Studio 54 at the Beach: When Diane met Andy

KatWalkSF Leave a Comment

DVF has always been a Designer I Love  and when I spotted her 2008 Resort and 2009 pre-Spring swimwear collection at Bloomingdales featuring Andy Warhol’s prints, I nearly lost my mind and maxed out my Bloomies card. This coverup has been a staple in my closet for several years and when it came time to pack for Mexico this was a must.-5

“Andy’s Pop colours and iconic images feel glamorous and right for the beach,” Diane von Furstenberg.

A Big Sur Time Out

IMG_0456After the trip of a lifetime to Ixtapa, Mexico with the girls (more looks to come), I kept the vacation mentality going and hopped in the car with Ash and DLo to Big Sur. The drive was so quick and easy from San Francisco and after a quick stop at A. W. Shucks in Carmel for oysters, we were in Big Sur in nearly two hours flat.

We called the Ventana Inn home for one glorious night. This hotel is nestled along a hill overlooking the glorious Pacific Ocean. The decor in our room was literally to die for, along with the most amazing panoramic scenic views from our very own deck. Even though my bum ankle stopped me from taking advantage of the guided hikes, yoga and the Japanese baths provided by the hotel, I did take a time out alone to enjoy the hammock!

A Margherita/Margarita Celebration

KatWalkSF Leave a Comment

This week has been filled with tons of reasons to celebrate. The first being Gena’s wedding and the reason we are all at this fabulous resort in Mexico. The second is the birthday of Margherita Missoni (2/21) heiress to Missoni (a major Designer I Love) and the final reason to celebrate this week was National Margarita Day (2/22) and the just phenomenal margarita making class we took yesterday (more to come).

So in honor of Margherita’s birthday I present to you my new favorite missoni pareo…IMG_0336

Oh, Mexico. It sounds so simple I just got to go.

IMG_0320As much as I love your song Mr. James Taylor, getting to Mexico is far from simple. It took me 2 airplanes, 5 wheelchairs, 1 mobility van and an entourage that could fill a suburban to get here. Traveling with one functioning leg sucks, but Mexico my friends does not. After a long day of traveling I arrived with 95% of the HBC + the sisters to celebrate Gena’s upcoming marriage and to enjoy some fun in the sun!

So the travel day was well worth it! This is my room and even though it took three of the Capella Hotel’s finest to get me up here it was well worth it!
