What to Wear Daily: Alexander McQueen Dress

(All photos by Vy)

This is one of the coolest purchases I made this year and it will be something I will be wearing a lot this summer.  Its made out of jersey and it's really heavy (I mean it's yards and yards of fabric) but it's so well made and it could look so casual at the same time in a pair of flats.  The best part about this dress is the fact that the sleeves are attached to the dress, so it's this huge half circle almost (I know that's a bad description... lol).  It's almost like I'm a bat if I lift my arms.

I wore this to dinner with Vy at Coco500 in SOMA.  We went to Bourbon and Branch afterward (a regular spot for me) and then we got home in a limo.  I don't know how it ended like that... but it was a pretty epic night.

There was this couple next to us that were in their mid 40s, that were obviously on their first date.  The woman was a decently dressed woman, you can tell she was getting out of touch with fashion because of her age though.  The male was the same, but he was wearing what looked like a Jimmy Buffett Hawaiian shirt.  We were sitting insanely close to them, I mean I could hear everything!  The quote of the month was when she asked him:

W: So... describe yourself in 3 words...

M: (Leans in close to woman with a serious face) Rock N Roll!

Oh my goodness... we tried so HARD not to laugh.  Seriously... that was so EPIC!  I was sitting at the end of the restaurant that had a mirror next to me and the woman could totally see the reflection.  Is that what men really do?  Geez... because that just sucks.  It hurts to know that there are men that age that are like that out there.

The Cage Boot

Damn you Barney's for selling out... and Net-A-Porter for never carrying my size in the first place.  I needed you to be my birthday shoes I got this year.  I guess I will stick with the 3 dresses I bought instead. Some of the best purchases I made this year.  You'll see it in a post soon! (Honestly, I've been laptopless for 2 months now!)

Anyways... I'm working on a fun project with a good friend.  I'm really excited about it.  I'll hopefully post some fun info during the process... maybe even a video (if Vy doesn't mind doing that, lol).

What to Wear Daily: Hot April Nights

(Free People wrap top, Rogan for Target jumper, GAP brown belt, Marc Jacobs shoes, Missoni bag, Fedora from Vy)

Is it me or the weather just seems bizarre? It's been so hot here in California the last few days. I was glad to get back home to SF on Monday night from Beverly Hills. It was even worse there. I'll do a post soon of what I got down there. Geez... I hope it rains soon.

Yesterday, Vy and I went out for a cold beer. Our old apartments don't come with proper cooling units. Haha.

Free Access: Fleet Foxes @ The Fillmore

Going to the show:

(Rick Owens jacket, Diesel dark blue jeans, Maison Martin Margiela nail boots)

There is always a first time for everything.

Vy got free tickets to see the sold out Fleet Foxes show at The Fillmore. We were really excited about it too. Since all shows normally run late, we decided to show up around 10:15pm. About 15 seconds later, while we were pushing through the large crowd, their whole set was over. How awful is that?!

When we got to the show:

Leaving the show:

This is how we roll: The view of my window on Easter

Is this really how every Easter is suppose to be? Lol.

I fucken love where I live.

What I Want: Margiela Cowboy boots S09

(Style.com)

I always feel like anything that Jane posts will be sold out from Barneys. I wanted to post these boots a while back when I saw them. I have been searching for the perfect cowboy boot for years. Dior did a pair many fall seasons ago, which I can no longer find them. Yet, I can't help but still look. The heel is high enough (a little less than 3 inches) and it's a beautiful color. I wanted a pair of cowboy boots with a heel because they are so comfortable. All of Margiela's stuff is so comfy. These will be mine soon enough.

Deja Runway: Shoulders- CDG vs. D&G

(Comme des Garcons Fall 04 vs. Dolce & Gabbana Fall 09 from style.com)

When I saw Dolce & Gabbana's verison of this jacket, I immediately thought of this piece I own from 2004. Who do you think did it better?

Shoe Collection: Chanel slip ons

I use to collect Vans and Converse All Stars all the time. The more limited the better. Since I started to dip into designer shoes more, I saw Karl Lagerfeld make a pair of shoes like the vans slip on. I wanted these so badly!

So, I brought my mom out shopping in SF for the first time (since we lived here when I was 4) and took her into the Chanel Boutique on Maiden Lane. She almost passed out because of how much I spent on a pair of sneakers. I normally don't tell my mom how much I spend on things, but it was the last pair. So I had to have them.
