I saw all there was to see — landmarks, museums, restaurants, boutiques, bars — and absolutely loved it. And luckily, the weather was immaculate. Thanks to your finds, I was able to maintain my style without fussing about it too much.

I started you off with this Lulu Frost Little Lulu Vintage Flower Necklace ($143) because it's so sweet. Let's see what you all came up with.

The likes of Jerell, Korto, the Duff sisters, and Project Runway alums Jeffrey Sebelia and Santino Rice showed up at STK restaurant in LA to celebrate five seasons of fabulous. Other celebs in attendance were Ricki Lake, Christine Lakin, and Rick Shroder. Drinks and food were aplenty, as were music and schmoozing.
