Alexa Chung-SF Shop Girl's "IT" Girl of 2012!

Sunday, December 30, 2012

I thought it would be apropos to end the year, with a feature on my personal fashion inspiration and the Style Award winner at the British Fashion Awards for 2012, Alexa Chung.  I started blogging in 2010, mainly because I was so enamored with Alexa's effortless style, incomparable beauty, and 'I don't give a f**k', attitude towards fashion.  Let the haters hate.  She's parlayed her status as an "icon" into lucrative partnership deals with such notable brands as: Acne, Maje and Madewell, as well as a coveted contributing editor position at British Vogue.  She's incredibly savvy, seeing herself as a marketable brand, and not jeopardizing that by getting into trouble or being seen out with the "wrong" people.   I celebrate her celebrity, because she's influential without being pretentious and is self-depricating, authentic and isn't a slave to trends.  Let's face it...I wish I were her!  All kidding aside...SHE ROCKS!



TGIF-Let's Hit The Streets in Brooklyn!

Friday, December 21, 2012


Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the unofficial "hipster" capital of the world, attracts a certain subculture, including artistic influencers and technological entrepreneurs.  Brooklyn's fashion aesthetic can be surmised as a mixture of bohemian, punk and grunge, representative of the inhabitants, who are experimental, creative and supportive of community driven endeavors.  If you plan on visiting this bustling borough, be sure to stop by Cloth, Saffron, Stem,  The Brooklyn Flea, &  Dossier for inspiring independent finds.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend & turn up the volume to hear the song accompanied by the slideshow!
