Fall Feelings

Love the fall "suit" that can be worn with fur.

 Here are several examples of my absolute favourite looks this fall, the slouchy men's coat and the soft pale pinks and the muted greys.

Fallspirations

 This fall I'm seeing a lot of material mixes.  I love the juxtaposition of fur (faux or otherwise) and the army jacket.  Plus rocking boot and a demure handbag, make this outfit not only fun to look at but fun to wear too.
 While this look might at first glance seem a little bland the beauty is in the details and the understated elegance.  Love the ballet pink pumps and the cobalt blue purse.  They give this otherwise simple business casual look a bit of flare.  (That pink is going to be everywhere)
The shapes created here are really doing it for me. That long coat is to die for.  And the looser cut is very reminiscent of the 40's. Love the nod to men's wear happening in the soft and feminine palette.  


 Crop tops are everywhere right now.  And I like the playfulness of this sweater version.  Tartan pants and chunky shoes give this an updated 90's vibe.  Perfect, for before the weather turns.  And that sweater will transition to winter if worn over a fitted dress or a long sheath.
Here's another casually chic look this season, featuring the same silhouette of relaxed, but form fitted elegance.  The slouchy sweater jacket paired with the fitted jeans and narrow boots takes this look above and beyond.  And so comfy too! Plus love the hair.  



 I'm very into the Kardashians these days! Look out for a new art series coming to the blog this fall called Kardashians with takeout salads.  But I digress, here's Kim and Khloe rocking the seasons most beautiful neutral - PINK!  Khloe's hair is perfection, while Kim's is taking me a while to get used to.  But that skirt and the coat and dress below are Gorg!

Giants, World Series Champions 2010 - FACT



The New York Times article says it all about the celebrations in San Francisco...

As the occasional whiff of marijuana wafted through the air on a surprisingly warm, sunny day, the ecstatic crowd welcomed Hall of Famers like Mays and Willie McCovey, and politicians like Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mayor Gavin Newsom, before the players were introduced.

Wish I were there.

Maybe i should write for the Times


I have been writing a lot lately about my boyfriend Brian Wilson. (The Giants closer, not the singer, or amazing song by The Barenaked Ladies.) And apparently the Times has been reading the blog cause they're all over it. The article even goes so far as to suggest the Wilson's interviews boarder on the performance art. Hello, that's why we're dating. We might not share religious sentiments but to prove that we couldn't be anymore perfect together here is the article's closing quote from Brian himself.

“I’d like to be a crossword clue one day,” he said. “I want to be in The New York Times’s Sunday edition. Right now, the clue ‘Giants great’ is always Mel Ott. I want my clue to be down, not across. The down ones are usually harder. And when I’m the clue, I’ll fill it in — just that one — and frame it.

“How sweet would that be?”

And by the way

"All the best guys play for the Giants. FACT!"

Grady Sizemore teabags




Another reason to love Baseball. Cleveland Indian Grady Sizemore's personal photos were leaked online this week. I could go for tea.

Congrats Timmy

God I miss The San Francisco Giants. I was so upset they didn't make the playoffs this year, mostly because if they had I would have gotten to watch a few games. But I am still glad to hear that Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young award. Way to go!

Giants, Dodgers best rivalry of all times

Check out this article. Forbes recently wrote an article about the best sports rivalries in history. And despite the obvious rivalry of the Yankees and Red Sox, Forbes chose the Giants and Dodgers as the best baseball rivalry. As a life long Giants fan, who used to attend 20 plus games a season when I lived in San Francisco, I can remember the intensity of Giants/Dodgers series. And I remember that that rivalry solidified my love of baseball, and sports more generally. Go Giants Go.

B-Sox do it again

Last night I was a baseball cliche. I was watching game five of the ALCS, and the the seventh inning I was pretty confident that the Rays had opened it up and that they had the game all sown up. Of course that is just the kind of attitude that will jinx a team, and as I shut the TV off thinking the game was over. Well you can imagine my surprise today when I woke up and the spots headline of the Star was, Red Sox late game upset. Well I nearly cried. So they head back to Tampa Bay for game six on Saturday. Come on Rays don't let them trample your achievements. Take em down at home.

I couldn't find a highlight reel of last nights game by itself, so you will just have to ignore the local sports wrap in the above video.
