Neon & Grey

Sometimes I'll discover a pair of shoes that inexplicably inspires me. These Sam Edelman leather beauties do not belong to me (yet), but nonetheless I decided to style a few outfits around them.

Water & Wine

Our weekend started with a long hike down the coast in Santa Cruz, and it finished with wine and good friends in San Francisco. Some snapshots from our recent adventures:

A brave little crab

Someone had thoughtfully surrounded this mama bird and her nest with sticks so she would be protected on the busy beach.

 

 

In San Fran we wined and dined with a few ladies that mean a whole lot to us.

Sisters we will always be!

 

If you are visiting San Francisco and looking for a solid dinner spot, get yourself to Beretta.

 

For dessert, you must order the Panne Gelato with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Sea Salt. I know it sounds strange, but I swear it's a treat sent down from Mount Olympus!

Contempo Antebellum

I had never heard of Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko; but after discovering her Spring/Summer 2013 couture line, I can now say that I will be checking up on her seasonally. Ulyana is uly-awesome!

From her collections, you can deduce that (like myself) Ulyana appreciates period style and costume. Her S/S couture work for this year cleverly combines a contemporary breeziness with Antebellum grace and historic Southern charm. Her pieces celebrate structure and textile without feeling weighed down.

From Ulyana Sergeenko's Spring/Summer '13 Haute Couture lookbook - enjoy! :

 

I can almost hear Rhett Butler exclaiming, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."

 

 

What do you think of Ulyana's couture line?
