Verrieres & Sako Private Trunk Show

Last Sunday a friend of mine hosted a private trunk show at her place and myself & my fashionable girlfriends enjoyed a day of relaxed shopping in a private & personal setting while sipping our bellinis. It was a trunk show for Verrieres & Sako, an emerging hot local SF designer, whose designs made it to San Francisco Chronicle’s best dressed women of opening night galas for ballet, opera and symphony 3 years in a row. Owner and designer Stephanie Verrieres was there and that made this fun event much more special. Her designs are modern, feminine and easy to wear. Trunk show pieces included sexy cocktail dresses with ruching details, sheath dresses that you can dress up or down, fitted wool jackets, silk blouses and pants, long silk coats and many more chic pieces with a color palette of mostly neutrals and red. We definitely found some nice pieces for ourselves to take home and it was a fabulous experience. Now I plan to host one at my place, will definitely keep you posted!

Sara and I bought the same silk coat in different colors, will be perfect to wear over our gala gowns and cocktail dresses, actually I really liked it with jeans as well.

Whiteout - Spring'12 RTW

Fall made its way here with rain, colder weather and shorter days and I don’t think that many of us are in the mood for some white! I should correct it specifically to “white clothes”, because I was in the mood for a lot of white while decorating my new house recently. (Perhaps that is another topic but I’d love to write about my experience and share some pictures on another post).

Spring’12 RTW, white, ohh yess! I was going to mention this palette cleanser, which symbolizes purity, minimalism, elegance, lightness and simplicity had been used by many designers in their spring 12 collections. It was one of the trends of spring’12 as always, (if you won’t wear white in warmer seasons when will you) but personally I enjoy using this neutral color more and more. Also this spring season silhouettes being very ladylike, gentle and sweet, the white color complements the purpose perfectly.

I picked my favorite whites and pearly pales. And if you are curious of other big trends of spring’12, they are; ruffles, florals & futuristic prints, acid brights, sporty-chic looks, suits, peplums, high shine metallics, lots of embellishments, fringes and mesh.

Enjoy!
