Came with the Clutch

Other than denim, nude is definitely one of my top favorite colors for summer. This Alexander McQueen studded clutch is flawless. Definite addition if you want to "spike" up your summer wardrobe.

Let's get cozy for the winter

I'm loving all the different styles from Hortensia knitwear. They are also carrying gorgeous sweaters and knits made of Alpaca wool. I will be buying a few of everything and just layer it all.

My Favorite Sweater

James Perse Boiled Cut Away Cashmere Sweater.

I have it in Charcoal and Black, and I have to admit, this sweater might be one of the top 3 things I can't live without.

Current Obsessions

The lovely women of Litter SF create amazing jewelry. I bought the piece below online, and went to their Union st location in SF, to pick it up. The girls were so sweet and kind and told me all about their jewelry line, and up and coming projects that they will be working on. Watch out folks, these are the girls to watch.

Once I got there, they customized the below ring for me. It has more chains on it but basically looks like the one below.

Bordelle's Autumn Collection

Well, all you readers out there should know how I feel about lingerie. So when I saw Bordelle's new Autumn collection it is pretty much assumed that the new pieces would put a dent in my wallet...and my lingerie drawer.

Russell James: Retrospective Book

Here are a few of my favorite flicks from the book...

Suggested Summer Read

"On the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary, Assouline presents the authoritative volume on the bikini with iconic images from its history, a study of its symbolism, and a look at the most defining fashions.
A sexy alternative to the one-piece swimming costume, the bikini forever changed the way women relate to their bodies. Smaller than the world s smallest bathing suit, as it was first described by its creator Frenchman Louis Reard, the bikini has become a symbol of female sensuality and liberation.
Here is a four hundred page tribute to the Hollywood pin-ups of the 50s; Bond girls Ursula Andress and Halle Berry rising up from the sea; the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, birthplace of the tanga; Brigitte Bardot, topless and poolside in St. Tropez; the itsy bitsy teeny weeny styles of the 60s; beach bodies on spring break; the monokini, tankini, bandini, and v-kini; the strappy and the sporty; the sexy and the outrageous. But whether iconic or ordinary, scandalous or social, every image of the bikini in this luscious volume is about beauty."

These are awesome!

i'm INTO it

New from Pepsi is an all-natural soda drink made from apple extract, plain caramel coloring, coffee leaf, tantaric acid from grapes, gum arabic, cane sugar and sparkling water - as opposed to the traditional Pepsi recipe of fructose corn syrup, sugar, artificial colorings, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavors.

Speaking of Sneaks

2009 is coming hard with sneaker headway. Seems like rubber soles might be the new focal point for '09 fashion. Guess stilettos will have to scoot over and share the limelight. Now if "game" was finally packaged and up for sale...this is what it'd look like (hint: the kicks do all the talking for you).

There ain't nothing wrong with keepin' it old school

So, a couple months a go, my camera broke because my dog knocked it off the counter. Then during Bay to Breakers, I dropped it and that was the end of that. Since I've moved into my new place my mom brought over a whole bunch of Fujifilm disposable cameras and I've been using them sporadically over the last few months. I love the quality of the pics, but I must admit it's quite embarassing whipping this bad boy out. Pictures will be up from my most recent venture with the camera shortly...

Oh my!
