The Final Shows – LA Style Fashion Week – Bri Seeley & Lina Zeineddine

The Nickel Diner, a bustling little joint that had good food. Backstage One of the other designers, Patuna Bushyhead. Her collection was simply stunning, flow, ethereal gowns with jewels. Finally Bri Seeley & Lina Zeineddine shoes on the runway! Bri’s collection has been picked up by Zappos & will be available sometime next year! It was a great week for these two designers.

It was a classy hotel, while it did seem dated compared to say the Ritz Carlton, it was dated in an old Hollywood kind of way. Very clean, very very kind staff, I’ve honestly never been treated so well at a hotel. It was a fun upscale experience, and the pool was a god send on our 95 degree October day, Villa Blanca was on my list of must go to places while in LA.
