Art on the Walls, Art on the People

This Friday evening the "Place To Be" was, without question, Gallery Godo (http://www.gallerygodo.net/) in Glendale.  Their "Save Japan" event was simply teeming with an artsy and sophisticated crowd the girls and I so enjoyed rubbing elbows with!  Amanda's work was amongst the best being shown- in fact I heard more than one patron admire it as their favorite corner. 

My dear friend and talented photographer Dalmiro Quiroga was there to capture some of the fun, and was kind enough to share his pictures with us...and his outfit.
 
Here you can see Amanda's vintage frock discovered at Playclothes on Magnolia in Burbank.  She completed her 1960s mod look with clip-on daisy earrings and seemingly Twiggy-inspired retro makeup.  In the background are a few of her pieces- maybe if we're lucky she'll post some pics of her work up here from time to time!

I whipped out one of my favorite dresses for the occasion.  Almost 2 years ago I dug this gem up at "Someone Else's", a lovely little vintage collection in North Hollywood.  I always like to pair it with super contemporary accessories.  Luckily my bestie Chelsea (pictured below) lent me the perfect shoes and Lulu Townsend clutch to complete my look!

Chelsea's the type of gal who can pull of just about anything- those cut yoga arms are the perfect accessory to any outfit!  I encouraged her to pattern clash on Friday, and she fearlessly rocked this Urban Outfitters scarf and Mimi Chica dress. 

Can we talk about this tights-with-socks-in-boots look?  Amazing!  I'm ashamed to admit I was skeptical when Chelsea told me about it, but now I'm totally obsessed and starting to see it everywhere!  Thanks, Chels!

Fashion designer Elliot Beach of Mamadoux, in an entirely hand-crafted outfit.  That poncho was sewn from a McDonald's blanket!  Who knew McDonald's even MADE blankets...?

These little animal hats aren't always my favorite, but Christine was just too cute in hers.  She picked up her cozy keppe cover at an Aahs! costume gift shop, and her knit sweater at the Fairfax Flea Market.





I wanted to steal Jaymie's necklace, found at a yard sale, but I just sicked Dalmiro on her instead. 
Dalmiro Quiroga- the man behind the lens!  Below are some more of his great captures.
How fabulous was this feathered jacket?  She and I were chatting here- which is why she looks so engaged I guess ;)




My favorite piece of the evening...after ALL of Amanda's of course.





Bye bye!  See you at the next event!
