Eye Candy: Charlie Siem

Hey everyone! I'd like to introduce everyone to Charlie Siem, a 25 year-old classical violinist, who is extremely talented and exceptionally gorgeous! He's even cuter when you hear his British accent. ;) Who doesn't like men dressed in suits? The right suit can make a man look polished and sophisticated. And we ladies LOVE polished and sophisticated. Look good in a suit and we'll definitely date you!...Look good in a suit and an instrument, and we're head over heels!

The Royal Tour may have ended, but Kate Middleton's fashionable style is definitely a pleasing one. She is the epitome of a Princess, and is so in good grace.

Above photo: Kate wears a navy shift dress by UK-based Roland Mouret, and a blazer by Canadian label, Smythe. Manolo Blahnik pumps and a 2011 Mulberry Polly bag round out the look.

New In:

New In: Converse low tops in black. I finally bought a new pair! My old ones deteriorated a long time ago. And boy, these chucks sure last long! 

I apologize for the lack of posting this week. Been quite busy lately. This past weekend, Kali and I had a little roadtrip down to Bakersfield to visit a friend. Yes, out of all places, our friend bought a home in Bakersfield! It was super HOT!! It was good to get back to the bay area and appreciate the cool breeze. =) But nonetheless, it was great to see our friend and her new place, as well as hanging out with fellow Banana Sluggers (college buddies).

Also, please check out the jobs section of my blog! Check job postings here.

Friends Inspire: Carissa

How would you describe your sense of style?: Temperamental urban bohemian - always ready to roll around on the floor and play with paint.

What are your top favorite items in your closet?: Antique dresses I never wear for fear of ruining them ('cept for very spesh occassions when the ratio of ruining to fun takes a turn), Citizen of Humanity jeans, my Acne/Lanvin dress, my voluminous hurwundeki tapestry dress, American Apparel tie-dye snood is a daily must, and my recent best buy - vintage Dooney & Bourke mini satchel in tawny leather.

Balmain Resort 2012

Model: Kasia Struss

Balmain Resort 2012

Olivier Rousteing, 25, takes over with his first collection for Balmain hitting the Paris showroom. His Resort line-up is very much like the rock 'n' roll spirit that his former boss, Christophe Decarnin, was known for, very American/biker girl with a chill sensibility. I feel he'll have lots of great collections coming our way.

Social Media Day!

Where would we be today without Social Media?

Here's my friend, Leslie, and I at Mashable's Social Media Day celebration last weekend at House of Air SF. We had a lot of fun jumping on the trampoline. It was definitely tiresome at the end, but so worth it! There was a free Ben and Jerry's ice cream bar, Pop chips station, and The Laugh Box made some pretty cool flipbooks for us. I definitely want to go again next year!

Happy 4th of July weekend!!!

Balmain Spring 2011

Hey everyone! I am in southern California right now enjoying the nice sunny weather with some of my best friends! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Due to not having my computer and external drive, I won't be able to post up my photos till I get home. Xoxo
