The Future Is Now

 


Feeling inspired by two things at the moment: Carine Roitfeld and the lean and mean look of futurism. It's easy to explain the source of inspiration from Carine Roitfeld, she's famous for her point of view on fashion (seen now in her amazing magazine CR Fahion Book), her personal style, and her iconic confidence to be daring and extraordinary in said fashion. This recent shoot for Net-a-Porter Magazine showcases her feminine sense of styling with the ability to mix in over-the-top, yet deceivingly minimal pieces — check out those sunglasses in the last shot. I'm absolutely in love with the first shot, layering a skimpy, strappy dress over a long sleeve top. This was my mantra growing up, never having been a fan of showcasing all that skin. What's even more amazing is how she handles career, aging, motherhood, and even grand-motherhood with such grace, with the same adventurous spirit as a woman in her 20s. It's incredibly inspiring to me.

What's more exciting is that Net-a-Porter offered my the opportunity to curate a shop of my favorite picks showcasing the futurism trend. It's no surprise then that I chose shiny metallics, super clean pieces, and some hefty metal accessories. Shop The Future Is Now at Net-a-Porter »

Drinks with Net-a-Porter, Refinery 29, and San Francisco's Best



I just wanted to have a moment to commemorate a lovely evening with Net-A-Porter and Refinery 29. The evening was pleasant and I had a fantastic time last night meeting up with fellow San Francisco bloggers. Fine people like Maia from Design Conundrum, Anh from  9to5chic.com, Blair from Atlatic-Pacific, Tara from The Wonder Girl, Britt and Whit from, duh, Britt & Whit,  Erin of Apartment 34, Natalie from Like Fresh Laundry, and Kathleen from InspiraFashion. Everyone was super spring looking despite the nasty clouds and periodic rain, and the designer-inspired cocktails were kind of amazing.  I'm drinking the sweet and bold Miu Miu in that picture, but I also had a taste of the clean citrus Stella McCartney, and the ultra favorite of the night, the elderflower and basil infused Burberry drink.

Huge thanks for Nicole and Alison of Net-A-Porter for setting this up. It was great to see everyone again. Also a shout out to the great Joanna Riedl, too! Amazing people!
 

Good Vibrations

Wishful thinking on a cloudy morning for sunny beach weather and The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" on the radio.

A quirky Diane Kordas black lightning bolt necklace and a Chinti and Parker's soft tank layered under a Zoe Karssen LOVE sweater are a perfect way to start a surf-inspired outfit. Keeping with the comfort culture, pairing it with an elasticized band Elizabeth and James sequined shorts. For polish, Hope sandals and an equally clean Alexander Wang Fall 2012 Pelican clutch (available for pre-order on Moda Operandi).
