Suede Persuasion

Did I do a good job persuading you to add some suede to your summer attire in yesterday’s post, Suede is where it’s at!? If you’re not sold on the idea yet, then hear me out. Maybe you don’t live in a moderate climate like San Francisco and suede pants during the warm months are out of the question…still buy ’em but save them for the fall. Get your suede “fix” with a cute fringe skirt!     Who would have thought that a maxi length fringe skirt could be so versatile? When I scooped this baby up from Rode’o Boutique a few years ago, I was hoping to get at least two wears out of it. Let me tell you something, I’ve worn this skirt so many times, so many ways, with so many shoes, and every time I wear it, the compliments never stop. I apologize in advance that this exact piece is unavailable, but the good news is, similar items are hitting the shelves at your favorite stores and online retailers, and I have linked to them below. Anyway, being the first time rocking this fringey thing in SF, I simply paired it with a black off the […]

Suede is where it’s at!

It used to be said that you should save your suede for the winter months. I distinctly remember back-to-school shopping, close to 20 years ago, and being told that the suede Mary Jane shoes “weren’t appropriate” for the fall season. Well, one of the things I love the most about fashion in this era is that you make the rules! For the most part, anything goes. So whether you decide to wear white pants all year round, or break out some suede in the middle of the summer, go for it! Know that you’ve got KK and GG’s approval…     Just like I mentioned in the post “Bell Bottoms: They’re baaack!,” if you haven’t yet noticed these retro bottoms making a comeback, consider this your warning! When I spotted the I’d Suede So Taupe Flare Pants on the lulu*s website, I was ecstatic. I think it is pretty obvious by now that I cannot resist a comfortable pair of pants, but a wide-leg suede bell bottom takes my pant obsession to a whole new level. These pull-on hot pants are constructed out of spandex microfiber suede. As comfortable and lightweight as they come, if you enjoy rocking a hip hugging […]

Happy Fry Day!

There are few things in life that I love just as much as fashion. One of which is a crispy and salty delight! If you haven’t already guessed from the title of this post, it’s good ol’ french fries. I could eat them with every meal. When I found this Fry Day graphic tee on shein.com, it had KK and GG all over it!     You’ve already heard my schpiel about food items and how they’re trending in the industry, but seriously, how GREAT is this t-shirt?! The perfect addition to your dress down “Fry Day” ensemble. I love how it can go casual with shorts or fancy with long black jeans. Going for an edgy look, I paired it with distressed denim, yellow patent leather pumps, and a rhinestone necklace. Next time, I may swap out the pants for vegan leather shorts, and polish things off with a cape.   After a week of showcasing apparel from SheIn, the verdict is in: SheIn is officially KK and GG approved!   Shop this Post: Top | Jeans (similar) | Shoes (SALE ALERT!) | Necklace     Thanks to GG, no french fries were wasted in the making of this […]

Sombre the Right Way

When it comes to your luscious locks, you have the right to be protective of ’em. Let’s get real, your hair says a lot about your sense of style, and it shapes your face! So when it comes to finding a trustworthy hair stylist, do your research! Whether this is dropping by to check out the salon, reading reviews, or perusing through before and afters on Instagram, it’s worth the effort. I must admit I did all of the above when I first arrived to SF a couple of years ago. If you’re new to the city or ready for a change, call your search off and go see Kristin at the Red Chair Salon!     Conveniently located in the middle of fashionista haven, aka Union Street, this gem is perfect if you are looking for a high end full service salon. Kristin, owner and stylist, is always bubbly and ready to listen! If there is such thing as a hair psychic, I’ve found your girl. More often times than not, Kristin knows exactly what I’m looking for in my new do, before I even know what I am looking for in my new do! A year and a […]

Fashion, Wish List Wednesday

Wish List Wedneday: Little Black Dresses

Because every fashionista needs a little black dress in her life, on this Wish List Wednesday I would like to share with you my current favs.   First impressions can be deceiving, and the Best is Yet to Come Black Backless Dress does a good job demonstrating this. From the front this LBD appears simple and classic with the highlight being the cape sleeves. Stun the crown from behind, when you step out in this backless beauty.     The Gypsy Queen Lace Dress is as good at it sounds. Whimsical yet steamy, rock this thing for a date night out, or tone it down a notch for a daytime festival. Think platform sandals and a floppy hat.     The Midnight Stroll Dress is simply perfection! Not too short, not too long, just the right length and fit for a variety of happy occasions. Featuring ruffles down the bodice and a strappy back, look good from all angles while wearing this number.     The Satyra Black Bardot Skater Dress is definitely a head turner. There’s something about that fit and flare silhouette…flattering for every body shape and the off-the-shoulder neckline is flat out hot. Throw your hair in a sock […]
