LANDS END

This weekend we hiked out to where the land ends at the ocean and it was beautiful. Take the hike on San Francisco's coast for yourself here. Taken with Instagram @rosiedargenzio

TRUE LOVE

We have long admired the work of NYC jeweler Philip Crangi. From his use of materials to the style of the man himself, it has been quite a love affair. The Selby recently shot our boy (above), check out the rest of the photos for yourself here.

KEN KEN RAMEN

My new fave restaurant in San Francisco. Ramen, done exceptionally well in a great space. 

OUTSIDE LANDS WAS A BLAST!

The dome...this is where we got weird! 

Golden Gate Park, no filter

METALICA! 

BURY ME IN DENIM

It's clear we have a denim obsession, that we know. So if you're anything like us come down to the DenimBruin this weekend in San Francisco!

BLAUW

Obsessed is an understatement for the way we feel about denim, indigo and all the raw, worn and ungodly things between. Therefore you will understand why we're emptying the bank account to clear out Scotch & Soda's Amsterdam Blauw collection, shown here. It's our perfect androgynous mix to fit in any shared closet but only the right girl can pull if off with sex appeal.

NO GRAY AREA

 

We're totally inspired and in love with this black and white industrial home featured in the pages of Elle Deco Italiano. Somethings things are just simply, black and white.

OUTSIDE LANDS

So excited for the lineup at Outside Lands this year! Plus there are an insane amount of breweries onsite, what could better!

PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST

We're back from the a relaxing trip to the desert and amped with a few very exciting projects. Thought we start off by sharing the locale for a upcoming collabo with a special artist. I had to convince her to leave the studio untouched and unstyled, just love the rawness of it! Stay tuned...

TRIP TO THE DESERT

So here begins my adventure to Palm Springs for the next few days. First stop was the Ace Hotel, after checking in I ran straight to the pool for a party rocked out by local DJ and some hot co-eds. My room was camp chic, covered is sailing cloth and kept pretty minimal, however admittedly most of my time was spent sippin' Sangria in an inner tube at the pool!

Stay tuned for the next stop!

GATHER

I'm totally obsessed with foodie mag, Gather. It's a little bit Kinfolk and a little bit Bon Appetite—it's f*cking gorgeous!

SHUCK IT

One of the many pleasures of summer is slurping down briny, fresh oysters. Last week I accompanied the team of One Kings Lane to Hog Island Oysters to help style a shoot and this weekend is the SF Oysterfest in Golden Gate park with Minus the Bear and Young Giant playing. It's like those little aphrodisiacs are calling my name! Perhaps I'll eat too many and go find me a Magic Mike :)

SWEET SWING

Since it seems just about every fashion designer is crossing over to the interiors game, it's only fitting that I recently came across this Louis Vuitton and Fritz Hansen swing. I kinda love that it fold it upon itself and you can take it wherever you go. Reminds me of swinging from a tree at Ruschmeyers in the Hamptons :) Here's to a fun summer lovers!

I DYE

For a design project I'm working on I wanted to bleach dye some denim this weekend and although I may have inhaled a bit too much bleach, I'm loving the results!

I started by testing out a sample of the denim and folding in an accordian like mannor to get the pattern going across the denim, opposed to a hippie dippie spiral.

6 yards of denim, 4 gallons of bleach and about an 45 minutes later I had a bathtub full of tie-dyed denim! I fear every piece of denim hanging in my closet might meet the same fate very soon.

DRINK HERE: BERETTA

You know those cocktails that take about 10 minutes to make but are well worth the wait? Well, I've got another spot to add to the list: Beretta in SF's Mission.

NATURE'S FINEST

We've got some plans in the works for these amazing brass talons, think woven leather and macrame. However in the meantime they look quite fetching in an oversize seashell.

KLEIN BLUE

Obsessed with this Klein blue table and chairs, inspired to create my own! (via Pinterest)

FUTURE PERFECT

Mark your calendars for Thursday July 5th, to celebrate the kick off party for San Francisco's three-month art and music festival, Soundwave. One of our favorite zine's The Bold Italic will sponsoring the event at the California Academy of Sciences, which should make for a very fun and very trippy night. Disco/post-punk DJ's, video instillations and interactive instruments may have you swimming with the fishies at the end of the night!

GONE SURFING

Mollusk Surf Shop in San Francisco's Sunset neighborhood is a pure dream, beautifully organized, well-decorated and authentic products and staff.  If you venture over that hood make sure to also visit The General Store for some interior goodies and vintage threads and grab a bite at Outerlands. You will be thoroughly impressed!

HOTEL TOUR: WYTHE HOTEL in BROOKLYN

The Williamsburg waterfront recently got a $32 million hotel for some serious bragging rights, the Wythe Hotel and I'm itching to go check it out. They started taking reservations May 1st to rave reviews, I'm sure it doesn't hurt they have two very handsome hoteliers behind the scenes. The farm to table restaurant has a chic rustic bistro vibe which I'm loving and the rooms are quite expansive for NY standards—dinner and romp in a room with a view anyone?
