Stela 9 Style: What Do You Wear To The Beach?

Us Stela 9 girls are a lucky bunch. When we're not jetting the world looking for one-of-a-kind pieces we're relaxing in our hometown of sunny LA. We have everything at our disposal here - the beach, mountains, desert, and city are just a step away. While Jess prefers to spend her days hiking LA's beautiful mountains and spending time in Palm Springs, I choose to bum around Venice beach. I can't get enough of the hippie beach life (and Abbot Kinney has some of the raddest stores around). So which do you prefer? The serene desert or funky beach life?

The CFDA Fashion Awards

Last night was a special one for fashion lovers far and wide. All of the A-listers of the fashion world gathered together at Lincoln Center in NYC to celebrate the contributions made in American fashion. This special night is called the CFDA Fashion Awards and it's not just your run of the mill red carpet dazzling gown event. The stars spotting the carpet last night were dressed slightly more eclectic and slightly more our style. Here are some of our fave looks from the night:

Jessica Stam wearing Rebecca Minkoff (Can we get that necklace please?!)

Mary-Kate and Elizabeth Olsen in Issey Miyake and The Row.

Nicole Richie in Marc Jacobs looking like a summery mermaid of dreams.

And of course last but not least, one of our top style icons Erin Wasson looking especially cool and elegant in her Alexander Wang cyborg-esque gown.
