alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet x FriendsWithYou Launch Party

Boy does Stacy Bendet do know how to throw a party! Yesterday I attended alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet x FriendsWithYou Launch Party at the Hollywood Athletic Club. There was a bounce house, lots of yummy drinks, claw machines, dancing clouds, celebrities and candies everywhere.. so pretty much every girl’s dream come true. Check out their new collection here Alice & Olivia x FriendsWithYou

 The collaboration launches as part of alice + olivia’s Art Collective, a series of creative partnerships with renowned artists that began in 2013. The FriendsWithYou collaboration debuted in Los Angeles during an alice + olivia event that gathers the LA art scene in Hollywood, combining art, fashion, and fun.

alice + olivia’s Stacey Bendet was drawn to FriendsWithYou artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval’s joyous post-pop imagery and colorful style, and saw how their magical worlds would translate into whimsical, wearable art. The collection itself puts optimism at the forefront, with FriendsWithYou’s signature smiling cloud graphic drifting across knitwear, skirts, accessories and shoes. In the mix are alice + olivia’s saturated rainbows, with West Coast inspired silhouettes.

During the Art Collective event, alice + olivia will also launch its Kindness campaign T-shirt in partnership with Ditch the Label, the anti-bullying charity dedicated to promoting equality and providing support to young people who have been negatively affected by bullying and prejudice. alice + olivia created a black t-shirt with bold, white messaging: Kindness Is For Everyone. The shirt will be available in alice + olivia stores and online; a portion of the proceeds will go to Ditch the Label.

The Scenario Studio

Need new instagram photos for you squad? Or a new profile picture? Taking amazing photos has never become so easy with the newest pop-up museum in la la land. The Scenario Studios has been hired by celebrities and Fortune-500 companies to produce elaborate private photo shoots at their parties and events. The only guests who were able to enjoy a Scenario photo shoot had to be connected to a celebrity or large company, but now, for the first time ever, the public is invited to join the likes of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Kanye West, the Kardashians, and over 100 other celebrities who have experienced Scenario on set.

Now, for the first time ever, the “most expensive photo booth in the world” is available to the general public for the price of a museum ticket, located in the heart of LA inside the Grand Central Market. They just had their grand opening today – so rush now and grab your tickets! Bring your friends, bring a date or just bring yourself.

TIP: Come looking your best and ready to play!  Think first date, your BFF’s birthday party, meeting the parents, a pricey restaurant, family photo, first day at a new job, or knowing someone planned a surprise party for you.  Better styling = better photos!

Here’s few of the photos that my friends and I took from the Scenario Studio.

Hope you enjoy,

Joy

Endless Summer Photo Meet

Hi friends,

A few weeks ago, my best friend and I hosted our second photo meet up at the Venice Canals in Venice Beach. Here’s a preview of some of my favorite shots by our huge photography community in Los Angeles. A Photomeet is a meet up event normally hosted by someone of a few people who gathers photographers, models, creators, influencers to create content, collaborate and magic together. It’s a great way to network, meet new friends, make different connections and get to know your city a little bit.

For this meet, we wanted to host it at the Venice Canals as there’s something about the canals that are beautiful and majestic.

Lavender Festival

It’s that time again when one of my favorite festivals at Highland Springs Ranch is here, The Lavender Festival! I love that it’s a family friendly festival yet, it’s also great for a romantic date. We came on the first opening weekend and there were actually less people than we expected, so less crowds, better opps! 😉 The scenery was lovely per usual and this year we ate at the buffet dinner (make reservations here ahead of time) We came late because we were too busy taking picture at the lavender field and ended up sitting in the middle of everything and got our own sweet table. I loved the scenery and being surrounded with light and eating underneath tall trees. The food itself was just okay to me but I was obsessed with their lavender tea and lavender lemonade! I actually mix them together and it was amazing. We also visited a few shops before we had dinner and Eddie bought so much stuff for the kitchen. We are both obsessed with lavender honey and lavender mint tea! Here are few of the photos we took below. There’s also an afternoon tea which we missed this year but definitely would love to try next year!

Tulip Festival

Happy Earth Day!!

Last Friday I went to the Roozengaarde Tulip Festival and I fell in love!!! I made a beautiful red two piece dress and took pictures with the flowers. Roozengarde is located at Skagit Valley in Washington. I was so excited about this festival that I flew all the way from Los Angeles. One of my blogger friends Sera from Sera Stardust actually lives close by at the Tulip Festival and was the one that informed me about it. I was super stoked that we decided to meet up and do a collab. Unfortunately, it rained when we went so it was a bit muddy but we still tried to make the most out of it. P.S. We both made our outfits! 😉

If you’d like to visit the festival, here’s a few tips I have for you:

  1. Check the weather. It’s always raining in Seattle and we forgot to bring an umbrella. My boyfriend and I had to stop by at Walmart and buy an umbrella before heading to the festival.
  2. Wear rain boots! I wasnt ready for the rain and the mud is real!!! I couldnt get close to the flowers and it was muddy everywhere that my shoes got ruined.
  3. Bring cash. There’s food trucks and festival food being sold and having cash is important!
  4. Rain or shine, choose to have fun!
  5. Do not pick the flowers and enjoy nature!

Here’s a few of the photos that were taken at the festival.

I highly suggest going and I hope you enjoy your visit.

XO,

Joy

Splitting From The Crowd With Reebok

I cannot believe it’s Thanksgiving weekend already!! Which means the non stop festivities and gobbling begins. As much as I love food so much, I also realized as I grew older how important it is to take care of your body – as when you reach your late twenties, it no longer bounces back the way it use to on your early twenties. So as Thanksgiving arrives this week, I had to make sure to squeeze in as many work out sessions as I can and prep my body – which involves – stretching, running and squats. Thank you Reebok for these Sole Fury shoes! I love how bold they are and the street wear look goes with any work out outfit that I have. It’s anything but ordinary, from innovative details with Spilt Cushioning technology for light weight comfort and flexible propulsion, I am obsessed! Split from the crowd now, stand out and grab one for yourself!

Hope everyone had an amazing Halloween this year! For this year’s Halloween I decided to take a fashion editorial shoot using the Roccoco Fashion as an inspiration. I created this headpiece with fall colored flowers and painted the sticks gold. For my outfit, I decided to use a vibrant magenta charmeuse to complete the look and made a blousony dress. I wanted this photoshoot to focus more on the dramatic hair and make up done by my dear friend, Celina

Photography: Eduardo Salazar

I enjoyed doing this photoshoot so much and the process on making this happen. For my fellow creators and my viewers, do you prefer this high fashion content or more of everyday lifestyle?

The pier house

For the past seven months, I have been one of those people who take the pandemic very seriously and have tried my best not to go out or dine outside due to safety precautions. However, when I was invited by The Pier House to dine in their patio right in front of Venice Beach, I… Continue reading →
