Vintage Moss

Kate in the 90s; whimsical, wild, beautiful, and always undressed.

Double Your Zippers, Double Your Fun

The zipper skirt of Fall has been doubled. Sophomore NYC s/s 09 line. Photos from San Francisco's Acrimony.

French Kiss

I loooove French macarons and ones like in Paris are hard to find in the U.S. Thus, I have begun a macaron search in the Bay Area.

I have found that Bay Breads on Filmore in San Francisco is overrated, but maybe I just got there too late in the day; Miette bakery in the Ferry building has scrumptious macarons (except for the grapefruit flavor...not good, not grapefruity at all) without the color (saddening), and Masse's in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto has excellent colored (yes!) macarons in chocolate, lemon, strawberry, and pistachio. Masse's also has amazing fruit mousse and is not snooty or trendy place.

The above photo is faux Pierre Hermé macaron trinkets that came with Japanese Lipton iced "tea". Why does this stuff not exist here? I don't think I could keep one of those fake macarons with me without being tempted to eat it...forgetting that it is painted plastic.

Infamous

"Wild" Pierre Hardy heels on sale a couple months ago at Barney's, but still not affordable for most/me...long ties above the ankle get me.

Leigh Lezark

Ex-MisShapes DJ Miss Lezark has got style. I can't say I've always admired her style or attitude wise...not that I know her or have even met her -- just not into flocks of sceney hipsters...but I have a new appreciation for her now.

I am all for more female DJs in this country. Girls, if you love music and wanna DJ, get into it, because more estrogen is needed in the DJ world...other than in lesbian clubs (not trying to hate, OK; although, it's the case here in the Bay Area).

I'm watching a documentary on composer Phillip Glass that is pretty cool if you like Phillip Glass or want to see how a mad composer works -- and if you don't know his work, just search it and listen to the pure genius, you should not be disappointed.
