself.

SOLVANG

So, when I was up the Central Coast recently, I made a pit stop in Solvang.

I've actually never been, but it was on my list of places to go. Enough people have told me about it that I insisted that we stopped by so I go see it for myself. I mean, I had to see all of this Dutch architecture that was in the middle of CA.

A random vintage car show rolled through town.



It was just a quick stop but definitely fun. In just a short time I was able to do some window shopping, eat some fudge, check out some antiques and snap a few photos.



Pretty successful - although next time I want to spend time at one of the cute little wine cafes :)

HSH X BLACK SHEEP GIVEAWAY



I just launched the newest HSH vid with Rachel Anne Rainwater, the designer for Black Sheep Clothing and I'm pretty stoked about it. Rachel Anne has such a great story and personal style - love her shoes.

We also have a little contest in the works. We're giving away a Star Gazer dress and Clover Skirt - Like Black Sheep on Facebook and follow @hangershortage on Twitter and fill out the entry form on Rachel Anne's style interview page.

Good Luck Babes

CALI CENTRAL COAST

Things have been pretty hectic - lots going on. All good of course, but when the opportunity to head up to the Central Coast came up, I was all about it.

I literally packed up just a tiny sling bag with a few pieces for the weekend. It felt good and carefree to just throw in a couple things that could all work together and that was it.



The Central Coast is so beautiful - the air is clean and the colors are almost more crisp. I felt happy and inspired just driving down the coast, windows down, music blasting. Even when things get really busy, you still need to find time to trigger creativity and let your mind be free.

More Central Coast photos later - XOXO

LAS VEGAS : MAGIC/PROJECT

It was that time of summer again - I was out last week at MAGIC/PROJECT in the Vegas desert heat.

I actually headed out a couple days early to soak up the sun. The first night I checked out a little boutique hotel called Rumor. It was pretty cool - it's close to The Strip and right across from the Hard Rock. I really liked the room decor a lot. It was nice - just no casino : /



I hit up PROJECT the first day and met with Rebecca Michaels at her booth and checked out her collection. Rebecca is the designer/owner of Violet Love Brands and originally started out designing cute headbands and then evolved into the apparel side of the industry.

I also ran into Rachel Anne at the Black Sheep booth. That booth was crazy - it was literally swamped with buyers. That line is definitely taking off. But I guess I'm not surprised - I mean, I personally fell in love with the brand when I first saw it at PROJECT in February.



Anyway, I always look forward to checking out PROJECT and all the brands, trends, and people. Stone_Cold_Fox was there with Beach Riot and they had such a cute set up. I love that these two brands teamed up and did a swimwear collab together - it turned out really awesome.



It may be 'work' during the day but come on! It's Vegas - I had to spend some time at the casino :) The rest of the time I stayed at Palms Place, which I don't even know why I'm divulging this secret, but it's seriously so nice and it's not even that expensive - yet... (you're welcome)



Day two was MAGIC. I was pretty excited to have the new Willow & Clay collection shown to me. Their line is really well done and there are a few cool unique designs coming out - I can't wait.



I also got a little preview of the Lost For Her line. I really love their combinations of lace and denim. Anyway, a special Thanks to Erika at Shout PR who helped set everything up.



OK Vegas, see you in February - XOXO

HSH GETAWAY VID : PALM SPRINGS

Last month, I a took a couple of much needed days off from the madness and made a little drive down to Palm Springs.

It was seriously like an oven over there, so a lot of time was spent in the pool, shopping and sipping on Mimosas - and I'm okay with that. I hadn't really had the chance to spend any time in Palm Springs before this, but it was super relaxing and it definitely won't be the last time. The Alcazar is by far the most perfect boutique hotel I've been to. The whole feel of the place was really inspiring and I felt so free.

Anyway, instead of sharing photos like usual, I cut together a little video recap - Enjoy.

SCF x HSH GIVEAWAY

I'm really excited to have launched the style interview video with Cyd and Dallas of Stone Cold Fox.

Check the vid and get inspired - We're also running a fun little contest and giving away a SCF Guerrilla Crop to one lucky babe.

Good Luck

AGENDA - LONG BEACH

Last week I headed over to Agenda in Long Beach.

It was pretty cool this year. I really like wandering the show - there's definitely a really fun, chill vibe.

There were a ton of things to check out and a lot of great products and designs. I really liked the stuff that Wonderland was putting out - the Stateline and Beaumont sunglasses are super cute. Also, there were some pretty rad watches from Komono that I would like to personally have on my wrist.



Anyway, the show was fun and definitely got me pretty excited to head out to Vegas for MAGIC/PROJECT at the end of the month. See ya there.
