SF Street Style: Spring in the City

Spring is in the air! Meaning park fashion at its peak. It seems like half the city is migrating to Dolores Park these days for some serious chilling out a la music, friends, a few cold bevs and maybe some Bi-Rite ice cream thrown in there. Check out the fashionable friends we found paired up and trolling the streets in and around Dolores Park on a recent weekend day:

Jaz & Erica

Spotted: Photographers on their way from work to park transition.

What is the best thing about spring in the city?

Jaz: My favorite part about spring is usually the rain…..I do enjoy bringing out the light and bright colors to wear. 

Erica: The best part of spring is the variety. Sometimes I wear one thing, but it’s easy to layer, and I can wear all of my wardrobe. 

Allison & Toni

Spotted: Heading to pick up burritos on 16th Street.

Allison wears Lush studded-neck blouse, vintage skirt, Doc Marten boots.

Toni wears Calvin Klein shirt, Levi’s jeans, Chie Mahari shoes.

Erin & Maura

 Spotted: 1970s & 1950s inspired looks trekking thru the masses en route to meet friends.

What is your favorite thing to do when it’s this hot?

Erin & Maura: We love to bring our dog to Dolores Park.

Spotted (SF Street Style): Eclectic Blue

Spotted: San Francisco blogger Punam, at the Space Gallery’s City Dolls trunk show, scoring some sweet jewelry at the Polk Street sale while donning a cream turtleneck, blue vintage sweater with cutouts and sequin detailing, black motorcycle inspired lace-front boots and chunky statement bracelets for the finishing touch.

How does this local style blogger (who writes at Nothing Broken) describe her personal style?

“Lots of vintage. Sometimes I’m dressed like a drag queen, sometimes I’m dressed like a prep, and other times I’m dressed like MC Hammer,” she tells us.

Her favorite places to shop in the city? A girl after our own hearts, she loves to peruse a combo of Goodwill, trade shows, pop-up shops, clothing-by-the-pound and anywhere that doesn’t have an official cash register.

The Do List: San Francisco Fashion Events March 7-13

The bad news? You’re gonna lose an hour of sleep this weekend. But keeping things firmly on the up and up this week are plenty of events sure to entertain San Francisco fashion fans. For that, we turn to the SF Indie Fashion Calendar. Read on for our weekly dose of trunk sales, beauty happenings, fashion shows and places to shop from independent sources:

  • On Tuesday, surround yourself in luxe local style during the Azadeh Couture trunk show and collection viewing. It’s a chance to see the local label’s refined women’s apparel and party-worthy dresses on display in a sophisticated setting.
  • Friday’s Spring into Fall Fashion Show promises locally-designed apparel and jewelry heading down the runway surrounded by the always-impressive interiors of the Bently Reserve. The cheapest tickets have already sold out, but here’s the good news: you can still buy your way into the choicest rows. Want to sit in the front row? It’ll run you $150, but take heart, as the proceeds go towards a good cause: The Coral Reef Alliance. A few of the participating designers include Amber Marie Bently, Miss G Designs, Sara Shepherd and Sequoia & Gita.
  • On Saturday, head to one of the few “fashion shows” that you might unwittingly already be a part of. Street Threads: The Show celebrates local photographer Ariel Soto’s years of capturing San Francisco street fashion. The event at Density doubles as the launch of Soto’s self-published book Street Threads, which features over 100 photographs of locals sporting noteworthy street style.

You can find details on all of these events and more happening this week on the SF Indie Fashion Calendar.

Mission Vintage: Dressed to Trespass in Anya Zuyeva

Rules were meant to be broken. The day was ending,  Mission Dolores was empty in the late afternoon sun, and I was dressed in Anya Zuyeva. A not so interesting tale of a girl in a white dress wandering around the mission accompanied with vintage jewelry collector Sasha of  Sasha Maks Vintage, turns rebellious when we decided to sneak up some steps inside the cathedral. It wasn’t allowed but we didn’t care.  So often a white dress isn’t allowed so many things. To be worn after labor day, to be paired with Chuck Taylors, to frolic in cemeteries or climb up staircases that are roped off. Somehow adorned in a myriad of vintage jewelry pieces, this white dress didn’t feel so innocent after all. Want your own? Anya tells me she has one just for you.

Earthy Comfort

Hello my friends. I think it is time for a new Look post. As I mentioned in my Sightseeing with Marc post my friend/photographer Paulina took a ton of pictures of me in different outfits. I am excited to show you the next Look she photographed. As you scroll down you’ll see some fun pictures of me on the Pilates Ball. We seriously had a ball (no pun intended) shooting those. At some point I fell of that ball and showed my naked butt to the world…. sorry you are going to miss out on those. They are pretty funny.

This outfit reminds me in a way of one of Sienna Miller looks. Frivolous and super comfortable. It just looks like you didn’t try at all. I am in love with those Michael Kors boots. I’ve had them for several years now and as most of my stuff I believe I got them on Ebay. That brown, lamb leather jacket came from Ebay as well. I feel obligated to make a confession to everyone. I am pretty obsessed with good quality leather and I love in particular lamb leather. It’s the softest leather you can get and I love how it feels. I just can’t help it.
