The Grand Opening of Glendale Bloomingdales/VH1 Save the Music Foundation

As you may already know *from my Instagram* Antz pulled a "Hey, wanna go to an event 5 minutes before it starts?" on me today. Well, of course I'm game! He got an invite for a black and white themed party at the new Bloomies in Glendale. Any party that hands out masks at the door is my kind of affair. It's funny how much black and white attire we've acquired in the last year, so we were prepared on short notice. I had many wardrobe choices for Liv but we decided to give her Misha Lulu striped dress it's last soiree before it's retired to her clothes-I'm-hoarding-that-don't-fit-anymore drawer. You would think the party was in Olivia's honor the way she schmoozed the crowd and posed for photos.

 Bloomingdale's director was captivated by Olivia. They had a nice chat about her Ban.do accessories.

 Happy Hanukkah to me??!!

 So I met this pretty rad chick, her name is Samantha fucking Ronson!! We are totally buddies now, she's gonna DJ Liv's birthday party. She told me to use hashtag #wutangisforthechildren

 The store was lovely

 Every single person told us she was adorable and she should be a model...yeah, I feel the same way too folks. There were lot's of Bloomingdales executives and very wealthy peeps who were there to donate to the VH1 Save the Music foundation

 Checking out the Ralph Lauren dresses in the kid's department.

 Hello Christian Dior metallic pink pumps! I would never wear them, just frame them and look at them

 All boots need confetti in the heel!

 Hello handsome!

Our lovely three year old, looking like a pro on the black carpet. One of the paparazzi dudes snapped her photo so look out for her in People magazine!

 Gift bags

 So what was in that swag bag you say? A tote bag that I can have monogrammed on the 8th, $25 gift card, some gross colored nail polished appropriately named "load" and some old lady smelling eau de parfum. Thanks Bloomies!

Thanks for the fun evening my love!!

Dia de los Muertes 2013

We held our seventh year tradition of going to the Day of the Dead festival at Self Help Graphics in East LA last night. Since we were pretty tired after ballet class, we took a family nap but ended up over sleeping *which was lovely*  We missed our window to take the train to the festival so instead we picked up my Mom and drove over.

Our sugar skull faces

I'm happy she could join us since November 2nd was my Grandmother Louise's birthday. She passed away in 1987 so we were able to say a prayer for her.

Me, my Mommy & Grandma Louise in 1986

When we got there the event was in full swing. Antz, Liv and my Mom went straight for the tamales while I got a burger and fries *I know, I'm lame cause I'm not an authentic Mexican food fan* Call me loco!

Showing generosity

These guys scarfed down tamales

Liv's Padrinos!! Too bad I didn't get a shot of Leslie's adorable lotteria skirt

This lucha was made out of cardboard

Way to photobomb us random lady!

We had no idea what this guy was talking about but he was sweet

el diablo

Finally knocked out!

Another incredible Day of the Dead. Can't believe this year is almost over. Next weekend we are going to Liv's future school for an open house. I have the worst butterflies about getting into this school!!
