calivintage in marie claire!

October 24, 2012 13 Comments

i’m in the november issue of marie claire magazine! they were in town a few weeks back shooting street style for the magazine, and snapped a photo of me on a particularly chilly afternoon in san francisco. i knew that i might make it into the feature, but i was definitely blown-away when i flipped through the pages and saw myself on the page! and it was awesome to see so many of my fellow fashionable sf ladies gracing the pages as well. i know our fair city doesn’t always end up on the best-dressed list, but i think we all look pretty damn good if i do say so myself!

and if you’re curious what i’m wearing: carven pinafore from resort 2012, vintage cream silk blouse, j.w. hulme mini legacy bag, vintage black patent salvatore ferragamo vara pumps, ralph lauren wool pea coat, ysl rouge pur lipstick in le rouge

pop up

on friday night, i hosted my first ever pop up shop at pretty penny vintage boutique in oakland, ca. the event was a huge success and i am so thankful to everyone who showed up in support and shopped both my collection and the wonderful racks of goodies at pretty penny. it was a hard decision for me to decide what to do with the massive amounts of vintage clothing that i’d been collecting over the years, especially because it’s such a personal thing. i knew i wanted them to go to good homes, and i knew that i wanted to support local business, and out of that desire, this pop up shop was born.

i tried to snap some photos of the event before i started sipping on wine, and only wish that i had gotten even more photos of all the lovely people who came in and out the doors that night. it was such a pleasant experience that i almost want to go out and source more vintage to have another event! but i won’t get ahead of myself just yet…

if you’re in the bay area and weren’t able to make it out on friday, you can still swing by the shop where many of my pieces are still up for sale (i actually brought in some more gems the next morning!)

a calivintage pop up shop!

October 8, 2012 11 Comments

today i am so excited to finally be announcing my pop up shop at pretty penny boutique this friday in oakland! i’ve literally been planning to have this event for months, so i’m so happy that it’s finally come together. as some of you may know, my bedroom had been taken over by an entire rack and multiple bags filled with vintage treasures that i can no longer keep. my teeny tiny apartment can no longer support my vintage hoarding habit, so i’ve teamed up with my favorite local boutique to get this stuff out of my hands and on the racks for your shopping pleasure. in addition to my own personal vintage collection, pretty penny is already filled with tons of vintage wares for men and women, and my parter brendan will also be showing a collection of his artwork with affordable prints for sale. i’ve already explicitly asked him to paint silly cats and flowers for the event. and there may or may not be free tote bags featuring the art seen above, and of course there will also be free beverages to enjoy.

it’s going to be a wonderful time, so if you’re in the bay area, i really hope you can make the time to come out and enjoy drinks and good company with us this friday! you can r.s.v.p. here if you’d like, but it’s open to the public, so come one, come all!

hosting the lulu*s style studio!

October 2, 2012 5 Comments

as promised, i have a bunch of photos from the lulu*s style studio event in phoenix! the evening was tons of fun and a total success! lulu*s set up at monorchid gallery complete with a pop-up shop, booths from a bunch of great sponsors, and the ‘spin it to win it’ wheel where attendees got to spin the wheel for a chance to win sweet lulu*s swag. i hosted a styling event in which i picked out a group of girls from the crowd and challenged them to each style a head-to-toe look. they were all so adorable that we let each of them walk away with one item that they were wearing and one lucky gal got to keep her entire look! then my co-host for the evening, mara of m loves m, gave a presentation featuring her favorite fall trends.

it was such a pleasure to meet mara and all of the fashionable bloggers of phoenix! everyone i met was so genuine, down-to-earth, and just wonderful to be around. in fact, thanks to the wonders of the internet, i was actually able to meet up with chelsea of tea talk and lauren of phoenix, je t’aime (pictured above) to do a little bit of exploring in the neighborhood. we stopped in at butter toast vintage where i picked up two adorable dresses and cute ’60s shoes on the cheap (see proof here and here). it was a really fun experience and the saddest part was that my trip was so short! i’m already trying to plan another trip to check out all of the awesome vintage and thrifting and to visit my mom in tucson, so hopefully i’ll be seeing arizona again very soon!

thanks lulu*s girls!

calivintage on sweden’s next top model!

October 2, 2012 28 Comments

another project that i’ve been waiting to share for months on end is my guest appearance on sweden’s next top model! this was filmed last winter at a vintage shop in los angeles and aired this past season on tv3 in sweden. i knew that it had aired, but hadn’t seen the episode until a few days ago when my sleuthing aunt and sister tracked it down on youtube. i have to admit, i was really worried about how it would come out because i was deathly sick with a very bad cold on the day this was filmed, and could barely form a complete sentence after all the medicine i took, but i think it came out pretty cute all said and done.

since the video is a bit long and it’s mostly in swedish, you can fast-forward to my segment at about the 3:15 mark. they were kind enough to speak english for my part, but i have no idea what is being said in the rest of it. maybe one of my kind swedish readers can offer up a translation!?

a huge thank you to the people at acne production for making this possible, and here’s to more fun video adventures!
