Bloggers and Bellinis

Saturday I had the pleasure of attending Bloggers and Bellinis, an hosted by Eventbrite. Located at the private, members-only club, 41 Ocean, across the street from the beach in Santa Monica, it was the perfect setting for a group of bloggers to get together for brunch, champs, and some mingling.

 Beautiful flowers

 

My shirt matched the flowers...oops!

My place setting was so cute

 They tasted just as good as they looked

 

 

Kate of Nautical By Nature and I didn't plan matching outfits, we promise! 

 

A special thanks to the awesome products in our swag bags: Napoleon Macrons (if you're in LA, they're offering 40% off macron 6-packs with the code Bonjour Napoleon , POM Wonderful, Uber, Butterfly Floral & Event Design, and more great brands!

Summertime Sunsets

Friday my work hosted a summer party at the beach complete with mai tais, surf, sand, and an amazing sunset. I'm pretty sure there is nothing more gorgeous than the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean in Southern California. That last picture is with no filter - our beaches are that beautiful.

The Legends of the Summer

Welcome to another weekly installment of Monday Morning Gossip! Can we talk about how amazing my weekend was? I went with Kate of Nautical By Nature to see Justin Timberlake and Jay Z. 

The tour is called The Legends of the Summer for a reason, because these two are mind-blowingly good. I've never been a huge Jay Z fan. That's not to say I dislike him. His music's cool but I'm just indifferent. And while I like JT enough, I had never bought any of his albums until this latest one and I don't love it. I think half of the songs are amazing and hate the other half. But I knew this concert was a must and had to see it. It was so much better than I could have imagined.

Jay Z was incredible. I am going to download all of his albums. I'm newly obsessed. Justin's voice is just as perfect live as recorded. He's the epitome of an entertainer. And the fact he's hot doesn't hurt. If you haven't seen them in concert, DO!!

I uploaded a few videos to Instagram, but couldn't figure out how to get them uploaded to the blog. If you want to see them, follow me, @jointhegossip!

Get the Look: Julianne Hough's Casual Street Style

 

 

I have a thing for contrasting styles: soft and hard, sweet and edgy, structured and ripped. Pairing a blazer with distressed pants is one of my favorite looks. I love Julianne Hough's casual street style look above. Not only is it sophisticated, it's also fresh and fun. What's your take on this mixing trend?

Tomorrow I'm going to a blogger brunch here in LA, this would be the perfect outfit. Maybe I'll try to re-create it! You'll find out on Monday ;)

On Sunday I'm off to the Justin Timberlake/Jay Z show. ICANNOTWAIT! Should be a good weekend. I'll see you all back here in a few days for Monday Morning Gossip!

This Week in Music

The countdown has begun! Sunday the Legends of Summer tour makes a stop in LA. I'm pretty excited for the show, it's going to be insane. Right now I am OBSESSED with Holy Grail and looking forward to hearing that song live more than any other from JT or Jay Z. Pusher Love comes in second as favorite song. Full recap next Monday for sure!

Now here's the part where I expect to get hate but whatever, haters gonna hate! I love me some One Direction. Best Song Ever was released Monday and I've had it on repeat. Even if you're not a fan of 1D you have to admit the tune is catchy. And how adorable is Harry Styles' character in the music video? Check out the Best Song Ever music video, you'll fall in love with him ;)
