Look of the Day: Goofballing

Not all my outfits are exciting. I don't always have fun blog events to get ready for. And let's be honest, if I'm not doing anything special going on I don't get all dolled up to do things like go to the dentist. Which I how I spent my afternoon yesterday. A fun top and an accessory is all I need on a cold summer day on an afternoon filled with mundane chores. But let's just say even if my outfit isn't all that great, don't ever call me boring. If there's one thing I fear, it's being boring! I try to make even the most boring days a little interesting...

Can you tell I am obsessed with this darn bow?

Bow from LF stores {similar}
Pink blouse from Ambiance in San Francisco {similar and love it!},
JBrand Martini Jeans (I live in these things right now)
Target studded sandals (Similar),
Neon CC SKYE bracelet purchased from Sneakpeeq.

Happy Thursday!

Look of the Day: The Max

Maybe it's me but when I hear the word Max, Zack Morris and Ac Slater immediately pop in my head. That show made my summer mornings as a kid. I mean Zach Morris? How hot was that guy? Plus Jessie taught me to stay away from caffeine pills. Who wants to study all the time anyway? Little Lisa Turtle and her outfits ways were the epitome of 90's fashion. Screech showed me you can be a geek and still hang with the cool kids. And I mean I practically grew up with Tiffiani Amber Theisan. As Kelly Kapowski or Valeire Malone, I was pretty sure since we both had Amber in our names we shared a connection...
In any case here is me rocking a a skirt to the max for the latest Bloggers Do it Better Challenge.

Can you tell the weather is gloomy here?
I practically dressed for the fall.

LF Stores blouse (similar here), Forever 21 Maxi Skirt (Similar), LF Bow (check this one out).

It's all right, 'cus I'm Saved by the Bell

Things I Love: An Eye For Style

Recently my Glitter Guide launch party oufit was featured on the street style blog Styley (and on Kate's Tumblr blog Picturebook). I loved the pictures and my feature so much I wanted to share. Get inspired and head over to Styley to check out other local stylish peeps.

Probably my favorite outfit as of late.

For outfit details click here.

And since I'm talking about featured check out this video from the Sokenbicha event I hosted. the Camera pans (and um stays) on me at 1:17. I make mediating for 10 minutes in Union Square look hella easy!

Look of the Day: One Time Wear

Ever have a piece of clothes you purchase and you never wear it? You may love it, but it never makes it out of you closet. Well that what this shirt is to me. I purchased it about a year ago from Anthropologie and could never work it into any outfit. I never had the perfect skirt to rock a Kim like outfit, and it just seemed boring to just pair it with jeans. But I did it anyway, and surprisingly I received a ton of compliments on it. It's still not piece I can wear all the time, but sometimes it's fun to pieces that can only be worn a handful times and then can be sold (more on a cool new app you can use to sell pieces like this later...)

These pictures were taken in front of a brick wall in San Francisco, I think it complimented my top perfectly.

Anthropologie top, Urban Expressions bag, J brand Martini flare jeans and Target wooden clog sandals.

Hope your Monday is going well! I am gearing up (no pun intended) to go on a bike ride, should be fun!
You know my new toy is coming along!

Things I Love: I Don't Want to Grow Up

I'm still a kid at heart and I love toys. And no, they don't have to be of the Toy's R Us variety. Whether it be a new badical app (8mm whaaa?) or the raddest bike on the block, I like to have the coolest stuff. So when we went to the Giants game this weekend and saw some dude selling Jammypack (a fanny pack with speakers) I KNEW I needed it. I don't know if anything has been so perfectly made for me. These things bump, LOUD. Let's just say my bike rides just got a heck of a lot cooler. I mean clearly the only things my redic outfit needed was a fanny back with super bass. My only request is Giants colored Jammypacks.

Black & Orange, Black and Orange!

These people were slightly annoyed with my excitement over my new toy.

But they did go to the game with this girl...
It was a magical night and obvi the Giants won!

Jammypacks = new good luck charm.

Look of the Day: Graceland

Every once in a while I put an outfit together and then later realize its influence. I put on this skirt yesterday because all of my dresses were boring me, and this skirt seemed fun and free enough for the hot weather. Once the rest of the outfit fell into place and I pranced around twirling my skirt, it was then that I realized the outfit reminded me of Audrey Hepburn as Princess Anne in Roman Holiday. Give or take a few inches on my hemline and some exposed shoulders, all I needed was a scarf tied around my neck and you might mistake me for a runaway princess. Alright getting ahead of myself there. I'm no Kate Middleton, that princess has class and style, but at times I can't help but pretend to mimic a Princess's grace at times.

"Alright, alright look. I don't have grace, I don't want grace. I don't even say grace."
Suzanne where you AT?

A bun is about as close to pixie cut as I'll get, Princess Anne was a rebel!

LF Stores Blouse and Urban Expressions bag {oh you know just that one that Refinery 29 liked enough to include in their bag stalking post} h&m hat (similar here), Seychelles sandals and Forever 21 skirt.

I love skirts that twirl!
The breeze yesterday almost had me mimicking Marilyn Monroe yesterday, yup told you I didn't have grace.

Happy Friday!!
It's my Mom's birthday so I'll be spending it with her.
Happy birthday Mom!! I love you!

Amber's {LA Trip} Notebook: What I Wore

I love going on vacation and going out and getting dressed up. In a place like LA and staying at the Mondrian in particular I can get away with wearing things I might not be able to pull off at home. Unfortunately I'm not the best packer and really focused more on my dresses then what I was going to wear during the day. Actually I packed about 15 bikinis, because you know you can never have enough bikinis on vacation, or maybe just in life. Here are a few snapshots of my outfits.

Vanessa and I right after we checked in.
Forever 21 dress, V's is Target.

I may have been home for a couple days, but I'm still feeling like I am on vacation mode...

Amber's {LA Trip} Notebook: What I Ate

My weekend in LA was pretty much amazing. I spent my time pretending I was a celebrity and celebrating the heck out of life and of America. Anytime I go on vacation my favorite thing to do it eat, and I mean come on, what best accompanies eating? Drinking! So this past weekend I ate my way from Hollywood to Malibu and I enjoyed every bite.

One of many Coffee Dean drinks I enjoyed this weekend.
Iced Soy Vanilla Latte - No sugar added

Tuna Tartare, Lobster & Shiitake ravioli, and Mojitos from Asia De Cuba's $5 happy hour.

Ray's Stark Bar had such an amazing menu selection we almost couldn't make a descison. But we settled on a cheese platter and we also sampled the stuffed chile (un-pictured)



Bloody Mary's and some bruschetta at the Beachcomber in Malibu.


Breakfast at Urth Cafe.

Bottomless mimosas and egg white omelets topped off with some Cotton Candy.

Have I ever mentioned I'm a bit wild?

I think it may be gym time now...

Things I love: The Glitter Guide

I am about headed out the door for LA but I wanted to share a few pictures from the Glitter Guide party on Wednesday. It was a fabulous turnout and the event was perfectly sparkly. I loved how everyone came out in the glitter gear. I started the event meeting Fashion PRSF Lindsay and Jeanne From Shop Sweet Things With Jeanne before heading out to the event.

The Glitter girls had used the space behind Luna boutique to creat the perfect party space.

The sweets were as sweet as the Glitter girls!
laura and I liked the cookies best ;)

There were so many people to catch up and to meet.




Goof-balling.
