Citizens of the world

I finally got down to neighborhood boutique, Eco Citizen, It’s such a great little place, with so many wonderful eco-friendly clothing. Many of the designers they carry are from San Francisco, so making it such a wonderful little jem. Seriously, she has all the great William Good, and Turk&Taylor clothes, along with some really high-end [...]

She’s got legs…

I’m not a pants person. I hate wearing pants for some reason, even as a little girl, I hated wearing pants. But since I have my bike, and I love riding it… my wardrobe has to adapt a little. Tight fitting leggings or skinny jeans, casual stuff, that gets more interesting with detailing like [...]

California Vinatge.. and we’re not talking about my closet, nor are we talking about Napa Valley

I’m about to become very confused. It’s bad enough, American Apparel is where I get my basics, and American Rag is where I get a lot of my vintage, but now American Apparel is opening California Vintage with locations currently in Mexico City, Berlin, LA…

Before you burnout…

Drugs and alcohol aren’t exactly strangers to fashion. Actually, drugs and alcohol aren’t exactly strangers to any human related industry, except maybe Amish quilt making….
