Lilly Pulitzer: Desperate Housewife Turned Design Legend

One day back in 1959, a desperate housewife took a dozen colorful dresses made by her dressmaker and set them up for sale at an orange juice stand. From this simple beginning, a legend was born. Within five years, it seemed almost every American woman was sporting one of Lilly Pulitzer’s simple sheath dresses in an eye-popping print. Lilly became a favorite at resorts and country clubs nationwide and even Jacqueline Kennedy became a fan.  And while the Lilly Pulitzer label continues to manufacture clothes today, the early vintage dresses and skirts of the 1960s and 1970s still hold a special charm.

City Style:  San Francisco’s Foreign Cinema Is Dinner and a Movie Done Right

Sunny San Francisco days call for lazy mornings, leisurely walks, and long brunches, so when the weekend finally rolls around, head over to Foreign Cinema. Tucked away in SF’s lively Mission district, the restaurant is known for the foreign and independent films shown in the outdoor courtyard, during which guests can dine and drink to their hearts’, stomachs’, and minds’ content, though brunch is equally delectable. I wandered down to the “industrial-chic” establishment a few Saturday mornings ago to see for myself, and let’s just say my go-to brunch place across from my apartment has some serious, high-ceilinged and white tableclothed competition. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for a taste of Foreign Cinema, a true serving of San Francisco City Style!

10 Hot Shades for Hot Summer Days

I just bought some awesome sunglasses that I did not include in this slideshow. I didn’t want the entire universe running out and buying them. Forgive me. But I did include 10 other favorites! I’m especially partial to big shades that make you look like an alien and edgy shades that set you apart from the crowd. And it should go without saying that aqua Ray-Ban Wayfarers are friggin’ hot sauce. And because so many of us have the ability to lose our shades the minute a summer margarita hits our lips, there’s some affordable options in here as well. So get to clicking people!

I’m not sure if it was the new prints that I received from artist Dayna Gedney - or a recent trip to the beach, but I am feeling the motion of the ocean all right these days.  Living in Northern California means that the beach on a hot sunny day carries with it a 90% chance that you’ll develop hypothermia if you dare to put a toe in the water.

10 Retro Swimsuits For Vintage Bathing Beauties

Every Mother’s Day is a special one, but for new moms, it’s full of meaning. And messes. And sleep deprivation.

A luxe baby bag or a calming bath set are perfect ways to add to her special day, and you can bet she’ll be especially appreciative of anything void of a rubber ducky. Don’t be afraid to stick to the standbys, either-- movies, iPods, and cameras carry new meanings in the hands of new moms.  Click SEE SLIDESHOW for our top 10 picks and presents for new moms this Mother’s Day.

10 Pretty Prints and Patterns By Lisa Bengtsson

It’s not often that we think of wallpaper as art, since it’s usually just the backdrop to the art, but Swedish designer Lisa Bengtsson is changing that with her collection of whimsical prints and patterns that are just too pretty to cover.  Drawn to creativity and expression as a child, her background in advertising only added to her desire to work in graphic design.  The inspiration for her work comes from people-- the way they live now, the way they used to live, and the behaviors and memories that make them who they are.  It’s this sense of past and present combined that gives her work such a unique, imaginative flair.

5 Sweaters That Bring Vintage Beaded Bliss

I just adore beaded sweaters and have acquired quite a collection through the years. You can wear them all the time - not just fancy occasions or evenings out. Try pairing one with jeans and flats for a casual yet pulled-together weekend look, or casually throw one over your shoulders to ward off the air conditioning chill at the office. And since the best vintage sweaters are made of cashmere or lambswool rather than acrylic, be sure to store your gem properly to keep those pesky moths at bay. If you’re not the type to purchase archival boxes, at the very least, protect your sweaters in a zippered pillow cover. Now click SEE SLIDESHOW for five fabulous vintage finds!

Slideshow Special: Indie Design Expert’s Favorite Hive Finds!

I was thrilled to tiny bits when Stylehive approached me to be a guest blogger. I spend a lot of time hiving independent design finds – but to included in the Stylehive bloggeratti, well isn’t that just “golden!” So to celebrate, I’ve got some gorgeous golden finds. Now of course, these items aren’t solid gold….we are, after all, talking about independent designers, and in some cases it’s more of a hint of gold. For me, independent design is about creative flair and entrepreneurial spirit. It’s about work that is fabulously designed, beautifully crafted, but also concerned with environmental and social issues. Not in a lecturing way, but rather an “I know I don’t NEED another top, but its organic bamboo and I should really show my support of independent designers” kind of way.

Today, of course, the little black dress is a staple in pretty much every female’s wardrobe. And in honor of Earth Day this past Tuesday, why not make your next little black dress green?

Seeing as Moscow’s known for its ultra-energetic nightlife, you’ve come to the right city, but you won’t be in the right place until you hit up Fabrique.  Between the super slick interiors, international DJs playing the best club music in Moscow, and a cozy-chic V.I.P. room, Fabrique is definitely the place to be when you’re in the mood to party with 1,500 beautiful people - no kidding here, watch out for face control, or maybe wait until the jetlag passes.

10 Fresh Eco-Friendly Finds Make Every Day Earth Day

Wasn’t Earth Day grand? There are so many easy ways to help the environment in your daily life, such as installing energy-efficient light bulbs, reading the newspaper online, recycling, using cloth napkins, plugging your appliances into power strips, and buying earth-friendly clothes. The last one is especially painless these days because buying dresses made from hemp or organic cotton doesn’t make you a patchouli-soaked hippie anymore. Everyone from Stella McCartney to H&M is offering apparel that has less of an impact on the environment, so it’s time to start shopping, but please donate your old clothes so someone else can enjoy them. Click the SLIDESHOW to get started!
