Finnish Buttons
Montmarte’s Sketchbook posted a photograph by Anni Leppälä, I was instantly taken by the beauty and simplicity of the photograph. I love the artist’s statement about photography:I want to approach the momentariness of living through constancy. The paradox is that when you try to conserve or protect a moment by stopping it, you [...]
Today’s Attire : Waistcoat
It’s really hard to be alive, conscious of the fashion world and not be even a little bit influenced by Kate Moss. I tried to resist, but it got to me. I don’t even like to follow who’s modeling what that much. I don’t even care how much these chicks weigh. Except, I am stoked [...]
Streets of SF: Summer Cozies
Ok, ok, I know, I really am quite aware that the rest of the world has summer in full swing. You guys get cold at nite though? Do you? Please say yes. Well, here, it’s pretty much skitzophrenic as far as weather is concerned, so you’ll need your sweater handy all year ’round. I love [...]
Snippet of Reality
I rode the bus yesterday. Normally I walk… but I had to meet Joe and Kezia across town. It’s fascinating how we squish together in this capsule, and remain in our own little worlds. Three of us acknowledge eachother… in silence.
Today’s Attire : Old Lace
Today, I’m wearing a bunch of layers of lace. A slip… a vintage dress worn backwards (I like the v-neck, zipper and pleats).There is nothing profound to say about it, only the dress was under $10.: )
Brownies & Frownies
Last night I made it to my favorite beauty supply shoppe, it’s way over priced, but they have a great selection of products for me to play with and inspect. I just thought I’d share with you my purchases…ARTec color depositing shampoo, in Walnut. My hair is brown, I’ve tried highlights, lowlights, and hair coloring. [...]
Aussie Mega Sale
Since Elizabeth Charles opened on Filmore Street, I’ve been oooing and awing at the clothes in the window display, beautiful dresses, but I’ve always been to focused on other things to stop in. Finally last Saturday, I saw a woman in a cafe wearing the most beautiful long black jersey dress. It was just [...]
Streets of SF: Pastels
I don’t usually like to wear pastels, because they make me feel like a fraud. That’s a real quote by yours truly (me). It’s not so much being a fraud, but my complexion that I feel strange about mixing with pastels. This woman does it well, she makes Easter colors look edgy, and I like [...]
How I learned to walk in high heels.
There are only a few pairs of shoes I own that cannot be walked in for at least one mile on city streets. It’s a requirement, because I don’t drive.
My first pair of proper heels were Marc Jacobs, 3.5″ polka-dot peep toes. I knew this woman who wore heels all the time, open toed, in [...]
Shoe D’Jour : Grey Ribbons
Above are a pair of shoes belonging to Queen Michelle of Kingdom of Style. She got them at Ravel in the UK, at a going-out-of-business sale? I’m not sure. But I have to post these because she put gunmetal grey ribbons in white lace-up pumps. Ah! Ribbon laces! I had a pair of [...]
