SF Urban Outfitters.

Being in San Francisco so much this summer, I would visit Urban Outfitters all the time. So much, that I started recognizing the workers. I never had the chance to go around and take pictures. So when I went this past weekend with my best friend Molly, I brought my film and digital camera with me. I'll have to post the film photos after they get developed.

The new Urban Outfitters catalog is great by the way! I love the models! Especially the boy with the septum piercing, I think that is so cool. The photographer, Yelena Yemchuk, is incredible and the location was breathtaking. And the clothes were fresh of course. :)

I'm also really excited that they had bird skull necklaces in the store! I've been searching for something like that for awhile. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I hope you enjoyed that and I hope you all are having a great day.

Love, Jenae.

Though you try to tell me that you never loved me.

Stringbean blazer, vintage Liz Claiborne dress, vintage oxfords, compass necklace from Pink Boutique, Dad's watch, and Marc by Marc Jacobs gloves.

take me along...

In August, I also went to a Fashion Buyer's Market with the owner of Armadillo Bay. She is a good family friend of ours. Her boutique is really cute and I wish I could work there. I was extremely happy when she invited me to go to the market with her to pick out things for her shop. It was on of those things that we had talked about for awhile but haven't gotten the chance to do so yet and I finally have.

It was really cool looking at all the different clothing, jewelry and other accessory lines from all the designers. All the clothes were either for Holiday 2010 or Spring 2011. Some were nit-picky about me taking photos and some where not. I noted for next time to also remember the names of the lines better so I can look them up and show them here. I did pick up some catalogs though.

Oh man, see that colourful necklace up there? So dyingly beautiful. And the ring towards the end? I was really ecstatic when I saw those, and luckily, so was the owner. So we ordered some for the store. I'm so excited to get one. :D Those clothesand the jeweled flowers that were pictured up in the near top will be in the store in early October.  I also admired those white shorts from Kersh because the flower embriodery was so lovely.

If I have some time in the near future I'll scan some of the photos form the catalogs.

Till then, hope you are having a good week.

Love, Jenae.

And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore.

Usually, I have a love/hate relationship with Forever 21. Sometimes I'll be mad at them over something really hideous they've created, something overly trendy, and a piece of clothing with terrible quality and that is poorly made. Or, my favourite, a poor execution of a designer knock-off (ahem, Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch or Miu Miu shoes). I'm usually quite disgusted with them and refuse to shop there. And then there are sometimes where you find something great. Urban Outfitters had a blouse similar to this in early spring with the Peter Pan collar and sheer back and I really wanted it! But it was already gone and I never saw it again.  Luckily, I found it in a dress, with a more beautiful colour and pattern.

Cardigan from a friend, Heritage Forever 21 dress, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, and Franco Sarto booties.

I also just adore Peter Pan collars. I also tried pulling off a of what I call, "the Carey Mulligan" with the eye makeup. Don't know her? You should! She is quite adorable!

I hope you all are having a great week! Can't wait for the weekend!

Love, Jenae.

Hello everyone! The quote above is about how it's not always the situation, it's your attitude about it. I've leanred that a bit this year. Try to think positive even though it may be hope, and give a smile to everyone you meet.

Anyway, so school is getting better. This Bay Area weather has been unbearably hot! So I've been wearing alot of dresses and skirts lately. There will be an outfit post tomorrow.

Fashion's Night Out 2010.

I've had these photos edited for a while. I was waiting to get the article I wrote on it for The Hatchet so I could link to it. But I'll just do that when it's up.

So basically, it was my first time at the Fashion's Night Out. I attended the party at Neiman Marcus. I should have been more dressed up but I know now for next year. It was cool looking at all the designer clothes and seeing all the dressed up people and models. I was also really happy to see my friend Harry Go and to pick up the new issue of 180 magazine which is outstanding by the way! I was very impressed with the new artist clothing line that they had for the Academy of Art. I definitely want one so I can rep my school proudly. :)

Next year, I will dress up more and do more party hopping. ;)

Hope you all are having a great week.

Love, Jenae.
