OC Fashion Week 2013: Sugar Rush

A couple weeks ago, I attended OC Fashion Week's Sugar Rush event hosted by OC Fashion Association at AnQi Restaurant in Costa Mesa. This event kick started OC Fashion Week and we got to preview jewelry designs crafted by local OC artisans.


Gold and silver handmade accessories created from Studio Suzan right in my backyard in the city of Costa Mesa!

Monica Victoria showing off her favorite pieces from KD Luxe Jewelry's holographic technology collection.


With fashion bloggers Monica Victoria from Espresso and Stilettos and Joann Doan from Love Fashion Live Life.

The amazing people behind Senhoa - an organization that helps survivors of human trafficking in Cambodia. Their motto "Accessorize your Conscience" is pretty catchy so spread the word!

Aren't these Senhoa statement jewels absolutely beautiful? AND they're made with swarovski crystals! Pretty amazing if you ask me.

My dear Carnetta Sheffield from Carnetta Sheffield is such a stylish sweetheart!

Sterling silver pieces from Gayle Gaston Jewelry. These classic accessories can be worn with any outfit.


So nice reuniting with Kathy Marino from Haute OC. 

Bikini fashion show featuring fun summer prints!

Brazil designer Guilherme showed off his Grivera Beach Wear designs! Makes me want to get beach ready and head to the beach.

Can I say that I fell in LOVE with Monica Victoria's incredible arm party?!? Totally lusting over every piece!
