Thank you to everyone who came out on September 14, 2013 for the Santana Row Style Stroll! The event was a huge success and raised much-needed funds for the Junior League of San Jose. It was really fun meeting so many of you and talking about the fall trends!
I was stationed as a Guest Stylist at Cole Haan which has a fabulous selection of on-trend accessories for fall 2013 including leopard print handbags and pointed toe pumps! If you were unable to attend the Style Stroll at Santana Row last Saturday, please try to stop by the Cole Haan store soon! They have an amazing selection of shoes and handbags; as well as the perfect flats for everyday!
A few of my picks from Cole Haan’s fall collection are below. Thank you for supporting the Junior League of San Jose at the Santana Row Style Stroll!

Santana Row spring fashion show: wearing Calypso St. Barth

June 4, 2013 in Bay Area Fashion / Events tagged calypso st barth / outfits / santana row / summer 2013 by Bay Area Fashionista

The Santana Row fashion show took place on June 1, 2013 and I was honored to wear a gifted outfit from the Row’s newest, chicest retailer, Calypso St. Barth. This amazing shop features clothing and accessories which take their inspiration from the island paradise. Coincidentally, we have such warm weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the clothing and accessories from Calypso St. Barth work perfectly with our climate and “California Casual” style. They even feature lightweight cashmere cardigans which are chic and perfect for when the fog rolls in! I have my eye on this one.

The clothing is made from lightweight, high quality and breathable materials including silk, linen and cotton. There are also items from local designers and products with a charitable cause.

I have already washed the skirt and top and they held up well. Both pieces look brand new; as if they had never been washed! Love that! As someone who values high quality fabrics and construction, I am thrilled to have Calypso St. Barth so close to my house. I have also purchased a few pieces from the store and cannot wait to wear them! If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, there is a Calypso St. Bath store at Larkspur Landing, Stanford Shopping Center and of course, Santana Row! If you are not local, please visit CalypsoStBarth.com and you can either shop online or find a store in your area. You will love their boutique!

Santana Row spring fashion show 2013

June 3, 2013 in Bay Area Fashion / Events / General Fashion / Men's Fashion / Shopping tagged runway / santana row / summer 2013 by Bay Area Fashionista

Santana Row held their annual spring fashion show on June 1, 2013 and the show was amazing! The runway wrapped around the residential swimming pool with a pass through over the middle of the pool. Models walked around the pool, over the pool and one was even pushed in the pool! Due to the 90+ degree weather, I am quite certain he was happy about being pushed overboard Of course, the models who pushed him in the pool, wearing Oakley, helped him dry off when he climbed out.

The annual fashion show featured looks from many retailers on the Row. In addition to the runway, the 2013 show offered a pre-party packed with wine, champagne, delicious appetizers and mini-spa treatments. After the event, ticket holders were treated to generous discounts at participating retailers at Santana Row as well as additional appetizers and wine tasting.

The highlight of the runway show was when San Francisco 49ers legend Vernon Davis walked the runway and was dancing with the models over the pool. The crowd went wild! The sold-out show must have been music to his ears since ticket sales benefitted his charity, the Vernon Davis Foundation. No wonder he was dancing!

Here are a few of my favorite looks from the runway. If you would like to see the complete slideshow, please visit our Facebook page. To learn more about Santana Row, please visit SantanaRow.com.
