Cuyana Summer Accessories

Cuyana hat and sweater c/o, Proenza Schouler shoes, Aritzia dress, Dior sunglasses

When you live in the city, you just know that even through a 90 degree heatwave, when the sun dips down it's going to feel like you're in the Arctic. Which is why ALWAYS having a sweater is key. And always having a big fluffy, comfy, chic one is essential. I absolutely live in this Cuyana alpaca sweater. I take it everywhere from brunch to sitting in the movies to hanging out at Ocean beach. The other best thing, it pairs perfectly with Cuyana's summer wide brim hat. SF Summer's best outfit.

We Be Beachin'

Forever 21 bomber jacket, Triangl bikini, Guess shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses

I never in a million years thought that my favorite beach outfit would include a pleather bikini, sheer bomber jacket and tall lucite heels. This outfit is not made for walking and is only relegated to lounging at the pool...and looking cute the three steps it takes to get to the bar to show off those legs. But in the words of Big Daddy Kane, "pimpin' ain't easy." 

Getting Coached

While on the island of Maui, enjoy the sun, the beach, the loco mocos, fish tacos and wearing your hoochie resort wear. Beware of Wanas (sea urchins) in the water and old misogynistic white men, who calls themselves "Coach" trying to sell you a timeshare. That's a warning I never thought I'd have to give. And yes, we went to a timeshare presentation because I am not above drinking soda, having a bad continental breakfast while listening to a timeshare presentation for 90 minutes if it's going to get me free drinks, dinner and a surf lesson later. It turns out, I got also got a tall order of man-splanations of what a fashion blogger is added to my entree. First, Coach--you can't call yourself a Coach if you're not actually coaching anybody. Second, when you ask me what I do for a living and because I'm in a crop top and I say I'm a fashion blogger and you don't understand what that means you SHOULD NOT say "oh, so you're a stay at home mom". Third, when I respond with "no, I'm a fashion blogger" DO NOT continue to diminish me and my passion/chosen profession by saying again "you being a stay at home mom is a job". Yes, it is Coach, but I didn't tell you I was a stay at home mom, I told you that I was a fashion blogger. I know, to you, it sounds bullshit, but if you're trying to sell me some timeshares, maybe you should keep that thought on the inside, you know? So you don't offend anyone, so you can sell more timeshares. Other acceptable responses could have been: "Cool! What is that? Lets look at some timeshares!" or "Great! lets look at some timeshares!" or "Lets just look at some timeshares!" And none of those responses should end with "I was just wondering how you make your paper." Why? Because if I don't make the paper doing this, then I'm back to being a stay at home mom because that's the only value I have in this world?

FYI Coach, I'm a fashion blogger, and bringing fashion to the world is a gift I'm giving. Also, I'm an attorney AND a mom. So suck it. Also, I'm not buying yo' timeshares and I took two sodas. #CoachToNoOne #CoachNeedsCoaching #ImTheNewCoach

San Francisco Ballet: An Invitation to Dance

House of Harlow dress, Asos jacket, Stuart Weitzman shoes, Ray-Ban sunglasses, Svelte Metals cuffs

Living in the city of San Francisco has more perks than just awesome pressed juices, coffees and ramen. It's also a hub for artists of all kinds. This year, I get the honor of attending a performance by the SF Ballet School entitled An Invitation To Dance.  The School is one of the leading schools in the world for ballet and I'm proud to support the student showcase which raises funds for scholarships and financial aid for the students. This day in age, it's more important than ever to support that and empower those that make this world beautiful: art, artistry, and young artists. You can still bUy tickets to the performance here. And here's a preview of my dinner ensemble: in all stars to celebrate future all-stars.
