Don’t Miss: Style Lounge
Head east on Friday night for the latest Style Lounge, taking place across the Bay at the Oakland Museum of California. Along with shopping from participating vendors and makeovers by the SF Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology, the event features a 10 p.m. fashion show from designers Revelation by M.E., K. Antoinette Collection, Oaklandish, O’Lover Hats, Helena de Natalio, Mama’s Little Babies, Andrea Wysocki, Versa Jewelry, Funky and Fabulous and Hearts Desire Jewelry.
And unlike many local shopping events aimed squarely at those of us on shopping missions, this one offers plenty to entertain your less-than-fashion-obsessed cohorts (and that’s always a bonus when you’re trying to round up the troops for a Friday night adventure). Along with the fashion show and shopping components, Style Lounge also includes a kids’ zone by the Chabot Space & Science Center, eight stages of live music, film screenings, a tattoo art exhibition, cocktail and food vendors and an official after party for attendees at the Uptown Nightclub.
Be one of the first to arrive on Friday, and you’ll receive a free tote bag from Oakland Unwrapped and a copy of Ready Made magazine. For details, check out the Style Lounge Facebook fan page.

Four Way: Revelation By M.E. Christine Dress
What can we say? We’re on a wear-it-more-ways-than-one kick this week that can’t be stopped. First, we mentioned Sofie Olgaard’s versatile spring dress. Next, we highlighted new looks from Please Dress Up, whose Infinite Possibilities collection features a series of pieces that can be worn in a slew of different configurations.
Today, we’re turning our switch-it-up style spotlight on up-and-coming label Revelation by M.E., a San Francisco-based line launched earlier this year by FIDM graduates Myrda Monasterial and Eloisa Serrano.
For their spring-summer 2009 debut collection, the design duo offers up form-fitting dresses that are ready to part-ay any night of the week, but can be worn in at least four ways (you know, in case you don’t have time to run home to change in between engagements).
We had the chance to stop by a recent photo shoot at SoMa’s Barber Lounge to check out the line and view designs from the forthcoming fall collection, which features even more moving pieces that can be worn in multiple ways to create different looks. We’re excited to see what’s next for this local San Francisco design team.
Want to get your hands on Revelation by M.E.’s spring-summer collection? It arrives at San Francisco boutiques Mingle and Union B next month.

A Letter from Leo

In the interest of posting more random tidbits (a sort of vacation revelation prompted by my friend Neeti while I was enjoying not one, but two Carib last weekend), here’s what I found in my towering pile of mail when I returned home from the islands at 1 a.m. last night. It seems that Leo is trying to once again start up our pen pal relationship. He is making it sort of difficult though, because, um, where’s the return address? But it’s nice to know he’s thinking of me, right?
