Photobooth time with my new L.A. Girls Poshmark friends!

My love for Poshmark is no secret…and when I found out they were hosting a Live L.A. Girls PoshParty on Thursday I had to be there! Jeff and I ventured out to Hollywood (not something we do often enough!!) and met up with the amazing team behind Poshmark and partied with the prettiest and most fashionable girls from the app! Held in the swanky Hyde Nightclub on Sunset Blvd., everyone was looking posh! I have to tell you, since joining Poshmark I have started to appreciate other girl’s fashion in a new light. If I see someone wearing a cute piece I think to myself “Oh I wonder if she’ll Poshmark that later…I would love to wear that!”

So fun to have finally met Amanada @fashionableme & Elissa @elissaemoto after befriending them in the Poshmark App!

I did just that to Elissa Emoto (shop her closet here @elissaemoto in the app). She had an amazing Jessica Simpson clutch in black lace up on her closet and when I saw it I knew it’d be the perfect accessory to my outfit for the evening. Being the amazingly sweet girl she is, she hand delivered it to me at the party! We had started following each other on Poshmark a couple weeks ago and as time went on and we started talking more we realized we had a lot in common! We’re both bloggers, have similar taste in fashion, and we live literally 10 minutes away from each other! We decided there was no better place than the LIVE L.A. Girls PoshParty to have our first “Blind Date”! So amazing that because of Poshmark I now have a new friend and blogging contact! :)

Manish, the founder of Poshmark was even there to party with us! Such an honor to meet the man behind this amazing company! He has a heart of gold!

Elissa brought along more friends to the party…I felt like I had 3 new bff’s instantly! Such great girls!!

Best Ever BF Award goes to…my man! Such a trooper to join all of us ladies at our fashion party!

Elissa & I

What I’m Wearing: Forever 21 gold & black dress (that may end up on Poshmark sometime soon!), BCBG black pointed heels, Jessica Simpson oversized lace & leather clutch (via @elissaemoto ‘s closet on Poshmark , & diy vintage lion head necklace (lion head via Poshmark).

Would love to help get YOU started on Poshmark too! Join the community – it’s free! If you have any questions comment below and I’d love to help! Be sure to follow me and #shopmycloset @wearinla — Thanks Poshmark team for the amazing party and for building an incredible community for fashion!

Most recently it was my extreme pleasure to have my first rooftop photoshoot in downtown Los Angeles with my dear friend Heather Petrey of LaFashionSnob.com! I’m so excited to share my experience with you all! A rooftop shoot has been on my bucket-list for a while now, so I’m just filled with joy that we finally made it happen! :)

We spent the better part of our day pulling gorgeous pieces from Chic Little Devil Style House (http://cldstylehouse.com/) - an amazing PR firm in DTLA. Their showroom was filled with racks upon racks of gorgeous garments, glittering accessories, and full walls of shoes! Not to mention all the stylish ladies working hard in heels….on Macs! I loved it, seeing all the ladies with their individual style, yet uniform in the glowing apples on their desks. – Apple products of all shapes and sizes are a common passion Heather and I share!! – Remember ‘The Devil Wears Prada’? And when Andy – Anne Hathaway – has her style makeover? Remember how excited you were when you saw rows and rows of gorgeous garments, walls of shoes, and drawers upon drawers of incredible accessories? Take all that excitement and turn it into a real life experience and you will understand how we felt walking into CLD! A huge thank you to CLD for allowing us to have a fun afternoon in your showroom and shoot on your balcony – you guys ROCK! :)

CLD is known as LA’s largest Style House with “over 50,000 designer garments, accessories, and shoes from over 200 top designers (from couture to contemporary to vintage).” Now tell me that isn’t every girl’s dream closet!? Needless to say, we played dress up! We spent a little over half an hour going through just a tiny section of their showroom showing much love to the Gypsy Junkies rack! (http://www.facebook.com/GypsyJunkies) It was all Heather’s style today, so we pulled a lot of vintage inspired, Coachella festival, bohemian styles – perfect for the warm Spring weather!

I really loved getting to spend some time with these garments – seriously almost not a thing I wouldn’t wear on the Gypsy Junkies rack! Heather obviously felt the same way: we created 15 looks from them and a couple other designers: Love Marks, Luichiny, & BodyRock. Check out some of the looks:

Heather wearing: Gypsy Junkie dress/ Luichiny heels

Heather wearing: Luichiny shoes & Gypsy Junkies

what a gorgeous gown! :) rooftop wedding couture? YES PLEASE!

all about me, behind the scenes, blogging, boyfriend, cheeze its, diy, fashion, fashion blog, forever 21, get to know me, girl, kate heimann, LAFashionSnob, learn about me, meet the author, meet the blogger, nativefox, personal, Personal life, pink and orange, posing, real life, reality, sewing, style, wearinla

Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market wearing Forever21, Target, & vintage scarf & sunglasses with my steal: $7 vintage suitcase!

It’s pretty typical of me to be on a flight sitting next to a stranger, end up having a full conversation with them, and then never introducing myself properly. I feel I have done so again! HA… Well, hello, I’m Kate – the girl behind the dream of being a ‘real’ fashion blogger. I want to thank you all for following me and supporting my dream! Here’s a little more about me, more than just my clothes…

1. What inspired or motivated you to start your blog? I enjoy freelancing as a photographer doing family portraits and events but wanted to share my creativity in a more universal sense – so I started photographing fashion. I realized I had more to say than just a simple caption when it came to style – so I just let myself go with it!

2. How did you decide on the format and style of your blog (i.e. Styling outfits and posing for the camera)? Ahhh to be honest, I’m still trying to figure out what I like best! Mostly I do my own photography with either my iPhone or my Canon 30D on a tripod….which I tell you isn’t that easy! As for posing…I just try to be as natural as possible – don’t notice the camera but let it notice me?

3. Where do you currently reside? Where would you ideally like to reside? I currently live just outside of Downtown LA in the Pasadena area – it has a more cultivated indie fashion scene. Although I’ve never been, I believe I’d do well in any costal European country – France and Italy are certainly places I can dream myself into!

4. What is your must-have article of clothing or accessory right now? I’m swooning over mermaid-esque accordion pleat flowing skirts – I saw a girl in Phoenix wearing one…and once I got back to LA I saw the same fabric at Michael Levine’s and started planning my own design!

Fedora @ Target: $12

5. If you were stranded on an island and had only one fashion item to your liking, what would it be? I think a fedora would suit me well – it’s practical and cute!

6. What are your favorite fashion and style blogs right now? One of my best friends, Heather Petrey blogs at http://LAFashionSnob.com - so I’m always checking out her site and we like to trade photography services ha! I always love watching Native Fox to see what new trends she’s following or starting! http://thenativefox.blogspot.com/

Native Fox

7. What do you like to do when not blogging about fashion? Eating lots of chinese food, catching up on my Netflix & Hulu queues, and sewing!

8. All that blogging must take up a lot of energy. What is your favorite food to munch on in order to provide you with your Super Blogging Powers? Ah man, now I’m thinking of Chinese food after that last one. HAHA! But my favorite blogging snack food would have to be Cheez It’s!

9. Favorite Designer: I have two- and they are SO different from each other! Chanel will always be my first love: I’m classy and sophisticated. But I love Betsey Johnson for her out of the box thinking and colorful combinations because she allows me to stick to the classic cuts yet venture out into patterns and colors!
