MET Gala 2016 - Manus x Machina

The first Monday in May is always a big night for fashion. And we can simply refer the Met Gala as the Oscars of fashion. This years theme was  "Manus x Machina" and it meant to explore fashion in the age of technology. The dress code memo was futuristic and innovative and seems like many attendees got it right. Silver metallics, white, black and even latex ruled the red carpet with lots of sparkle, beads and cut outs. The flawless make ups with dark lips and sleek hair complemented the high tech and modern looks. I have too many favorites but I tried to narrow it down :)

The Art of Fashion - Jason Wu

It has been sooo long since I did a blog post! I had big changes in my life that requires all my time right now, like having a baby! It is the hardest and most demanding thing that I have ever done but my sweet Atlas is all worth it! He is the best thing ever happened to me..
Anyways between changing diapers and feeding my baby I could get away for a little bit for an amazing fashion event and fundraiser in SF last week! SF Opera Guild & Neiman Marcus hosted an event with the famous designer Jason Wu ( his name got really big after designing for the First Lady Michelle Obama) and we saw his Fall'13 collection again in the same set up as he showed at NYFW followed by an after party. All the fashionable SF ladies competed each other on fabulous designer outfits and on the live auction that had items sold for $10,000 including seats at the next Jason Wu fashion show at NYFW! Big big congrats to my friend Melissa Boxer who was one of the co-chairs of this fabulous event!
After the wonderful night of fashion & socializing I was ready to run back home to my sweet 2 months old baby boy!
Enjoy my pictures from that night!

SF Opera Opening Night 2012

I could finally sit down and write a blog post after months of craziness. Believe me I have all the good excuses including my pregnancy (I still can't believe that either but 24 weeks as of today :) ), work changes and travel.. I am happy and healthy, I guess that matters the most at the end..

Anyways I wanted to share some pictures from the glamorous Opera opening night that took place in SF in early September! It was little challenging for me to pick a gown this year after gaining some weight because of my pregnancy but I found the right dress at the end and felt beautiful in it! 

As usual it was a night of high fashion, glam and opera with a very romantic setting.. Attending these events reminds me that fairy tales exist..

Enjoy some pictures from the beautiful night. Pictures are from Drew Altizer photography!
