{blue satin sashes}

Completely fell in love with this photograph of Jen Gotch's whirlwind trip to Vegas -- the lacy strapless dress with blue satin sash and matching shoes are just perfect and très romantic.

Carla Bruni was said to have worn a sleeveless, knee-length Hermès dress with a 10 cm-wide marine blue ribbon for her wedding to French President Nicolas Sarkozy. {Unfortunately, since no photographers or press were allowed at the "secret" ceremony, we may never see the dress, but Carla was described as ravishing by Francois Lebel, the mayor of the 8th district of Paris, who officiated their marriage.}

Above, the image that began my love for white dresses with blue satin sashes, Sarah Humphreys, from the final issue of Blueprint {January/February 2008}.

{Thanks to Kathryn of Snippet & Ink, for sending along the last three photos.}

Love the warm, time-worn look of these vintage wooden bowls . . .

Summer - Spring Mix

Loving the outfit. Definitely a nice ‘going out to meet at the café’, kind of look.

A bicycle when you need it–Bicycle Rentals

If your city has a bicycle share program you already know where to get a bicycle.

If not, then Bicycle Rentals are perfect way to get mobile for the day. These being the private enterprises they are, expect a fairly good offering of bicycle styles and choices.

I’m starting with some here in San Francisco. I will happily be adding more places as I go along.

Leah at More Ways to Waste Time attended a press preview for the 2008 San Francisco Decorator Showcase recently and returned with some great photographs, including a stunning silver-leafed ceiling adorned with silk butterflies by Candace Barnes {detail shot below}.

A pefectly sophisticated office by Matthew Leverone that reminded me of Chris Miller's office space . . .

And a wonderful, wonderful portrait in a guest suite by Owen Design, that would have fit in perfectly with this collection.

Fashion Art Book

Here are some Paintings out of my Fashion Art book. Oh yeah, I'm also new to this blog stuff, so some of the images are cropped and and they shouldn't be.... not sure why.
