My darlings, are you ready for the weekend? I feel like the week just started, but I’m not complaining. Before I skedaddle off to meet Simon Doonan at his Barney’s Beverly Hills book signing (1-3pm today!), I wanted to share a few photos from the YOUNG by Yoyo Yeung spring ’12 preview that I attended last night…and let you in on the most comfortable heels in the world!

A preview is simply a chance for press and retail buyers to preview a collection before it hits stores. It’s a fun opportunity to get a peek at what trends we can expect this spring (which is right around the corner!).

It was an evening event, but I wanted to be comfy and warm so I wore a long vintage dress (yet another dress I bought as a potential wedding dress), a ladylike jacket and my comfiest heels.

I love these Jeffrey Campbell platforms so much I can’t believe I haven’t written about them before. Not only do they make you six inches taller, the thick platform makes them extremely comfortable, too. Plus the suede is soft as butter. Mine are nude which no longer seem to be available, but you can find them in a very similar rose suede here. Update: You can find them here!

But back to the clothes we were there to preview… YOUNG by Yoyo Yeung is an LA and Hong Kong-based line that shares my same fondness for sparkle! I coveted this sequin jacket for day or night and loved the embellished sleeves on the sheer blouses.

I also thought this white sequin shift was darling to the max and loved this dazzling periwinkle sequin jacket. Spring is looking mighty sparkly! Are you as excited about that as I am? You can peruse the collection here.

Wishing you a dazzling weekend xx!

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a Golden Globes kick-off party at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood, hosted by Audi and jewelry designer Martin Katz. Here are a few snapshots from the event and what I wore…

My favorite Los Angeles fashion designer, Lisa Michelle, lent me some darling options…

I ended up choosing this silky espresso romper, which I paired with a glittering beaded Lisa Michelle bow belt to add a girly touch and a bit more shape to my waist.

I love a good bow, so added these bow-adorned blush-toned heels, too.

I tossed on some diamond earrings, slipped into my favorite Kristen McCloud cuff, and painted my nails with Galion by NARS and was ready to hit the town.

I had fun on the red carpet with friend and fellow fashion editor Sydne Summer (don’t you *love* her black-and-white shift?).

Speaking of black and white, I loved the black-and-white striped floors at Cecconi’s.

I can’t help it; it’s the details that excite me!

Of course, it was fun spotting celebrities — and what they were wearing — too. Black and white were the colors of the night. Zoe Saldana dazzled in Jason Wu and Julie Bowen looked like anything but a soccer mom in Naaem Khan. Also in attendance were Ian Gomez from Cougar Town, Johnny Galecki from Big Bang Theory, Joel McHale of Community, Jesse Tyler Ferguson from Modern Family, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer from The Help, Rachel Hunter and Maria Menounos, among others.

In addition to star-gazing, we couldn’t resist having a little fun in the photo booth! It was such a lovely night and I can’t wait until the Golden Globes this Sunday (watching the red carpet is my fave!).

Will you be tuning in to the Golden Globes? Do you have any red-carpet faves? If you were nominated, what would you wear?
