Vanilla Boutique Ladies Trunk Show!
The LLG Trunk Show Series continues, this time heading to Vanilla Urban Threads in Bend, Oregon!!
Vanilla boutique is owned and operated by the lovely April, and you can truly see the soul she has put into the shop with every beautiful detail! There is no doubt she seeks this same soul and creative passion in the girls she hires to work at the shop, as each and every one of them had amazing and unique personalities!
We were grateful to get to hang with these amazing ladies for the evening, as we shared a sneak peek of the Holiday 2012 Collection, followed by a style competition for prizes and goody bags (with Foam Magazine!)… all while enjoying tasty treats of course!
TONIGHT! Baby come back home…
Dear dear friend of Element, photographer and artist Amber B Dianda created one of her incredible stop motion videos for the song “Baby Come Back Home,” by Japanther!
The inspiration behind the song and animation was done in homage to Beau Velasco, a very special, compassionate, full of love and creative man, as well as beloved friend to Amber and Japanther. Beau struggled with anxiety and depression, and three years ago, sadly, lost that fight. In honor of him, several of the over 2000 stop motion frames Amber B created for the music video will be sold to benefit a depression and anxiety charity.
If you live in the Los Angeles area, TONIGHT (April 25th) the “Come Back Home” music video will launch with Japantherat The Smell!
Regardless of whether or not you can make it tonight, you can still support the cause by purchasing the frames HERE!!

Intern Diaries: Thank You Element
It has been an absolute wild ride here at Element Eden and I could not be more thankful for the experiences I have had and the incredible people I have met. True to the Eden brand my time here has allowed me to LIVE my dream in California, LEARN the industry and what it means to be a woman of Element Eden, and GROW as a student, an intern, and a person.
A special thanks to Al Swanson, my mentor and Element marketing coordinator for being a patient teacher and involving me in every aspect of this company. And of course a big thanks to all of you Element Eden Ladies out there, for reading my posts and being so supportive. I will miss all of you!
Until next time.

We did this little thing called Coachella…
For nearly a decade, Coachella Music Fest has been attracting folks for three days of multiple stage banging bands in the middle of Indo’s desert land! Now calling in around 80,000 folks to make the trek (for a pretty penny), you can bet we had to hit the road and find out what all the buzz was about… ok, ok, we admit, it wasn’t too hard what-so-ever to convince us… honestly we begged to go!
We had the wonderful honor of guest-editing and intagramming for our dear friends at Foam Magazine along the journey and above are just a few of our favorite shots throughout the lace & boot clad dusty three days!
Read our FULL recap on the weekend at Foam Magazine’s site HERE!
