White Trash Beautiful

Los Angeles can be intimidating. At certain events, restaurants, and parties I feel like everyone is "somebody" or trying to be "somebody." And at the very least, everyone knows "somebody," even if it's a D-list reality star. I had received an email inviting me to attend a Rock n Roll fashion show and concert at the W Hotel in Hollywood featuring Nikki Lund and Richie Sambora and their fashion line called NikkiRich by "WTB." It didn't matter to me thousands of other bloggers got the same invite, this sounded like fun! I had a little business to take care of too, so last Wednesday I boarded Southwest and 50 minutes later touched down in a rarely rainy LA.

While packing for the trip I realized I'd never heard of this clothing line. I googled "WTB" and it turns out the fashion line is called "White Trash Beautiful" (interesting choice) so I had NO idea what to expect people in attendance to be wearing. But I do know my closet doesn't have a single piece of Affliction or Ed Hardy, so I went with a simple faux snakeskin patterned dress and a pair of heels that aren't my usual style.

So 3...2...1...Here's a rundown of the NikkiRich by White Trash Beautiful fashion show and concert:

I wore a black sheeth dress I found at Nordstrom Rack in Boulder CO (Fishbowl)  Jewelry (F21)

I was going for a 80's/Rock n Roll look - Black heels (GUESS)

I brought one of my best friends, Joe, who works as a sound mixer in LA. While he's not that into fashion, he's come such a long way from bolo ties and WWF shirts in high school. I'm proud of him. :)

I'm a huge fan of the sheer maxi skirts and thought this dress was pretty for spring/summer. 

LOVING THE HAIR: The models were all very pretty, BUT I noticed a huge trend they wore were different types of braids like this model before she walked out with a headband/side pony braid.

As the models walked downstairs, I looked at each outfit of and noticed the line was very unique because there was something for everyone. Some styles were more edgy, other's feminine or sparkly.


Next, the concert...

It was fun watching Nikki Lund and Richie Sambora perform

Richie was really nice and...
kinda random but somehow his hair looks just like mine when I first wake up in the morning ;)

Joe was a trooper during the fashion show so I was happy when he ran into one of his favorite Adam Sandler movie characters, Peter Dante, who was super tan outside of a dive bar in Santa Monica. I didn't know who he was, so apparently I need to watch "Grandma's Boy." Gotta love LA.



I'm curious, do you think the name of a fashion line is important to whether or not you'd buy the clothes?
Or is it all about the designs?

(Speaking of design, my blog is going through design changes this week looking NEW soon!)

Hope you had a great weekend!
