PARTY TIME with Mira Mira, Rue Magazine and Photobooth!

Last week Photobooth teamed up with Mira Mira and Rue Magazine to throw an amazing party filled with all of SF's favorite fashionistas. The party included all my favorite things...Drinks, music, Sweet treats, live colored polaroids, My favorite fashionable people and best of all SHOPPING! Mira Mira not only set up a pop up shop but was also handing out styling tips. I was lucky enough to be a part of the event by being a live mannequin. My duties included wearing an amazing outfit styled by Mira herself, taking polaroids of the guests and socializing. Um can we say BEST JOB EVER! I was also lucky enough to do the job with two of my best friends Sally and Kalisha which was pretty much the icing on the cake. Here are some pictures of the event...
Full House!

Loved To Death







I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I LOVE this skirt. However, I failed to mention that my favorite top to pair it with is a graphic tee from Chaser, and in this case it's my favorite Megadeath one. I have worn the shit crap out of this shirt. I have started to collect these Chaser shirts like they are pogs, and really have no intention of stopping. They could possibly be the best graphic tee EVER. I blame Mira (owner of Mira Mira aka where this whole outfit came from) for this obsession. Her store always has a new selection of  these shirts and if I don't pounce and buy them when they first come in I am sure to miss out...and I hate missing out! 
The fur coat combo kinda happened on accident. I brought it to shoot with a different outfit in mind but ended up throwing it on because it was freezing. After seeing a few shots of it paired with this outfit I fell in love. It kind of reminds me of Kate Hudson in Almost Famous if she, instead of being a flower loving hippy, hung out in the mission and drank PBR. Bad ass shirt + girly silk Sheer flower skirt = awesome right? I think so.

Black and White





I have decided to step my game up! Well my photo game anyways. (My regular game is pretty much the same.) I am so happy and extremely lucky to be teaming up with amazing local photographer Josie Ramondetta. We did our first shoot together over the weekend and it was SO much fun. She is amazing and I urge everyone to check out her work. Look out for more shoots coming soon!

Ps. This Mink Pink cardigan is the most amazing cardigan EVER! I recently got it from Mira Mira  and I  have had to stop myself from sleeping in it. It is one of those pieces where people can't help but stop you and ask you where you got it. I actually even had someone ask to "pet" it. It photographs like a dream too. Totally obsessed.

The Golden Taco Party

This past Thursday was an exciting night. First off I got to spend it with my wonderful friend Mira. This is always an exciting treat because she is one of the busiest ladies I know. We started our night off going to the restaurant Lolo on 22nd street. Mira frequents this place and has more then once talked about how amazing it is. With that said I will just say this...Mira knows her shit. Not only is Lolo’s fantastic, but its also so amazing that I couldn’t help but try a tuna taco. Let me note that I have been a strict vegetarian for around 6 years. However, lately I feel like I may have an inner foodie that I am keeping hostage inside of me and who is screaming to get out. Not sure If I will succumb fully to these urges but that tuna taco at Lolo’s...delicious. After stuffing our faces and having a cocktail that literally came in a bucket, we headed to Project One gallery for the “Gold” opening reception. The “Gold” themed exhibit, curated by Brooke Waterhouse was inspired by the gold rush of 1848 and included amazing paintings, stenciled records, stunning jewelry and a giant tiger covered in an obscene amount of glitter (to name a few pieces). Project One was also celebrating their 3 year anniversary that night and tons of people flocked to see the art, enjoy the open bar and get their dance on. We ran into some friends and I got introduced to some new ones, including Mira’s dear friend Sonnie who throws the events for the gallery. Sonnie was rocking it out in head to toe pieces from Mira Mira and I crowned her “best dressed’ at the event. After mingling for a while and getting my photo op with the glitter tiger I headed home...full of tuna tacos and with traces of gold glitter on my sweater. 
The “Gold” exhibit at Project One Gallery is running till December 3rd. Check it out!

What Happens In Vegas...








This past weekend I went to Vegas to celebrate one of my best friends engagements. It wasn't a bachelorette party, but more of a pre-party before the big day (which will most definitely be off the hook...yeah I said off the hook). This is what I wore to the airport Friday when I flew out. The obnoxious florescent pink color of this free people shirt doesn't read well on camera but trust me, it's hard to miss someone that's wearing it. I also figured that since I have worn these Aldo platforms in 3 out of 4 outfit posts I should explain why...they are comfortable and cute. End of story. I love to wear them when I fly for both those reasons and because they are easy to get on and off, which comes in handy when going through security. These black Court jeans that I got from Mira Mira are the best thing to ever happen to me and my butt. They are beyond flattering and I could wear them for days in a row (which I often do) and they don't stretch out. They are like a little slice of jean heaven.

I wish I could say that I took a bunch of awesome pictures while actually in Vegas but the truth Is I literally took 4 pictures on my camera and they are horrible. Like blurry and unflattering angle horrible. So it looks like what happens in Vegas has no choice but to stay in Vegas.

Jeans: Court Via Mira Mira
Shoes: Aldo
Necklace: Forever 21
Jacket: Hanii Y

*Note: This amazing jacket and shirt belong to my best friend Sally (bride to be). Her closet is one of my favorites and it's like having my very own personal showroom to borrow from. She is pretty amazing for sharing. XO

New Kid On The Block






After breaking up with Southern California, I had no doubt in my mind about rebounding with San Francisco. After almost six years of being romanced by this city I am proud to say the relationship is still going strong. Factor in my incurable addictions to fashion, music and art and you have one hell of a match. Great shopping, amazing concerts and art shows, eclectic and fashionable street style...its hard not to get inspired in this city. So I figured I would jump on the blog wagon and document it - just like my personal style and taste I promise it will be all over the place.
