Metallics have been huge for the past few seasons and are showing no sign of slowing down as we head into summer, fall and winter. Printed jeans and studs are also two trends which were hot on the fall/winter 2013/2014 runways. With all of these runway trends popular on the street, it is fun to mix and match them together for a personal touch!

I especially love this edgy tote bag by Dareen Hakim from Circle & Square SF. It has a pewter, metallic finish which works well both during the day and for evening occasions. The tote bag is roomy yet lightweight which is always a plus! Since pewter is darker than silver, this tote bag will work well as we move into the fall/winter season. Love that! I am all about investment dressing

Santana Row Beauty Bash spring 2013

Santana Row held their premiere Beauty Bash on April 24, 2013 and it was a smash hit! The sold-out event raised way over $1000 for charity organization Career Closet and attracted a large crowd of shoppers. Guests of the event were treated to mini-spa treatments, delicious bites from Santana Row’s popular restaurants, wine tasting from Saratoga’s Mountain Winery and guest appearances from local editors and stylists!

Here are a few snapshots from the event. The photos are mainly from Ted Baker since that is where I was stationed as a guest editor. If you missed Santana Row’s first Beauty Bash, stay tuned for the next one and make sure you snap up tickets!
