After five full magnificiant day's in sunny CA Im slowly coming down off my Affarie at Tiffany's high!

 

 

 

Once again, Kim Caldwell has hosted another gorgeous and extradoinary event!

I've attended four of Kim's event's and to date….I think this one was my personal fav.

The event was a glamour girls dream!!!

 

 

Kim did not spare one detail!

She showered and pampered us with gifts galore!!!

 

 

 

The best part of attending events is the opportunity to see your friends again and forming new friendships.

 

 

My weekend kicked-off with hanging with my close peeps and hitting the LA shops. 

 

 

My darling friend Christine Rose Elle was our shopping hosting.

After a long day of shopping we headed back to the hotel to the dreadful chore of packing. 🙁

That's when the looming feeling of having to say goodbye to your dearest girlfriends start to take over. 

 

I had the BEST weekend ever and was sad to see it to end.

 

More good times, memories, pretty projects, gifts & treasures were all going home back to GA with me.
