Wow; can't wait to see all t he loot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-so-cal-swap-kicks-off#post-669015 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 06:00:04 +0000 Scarlet 669015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green with envy! So cool that you could all swing it to get together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-so-cal-swap-kicks-off#post-668995 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 04:54:15 +0000 CocoLion 668995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was fab and fun in true YLF spirit! Vicki, who was wearing some super cool new skinnies from Zara (wow can she pull off the print trend) had everything well planned and organized. Thank you MaryK for bringing the clothing racks and Mr. Generous dry cleaner for the extra hangers. Yes you do deserve Vicki's business now and you would get mine too if I were so lucky to live nearby.</p> <p>After struggling in the sweltering heat of Central California for the past week (104 F anyone?), it was perfectly cool at Vicki's, with enough of a marine breeze for me to justify wearing my new Zara sequin blazer. (No this post is not sponsored by Zara.)</p> <p>Rae was wearing a crisp and modern asymmetric hem white blouse with light wash denim shorts. From behind, we had trouble telling her apart from Natalie (both of them having stunning long black hair). Natalie was wearing white jeans and an orange Tory Burch blouse and carried a killer matching bag. No wonder she likes Kate Spade because she has that ladylike Upper East Side look to her. </p> <p>I actually don't remember what MaryK was wearing because she tried on so many different things. I seem to remember a nude bra and some yellow skinnies though. The fun of the swap was almost usurped by seeing her tap routine on her iPad. </p> <p>It was great to see Marley who was in fine spirits and rocks a pair of shorts like no one else. Well except maybe Rae. Marley I am so glad my now too tight Karen Kane dress found a new home!</p> <p>I had never met Eva before -- she is a border collie owner like me! We had fun talking dogs. Eva is a stunning brunette who looked good in everything she tried on, and prepared a delicious brocolli ramen salad.</p> <p>Jennifer is an artist and neighbor of Vicki's; I enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to her joining YLF. She scored a beautiful Marilyn type halter dress which shows off her awesome body art.</p> <p>I was sooooo sad Claire could not be there, but how cool was it that she sent a package! I collected a few items that I suspect come from Claire -- yes I got the French retro print silk blouse, I am ecstatic! Thank you!</p> <p>Vicki your family is delightful and thank you again for hosting this fun occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-so-cal-swap-kicks-off#post-668984 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 04:21:22 +0000 christieanne 668984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all look marvelous and so very happy!

MUCH. FUN!</p> <p>Just got home with what seems like a boatload of fab items and still trying to recover. I also came home with some of our Denim Guru Denise's jeans, some girly and frilly dresses (!), two cool scarves, silk blouses, an incredible convertible raincoat... what a day!</p> <p>Vicki, you were the hostess with the mostess today, and your family is just beautiful. Many sincere thanks to you as well as everyone who participated. It was a perfect swap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-so-cal-swap-kicks-off#post-668929 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 01:30:08 +0000 MsMary 668929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, so much fun!!!</p> <p>I just got home from such a fun and exciting day! Vicki was a spectacular hostess, of course, and in addition to local gals Eva, Vicki, Marley, Rae, and Vicki's mom and her friend Jennifer, we were treated to special guest appearances by out-of-towners Natalie (goldenpig) and Denise (CocoLion)! Plus our dearest Claire sent a box of goodies with notes! And you see the lovely edible centerpiece in the photo? That was gift from our friend Zapotee in NYC!!</p> <p>I scored a ton of fab items, most notably several pair of premium denim jeans from Denise! And even better than that was seeing so many of my former closet orphans find good homes with my YLF sisters!!</p> <p>*happy sigh&amp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-so-cal-swap-kicks-off#post-668875 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 23:22:39 +0000 nicoleb 668875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jealous!
