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.

Joe and Holly

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.

Spring-a-ling

Now that the stores have started to roll out their spring lines, I guess I can start thinking about spring and stop wondering which coats I should get on super sale. This spring, I want white everything, sheer blouses and a maxi dress, is that too much to ask? I revisited Style.com to see the Spring 2011 lines since I was not paying attention in September and here's what I liked:

I really love the color combination of this look. If I could only get one item from this outfit, I'd take the sweater hands downs.

Beautiful Lanvin.

ditto.

I'm really hoping American Apparel does a knock-off of this pretty pretty Prada dress.

Dear Bottega Veneta, this one is perfection.

Love this sheer Vanessa Bruno blouse.

Sonia Rykiel can do no wrong. 

Blanket

Friday, I went to the Print Workshop book launch at the Curiosity Shoppe in the mission. The Shoppe is small but had a lot of interesting treasures in it, though I'm not sure what it usually looks like because it seemed like they put a lot of stuff up from the book. Anyway, I bought Christine Schmidt's new book Print Workshop, which so far has kept me busy. I made this yesterday.

Old blue blanket + potatoes + paint + carving instrument = new park/beach blanket.
