JULY EVENTS! 18th: Dodger Stadium, 24th: Summer Sanctuary

HIIIIII :) 

Such an exciting summer so far! World cup, bunch of awesome events, and now I get to share two upcoming GREAT events you should attend! 


July 18th, Dodger Stadium- LA Flea Market
First one is on Sunday, July 18th at the Dodger Stadium Parking Lot in Elysian Park. Rick Dees (the famous VJ) and the Salvation Army joined forces to create the first of many more huge events also known as the Hollywood Yard Sale in Dodgertown! Join THOUSANDS of people, including celebrities, in checking out over 400 booths of wonderful items. New, used, antiques, home furnishings, plants, jewelry and accessories (such as Herrdoghouse and Dodies Corner), music...ETC! 
According to the website, there will be celebrity auctions, other celebrities selling their own goods and products, and others just hanging out to sign autographs. This is a promising event and I am ecstatic to be a part of it!

Check out the link for more info: 



So... the next major event I realllllly would love to see all of you at is in Brentwood on Saturday, July 24th. 

Summer Sanctuary is a pool party, bbq/bar, bikini fashion show, pop up boutiques (yours truly included) at the Angeleno Hotel in Brentwood on Saturday, July 24th. The event is an actual pool party, so bring your bathing suit attire if you feel bold enough to jump in and swim with some hotties. Ladies, if you need to purchase a new bikini, I completely recommend Lolli Beach Candy
This event will be raising proceeds for a 3 year old boy, Tai Sivrican, who is suffering from a severe condition- Dystonia due to a near-drowning accident earlier this year. Part of the ticket sales for the event will be going towards Tai's treatments. At the event you will find a silent auction table set up with really cool items you can bid on as well as art being sold, with proceeds from that being donated to Tai's treatment as well. 

For more information about Tai's story, you can click HERE

So.... here is the basic info:
WHEN: Saturday, July 24th 11AM- 5PM


WHERE: 170 N. Church Lane, Brentwood CA 90049.  It is the tall, round building right off of the 405, Sunset exit.

WHAT TO BRING: Cash and your bathing suits!

TICKETS: You can purchase your tickets HERE for $10, If you wait until the day of, tickets can be purchased at the door for $15 each.

If you need anymore information about it, please e-mail me directly at herrdoghouse@gmail.com
OR 
If you cannot attend and would still like to donate some money to the cause, please e-mail me and I can direct you to the appropriate person to talk to!

PLEASE SHARE WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY OR ANYONE WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING/ DONATING!


The contest, which started in May, featured 1,000 different bands, and of all of those, Gorgeous has made it to the top and now need your votes for one last week! 
They have worked so so hard for this and continue to work hard to reach their dreams, so if you get a chance to check them out and vote, please do so and share with others! 
The video you will see in the link was put together in a matter of days with little budget, and I have to say it is truly worth watching!
If the band wins this, they get to play in San Diegos Comic-Con and get their video featured on the DVD of the movie. Support this awesome LA based band!!!


thanks again to each one of you!!




I really do hope to get to see many of you at the upcoming events! Please do try and make it out to Summer Sanctuary!

Downtown Artwalk at The Annex LA!

Hiii there!

It's been such an eventful week since I last wrote an entry! Although most of the time I spent it sick, which is never fun, we continued working hard creating new accessories in preparation for our next event, the Downtown Artwalk on Thursday, July 8th at the Annex LA
It is our third month in a row at this event (our second with the annex LA- lobby pic on the left) and we really enjoy it! Every month there are new, fun and creative artists that bring out thousands of people to the streets. You can buy amazing works of art and items like new/vintage clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc at amazing prices, and at the same time you will find new musical talents, foods, designers that you won't come across regularly. Whatever it is that interests you, there is bound to be something for you! 

We at Herrdoghouse & Dodies Corner have new pieces that we are hoping you guys love! Because this is a special monthly event, we will have the items at low and awesome prices for you!

Check out some of the newbies to the collections:







Come out to the Artwalk and check out MANY MANY more items! 

The physical address is : 

Inside the lobby of the Farmers and Merchants Bank (pic below) at the corner of 4th & Main Street.

P.S. 
If you havent already - please take a minute to check out Gorgeous Got a Gun who is in a competition for a very big big dream of theirs! The competition is based around the movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and they would get some pretty awesome opportunities if they win! They have worked really really hard and have made it to the TOP 4 so far out of hundreds of bands that signed up! Please take a minute to vote for them, if possible, daily!

Bikini Rock ROCKED!!! Gorgeous Got a Gun NEEDS YOUR VOTES!!! Check out the links!!






So seriously, if you missed out on this one, you REALLY missed out on an AMAZING event put together by the geniuses behind Graffiti Beach and Swoop Magazine! 
Before I go on, big shout out and uber huge thanks to the stylist, Jana Arbaszewski of Spyder Surf for doing a phenomenal job at coordinating the beautiful models!

So the evening kicked off with a special performance by Kevin Sousa. If you get a chance to check him out, please do so! 





Then the night moved on to an impressive and rocking performance by Gorgeous Got a Gun! As soon as they got up on stage, the crowd gathered around and got into their performance!! They really amp'd up the vibe in the theatre and got everyone into their beats! Their music is catchy but not cheesy and aside from the obvious good looks, this band has some serious skills, starting off with the vocals by Veronica Torres! I cannot wait to see these guys live again! Wanna read more about their performance from that night? Check out the review by Christy Buena from Disarray Magazine HERE!
I can totally go on and on about the performances but I won't because there is a touch more of Gorgeous Got a Gun ahead...





