So nice to meet you. Can I take your picture?

YAY! I get to dress up tonight for work. No slummy cafe clothes for this girl.

Us Magpies' are hosting our space and delicious food for the Verge Center for the Arts, to help celebrate their one year anniversary in their new location!

Whoa, so leathery in my awesome Casual Corner vest from FreeStyle Clothing Exchange..

Did I ever mention that I used to work at a Casual Corner Outlet store. It was actually good for the paycheck because garments were so FUGLY, I would never buy anything. But, if this vest was there, I would buy one in teal too!

Yes , I am wearing my favorite necklace duo AGAIN! 

Hells ya! Love these pups. Gifted from my gal RQ Bella.

 I actually bought this dress new. Hanging on a clearance rack just waiting to be scooped up!

Blooper Reel! Birdie never wants me to go. Its hard to when she's so stinkin' cute!

So , I have some pretty big news. This is a little to big for me, but I am forcing myself to hurdle my frightened ass over the fear.

The fear of public speaking. Actually, the fear of people looking at me while I have nothing stimulating to say.

But, I am honored I was asked to do this, and this event is going to be way epic!

This coming Friday, the VCA is screening the film 'Bill Cunningham , New York' at the Crest Theatre.

Bill Cunningham is one of the founding god fathers of street style photography.

Bill has been biking around, and shooting  colors of vibrant people walking the streets of Manhattan for over 40 years.  I contribute to the Street Style Sacramento blog with my favorite Sacramento friend RQ Bella of the Citizen of Rosebud. Us two girls, Kari from Juniper James and Lorena Beightler of Sac Cycle Chic have been asked to follow up the film for a discussion panel.

Dude, what the hell am I going to say. I will probably forgot everything I know. But then, what do I know?

I just like to take pictures of people that have on beautiful jewelry, a funky hat, well tapered slacks or just a damn fine purse.

First hurdle to jump is to find what to wear! I got one accessory down. Oh yes, Its going to be so sweet.

But, for actually clothing , I have no idea. Of course I will stop in at C&C and check out their racks.

I hope I don't vomit on the stage.

You know you wanna go. 

Crest Theatre, Sacramento.

I'll keep you posted kittens!

Night at the Museum

 My employers asked me if I would like me to attend the 'Neo Crocker Modern Culture Party' fundraiser held for the Grand Opening of the Crocker Museum . I would be representing them, so don't get drunk and do belly flops into the crowd. Nah, why do that when I can dress up fancy and hang with some of my favorite peeps.

Belt , Necklace & Ring:Crimson and Clover

Dress: SPCA Thrift Store

Purse: Goodwill Thrift 

Shoes: Urban Outfitters (Extreme sale along with some haggling )

Isn't she absolutely beautiful. I met Pam at 'The Launch' art & fashion festival early summer .  We bonded over our deep fondness of Alexander McQueen, and the love of her Raquel Allegra dress.

 See all the beautiful bouquet of people that walked the museum that night at 

'Street Style Sacramento'.

I love this picture. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I smile every time I see it.

Janel and Ed. Owners of Magpie Cafe. The best place to eat in Sacramento if you ask me.

Thanks guys for the great night at the Neo-Crocker party!

Waking up still high and buzzing from the Neil Young concert, there was no time to be lazy and dream..A date was in motion with a very special friend of mine, Bella Q of The Citizen Rosebud.

We met up at one of our favorite vintage shops in Sacramento , Crimson & Clover (formally Atelier). Of course, I got steals of deals that day! 2 shirts , 2 belts, a hat and all under 40 bux!

I love this shop. It is so romantic and charming . The prices are insane! As Q would say "Its like they're paying us to shop here "

Spending a day shopping with Q is one of my favorite things to do. And this day seemed extra special to me.
