Whats Up.

The raddest French Bull Dog Puppy alive...She has a bow behind her, she has a diamond chain, she's black & white and she's really just my dream dog. I would like to name her Miss Piggy.

Flea Market Finds!

A few months ago, Justine and I spent our Sunday at the Alameda Point Antiques and Collectibles Faire. This flea market is like no other than I have ever been to and worth the $5.00 it costs to enter! I think i'd even have to say it even comes in first before the Portobello Market in London..I know I know,  it's a long shot but i'm goin' for it! Anyways, a newbie to this market, just ask Justine...I was ooing and aahhing at every booth we passed, and much to her delight, stopping at every booth ;)

A perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday, looking over the beautiful city of San Francisco rummaging through amazing antiques, jewels, fur's, furniture ( I'm definitely furnishing my next apt. with finds from there). I had to stop myself from going overboard and buying too much stuff. Justine stopped me from getting this rad sword that I wanted to gift to someone for Christmas, she said something about it being "dangerous" for me to walk around with it...pfff. Although I did come home with a beautiful new Russian crystal champagne glass to add to my collection, an antique crystal lighter, a sweet necklace that I gave my friend Lindsey for Christmas which was adored with a gun and a charm that said "Ace".  It's pretty fitting, if you knew her you would understand. I also got this antique pocket watch, key and brass stamped G, to make a charm necklace out of! The fair only happens the FIRST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH so make sure next month you don't miss it! It's definitely a gem of a find by the bay if you ask me!

Coachella Ella Ella...

A virgin to the festival in the fields of Indio, I am SO excited that I have decided to pop my Coachella Cherry this year! After seeing the lineup and collaboration of artists, I literally gasped in excitement. Not too Hipster, not too Hip-Hop (to be honest i'd say I am more of an old school Hip-Hop lover myself (Thanks to Mags!) but that's OK). Naturally with all this Coachella talk, I can't help but get amped to put together some "serious outfits" as my good friend Justine would say, and buy some new festival threads! Lucky me that I live in the most amazing area to Vintage Shop, Haight St. BEWARE we're comin' for ya!

 Stay tuned, because in the next few months leading up to this event ill be posting my,"Festival Must Have's" as well as my tip's on how to vintage shop like a pro for all ya'll to enjoy!

♥ Heartforward ♫ ♪

The best part about loving what you do for a living is that you never feel like you are working! I just got back from a quick trip to Urban Outfitters to meet Camaron Ochs and sister Jillian to pick out a rockin' outfit for her album release party this Saturday. Jillian contacted me after seeing my blog and asked if I would like to help Camaron for this event. I happily accepted the offer as I had become a fan of Camaron's music via Facebook a few months prior and loved all the songs off her debut album, Heartforward. After setting up the dressing room with about 10 different outfits, the girls showed up and Camaron put on a little fashion show for us as we sipped Kombucha's (I really should provide my clients with a bubbly glass of Veuve, maybe next time!).  A few of the outfits were no-no's, lot's yes-yes's... especially my fav, the one when she was channeling her inner Lady GaGa! (Im kicking myself for not taking photos, but the employee's @ Urban don't like photography in dressing room's, sigh)

After a bit of deliberating, Camaron chose the red high-waisted skirt that I paired with a chiffon studded tank. It is a very cute, venue appropriate outfit that will only add a nice flair to her natural beauty!

Stay tuned for pictures of the outfit and the event, but in the meantime check out her website http://www.camaronochs.com/

If you are in or around the San Francisco Bay Area and want to come to the show, you can purchase a ticket for Saturday night off her website and receive a FREE copy of the album, Heartforward upon entry of the Red Devil Lounge! Thats a deal if I ever heard one!

Pass this flyer along to 5 people....Or else you will have bad fashion karma for 1 year! (haha!)

And..Check out my favorite tracks:

JUST IN: Jean Paul Gaultier For Target Lookbook!

Where high fashion meets the masses.

