Heading back from Santa Barbara today after having a wonderful time at the film festival this weekend. Our friend's film Pretty Old screened yesterday and has gotten rave reviews. Hopefully it will be coming to a theater near you soon. After the film we all had the most amazing brunch at the San Ysidro Ranch and I made some new friends that I'm looking forward to seeing again in LA. For pictures from the weekend follow me on Instagram.

Hello, I am the most adorable...

Pair of blue wedding shoes anyone could ever hope to find. Sadly, they've been sold from Etsy but I'll be damned if they didn't just steal my heart. I'm actually searching for perfect blue wedges for my bride cause she wants height but if you're over 5'7" and adventurous I say go for something like this!

Here's the thing about wedding shoes...only you know you're wearing them. You look so gorgeous on your wedding day no one's gonna say "Pull up that dress and let me see your shoes!" If they do, your husband should smack them. JK. Here are the shoes that I wore at my wedding

and here's my happy face since I wasn't in heels

what happened...

I had a monster of a time deciding on what shoes to wear. When I went for my last fitting I didn't have anything and it's impossible to do the last fitting without knowing how much height you'll have. I was with my friend Ian so we marched ourselves to the Steve Madden down the street and his brilliant boy brain convinced me to buy "cute, comfy shoes I could wear again." I'm pretty sure he was just tired of browsing but he sure did me a solid. My feet never hurt, I never even came close to tripping and the next summer I wore those suckers all over town. Which is more than I can say for my dress which sadly lives in a closet at my grandmas, I should probably sell it but I digress. If you've got the inches I say go for flats at your wedding. It's not for everyone but if you decide to go for it after reading this you can thank me later.

 If my schedule allows I'll be taking on a few more wedding clients this Summer so get in touch now if you would like info on pricing. In the meantime peruse more pictures from my wedding here.

 My hair was sort of accidentally tucked into my jacket for these photos and it's making want to run to the nearest salon and lob it off to my shoulders. Unfortunately, I just got a haircut and it was way too expensive to waste. I don't know what happened but I'm suddenly back on the crack of super expensive haircuts. I guess if I'm still feelin' the bob in three months off-me-hairs will go.  Do you prefer short hair or long?

We went to the most fun scavenger hunt party this weekend! Thanks to Corbett for planning it. If you are looking for an elixir to the predictable adult party this is definitely it. These photos look so randomly Twilight right? I got this moto jacket on ebay several years ago and his time has finally come. ASOS makes a nice quilted version with a good fit. Thanks for reading and have a great Monday ya'll. (Will ya'll ever feel comfortable coming from this brash east coast mouth?) Probably not. But I'm gonna keep trying!!

I'M LOVING MOD LITTLE DRESSES FOR SPRING.

Ah wintertime in Los Angeles. Brrr, it's chilly this morning. Good thing I'll be able to sit outside in a tank top by noon! My mom said it's so cold in NYC that she doesn't want to leave her apartment! Oh lord. Next time I spend the winter in New York I hope to have a driver chauffeuring me to and from the deli.
I love me a polka dot dress and since this one hasn't gone online yet here's a more winter friendly version from ASOS for you east coasters. Went to a live taping of Whitney yesterday. It was great. Especially my friend and fellow NYU'er Zoe Lister-Jones. Hey, if you were following me on Instagram you would already know I was there and have the pictures to prove it! Damn. Do it already! Instagram is so fun! I'm @AmeliaAlvarez

Off Sunset

Crossing the street in a polka dot dress from RVCA's Spring 2012 line. Don't know what I thought was so funny. Had just eaten brunch at The Eveleigh so maybe I'm just stuffed an' happy. More pics from the day coming soon.
