The afternoon celebration was hosted at one of my favorite Westside restaurants, Fig & Olive, which created an Americana-style lunch menu, including orange-infused vodka drinks, chicken and waffle sandwiches, and sliders.
Entertainment included a blue-grass band and hands-on activities, including a key-chain stamping table, hair braiding station, and my favorite, a map-art table.
I was happy to see that most of the pieces are made with classic American fabrics but updated with modern styling and flair.
Shorts are shorter, dresses are swingy, and the classic crisp white shirt has a modern-fit; while the fabrics for this collection were overwhelmingly solid colors, the textures gave whites a fun twist while the patterns were whimsical and fun.
Unfortunately, as it's the case with most fashion events, clothes were only shown in straight sizes; so trying to figure out which pieces would translate well into larger sizes is left pretty much to our imagination...
Since this collection is fitting of my current and more casual Westside lifestyle, it's fitting that I add the bird dress, blue-line jacket and white swing top to my closet - if it's available in my size :)
What do you think?
