It seems like my life these days has been littered with obstacles to overcome. Thus, I have been feeling the need to leave the house wearing a suit of armor so that I am ready to take on it all. An outfit can have a transformative affect on one’s mood and the attitude she puts out to the world (true…
street style
lust lust lust
I was spending some quality time in blog land yesterday and stumbled upon some pictures that gave me seriously lust. Jak & Jil blog posted these street style photos earlier this week of some very chic ladies carrying the latest “it” bag in the fashion scene- the Céline Classic Box Bag – during Paris & NY Fashion Week. I am…
strawberry fields forever
One of my favorite summertime treats is fresh strawberry ice cream in a cone in the afternoon. My hometown has the best, and cutest, little ice cream shop downtown, Mora (Spanish & Italian for Blackberry). The business was started by a couple from Argentina (which, apparently, has amazing ice cream) and they make all of the…
top knot-ch
My girlfriend Hilaire showed up to the wedding last weekend sporting one of the biggest hair trends for this summer: the top knot. And I liked it. Not an easy one to pull off, that top-knot… Trend board below: who what wear covers the summer hair trend Lanvin, Marc Jacobs & Nina Ricci send top…
what i wore: modern bohemian
On Sunday night, while I was still in Seattle with my family, my parents threw a dinner party for some old friends. What to wear was on my mind all weekend (I had my outfit picked out for the wedding that Saturday days before). I wanted to be cozy and warm with the chilly evening weather Seattle has been having lately, as well…
heart shaped glasses
I woke up this morning and looked out my window only to see an overcast sky, yet again. The weather report on the news says even more days of gloom in San Francisco. Isn’t it August? This weather is making it hard to get out of bed. I wish I had these heart shaped sunglasses like my…
what i wore: backyard bbq
I will admit it here: I am a sundress kind of girl. I pretty much live in them in the summer. I consider them to be an easy, cute, low maintenance entire look. Normally, a sundress would be my go-to attire for a Summer weekend backyard BBQ. But, this past Saturday I decided to mix it up and…
breton striped
I picked up this Breton striped dress at Gap the other day and brought it out this past weekend, since it was kind of perfectly festive without being obnoxious. Since it is the ubiquitous Gap, and shockingly affordable at $39.50, I saw many a gal sporting it around the city over the weekend. But I’m okay with that,…
happy 6th of july
Happy 6th of July! I can’t believe it is already July. It hit me this weekend as I turned my calendar over and started celebrating Independence Day and the long weekend. …. … Normally I go home to Seattle for 4th of July weekend to hang out with my family and enjoy the festivities on our little island. It unfortunately didn’t happen this…
Subversive
My accessories theme continues into this week with a post on one of my favorite jewelry designers: Justin Giunta, creator of Subversive by Justin Giunta and now Deviated by Justin Giunta. I can’t exactly remember when my obsession with Justin Giunta’s work began. I am thinking sometime in the fall/winter of 2007, after his work began…
