3 Things.

Incredible artwork by Serge Gay Jr. at the Gauntlet Gallery

 It's not often I find myself spending the weekend soley in San Francisco. Between family, birthdays, babies and all other life details most weekends we have a reason to escape the city noise. But not this weekend. Instead we completely embraced the city attending a late night gallery opening, tried dinner somewhere new, ventured around the city streets of SOMA and even met my mom for a special little brunch spot in San Francisco. 

Ziggy and his best friend, Aaron

Lovely little brunch with the Gilt Groupe team at The Cavalier.

Green Day.

Even though I was feeling about as green as the grounds around me, I just had to snap a picture of me blending into the foliage. My mom picked it up this dress from a boutique in Los Gatos years ago and had almost forgotten about it until I came across it the other day. I just love finding those little treasures hidden in the back of your closet and styling new life in them.

Wrinkle Remover.

No, I'm not talking botox. Not this time at least. See my Grandma's best kept secret - wrinkle remover for your clothes that really works.

Real Love.

A few months ago I had the pleasure of attending the Shades of Summer soiree with my dear friend, Val. While there I had the opportunities to meet the lovely ladies from ThirdLove, an online lingerie company based out of San Francisco. Now you may be thinking to yourself, ordering bras online is next to impossible if you want a proper fit. It's hard enough to determine sizing on your own and it can be so awkward being fitted by a stranger. 

Well that's where the ThirdLove genius comes into play. Simply download the ThirdLove app your smartphone and find a full length mirror and grab a slim fitting tank - that's all you need! ThirdLove's unique measurement technology allows you to determine accurate fit (even within a half cup size) from the convenience of your home.

In just a few days, I'm hooked. Never have I been this comfortable and felt better in the clothes that I wear. I've got real love for ThirdLove.

Classic Black + White.

It's been a minute since I've purchased any new shoes. Feels a little out of character, but these tootsies have been cozy in my favorite boots and booties for the Winter. Now that it's feeling like Spring (and a little like Summer), I'm ready for something new. And these classic cuties are exactly what was needed.

Pure Love.

Ever find a dress that makes you feel like a million bucks, even if it's just the simplest little number? This dress makes me feel just that way. 

Little Black Bootie.

Spent Saturday evening with my guy perusing each aisle at DSW and walked out with these cuties. Perfect date.

Red Carpet Red.

Burberry dress / Dsquared2 red cardigan / Carven short sleeve shirt / TIBI red shirt / James Lakeland coat, $465 / Valentino short skirt / Helmut Lang legging / Valentino slingback pumps, $2,810 / Yves Saint Laurent clutch / Mulberry leather bracelet / Pomellato earrings, $2,000

The color red dominated the Golden Globes red carpet in a variety of shades from an eye catching crimson to a sexy Merlot. Let's face it, red is difficult enough to wear much less on a clashing red carpet, but Lupita Nyong'o's Ralph Lauren dress has inspired me to give red another chance. Because when done right, it's flawless. 

Unzipped

I'm a huge lover of New York street style. To me, it's wherefashion comes together and I always leave feeling inspired. During my last trip for work I visited a client in her showroom and quickly noticed all of the girls wearing similar style boots - short, black with buckles or grommets or zipper (or all of them at once). I was particular drawn to the overall look because it was an interesting compliment to the designers California modern inspired collection. Ever since I've been on the hunt for a pair of my very own. When I came across these J. Litvack boots, I knew I had found my perfect pair. 

Everything.

All I want for Christmas is you.

Fall Flat.

Chanel 1920s shoes / Bionda Castana oxford shoes / Charlotte Olympia cat flat shoes / Versace leather flat / 3.1 Phillip Lim leopard print shoes, $660 / Zara black moccasin / ASOS pointy flat / Carvela Kurt Geiger patent leather shoes, $64

I'm a firm believer, a girl can never have too many pairs of flats, especially living in a city with so many hills. Here are a few options I'm currently weighing to add to my collection. Love.

Warm Winter.

Perfect winter booties. Want. Need. Must Have.

Plaid Habit.

Marc by Marc Jacobs dress / FAUSTO PUGLISI colorful tank top / BA SH flight jacket / Harvey Faircloth plaid shorts / Pleated tartan skirt / Joie navy flat / Sperry Top Sider tote shopper / J Crew tartan plaid scarve

A pop of plaid is high on my radar right now. I'm loving a touch of tartan for the holidays.

Quilted Quality.

Alexander McQueen short dress / 3 1 Phillip Lim t shirt / J Crew red vest / Balmain pants / Jason Wu skirt / Marc Jacobs black boots / Chanel red handbag / Echo Design red glove

Quilted leather always reminds of iconic Chanel, but I'm loving other designers takes on the chic design. I especially have my eye on adding a quilted leather skirt to my own personal collection in the very near future....

White Out.

Alice Olivia short dress / Topshop white top / Chloé lined jacket / DKNY white pants, $540 / Topshop skirt / Topshop white boots / Rebecca minkoff handbag / White rabbit hat, $92

Even though we have fully transitioned into Fall, I'm still obsessing all white everything looks. So fresh and clean, I just can't get enough.

Currently Camo.

Edith A. Miller long sleeve mini dress / OBEY Clothing camo sweatshirt, $96 / Topshop khaki jacket / Ivan Grundahl skirt / AR SRPLS cotton pants / Manolo Blahnik camo pumps / Henri Bendel camouflage purse / Sunglasses, $93 / Lucky brand

What goes around, comes back around. Camouflage is back with a ton of cool, new options as the edgy pattern is being created in chic, feminine silhouettes. Love.

Hanging On.

This, over angel hair pasta, freshly grated Parmesan cheese and dash of ground pepper is simple, yet divine. Clearly, I'm hanging on to the final tastes of Summer as it begins to turn into Fall in San Francisco.

Pretty In Pink.

3.1 Phillip Lim red turtleneck / RED Valentino coat / RED Valentino pink coat / MaxMara coat, $995 / Ted Baker coat / Coast coat, $245 / Topshop coat, $140 / River Island jacket, $55

An absolute must purchase for Fall is the pink coat. And with so many shades and silhouettes to choose from, it's the perfect lady-like classic that is easily incorporated into almost any wardrobe.

Time for Tartan.

Sleeveless dress, $71 / STELLA McCARTNEY top, $605 / STELLA McCARTNEY wool coat, $3,220 / McQ by Alexander McQueen wool zip jacket / Green tartan skirt, $355 / Topshop plaid trousers / Converse red trainer, $285 / Barbour plaid shawl, $42

Dear Fall, 

If this is what I have to look forward to, I'm ready. Bring it on.

Love, Jessica

Jem.

A hologram clutch is the perfect way to add some dimension to an otherwise basic look. 

Instantly in love.
