Sweater Weather

Callina SweaterAh yes! My hair is still an interesting shade of blue, but we are at the final countdown! Just four more days until I go back to blonde + will hopefully look and feel normal! The blue hair journey has been long, not fun + has taught me to never mess with my hair again! Come Thursday I will have a normal shade of blonde hair + I promise to NEVER EVER dye my hair an unnatural color again!

In other news, my sassy hair color has forced me to stick to neutral colors when styling a look (to avoid looking like a clown). This has left me with maybe 25% of my closet to work with, so I was oh-so pleased to have the opportunity to style this sweater thanks to Callina. Not only is this sweater the perfect shade of charcoal grey (to offset the weirdo color of my hair) it also made of 100% baby alpaca organic fibers + feels like pure luxury. The Callina story is strong + they run their business + design production with integrity, so I am a fan. Check out their 1st collection here + take advantage of a MAJOR 50% off discount with the code: katwalk50.

DTLA + LA Market

IMG_9498I spent the last two days in downtown Los Angeles buying for the summer collection for Les Méchantes. This was our second trip to LA to buy and this trip was perfectly short + sweet.

We stayed at the fabulous Ace Hotel just blocks away from the Cooper Building. The Ace has some amazing amenities + a fabulous restaurant, but some very interesting rooms. The Ace was just blocks away from everywhere we needed to be, so as we walked around downtown LA and really took in the scene.

Since my hair is still multiple unfortunate shades of blue I kept the shots of me to a minimum!

The artwork at the Ace Hotel restaurant, L.A. Chapter was nothing short of perfection.

The Tourist

KatWalkSF 16 Comments

IMG_9450This past weekend I found myself acting + looking like a tourist.

Maybe it was the ever present baseball hat that made me look + feel like a tourist, but hey the road back to blonde has some bumps and my weave is currently a nasty shade of blue that is not fit for the camera. It looks like I need 2 more weeks of dish soup to get my hair back to blonde in a healthy fashion, so until then I will be styling every hat, turban and scarf in my closet to cover my head!

Aside from the hat I also found myself participating in tourist activities! The Golden Gate Bridge was closed this weekend and this forced me to take a ferry to Marin (something I have never done). While I go to the Ferry Building all the time for fancy foods, I never go to the Ferry Building to actually get on a ferry!

So I jumped on a ferry bright + early Saturday morning, hangover and Health-Ade kombucha in hand!

IMG_9398My Friday night UPS delivery consisted of these gems. Not only are they fantastic and maybe (?) Benji approved…they are also on sale and an additional 40% off from our friends at J. Crew and the perfect shoe for some site seeing!

Fringe Benefits

KatWalkSF 26 Comments

IMG_9325Last night Rebecca Minkoff (finally) opened her first San Francisco retail location +  all of San Francisco was there to celebrate!

I threw this outfit together in a rush + could also not be more excited to announce that this REALLY is my last blue hair post! I have an appointment at 3pm today + have been spending a lot of time with Dawn (yes the dish soap) stripping my hair to prepare for its transformation back to blonde. While the blue hair was fun while it lasted, it has been a BITCH to style + clashes with pretty much anything colorful in my wardrobe. I have really had to keep things neutral to compliment my royal blue weave, so this JOA fringe top was an easy choice for last nights event. I scored it during the Piperlime after Christmas mega-sale + thought that even though it was a neutral color, it still had just the right amount of sass!

Studio 54 Glam

KatWalkSF 21 Comments

IMG_9197I had zero intentions of channeling Studio 54 last Saturday, but a new fur from Boohoo + a new do from David at Salon A7 pushed me into a major 70s glam moment. This shaggy faux fur coat from my friends at Boohoo was the perfect piece to battle the chilly San Francisco weather + channel my best Bianca Jagger.

This look also notes the end of my blue hair chapter + the start of my journey back to blonde. The coming weeks will be filled with fun times stripping my hair of this oh-so blue color + washing my hair with dawn, yes dish soap! The blue hair was fun for a while but I think I am ready to go to my brunette blonde roots!
