No Pants Allowed.

My daily posts have morphed into to weekly posts. 

Ay yay yay.

I feel like such a slacker.

My sincerest apologies for slowing down.

I've been working non-stop on a big project that's currently top secret.

Oo la la!

Shhhhhhh....

As the launch date approaches, I'll be giving my lovely followers the inside scoop. 

Woohoo!

So stay tuned.

The Rockabilly School Girl.

I'm totally sporting red lips but was unable to capture that aspect. 

Three Piece Angle.

I didn't get the best of sleep last night and I promised my baby girl, Daisy, that I'd take her to Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley today. Ugh. I felt like poopy head McGee and decided to take the lazy girls route by wearing jeans. And I do not wear jeans often! Nothing wrong with denim - it's just that it's so overdone and there are so many many many many other options out there - why just stick to the basics?  I do love me some jean wearin time once in a while and today I unabashedly pull out the I'm a busy mom, wife, entrepreneur, and lover of life. So there. Ha! 

Here's today's choice from a three piece angle:

Rings, street vendor
Sweater, H&M
Top, Gap
Jeans, Miss Sixty
Shoes, custom Converse

That 70's Show.

On my Wide Post from a couple of days ago, one of my readers, La Professionnelle, made a reference to Mila Kunis from That 70's Show. And that got me thinking, Ya know what? I'm really a 70's girl at heart, although I like to dable in other genres as well. Here's my ode to that decade:

 a little wrap dress

color blockin

leopard print

butterfly necklace

giant sunglasses

platform sandals

 Okay, wait a cotton pickin' minute - is that the 70's or is that now? Oooooh fashion, OOooooh stylin, what goes around comes around, don't it? It's all cyclical, just like life. Either way, I love it!

Let's get this started with a little leg, shall we? :)

Bold Mother Earth.

Today I felt connected with the earth in a most empowering way. 

I went through a very difficult personal situation last weekend and wept for days, felt like there was no tomorrow, and was utterly completely devastated. The world was muffled in both the visual and audio sense.  It was hard to see any light at the end of the long dark tunnel...

Until today.

Don't know what it is about this particular day, but all of a sudden things started getting better. A true smile found its way to my face. I felt the need to pay my respects to mother earth while grasping the bold happiness that I was finally able to feel again.

And so I let my outfit speak my truth on this fine day...

PS - The colors are totally muted on these pictures for some reason but appear bright and bold when viewed through iPhoto.  Anyone got a clue as to why?

My dance tribute to the gloriousness that is this day! :)

Back To School.

I've been out of school for a few years now but I think I've been missing that feeling a tiddly bitty-o this fall. The smell of freshman blood, the crispness of untouched notebooks, the computer-strained eyes, the need to purchase new clothes... 

Ah yes, those were the days!

To commemorate this feeling, I found myself pulling out a short pleated skirt, a thin long sleeve sweater and of course a nice little blazer to complete the Catholic School Girl look. I pranced around in this attire with my daughter and husband at Pier 39 in San Francisco, as all the kiddies were back hitting the books.

Ha!

I guess it DOES pay to be an adult sometimes.

When Summer Meets Fall.

What's so great (and crazy!) about living in the San Francisco Bay Area is that in one area, 

where I live, in Concord, CA, it's a solid 80+ degrees during the day,

and in South San Francisco, it's 55 degrees at the exact same moment.

30 degree difference in 30 minutes.

I kid you not. 

So really, you never put any of your fall/winter attire away because it's always cold somewhere!

Today I ventured out to South San Francisco because one of my best friends, Jen, is visiting from the Philippines. I had to carefully pick out something that could handle the extreme temperatures.

Thus, the bipolar ensemble: When Summer Meets Fall.
