Hosting is a natural instinct for me, since I have always relished pleasing other people over myself. I love watching friends eat, drink, enjoy their surrounding, and leave a party with an incredible story-- especially when it's on my home turf.

It was only natural, therefore, when Absolut launched their newest gem named Elyx, a premium luxury vodka distilled from pure copper, that a genuine partnership between Elyx and Elshane's World formed. A tequila fan I always was, until I tasted an Absolut Elyx martini and unapologetically switched teams and chose to {fight for the right to party}. 

I hosted an intimate, raging, California cool house party at a friend's bachelor pad/ art gallery/ over-the-top barn/ open-air mansion in Venice, CA-- a perfect setting for my guests to experience what copper-distilled madness could taste like. A venue like this, mixed with a well-curated guest list, and shaken up with a sensory overload of tastes both to the mouth and to the touch delivered the perfect house party environment. Best part? You can re-create this memorable event for your friends, too.

...that time TMZ followed me around Beverly Hills asking me countless questions about female drivers in Los Angeles.

"Do female drivers need wider lanes?" 

All the news that's fit to print...

**In fashion related news, I'm jumping into fall colors a bit early this season with two feet forward. Pair me a sky blue oxblood combo any day of the week... except Wednesday. On Wednesday's we wear pink... ;)

A short dress doesn't often catch my eye. If you're not handing me a leopard skirt with a floral top, likely I'm just not that interested in what you have to offer. Period.

A short dress is just, well...that. It's short of all the frills and fun that comes along with creating a leeeewk. Just throw a dress on and you could be slangin' the identical get-up as a mere passerby'r. {GASP!}

But sometimes, just sometimes, a short dress can come out on top. In this case, with an extra accessory, a belt, a swaggin' smile, and a pair of sunnies so charismatic that they tell a story of their own, that the simple, short dress is just, well...right. 

SIDE NOTE- I'm currently in NYC on a photo shoot. Follow my sweaty adventures on instagram @elshanesworld!

There's no better feeling in the world (back massages, basking in the sun, cracking open a lobster, coming home to a Chanel handbag at your doorstep)...

One of the greatest feelings in the world is when a woman puts on a real dress. A dress where she can twirl in her heels and watch behind her back as the fabrication follows with each turn of her head.

A real dress is one that makes a girl feel like a woman. Oozing power, sophistication, and a taste of seduction from every angle.

One she can slip on in the morning without an extra hand, and slip off at night without a peep. One that makes her go to bed with a stealth grin while recounting the steps in her day. In her real dress.

This Tibi dress is a real dress. 

Rachel Zoe spring collection. She just gets me.

Brief DIY interjection about my black suede choker necklace:

Buy a long black suede string (craft store). 

Double wrap around your neck.

Act like a 90's cowgirl.

Hi, my name is Elshane and I’m a music festival junkie. Well, let me tweak that statement and just say a fun-seeker. An outdoor festival fun-seeker. Hi.

Therefore, it’s only natural that Napa Valley’s BottleRock Music Festival would be on the top of my list of all-time fun-seeking festivals. A festival that integrates wine connoisseurs, food truck enthusiasts and music lovers alike in the sprawling greenery of San Francisco’s outer banks? Yeah, that will work.

As classy as wine-infused music sounds, your lewk must fit the bill...

Take Jeremy Scott’s cue from Moschino this season, and skip the Coachella “Cheap” and go straight to “Chic” for this festival lewk. I chose this airy pencil skirt with a flirty top because, well, won’t I look great holding a glass of Merlot in this? Oh, and don’t forget a wild headpiece. Never forget a wild headpiece.

A jumpsuit can go such a long way… CUE:

Ate too much breakfast. Jumpsuit.

Can’t find my jeans. Jumpsuit.

Didn’t shave my legs. Jumpsuit.

Nail are too long to handle zippers. Jumpsuit.

Don’t feel like fitting in. Jumpsuit.

Don’t feel like standing out. Jumpsuit.

List can go on.

I am grooving with this neutralized pink hue for spring. It’s an ode to mauve, which is a scary hue for many, but the brightness of this core pink gives it a nod of mod.  You can try the hue in just about any silhouette, which you can find on my shopping scroll, below! I vote for a top to pair back to white jeans for effortless summer chic.

I've been a huge fan of the drop crotch ever since I spent nearly a year ON TOUR with Justin Bieber {styling opening act Carly Rae Jepsen} and watched him eat, sleep and breathe the drop.

There's a certain air of confidence that comes with walking with a secret stash in your crotch. I've been known to carry extra gold chains and sometimes Peanut M&M's in the open, unused space. I can only imagine what Justin was slangin' in that crotch all year long.

Meaning? A drop crotch is only for a select few who are in need of multi-tasking. Or a third hand.

Do you dare?
