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!

Yesterday we explored Pioneertown, today let’s frolick through Joshua Tree. But let’s take the road less traveled…

With its wide open desert landscape, Joshua Tree is my favorite National Park — and the perfect spot to break in my new boots.

In previous visits, we had only followed the well-marked roads.

This time, however, we decided to get lost on the dirt roads outside of Joshua Tree to see what we could find…

Eureka Peak, for starters!

It’s a little cool up here, so why don’t we put on our jackets?

Can you believe this view? I know.

Before it gets too late (and dark!), why don’t we explore the park a little and watch the sunset through the Joshua Trees?

Amazing.  Now, let’s go back to Rock Reach where we can enjoy our very own private Joshua Tree xx!

Mad Men is back this Sunday (topless Don Draper alert!), which means it’s time to start planning what we’ll wear with our martinis. Other than olives. A Betty Draper-worthy vintage dress should do the trick. And we’ve found the choicest at Adore Vintage. From pretty and playful to charming and cha-cha-ching, we love the sweet frocks from the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. Each is one of a kind, which means no twin Bettys at your cocktail soiree, but also means you better scoop up what you love fast, darling. Where to become a total Betty?

Right here.
