The Fringe Dress of the Year

Fringe and faux suede are two of my favorite trends this season! Now take a suede LBD and add some fringe and what you get is PERFECTION! Leave it to Current Clothing to carry such an item. There are many features that make this dress desirable, one of which is the flattering silhouette. Shift dresses are my favorite because they are forgiving – comfortably flaunt your figure in one of these. The princess seams provide a complimentary shape, and the plunging neckline and keyhole back add just enough flavor to the conservative black design. On to the fringe sleeves…gotta love ’em! Not only do they transform the look entirely, but they add movement! When you’re working with a fab piece, the last thing you want to do is accessorize too much. For that reason, I simply rocked a pair of vintage Miriam Haskell earrings and classic nude pumps. If you have an event on the books, and you’re looking for a trendy dress, this is it! For $68 be the hit of the party. Call Nancy at Current Clothing (415)400-5517 and ask her to ship you this little number. Don’t forget to tell her that KK […]

Fashion, Outfit of the Day

Printed Shift Dress

Every fashionista could use a shift dress in her life, and with the fall season quickly approaching, there is no better garment out there to stock up on. Pair a shift with your favorite sleeveless outerwear and a pair of fringe booties, or dress it up with pumps for a night on the town. Leave it to Target to carry an adorable printed shift dress for less than $30! Brought to you by xhilaration™, this sleeveless number features a multicolored geometric pattern, against a black background. A flattering cut for daytime or evening wear, and the keyhole back offers a sweet feminine touch. On this trendy Tuesday, I styled this piece for happy hour. Pulling one prominent color, yellow, from the busy pattern, I made it pop even more by accessorizing with similar hues. Finally, for a nice contrast, I polished off the look with my favorite orange clutch by Urban Expressions. Will you be shifting up your fall attire with this hot commodity?! A note about the shoes…yellow pumps are more versatile than you’d ever imagine. Better yet, this exact style is currently on sale for $39! Get ’em while you can, from DSW Designer Shoe […]

Bodycon Midi Dress

“Simple is beautiful.” This is certainly the case when it comes to this green bodycon midi dress! While I often find myself collecting statement pieces, it is just as important to add simple garments to your wardrobe. A reliable knit dress can go a long way, especially when it is a solid color like so. Layer up with a longline vest or a sleeveless sweater, or hang a scarf around your neck and throw on your favorite hat. Think of it as a blank canvas – the simpler the dress, the easier it is to accessorize with. Still swooning over my Southwestern printed shooties, I figured they would add just enough of a funk element to this otherwise plain ensemble. Between the shoes, a multicolored clutch, and a rhinestone necklace, I think it did just the trick! Purchase this dress for $15.90 and use it as a your foundation to layer as we slowly but surely transition into fall apparel.

Travel, What to Bring, What to do/eat

24 Hours in San Francisco the KK and GG Way

8:30 am: Arrive at Holmes Bakehouse. Prepare to wait in line approximately 30 minutes for a cruffin. That’s right, a decadent croissant muffin stuffed with pudding confection is called a “cruffin.” It’s worth the wait and if you’re lucky, it’ll be a salted caramel day. They sell out by 9:15 – be punctual. 9:30 am: Head North on foot or Uber towards the bay to pick up a bike from “New Holiday Adventure Sale & Rentals.” It’s a dry cleaner with bike rentals at a rock bottom price. Nothing fancy here but you won’t find a better deal. Put a dent in your sugar high with a bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge! Morning Alternative: Pick up a coffee and off to prison you go! Alcatraz aka “The Rock,” known for housing famed criminals such as Al Capone and the “Bird Man,” is one of the most traveled National Parks in America. Take the audio tour as you walk through jail cells and spooky courtyards. Buy your tickets early and you won’t regret it. 12:00 pm: Arrive in Sausalito totally rejuvenated. Leave your bike with valet – it’s worth the five bucks and hit […]
