I first want to thank all my readers and friends for sending me so many well wishes over my graduation weekend. Oh, the sweet feeling of completing college! All the hard work was absolutely worth it.
With graduation comes lots of celebrating and if you’ve ever partied with me, you know how much I love everything to be just perfect. VIRGO ALERT. Friday night my parents took me, my sister and boyfriend to a lovely dinner over at Anisette Brasserie. French is right at the top of my list and their dishes were delightful. I wish I could go into every detail but it was so wonderful I’d end up taking up this whole page with words.
Saturday afternoon after my Women’s Studies graduation we headed over to The Viceroy Santa Monica. If you’ve been reading Fashion Intel for awhile you know how much I love The Viceroy Palm Springs and I was just as impressed with its predecessor’s location. As you can see, I couldn’t pass up the chance to take photos in the gorgeously designed Kelly Wearstler green bathroom.
It was great to dine outdoors with my family, boyfriend, and besties Stefani and Serge. I’d like to mention how delicious my tomato, mozarella, and micro-basil salad was. Whist at The Viceroy is amazing – you must go! My friends S+S also surprised me with a wonderful gift certificate to Willow Spa. Seriously, I die!
Last but not least, check out that amazing box of Sprinkles graduation cupcakes my mom bought me. I love you mom! I’d also like to give a shout out to my lovely sister who flew down from NorCal for my special weekend. Not only did she shower me with love/gifts but she wrote an awesome speech in my honor.

My sister recently asked me what I wanted as a graduation gift and I promised her I’d compile a list full of pictures. Since graduating from college is a major feat, I figured it was only apropos to suggest spectacular gifts. These are the things I’ve been wanting for a long time. Truly, most of them have been in my “must buy” folder on my desktop. Aside from personalized stationery, these lovely things would truly make my graduation even more grandeur.

Spring quarter begins in a couple weeks and I couldn’t be more excited about graduating in June! Not only am I ecstatic to receive my diploma in Women’s Studies from UCLA , but I am thrilled for the major party I am going to throw post graduation. Of course I’ll need an amazing dress for the party and thankfully I found it while flipping through the most recent Teen Vogue. I present to you my graduation o9′ party dress designed by Phillip Lim. The pink is quite lovely but I know I’ll wear the black much more. The price tag might be a bit much but I am finishing college and that is an accomplishment worthy of dress greatness! If you’d like this dress for your special occasion, you can buy it here.
