valentine’s day round-up …

January 31, 2014

Can you believe we are almost into February?  
I for one am happy to see January go.  It’s always the longest, most dreary month here in Utah.
Anyhow, I wanted to share with you a little round-up of all the fun Valentine’s Day related posts I have done over the years here on the Armelle Blog.  I love Valentine’s day!  What’s not to love about a day that celebrates love!

Have a good one!

yosi samra: camp yosi event …

January 29, 2014

A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to attend an amazing event with Yosi Samra, a NYC based shoe designer.

The theme of the night was “Camp Yosi,” and all the decor and party details were spot on!

There was a gorgeous spread complete with marshmallow garlands!

The indoor s’mores were a big hit!

I should be a hand model, right? 😉

It was fun to reconnect, and meet with these amazing Utah bloggers! #babes

The Yosi team was so welcoming and friendly!

It was fun to chat with Yosi himself, and learn more about his amazing shoes!  He designs foldable ballet flats that fit into a little bag, so if you need to quickly change into a pair of comfy shoes, you can bring them on the go.  Genius right?!

The shoes are all made from top quality leather, and you can tell they are well made, and buttery soft!

Of course all of us bloggers had to take advantage of the cute decor to grab some group shots!

Here’s our best “act natural candid shot.”

The event was complete with a DIY anklet bar, and a shoe bar!

So many cute choices, it was hard to pick a favorite!

I think we were all happy with our picks!

I ended up with these darling neon yellow leather flats (I am not one to shy away from bright pops of color, plus they matched my hat!).  I’ve been walking around in them constantly and they are so comfortable!

And, I nearly died at the sneak peek of a few new designs Yosi has been working on!  Can you believe those oxfords?!  They will also be coming out with a men’s line, and a little boys line soon!  In the mean time, check out their little girl shoes, I die!

Thanks to the amazingly talented team who put this event together!  Photos by Jessica Kettle.
