TANTALIZING THURSDAY.

So the day starts off with another day at work with my favorite, Vanessa! For lunch (best time of the day), we head over to Urth Caffe and do some serious take-out. I know, this is my second time in two days, and ya know what? I got the same thing - Spinach & Mushroom Quiche with Mixed Greens. Is eating too much Quiche, i.e. 2 in 2 days, horrible? Whatever, that ain't gonna stop me! Anyway, I just had to capture the random lunch we had, with Vanessa's ginormous Tostada:And my two-time quiche set for champions:After another full day of work and a little bit of uncertainty, we head down to El Segundo to the Seychelles office, where this Seychelles/BC & WeSC event took place. Although we arrived around the time it was supposed to end, it was still poppin'! There were current WeSC and Seychelles/BC items for sale, and O.P.I. were giving manicures while Smashbox took care of the makeovers! Too bad they were both done by the time we got there...there's always next time! While we waited for Elaine, we checked out the setup. Here's the WeSC retail area:
Vanessa's GOT the face. She just has it in her - don't you just wanna buy the shirt now?
WeSC denim: Japanese Selvege & regular:
The Seychelles/BC retail corner was poppin' off with various current styles for under retail, and of course, what's better than magazine advertisements and flower bouquets all around to complement the shoes?!
Nicole and Natalie from GirlsDrawinGirls, an AMAZING collaborative of cute girls with talent & ambition, representing ladies in the animation industry. These ladies are on point with their unique, individual styles of drawing women in various forms, and their new book, entitled "Once Upon A Girl" is going to be a fairy-tale based animation book of none other than girls!The current book, entitled, "A Girl In Time" - tackling women's roles and images throughout history. It is put together very nicely, while each piece of work from each different artist has its own flair and style, which is what makes up GirlsDrawinGirls:One of our favorite pieces that the ladies showed us: KAMIKAZE!!!
Vanessa showin' off the GDG sticker, watch out for these ladies and their work, "Once Upon A Girl" drops next month!!We just L-O-V-E-d her dress/belt/hair/outfit, so of course I'ma ask for a picture:
And to top off the ensemble: none other than some Seychelles:
Smashbox was on a hiatus once we got there - still looked like it showed some love though.
Loungin' - cute pillows!
"I liked the barrrtenderrr" - yes he loved them pictures, and he wouldn't give me a drink unless I took a picture of him. I forgot to ask for your name but I hope you're reading this right now! I told you I'd get you up on here! Lookin' goooood:
Pretending he doesn't care about the picture:
Funny man:
IZZE carbonated juice = pretty bomb.
I LOVE mediterranean!!!!! Chicken + hummus + rice + pita = SCORE!
The wonderful Elaine (Seychelles/BC) - and I'm not just saying that because she invited me/showed me the upcoming fall/holiday Seychelles/BC line, which by the way IS the jumpoff for women's casual and dress shoes for the seasons to come - she's so cute!!! and she loves Pharrell!! (who doesn't?), Rosie (Studio DNA) - hairstylist for them models, and a Seychelles model rockin' WeSC and a dope 'do.
So this dude from WeSC, obviously a little drunk - maybe too many IZZE with vodkas? - wanted me to take pictures of him (continuously) of him charming Summer (Studio DNA) with a flower. Here he is in action:
Going...
Approaching victory...
Mission - completed?! She ain't payin' any attention though. Bring your A-game next time!
That was the perfect way to end the night. Elaine was so sweet, and the upcoming line for Seychelles/BC is going to be huge. I already spotted like 10 pairs of shoes I want to make sure and cop for the fall/winter season. Oohhwee! Super cute ladies, Rosie and Summer from Studio DNA, talked to us about their hair salon located in Santa Monica. Let me tell you, they are planning big things for their company, and I am sure I'll be visiting their salon sometime soon.

All of the ladies I met were inspired and inspiring, taking their talent to the next level, and you know you can look out for GirlsDrawinGirls, Seychelles/BC, and Studio DNA in their respective fields. Ya'll are LippedJeans lipped & locked, fully endorsed!

Outside of the Seychelles office: "Inspire Jealousy" - word.
The beyond wonderful gift bag that hit ALL the spots - tabloid/WeSC coupon/WeSC tote/Smashbox bronzer (goodbye pale, winter skin!)/cookbook/O.P.I. nail polish/music from Little Barrie/cookies from Geoff & Drew's - basically all things I love in life.
Reppin' Studio DNA! Get your hair game right for your next cut/color/perm. Hit up Rosie or Summer!!!
Wow, what a long night. I had to wait 12 hours to write about this, but all in all, it was super dope! I've met wonderful, talented people, and I wish them all the best in their endeavors. I had a sense of female empowerment, a boost of confidence in myself, and an overall great feeling coming out of this event. Hopefully, there will be many more to come, because damn, these ladies rocked!!!! Until next time...
