girls nite out + derek lam and 10 crosby

last nite my fashionista besties and i had the pleasure of attending a spring trunkshow for Derek Lam’s new line 10 Crosby by Derek Lam at the gorgeous McMullen boutique in Oakland. i donned a floral print dress by 10 Crosby (of course) paired with my bow kitten heels by Valentino and my “eyes see you” bag by Alexa Chung for Madewell.

i was so thrilled to meet Tracy Lee, Derek Lam’s sister (!) and West Coast sales director as she chatted with guests. i mean who wouldn’t love to have a brother as a major fashion designer?!?! i was also style stalking Tracy’s 10 Crosby jacket with leather sleeves but alas I resisted the temptation to splurge 🙂

check out some pics from last nite’s fun event (thanks McMullen!) including yummy mini cupcakes from James and the Giant Cupcake.

craving carven

i love all things french so it’s not surprising that carven is one of my coveted designers (along with isabel marant, maje, sandro, chanel, celine and the list goes on…) the style is quintessentially Parisian – and this lemon colored jacket is my favorite piece from the summer 2012 collection. for more looks, go here!

Obsessed with Marni for H&M collection

Since the Marni at H&M collection was released, I’ve been so obsessed with my new purchases from the collection that I’ve tried to incorporate at least one item in my wardrobe these days. Take a peek at some of my outfit pairings from the last few days!

New Marni for H&M for me!

it was certainly marni madness for me last week! my friend and i braved the chilly SF weather and lined up the night before to secure our hands on the amazing marni for h&m collection. and it paid off — enjoy the experience via my instagram photos!
