Bling, Load, Mix ...

The unique personal style of the looks below are based on the More is More philosophy of dress. Completely contrary to that famous quote...of COCO CHANEL
"Once you've dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off."

The key to this look is ...mix up the patterns, add some texture, aim for the unexpected, be bold.

Leopard scarf, bracelets + watch loaded up the wrist.

It's all in the wrist action...pop of neon with a big faced watch.

Love the pop of neon and big faced watch.

Mixed Patterns, textures + bracelets speaks personal style.

Manicure Madness

1/16/2013

Gone are the days when a manicure meant just a clear coat, or non color, such as Ballet. Of course Nude + the Classic French Manicure always look right. But now there are so many more compelling options. Experiment...go a little bit MAD.

Unorthodox colors like Chartreuse are trending for Spring.

Pop of orange on your nails + hot pink on your lips. Modern color blocking for Spring 2013.

Silver, gold, metallic...nails as jewelry.

Glitter Tips is all the make-up a young beauty needs.

Nude nails, matte make-up + pastel eyes are toujours elegant.

Hand Knit, Felted + FABULOUS

12/9/2012

The Remodelista Holiday Market at the Heath Center yesterday in San Francisco was awesome. Amazing artisans selling all means of hand made, artisanal goodies that included candles, jewelry, rough linen napkins, hand knit children's sweaters and the HBG BFF Bags. Might be bias but all the uber, chic stylish women either came in with one of the HBG BFF bags or fell in love + bought one on the spot. I am so grateful. To check out more Fab woman with their HBG BFF's

Fabulous Mimi with her new HBG brown + charcoal tweed clutch.

Best friends Serena + awesome Cristine with one of her many HBG BFF Bags.

The super talented chef and cookbook writer with her hand-knit + felted delight.

Beautiful Baby, Beautiful Lady, Beautiful Bag.

Erica Tanov's POP-UP Perfection....

11/13/2012

For two magical days talented, creative, LA based designers were part of Erica Tanov's Holiday Pop-Up Shop at Larkspur Landing. A refreshing bevy of beautiful ladies passionate about their craft were there with their wares. The group included 2 jewelry designers, a knitter, 2 potters + a charming candle maker. I was smitten by all.

Delicious scented candles + whimsical linens www.lefeudeleau.com

Style sleuth Sarah Lonsdale of Remodelista.com fame admiring the linens and sporting a fabulous BFF Bag.

Hanging handmade ceramic lanterns, plant holders, vintage Kurdistan Rugs.

Handmade belts + bags by Samantha Grisdale. One clearly sees her jewelry making background. All the hardware on the belts + bags below were incredible.

Exquisite leather clutches with closures that truly are jewels.

The Queen of Minimalist Jewelry that all the fabulously cool were drooling over. www.kathleenwhitaker.com

So hard to chose! I went for the little sliver or rose gold tear drops.

Jeans + a Chanel Bag...the perfect match.

10/17/2012

The ultimate high/low...of course super long legs, a beautiful face + great hair doesn't hurt. For a price one can get all...except the long legs. That requires good jeans. And the bag even on ebay requires real dough http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=chanel+handbag.

Blue Jeans + Blue Bag

Burgundy J Brand Jeans + Black Chanel Bag

Skinny Black Jeans, Classic quilted Chanel + a sporty faux fur (I hope).

Style Tip - Sport A Hat

7/9/2012

What is the perfect accessory? A great hat. It instantly creates mystery,
and dramatically ups the sophistication quota. Not to mention being the perfect cover up for a bad hair day or protection against those aging ultraviolet rays.

Neutral Beauties Hanging Out...

What hangs best from tanned, toned arms, well a designer bag in neutral of course.

From tanned, toned legs...neutral heels of course.... There is nothing more chic than neutral accessories? At least I don't think so.
