Painter Song, Norah Jones
I'm part of a project called "A Woman Who" which is a video series highlighting women who are making their mark in fashion, art, music and basically anything in the creative world. We shot the video about a month ago at
Sawyer Camp Trail and the background of Crystals Springs was so scenic, it literally looked like a
Bob Ross painting- one of my favorite TV shows growing up. There are a bunch of talented women involved and am very excited to see the final product. It may be awhile for them to complete it but till then here's a still shot.

Been waiting for an opportunity to wear this dress and it was perfect for Tomiko's baby shower which was held at
Love Joy's Tea Room in the city. A few months ago we took tea at
Crown & Crumpet for
Rachael's shower and both places are the right ambiance to gather your girls and enjoy scones, tasty teas and sandwiches. I really like the concept of celebrating parties at a tea room since it sets such a fun mood and reminds me of being very playful and feminine-- two of the five words I would describe myself as.. the other 3? I will get back to you on. Anyway, here's a close up of my hair color.. I don't even know what I look like with my natural hair color full on but if I played make believe, this is how I'd want it to be all the time. My hair tends to get brassy real easily so to get it this ashy makes me a happy camper. (The tips are a tad lighter since they were previously blonde but from a distance it looks likeone color and I feel a lot more sophisticated with it.. Very fitting for the fall!
Had an awesome day and watched
50/50 which is currently one of my favorite movies out right now. Sounds weird but one of my favorite things to do in the whole entire world is to watch movies matinee-- solo! I know it's borderline creepy but I love it and another thing I love most is my girlfriends. They're a part of my life that just feels solid and I couldn't be more grateful for all of them. We had dinner and learned that I am probably the most slowest eater on the planet and I also decided to let go of my signature peace sign necklace among a few other things. Just felt in need for a change which reminds me-- I also parted with my ombre hair color and am so in love with the ashy brown I'm rocking. Went back to my old hairstylist
Sunshine-- so if you're in the Bay and are looking for a new look, she is your go to girl-- 408.307.3111!
Oh, and I've been meaning to introduce you all to a good friend of mine. He's a very talented musician and designer and has been such a big inspiration in my life.
Alex is responsible for a few videos from
my YouTube and
his channel is so impressive I'm sure you'll enjoy his music. Lot's of changes and think I had a good run for a last day before fall backwards. The weather is cold outside and it's beginning to feel more and more like Christmas which is very exciting. Anyway, here's to a sweet November and my last few months of being 27!
We danced the night away to
Tiesto at Ruby Skye for the actual Halloween day. I swear, I can't believe I was able to muster up the energy for a big weekend, but then again this is also my favorite holiday of the year. This party was soooo much fun, I seriously felt like I could've been in Vegas-- and that says a lot considering I think the nightlife in SF isn't happening. Anyway, this was also the first year I didn't celebrate with my girlfriends, though I must admit matching with a dude is a lot more fun-- especially since we were penguins (Alex is obsessed with penguins). We used baseball shirts and made the back portion all black so it looked more legit. Used yellow socks and turned them into legwarmers, created penguin feet with foam paper and again the fun hats I found from LF. Surprised how much material I was able to use from only two stores for all the outfits!
