The State of G

Les.Mechantes.wittke-93What exactly is the State of G?

The State of G’s mission is to design and source staple apparel pieces to serve as a foundation to any wardrobe; while educating and providing all of the information a consumer needs to make a logical and informed purchase they will be proud of.

Insert ‘The Perfect Poplin Shirt’ I am sporting today and we’ve for the State of G! I am extra picky when it comes to a white poplin, people. A classic white woven is a timeless piece and staple in every women’s closet. For this look, I paired it with a ladytie + coated skinny jeans to create a simple look for fall.

The Silk Peplum Dress of My Dreams

KatWalkSF Lambilloutte

Finding the PERFECT dress is not easy. I am a curvy lady with a strong appetite…so I am not the ideal fit model. Silk is normally not a fabric I am drawn to due to the lack of stretch in the fabric -> insert awkward bunching at my hips, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that this silk peplum dress by Lambillotte is the dress of my dreams!

Lambillotte is a sister owned/designed women’s boutique line of dresses and separates. Each season is a concept driven collection of 25+ pieces, curated from natural fibers. Lambillotte is: classic silhouettes infused with color and print, clean lines, and femininity.  All Lambillotte garments are designed and produced in the USA. Check out their other dresses (currently stocked at Les Méchantes) here + here .

Labor Day Rules

Carolina K Dress, Goorin Bros Hat , KatWalkSFIn my opinion, all the after Labor Day rules are bullshit! In fact just to show how I really feel I may wear white jeans for the rest of this week!

While I did not shoot this killer dress today (shocker), I would still rock this dress easily for the next month. This dress has all the amazing details and the buttons down the middle allow for you to adjust the dress to show all the leg or no leg…I clearly opted for all the leg!

Friday Forecast: Carwash Pleats

Carwash Pleats - KatWalkSF

Summer is almost officially over, so I guess it is time to pack up the bikinis + break out all the fall fashion!

Carwash pleats hit almost every designer runway and have been included in all the fall fashion trend roundups! The new way to show off your legs this season will be through these pleats…and I like it. I can’t wait to style a carwash pleated skirt with chunky knits, slim fitting turtlenecks and booties!
