Taiko

So last night we went to the International Taiko Festival in San Francisco, 'twas amazing. Some of the pieces where a little too modern for me but it was nice to see some gaijin up there getting down (though most of the drummers were Japanese). Although, I decided one thing I don't like about Taiko is how the audience doesn't get to get down. I saw heads bobbing, people smiling, and I thought taiko would be so much more appealing if you could dance to it. Nonetheless, last night was amazing but walking around San Francisco at night without a coat made me really not miss Nayoro....at all. This "winter" is going to be amazing.

NO.6 Club

I joined the club and bought the boots. I love them! I heard about NO.6 from this article a few years ago and ever since I've wanted a pair. They came this morning and they're amazing. I haven't taken them out but I've tried them on and the 41 fits my huge feet! I'll keep you update on the woes of breaking them in.

This bag should be mine. I saw it last week while shopping with my friend Sanch at Therapy in the mission. That store is amazing. It´s the first place I´ve ever seen Nixon bags. They had a few of them. When I got home I looked online and they´re a San Diego, CA based company with surfer/skater edge. I was surprised I like their stuff since I don´t surf nor skate and the boy I think is hot doesn´t either. I love this bag. It came in a few different shades but pink is best.

Faux Fur Buckle Gilet

        I really want one. This one is from topshop. Since we don't have topshop here on the west coast I'm going to have to be creative but if I don't find one by friday I'm ordering online. Any ideas on where to find one in San Francisco?

MJ&C

I was looking at the fall 2010 ready-to-wear collections today trying to decide what I wanted to get for this (very mild) winter. This year there will be no snow (!!!) so when I´m shopping for winter wear I can think stylish not survival. I narrowed what I really want down to brown, chunky knits, coats with buttons, coats without buttons and pretty much anything from Marc Jacob´s and Chloe´s collections. Oh, and I´d also like a faux-fur gilet. Pleeeease.

wild wild west

When I heard there was a black cowboy parade on Saturday I knew I had to go. It was so much more than I anticipated. There was a cowboy with dreads who literally made his horse dance. There were some cowgirls and the largest horse I've ever seen in my life (the 3rd picture)! Since I'm not a photojournalist, I completely forgot my camera so I had to use my blackberry to capture the magic. Oh, and as I suspected, no one said yee-ha.

Meet Joe

He's one of my more stylish friends. Every outfit I've ever seen him wear commands the eyes AND he pays all of his bills with money he makes working in the arts. So rare. He's also an optimist. He thinks fashion is in its incubating stage here in the Bay area. Based on the last time I went to fashion week in San Francisco (four years ago) I disagree, however, that would be exciting. Nonetheless, I'm going to enjoy him while I can because I'm sure he'll be on his way to NYC shortly. That's where everyone goes when they leave the Bay. Especially the well-dressed ones.
