Hollywood, Ca- As I was getting ready to have a Lunch at the W hotel On Sunset and Vine, I spotted a fresh faced girl, walking out of the valet parking, in a simple but chic California Summer outfit. I thought to myself, do I want a statement look to be my first ‘Street Scene Post’ or would I be better off starting with this basic, on point outfit this girl had put together. Inevitably my decision was made clear when I approached her and struck up a conversation. Her quick wit and charm solidified her outfit as the rightful winner of the first Stye Seen Daily Street Scene .

Blo at W Hotel in Hollywood, CA.

Never did I think I’d wake up one morning and walk into the W Hotel asking for a blow job. Sounds funny right? Well it definitely is a good time from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave.  The salon is ultra-chic with fabulous employees you can’t get enough of.  It is something you will only have to experience once to be completely hooked.  You will become a Blo addict.

This brand new ‘blow dry bar’ makes sure clients get their hair washed and styled in under 30 minutes for around $30. There’s no cutting or coloring.

Before my Blo experience at the W Hotel Hollywood.

We all have those days our hair just does not want to work with us, well fortunately there is a new dry bar in a perfect location. Blo is open 7am by to 9pm by appointment or 9am to 7pm walk-in.  Whether you want to get your hair styled before getting into the office or for a night out on the town, Blo is ideal for you.

Just a few minutes into my appointment at Blo located at the W Hotel Hollywood.

The Blo hair menu offers you seven looks that will have you looking and feeling fabulous in 30 minutes. The looks offered are: red carpet, executive sweet, hunt club, high society, holly would, hugs sex and rock &roll, and boho braid.

Rocking out to just a few songs while getting my Blo on at the W Hotel Hollywood.

I chose the hugs, sex and rock & roll look described as more rocker-chic than rocker-chick. This look is voluminous, and looks like a good time, definitely for a night out. If you’re feeling daring and adventurous I recommend this look for you.

And just 30 minutes later... I'm in love with my hugs, sex and rock & roll look from Blo at the W Hotel Hollywood.

I am now obsessed with the blo hair menu and plan on spending much time there because as they taught me, you can’t just blo yourself!

All done!. Hugs, sex and rock & roll look from Blo at the W Hotel Hollywood.

The W Los Angeles- Westwood created a winter wonderland to celebrate the opening of their ice skating rink CHILL for the season. The event, which served as a charity fundraiser for the Children’s Action Network, was hosted by Scoundrels actress Virginia Madsen, writer and director of his self-named movie and former foster child, Antwone Fisher, and the I Hate Valentine’s Day actress Nia Vardalos. They all came out to show their support for national child adoption and to enjoy a night filled with ice skating, Ciroc vodka drinks, delicious food, and winter fun.

‘Tis the season to bundle up for winter, and even though it was 60 degrees at the CHILL event, the guests filled me in on some of their favorite winter fashion items. A Christmas Wish actress and winner of Skating with the Celebrities Kristy Swanson brought her adorable son Magnus to the event, and told us that her favorite winter accessory is hats. She likes that you can only wear wool hats and beanies in the colder months so she takes advantage and loves to keep her head warm and cute.

Co-host Virginia Madsen told Style Seen Daily that she loves wearing leg warmers in the winter. An avid bikram yogi, she gets compliments all the time on her fashionable ankle accessory.

Synopsis:  The W Hotel is hosting an art exhibition for the California-based clothing company.

Style Seen Daily friend and San Diego Chargers Linebacker Shaun Phillips co-hosted the “Modern Man” party for Angeleno Magazine at the rooftop pool of The Residences At W Hollywood.

Angeleno also asked four other “modern men” to host the event with Shaun, including Jesse Waits owner of Drai’s Hollywood, Pedro Marti wealth management advisor for Wells Fargo, Matt Petersen president of Global Green, and Tom Drumm from The Safran Company.

Shaun reveals that he dresses to match his beloved convertible Maserati.  ”Always,” he said. “I love my car.”  OMG I can’t even ask him what he has named his car… some things just better left unasked.  However I did ask Shaun about his suit and learned he had it custom made by Astor and Black.

Jesse Waits, owner of Drai’s Hollywood, said being being successful to him is “not about the money, but about being the best in the world at doing something different.”  (Note: As soon as Drai’s Hollywood opened it scored a scene in Entourage as the new “it” club.)

Party goers at the Angelino "Modern Man" event were able to watch the sunset and check out the Los Angeles skyline atop The Residences At W Hollywood while enjoying cocktails and appetizers.

Matt Peterson, Global Green CEO, wore a suit made out of organic wool and recycled audio cassette tapes — yes AUDIO tapes. Matt personally works with such celebrities as Leonardo DiCaprio, James Cameron, Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria to help raise awareness of being more green.  Matt said, “well you know when a celebrity steps up people pay attention so we’re doing all we can to use that opportunity to drive us in the right direction.”  IE being more green friendly.  Click here to learn more about Global Green.

Tom Drumm, Talent Manager at The Safran Company, said that he advises men to find a girl with great style to help guide them to looking and feeling their best.  What a smart man.  Drumm said, “whatever (my girlfriends) say, I do.”  I mean, super genius smart, right?

Event sponsors included Don Julio Tequila (my favorite) and Johnnie Walker Scotch Whiskey.
