Boot Wisdom.

No matter how much anyone tries to eliminate boots out of their summer looks, it seems almost impossible! Boots have become kind of like an asthmatics inhaler, a necessary essential! For me, boots are my version of the women's heels. I never really wear sneakers, sneakers are my equivalent to women's "flats". I only wear sneakers when working out at the gym. That's pretty much the only place they should be worn. As a boot addict I wanted to share with you GUYS a few of my favorite stores both online and here in San Francisco. When shopping online, Its usually Bergdorf (since I don't live in NYC). Boot shopping here in San Fran is usually at Gimme Shoes, The Archive, or Shoe Biz. GREAT STORES that you guys should check out. And for all my UK readers, you should should check out Brantano.com they have a great range of boots both formal and street. My favorite is the Orchard Bruno ankle boot, check them out!!

It's EARTH WEEK! That means I'm sporting some of my thrift store finds from last Friday this week!! Every time I step foot into a thrift store I always find something pretty cool and trendy. For example, the closer we get to summer the bigger the American flag print gets and Its everywhere, EVEN AT A THRIFT STORE! I found this shirt and I made it spring appropriate by transforming it into a tank top. Since this week is earth week I advise you all to TRY going green. Go thrifting! Its the easiest and funnest way of "being green". 

  

Thinking Face. . .

As you may know (if you follow me on Twitter) I was planing a shoot to take place on this past Friday but sadly the location was under construction which totally sucked because, I was all dressed up and ready to shoot. SO NOW I'M THINKING (in this picture that I took of my thinking/inspired face lol), "Where can I reshoot but still have the similar background I wanted?". I came to NO conclusion but I'll figure it out. Anyways, that didn't kill my day. . . it didn't. I went thrift store hunting around the area and found this cool shirt! It says, "Califuckinfornia". I'll shoot it for you guys sometime this week. Ta-Da!! 

Gaultier for San Francisco.

Yesterday I spent my day soaking up inspiration at the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the de Young museum here in San Francisco. They're a few designers that have the ability to fully translate the artistic visions they see in their heads into clothing that does justice to the integrity of their original designs, and one of those is Gaultier! The entire exhibition was captivating and dream-like with vivid visuals that came to life with the technological use of overhead projector that turned a lifeless mannequin in to an individual by giving them a talking, moving face.  The whole time I was there I was so excited and amused by the complexity of the garments. The exhibition is at the de Young until August 19. If you are planing to visit San Francisco anytime soon I recommend you guys come see it! Buy your tickets HERE.

Back revisiting the dark colors of winter for spring. Even though the flowers are blooming and the grass is getting greener, IT IS STILL WINTER COLD here in San Francisco. Totally appropriate for todays event... Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the de Young museum! I had such a blast you guys! IT WAS INSANE. INSANE! Every inch of the building was filled with crazy dreams that were expressed through the intricate designs of one of the most inspirational dreamers of all time!!!  I'll have the pictures for you guys of my journey in the world of Gaultier tomorrow. STAY ON PROWL. Winkkk - Winnkk.
