A visit to Blends and Carlos Ortiz Hair

Dear Shaded Viewers,

Nacho picked me up today and took me to his friends two Blends shops. The front is all trainers and streetwear and in the back, behind the magic door, is a multibrand store. We had a nice chat about Paris fashion and LA fashion.

Something about the jetlag from Paris to LA really gets to me. I was having a nice chat with my friend David Norbury when I suddenly fell asleep on the phone and believe me, David is never boring. He woke me up, I don’t know how long after I had just dozed off and then from 3h till now I just cannot sleep. So since I was awake I decided to appreciate my beautiful roses that were a birthday gift from Rebecca at the The Standard. I like my view but with a total lack of sleep even though my bed is super comfortable and my bathtub a dream….this is how things are looking to me.

Amazing floral designer, Eric Buterbaugh of the 4 Seasons in LA. put together this bouquet of the most amazing red roses that I’ve ever seen and the Standard’s marketing director, Rebecca Huetter offered them to me. I am loving them.