So now... the FASHION!! 
Herrdoghouse Accessories (which is a combination of the hair accessories of partner site, Dodies Corner and the handmade jewelry by Herrdoghouse Boutique) was SUPER ecstatic to share the runway with the beautiful stylish vibrant bikinis of Lolli Beach Candy. These poppin and creative little bikinis really stood out beautifully as the gorgeous models made their way down the runway. Stylist and genius, Jana of Spyder Surf, cleverly turned the lariat necklaces and some of the eyeglass swarovski beaded necklaces into wrapped bracelets that gave the RIGHT touch to these pieces. I cannot describe how many different uses there are for these detailed beaded pieces, but can I tell you- THERE ARE MANY!!! Bikini Rock just exemplified one of those beautiful ways! Some of the pieces that were layered and worn that night were:

Some of the hair accessories that were featured on the runway were from the silk and feathery goods:

FINNNALLLY this jaw dropping event finished off with a surprise guest performance by Lil Jon in the weee hours of the morning. Bikini Rock became an official after party for EDC and was led by DJ CHUCKIE and AFROJACK! Needless to say this was an event that went on ALLLLL NIGHT but felt like you didnt want it to end!!!

NEW EVENT! ~ Fathers Day Ideas (ARKA) ~ Kitschy Katz & the World Cup IS HEEEERE!

I had not realized I haven't updated this in a week! I need to get better with this and am going to make it a point to at least update every other day with new hot items I come across and update on current projects.


NEW EVENT! GRAND OPENING OF TIZIANAS SHOP IN LOS FELIZ!

So.. to start off... I invite you, your moms, your family, your friends to come check out the debut of Herrdoghouse's most recent creations for Tiziana's Shop Grand Opening in the Los Feliz area Saturday night at 7pm and on! The event is a celebration of the wonderful Tiziana coming back to the hot LA scene with AMAZING fashion! If you happen to be in the area, the link to the event is on the left of the page! Take some time to come through, say hi and have a good time! The newest line (sneak peak on facebook) of jewelry will be on sale at this awesome event!


Fathers Day is around the corner, have you bought a gift yet?!

Now, if you happen to be on the look out for a cool gift for an amazing father out there (or you just want to buy yourself some new threads) I HIGHLY recommend you check out ARKA clothing! When I first met the guys behind ARKA, they told me that the line stands for "King of Kings" and now with Fathers day literally around the corner, I think that its fitting to share with you guys. I met Burag and Shant, the founders of the high end mens shirts a couple months ago and fell in love with them AND their stuff!! These guys are both completely down to earth guys and fun to talk to, which in my eyes goes a long way in this whole industry. I completely support them and their fashion. They have been doing events all around Southern California and are continuing to work hard with many more events coming soon. Check out ARKA and buy that special dad a cool t-shirt for fathers day! You don't have to order them online, just check out all the retailers that carry them here or you can follow them on facebook here and go buy it in person! You can find their stuff in almost every major city. The quality of their stuff is awesome and worth checking out!
Much much love and success to all of you at ARKA! 

(picture was taken off of their facebook website where you can see more pictures of all of their designs..seriously- go check it out!)


heeeeeere kitty kitty...

Ok now moving on to my next big thing I am excited to share with you is these beautiful little masterpieces ~ Kitschy Katz! 



Kitschy Katz is the next big thing to be coming out as a collectible figurine! Currently there are 9 "katz" in the collection (picture above) and they make wonderful gifts. Each figurine comes with its own collectible card and has a little profile, including birthday and weight (cute!). On the card you will read a quote that each one comes with and they are just clever and unique! I met Ken Wong, the creator and designer of these contemporary masterpieces and he is the sweetest person! I have come across his stuff at the art walks in downtown and each time fall in love with them more and more. 


At his events, Ken takes a photo album that he shares with everyone. Inside the photo album are pictures from everywhere these little "katz" have traveled, submitted by fans. They have taken pictures in London, all across the U.S., sports events, and they've even made it to Dodger games (Go Blue!)! I'm hoping that there will be one that goes to the World Cup, otherwise I am just going to have to find a way to snap that picture myself!    Anyway, before I lose track here, I find that this collection would make a beautiful display in any and every home! The lines and curves of these pieces are SO clean and smooth, I really have never seen any other cat figurine I have loved as much as I do love these "katz". In fact, I have NEVER seen a cat figurine I like... so Ken Wong- thank you for your artwork! :) 
Take a moment and check out the main website and maybe you will be tempted to start your own little Kitschy Katz family! If you're interested in checking out Kitschy Katz in person, take a moment to become a fan via facebook here, and be on the look out for his announcements regarding events! 

                            
(Mia and Bosco with their Kitschy Katz on their Herrdoghouse collars) 

Ken- I cannot wait to see you go BIG! I love your stuff and will be in touch with you real soon!


(kitschy katz pictures were borrowed directly off the kitschy katz website to share with you... take a moment and look through all of the products- amaaaazing! :) )


LASSSSSTTTTT but not least! I AM SO SO SO SO SO HAPPY AND EXCITED IT IS FIIIIIIIINALLLLLYYYYY HERE! I am BIG on the World Cup and am thrilled (to say the least) that for the next month, the greatest sport in the world is back!! Hopefully you will all be watching and enjoying it as well! :) Nothing big to write about it, just thought I would share the happiness I have for the sport! YAY! :D 




Now off to bed to wake up early for the games! :D
Hope to see you at Tiziana's!
