Paper Headdresses, Feather locks & beaded feather head pieces

All Hallow's Eve....
 Considering it's almost Turkey time and the world series has been the focus around the town, it's been interesting to try and fit in the Halloween celebrations on top of it all. But...... I think we got it down. At my house it's a treat this time of year as I bring out the famous Costume Box and every body gets a pick. From: Gypsy to Peyote Princess we've got all the bases and more covered. Check out Plymouth Plantation's finest new member below: Charlie Chief of the Sunset

Roof Top Photo Shoot
Atop the fabulous studio in the Inner Sunset we enjoyed a lovely photo shoot for our Fall Photo Collective. The sun was just stretching itself over Twin Peaks when we decided to shoot. With the most beautiful golden tones we've ever seen, this has to be one of my favorite spots/times to shoot.
Ah, yes, the peaceful golden shades of the Fall in Northern California. 
Something we must step aside and bask in as it's not just anywhere this happens.
Love your day and enjoy this glorious Fall Weather!

Welcome to Seedstore on Clement st!
 Seedstore is a wonderful shop that's like a secret capsule of one of a kind fashion finds. Sisters Cynthia&Jennifer Huie reach out to well known worldly artists that may not be your run of the mill find at the average SF Boutique. Inspirations from hard working Creatives as parents, it's in their blood to seek out the new and innovative. It must be the joy of running a boutique, you get to work with amazing artists who then, in turn help you spread the joy of wearable artwork.
 Currently they are the ONLY PLACE TO FIND the KEDS clothing brand in the whole city, and they were first to pick up Pendleton's new Portland Collection. Pretty rad if you ask me.
A little Jim Carrey in search for Swansonite which takes me back to the
high Sierras where the more stellar you are, the better.
 With tons of Men's Fashion they'll be in the running next year for best spot to pick up something classy. It's imperative to spread the joy of Men's fashion to every where else besides the Mission District. They seem to hit the nail on the head over there and so we are grateful for Seedstores innovative knowingness on this pressing matter.
 For the Boys
 A lovely Men's Jean Bar
Men's Bow ties
With some of the hottest designers (as seen here on their site)  it's a treat to shop here.
Go check them out at 212 Clement St

It has been a pleasure working with them on this spotlight and I hope we get to work together in the future maybe with the jewelry case :)
Well done everyone!

I just had to go big this fall.
 Great Fall wears need colorful accents and so I've decided that's just what's in store for the Holidays.
Amethyst, Aquamarine, Chalcedony, & Garnets
 Garnet, Labradorite and Pearl Accents 
all strung on silk & 14K Gold wire
(I love this color)
Chalcedony is one of the most wonderful stones to work with as it's color range is magnificent. Same with Jade. I love this milky grey color because it reminds me of my subconscious. The ultimate relaxation. The ultimate Nature. It's the same shades as the coastal rocks you find all throughout northern California and it's best buddies with brighter accent pieces such as the glass you see above. 
This glass circles are ancient pieces of glass that were dug up in Central Asia. They've dated back to 350 B.C and have naturally crystalized over time.
Stellar Necklace
Chrysoprase

Venture to Petaluma 
for a nice day out of town and more or less a weekend full of some essential R&R
 With rich backyards still warm from the Indian Summer you can find yourself surrounded by gorgeous greenery and a low speed dial on that watch of yours.
 (drift wood from Oregon coast)
 (feathers from Hawks and other large birds)
Yup, it's all that you'll ever need and more, minus the city. I sure do love San Francisco, for what it is as a city, and for all the wonderful gems that surround it!
This week is ADVENTURE WEEK. 
Take the time to step out of the box, get away from the routine and check out something new.
It's important to stay as far away from STALE as possible and with all of the great surrounding areas and radical happenings you just might fall in love.

In the mood for a dirty teddy and some pumpkin carving?
Ey'Ey then. On an SF hunt for the spookiest places to visit this October.
My first pit stop.... the Pumpkin Patch off of Laguna Honda aka 7th Ave
Spooky dirty teddies and some hay bails for the kids to roll around in.

Fasssssshion Recap
SF MOMA Cindy Sherman  Exhibit finally night
Thus fills up with trendies, hot heads, and other fine looking birds of a feather.
My favorite (above left) in the cuban hat and Meso Shirt. Often it's hard for a man to pull off such a beautiful garb, but this young gentleman surely knew his palette. Large wooden beads, thick leather arm band, they all looked great.
 I knew I was hot in 3rd great, glad it's back. Turns out the 1990's are clashing with contemporary 'clash pattern' (fall2012 fashion week) bringing us all back to 1993 with a vengeance.
I just can't wait until we get grunge back and put Seattle back on the fashion map.
 As much a statement piece this is, and an often times an abrupt way to look at someone, I think it's beautiful. I was in Paris and was nvited to the Swiss House for a costume party where every beautiful Swedish girl was masked in similar facial garb. Since then, I will always love the veiled look.
Absolute Go Getters! The hot body to the Left works in the SF MOMA Shop. Which, if you havn't already been to, I highly suggest bringing a friend and having a look. It's one of the best contemporary Artist book stores in the city. Plus they have a whole slew of fun gifts in the back. 
 There was a great bunch of people here having a grand old time.

SF MOMA FASHION SOIRE...

The Performances.
Compliments of Clayton Humphries Photography
 Crowding around the great performances it was a theatrical event at the SF MOMA
  crowd goes wild......
the place quickly fills up with fashionistas from all over this city. Surprisingly it seemed that they all knew each other. All these fashionable (European/Asian Inspired fashion) San Franciscan's had a blast.
 You go girl.
She was trumping around all over the stage with her leopard go go boots and bad ass theme song
Then I met this cute girl, immediately saw her shoes and wanted to talk to her. Easy conversation starter. It turned out that she made them herself... a little designer amidst us.
Fashionistas follow tomorrow... don't you worry, I haven't forgotten the beautiful people

Horseshoe Tournament with....

Horseshoe Tournament with The Tee Off Bar & Grill and Alaskan Brewing Company
YUM
 There's Paul above making the fascinating Pulled Pork Waffle Cone 
(with home made coleslaw on top)
 I must of had two of these guys all day and still wanted to take one home.
 Throwing some shoes, drinking with the rest of the guys....
approx. 30+ contestants in the Horseshoe Tournament out at the horseshoe pits in Golden Gate Park.
 Best food yet to come to the Richmond District. 
Don't be shy, go on in. Tell Paul and Crystal we sent you. You'll be happy to did.
Nothing like a Saturday Tourney with the boys. Thanks to Alaskan Brewing Company who sponsored the keg(s).... yes we ran out.... it was an amazing relaxing fun filled weekend!
