Look of the Day: Rue Turns One

Blogging is something that I love & adore. I love documenting things, sharing my life and thoughts with people, but most of all I love how blogging has lead me to meet so many amazing people on and off line.
I have been blown away with the community of San Francisco bloggers, their generosity, their openness and just their plain radicalness. Oh and hey Diane Steele, THEY ARE FASHIONABLE. I am beyond blessed to be welcomed into such an awesome community of people.

Let's just say when Anne Sage of Rue Magazine invited me out (just to PLAY) on Saturday night I just about died. How could I be so fortunate to call someone like Anne a friend? I mean just this week the she and her pal Crystal celebrated their one year anniversary of Rue magazine (CONGRATS LADIES!!) and they are the current tastemakers for Gilt City SF (check it out, those girls have STYLE & TASTE). I am one lucky girl, counting my stars (and wising on them...).
I love you all so much and I don't know what I would do without you all.

Melissa from Savy in San Francisco & I at Rue Magazine's Turns One Party. Let me just say BEST PARTY EVER!
My Dress is a four year old Parker ditty but this one is almost identical.
My shoes are also oldies but goodies 12th Street Cynthia Vincents but this pair also by her is just as badass and is on sale!

I've been dubbed the unofficial photo-booth queen of the group.
What can I say?
I like to get silly, and I like that silly documented!




I think silly and happy is the way to be.

Things I love: SF Blog Friends

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Refinery 29's Fashion's Night celebration party and I had a blast - to say the least. The Refinery 29 team is pretty radical, just sayin. The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and I met SO many amazing people. It was a good time.

I love going to blog events like last night's because they are fun, informative, and it's great way to network. But most of all I love seeing my friends. I used to call the group of women I see at events "blog friends" but lets be honest after months of seeing them on an (almost) weekly basis these ladies have become my friends.

While I was going through a rough part of my life I would look forward to seeing these ladies. None of them knew what I was going through, and it was nice and refreshing to start clean with them. The friendships I have developed with them are so special to me. I have learned something from all of them and they all inspire me (SO MUCH!). You know who you ladies are and I can't wait to see you all tonight!! xx

My fit.
My fave Free People sweater (similarhere & here).
My new Scout Twill Zip Crop pants c/o Jbrand(LOVE them!! I could wear them everyday if I could get away with it.)
Ash Lotus wedges (another fave)and some other regalia not worth mentioning.

Refinery 29 did a fab job of making us feel more then welcome and special.
I love feeling VIP.

I did not have any but the sushi looked amazing, so I paparazzied it.

Fashiontini, you know I helped myself to complimentary dranks that were being served.

Jeanne and I. I love her and so happy she came into my life. Maybe one of these days she'll invite me over to see her baby =)

Um yeah this fig toast was amazing and it was the only veggie friendly option. Katie(BKA MrsZambrano) and I discussed vegetarianism last night, it's something I've gone back and forth with over the years and am pretty passionate about.

Oh Samantha came out to play.
Last night my friend Tracy asked me if I have always been goofy.
Yes, Tracy, I've always been this way [insert klutzy drink spillage].

Super stoked for Fashion's Night Out tonight!
I hope you are participating in your city and locals I hope to see you tonight in SF!
