Moda Epidemic’s French Kiss


Bookmark and Share

Local style blogger Moda Epidemic gets inspired by all things French.

This outfit is definitely a little French like but not really on purpose. I just threw it together without thinking this could be a French inspiration. I think that my beret makes it look French and only if you believe in stereotypes. I am wearing here Anthropologie baggy pants that are the most comfortable thing in the world and they actually look really sexy with heels. I have been over skinny pants recently and I’ve been wearing lots of pleated loose trousers. The look is overall pretty casual and I’d probably wear this outfit to work. One of my favorite colors is purple and I just adore these flats I got on ModCloth. There is just one problem with them. They are a little small on me. I have to stop buying shoes online because my shoe size ranges anywhere from 7 to 8 depending on the brand and I end up doing a lot shoe exchanging which can be a hassle. I have to mention my little sparkly purse. I bought it long time ago and we are inseparable. It matches almost everything and it fits the most important things like cell phone, lip gloss and driver’s license. Thanks again Paulina for taking these pictures of me.

Here is a collage of similar items I am wearing in pictures. I created it on Polyvore.

Runway Fun: Art Institute’s Fashion Metamorphosis

fashion-metamorphosis-6_09

Catch the locally-made fashions of Art Institute of California students and revel in the runway experience on Saturday night during the Fashion Metamorphosis show.

For more details and what local semi-celeb you’ll see on the runway, check out Lorraine’s post about the event on the 7×7 Glamwatch blog (because regurgitation is for the birds – at least, that’s our new motto).

A few preview pics we received from the show’s organizers (It’s v. important to note that these were taken during an informal fitting session, meaning no hair and make-up. You’ve got to hit the show to see them in all their glory!)

3 Things We Love At Alice and Isa

aliceandisa-logo

It’s no surprise we’re eagerly anticipating the launch of online boutique Alice and Isa, which officially opens for business tomorrow (though there’s a party tonight at Modern Relics where you can meet many of the local designers the shop is carrying).

For the party info and background on the online destination for independent San Francisco designers, check out Lorraine’s post on the shop that appeared on 7×7‘s Glamwatch blog this week: Two-Faced and Lovin’ It: Alice and Isa Boutique Launches.

A little additional background that didn’t make it into that post:

- Founder Dawn Miller used to be a stylist for legal professionals, but ending up working with more style-hungry wives-of-lawyers than actual suits. And so began her foray into the more artistic, free-spirited side of fashion….

- Founder Stephanie has designed her own handbags (though they aren’t sold in the store) and brings the designer mindset to the project.

- Dawn told us when we spoke that, “We feel that people kind of look down on San Francisco design….We want to show New York and L.A. that great design is happening here, but you just need to know where to look.”*

We like how diverse the store’s offerings are – much like the city itself. Here are three items we love that show the breadth of the site’s style parameters:

49 Square Miles Big Mouth Hobo

SF Indie Fashion Video: Boys in Aussie Bum (and Not Much Else)

Boys in itty bitty bathing suits? That’s what strutted down the runway during the Aussie Bum segment at Charity Fashion Show last weekend. Note to self: attend more fashion events featuring Australian men’s swimwear lines.

Yes, teensy swimming togs are frightening on the vast majority of the populous (be sure to ask us some time about our accidental visit to an all-German beach in Spain – now that’s a place to spot scarring men’s bathing suits if ever there was one), but we can handle it just fine when cute boys and runways are involved.

P.S. One of the models gets a little overzealous with his end-of-runway posing somewhere around minute three. Consider it your Tuesday afternoon show-and-tell courtesy of us. With shows like Daisy of Love on television these days, it’s comparatively pretty tame. But it was pretty hilarious to see live…
