Heritage Row with Jenny

Chestnut Street, San Francisco CA
Owner Jenny France
The Classic Chic boutique, Heritage Row, offers us much appeal on Chestnut. You will find clothing and apparel, shoes and accessories, jewelry and other decorations... but there's something different about it. There's something that separates Heritage Row from the other boutiques. 
Owner Jenny France is an experienced buyer and stylist and had finally been able to
 fulfill her dream of opening up her own retail location when this storefront
 space became available in 2010. Her Husband helps with all the design
 (on the website) and her family all helped to build the store up to what it is today!
Heritage Row offers up to the minute fashions for those on the move as well as locals looking for something nice. It's one thing to offer up your own personal style, blah, but it's important to understand the flow of ever changing fashion across the globe. And Jenny does this, she is a stylist, she's got the talent to and know how to determine how long one should hold onto to those old penny loafers..... (even though they are coming back this summer) 
Working around the clock, she infuses her glow into her store collections. She also runs the Blog and completes her worldly tasks of promoting her pieces online for all to see.
You will find yourself intrigued as there is an amazing upstairs changing room and additional discounted fashions. It's definitely got the leg room to let your mind breathe and take a whisk through her beautiful store. Sometimes you just need to kick back and breeze through a well lit room.... with possible items for you to purchase.
I just loved it because she has things I've never seen before. And as I am very big on unique one of a kind  color pieces, as you can see above in the skirt, I feel that it's important to live artistically. Color infusions are important, but not in the masses. Heritage Row has some really amazing pieces that evoke the luminous glow that I, as a young blossoming girl, do in fact desire.
We had some help from a Petite Stylist. He was surprisingly helpful. Out with his Mum he helped me get some ideas of his favorite dresses. And to be honest, he was dead on. 
He was patient and fun, those are the best qualities to have.
Jenny was darling. You can see her vaguely above in the beautiful blur of the back ground above. 
She said she would fly back to Hawaii if you gave her a plane ticket tomorrow. Turns out she had just gotten back. I agree with that answer as you can't go wrong with good old Hawaii
Check them out on Chestnut St.
You'll be glad you did.
Thanks Jenny!

The girl who carries her own shoes.....
Happy to have my love Heather for a small stint of time here in the city. 
I introduced her to the obligations of the dream, and showed her
 what it was exactly that a DAILY SAN FRANCISCAN is.
She clearly fits the profile and as my favorite model she worked it like a charm.
Thank you Heather for being my friend and showing the world how special we can be.

Artist Spotlight....

by Bradley Davidowitz 
L.A based designer
 We were cordially invited into the One Grey Day show room in Studio City, CA.
This was a remarkable town with big ideas hiding behind every doorway. 
 This particular doorway brought us into the show room of Bradley Davidowitz of One Grey Day.
 An L.A based clothing company that creates earthly inspired looks for women year round.
In the words of the Artist:
"We have positioned one grey day to be a knitwear focused brand. We offer a full range of fully fashioned knitwear in every category ranging from fine gauge pullovers & cardigans to sweater weight outwear & accessories. There are many brands out there offering knitwear in their product mix but one grey day’s niche is to present purely innovative yet extremely marketable year round knitwear. Our vision for modern simplicity boasts wearable creativity.  We are based in Los Angeles but feel our aesthetic can translate beyond the west coast. one grey day has the relaxed and casual feel of Los Angeles laced with the modern edge of New York."

 As fun as it was to see what the show room had to offer, we were please to know that we could try some things on and take as many photos as we liked. The clothing you see above is tailored to a contemporary beat that pays close attention to the fine details on the curves.
The clothing itself was gloriously tailored fabric that was oh so
 soft to the touch and wrapped around Heather's body like James Dean's glove
 As she chose her favorite pullover I took her photo on the back deck. There was a cool breeze which made this beautiful wrap sweater the idea piece for a girl looking for some cover.
Thank you again ONE GREY DAY. 
What an amazing show room and what beautiful work you do.
Please see their website and look book for more in detail of what's coming up next!
