the light

Say hello to my new chandelier! I got the idea from Design Sponge and it has truly brightened up my room. Learn how to make your own here.

Snow

Saturday there was Snow in San Francisco. It was a "White Fashion Event" that featured white collections from eight Bay Area designers; Acta Non Verba, Dcepcion, Cari Borja, Dahae Kim, Gr.dano, Daniel Sudar, Varreries & Sako, Joseph Domingo. The audience, like the models, were all dressed in white, which I thought was a terrible idea but it looked amazing. However, the person who decided that only white wine should be served is an idiot. Anyway, here are some pictures of the crowd.

 And  a few on the pictures I managed to get of the collections.

AA nail polish recall

Yesterday I was reading the style section of the NYTimes and I got to that section 10 Things to Talk About this Weekend and one thing on the list was American Apparel is suing their nail polish manufacturer. So I decided to do some research since I open a few bottles of AA nail polish. I found this article and decided to call the Berkeley store to see if I could trade in the bottle of butter that I bought in July. I was transferred twice and then a manager agreed to swap out my old defective bottle for a new. He even told me I could choose a different color if I wanted, so I seized the opportunity. I decided on California Trooper. I look on google images to show you a picture of my new nail polish and I saw some very interesting nail polish pictures. So if you have the time, I encourage you to search google images for  "AA nail polish California Trooper".

National Dinner Party day

Tuesday was National Dinner Party day and coincidentally Liz planned a dinner party.

The appetizers.

Bryan Kahler's not-so-homemade corn and lemongrass soup.

Espardenyes

These espardenyes are my very late Christmas present that came all the way from Barcelona. I was already excited for spring and then came these! I'm hoping my new footwear were braided to last because they feel so delicate. They don't feel anything like wicker. When I wear them I feel like I'm walking on a purse or something. I'll keep you updated on how they hold up.
