Beverly Wilshire Hotel

I have been away for a long time :(((

Thank you for all your messages and support!

Finally on a law tuesday night i found the time to concetrate and write my BLOG and tell you all about what has been going on lately...

where to start?

Lets start from the AMAZING John Wayne Cancer Institude annual Gala

It was at the Beverly Wilshire HOTEL, which is totally magnificent!

if you have seen the movie Pretty Woman- who hasn't right:)
thats the Hotel that it was filmed at...

When Julia Roberts was walking in the lobby back from her shopping spree at Rodeo Drive, ahhh FAB!

i couldnt find the picture for that scene- but heres another one,

where they are leaving Beverly Wilshire Hotel for the OPERA in San Fransicso

I think i have seen this movie like 30 times LOL

so anyways the Gala was an amazing night-the entairtainment was by Rachael MacFarlane( American Dad, Family Guy)

and Lots of donation from supporters, especially during the live auction!

I want to talk about the Institude- because their work and research on cancer is so remarkable- very happy to support this cause...I beleive that all of us; one way or abother affected by this horrible disease...families... loved ones...friends...so when its time to show and give back to this kind of resarch i am very willing to be a part of it...

I was one of the attendies on the tip sheet

always fun to do the Red Carpet!

I am so loving my look! my stylist did a great job

details:

dress: Roberto Cavalli

shoes: Christian Louboutin

clutch: Nordstrom

necklace: from Istanbul

fur jacket: Guy Laroche, Paris

My hairstylist Mina did my hair- A FAB updo!

my secret is that we add this little bump on the top for the pony tail

I loveee that style

next time for this updo- i will have my sides pulled back even tighter-so that the bump would look more significant!

my make up is by Melanie
she is with Sephora
some of the girls there are just fantastic thats why i actually take time to drive over there and get it done!

.....

so after this Glamourous event- i had my Tommy's Burger craving which is almost always...
Tommy's Burger is this little corner place- well right now they made it into a big chain restaurant :)
but i like the original location which is in LA close to downtown-where it all started

i never drive there myself, its always with my friends so honestly i still don't know the exact adress but everybody knows Tommy's Burger in LA
easy to find out!
and
its always open 24/7

and you will see limousines pulled up people in gowns and tuxedos eating the most delicious greasy food in the world

Chili BURGER
and
Chili Fries

Michelle did a great job- as she helped a lot to her mom
it was so neat and chic and classy

I love classy elegance
