Illustrators Wanted!

In our Summer 2013 issue, we asked six illustrators to draw what they thought the "Zooey" girl looked like. Our expectations were exceeded when we were sent beautiful portraits with details on why each drawing resembled our readers!

The above image is a drawing by the talented Esther Kang, which was featured in the current issue!

For our upcoming issue, we are asking for another set of six illustrators nationwide to draw us something special to be published in print. If you are interested in a challenge, send us an email with your portfolio!

Deadline to email: July 14, 2013

Crafts & Cocktails

Of all the parties we've ever hosted, our "Crafts & Cocktails" is by far our favorite. We hosted this afternoon party with our friends Emma and Elsie from A Beautiful Mess (our ultimate favorite blog!) and our best friends from Ruche (hello Beth and Mai!). And luckily, we had the prettiest venue - the Seychelles Shoes showroom (it's heaven on earth!).

So what did we all do instead of bunch up in the rooms? We set up five fun DIY booths: Seychelles hosted a shoe clip DIY (to die-for), OPI taught guests how to do nail art!, Goodie Girls Cupcakes introduced guests to some professional cupcake frosting techniques, Ruche showed people how to make clothing hangers extra special with strips of fabric (can easily be done at home with old clothes even!), and Emma & Elsie showed how to make bowtie clips (which were rocked by both guys and girls!). Then we hosted the ultimate photo booth...the Impossible Project Polaroid booth, which made quite the souvenir.

Of course, no creativity can be fueled without the help of Cake Bar cupcakes, DEUVO pralines, Vici Victual gourmet cookies, ACTIVATE water, and also Vita Coco (their Coco Cafe...so yummy!).

Each guest took home a glassine bag decorated with Wishy Washi tape and sealed with an Erin Condren label. Inside each bag were a Sugar Dayne cookie, Le Bon Garcon caramels, Ruche gift cards, an OPI bottle from the Selena Gomez collection, a Mirabella lip gloss, and everyone took home polka-dotted oven mitts from Sugar Baby Aprons. Of course, we have to treat our guests right!

Special thanks... Found Rentals for the beautiful vintage furniture, Elaine Pow, Mai Olivo, Beth Stevens, Jessica Gary, Laura Williams, Zooey interns and volunteers, Roneil Chavez, Jane Sha, Chris, Doug Duong, Wireimage, Shine On Media, and the best guests we could ever ask for!