Target has always been known for collaborating with high end designers to give the average consumer a chance to embrace their inner fashionista. I think its a great way for the designers to connect with the masses and give them an opportunity to get a little taste of  the beauty that is High Fashion.

Not everyone can afford to hop down to Rodeo Dr. or Madison Ave. and pick up the new items hot off the runway, although thanks to "Tarjay" now you can!

 Jean Paul Gaultier for Target will be available in stores March 7th 2010.

With pricing ranging from $17.99 to $199.00 for leather pieces, there really is something for everyone!

CUPCAKES FOR A CAUSE

This past summer I had the amazing opportunity to work with Faith Wheeler, a dear friend and President & CEO of Faith Wheeler & Co. a Marketing and PR firm based out of San Francisco. Candace Nelson, Founder of Sprinkles Cupcakes is one of Faith's clients, therefore I had the chance to meet & work along side her on a few projects. As sweet as the cupcakes she bakes, Candace and husband Charles are as passionate about baking as they are about their commitment to supporting worthy causes.

Today, January 16th Sprinkles is donating 100% of the proceeds from their Red Cross Red Velvet cupcakes to the American Red Cross to benefit the Haiti Relief Fund.

Satisfy your Sweet Tooth today and for once don't feel too guilty about it!

I've always had a thing for skater boys. I don't know what it is...

But this LV deck makes me want to become a skater girl myself.

How F'n Rad-a-tad is this? Keep blowing my mind Louis,

I love you.

BFF Friday!

Patricia Field & all things Sex And The City 

I don't know HOW I am just seeing this trailer now, but Sex And The City 2 looks like it will be even more Fabulous than the first. I know some critics did not enjoy SATC 1, and to you I say, you do not exist to me...

Patricia Field, the genius behind Carrie Bradshaw's incomparable style is truly my idol. I look up to the wacky ways she pairs Bradshaw's Manolo's with  flea market find's & gold gangster chains and the impeccable way she dresses Charlotte in her Oscar de la Renta sun dresses, pins her bow's and chooses the perfect paisley to create the uber femme.

SO if you have been under the same ROCK as it seems that I have been, here is the SATC 2 trailer. Feast your eyes on these stylish ladies!

How HOT are CB's Mukita & Bernhard Willhelm Aviators!
 I WANT, I WANT!

First Stop, London Town

After 1 book, 2 inflight movies, 3 awful airplane meals, 4 trashy mag's and 5 hours of sleep cuddled in my cashmere scarf & "do not disturb signs" aka eye mask & ear phones, we finally arrived in the United Kingdom. We touched down at Heathrow Airport to a winter wonderland. Snow was falling which is rare for London and I was thanking god I had just bought a new wool coat because it was a bitter 20 degrees! My dad and I were greeted by my cousins Manal & Rami and they drove us over the apartment we were renting which was located in Butlers Wharf (the financial area). Butlers Wharf, located on the South bank of the Thames River is just downstream of Tower Bridge. It was built in the 19th century and previously was a warehouse complex and shipping wharf. It had once contained the largest tea warehouse in the world, although since the 80's, Butlers Wharf has been transformed into luxury flats with shops and restaurants on the ground floors. I was really excited to visit a new part of London that in previous trips I had not discovered before.

Dad in the Kitchen

We only had a one full day in London before we were heading to Cairo so we woke early, got all bundled up and headed out to walk around. We walked through Soho on Carnaby Street, up and down Bond St. admiring all the amazing flagship designer stores and we lingered in Harrods for hours to get out of the cold! We also found our way over to the Big Ben,TOPSHOP (my fav!) The School of Art & The London Eye.

Later that night I met up with Manal, Rami and Amir again to say my goodbyes and for dinner at Nando's, another one of my London fav's! I was happy to say id see them again soon, as I would be back to London for another week after Egypt. 

New Vintage Steez

Check out the new sunnies my cousin Magdi so kindly gifted me!

Dad and I met up with Magdi for Tea and he surprised me with these Christian Dior Vintage Shades seen here on Miss Rihanna. 

They are Fabulous if I do say so myself! Thank you Mags + Tamer!
