One of our favorite local designers and friends, Angela Johnson, did a great video titled “My Phoenix Dream Day” for the Greater Phoenix Convention and Visitors Bureau all about her favorite places to shop and hang in Phoenix! It’s a fun piece with Angela taking us around the city looking so adorable. I even learned about some fun places I’ve never been!!
It’s just a few minutes long. Click Angela’s Dream Day. www.angelajohnsondesigns.com

What a great party last night at the W Hotel for the official launch of Canal Mag’s First Digital Issue. It was a very glamourous evening to celebrate the locally based online fashion magazine. Special thanks to Photographer Duc Liao and Lisa Macchiaroli, creators / editors of Canal Mag, for being so gracious and inviting a wonderful mix of fabulous people. I heard that Canal Mag is currently going through a revamp to make the site even more user-friendly. I’ll let you know when the latest version is up. Here are the pictures from last night (courtesy of my dear friend & stylist, Shannon Campbell).
