I'm so elated, stressed, proud, tired and beside myself with utter joy, that my little, beautiful boutique is turning two years old. To celebrate, I have gathered some of my favorite artist from the past two years, to exhibit together in one glorious show! Being surrounded by so much talent keeps me motivated and inspired and I thank them all for their continuous support. Here are the details:

The Dear and amazing Matthew Reamer shot the final looks for the sight. We had such a great tine and the shoots look amazing. Thanks to Nida, Holden and Kelly for modeling and Jasmine for styling! Check out Mathew's blog here!

 

All the rain has made my garden bright green and all my fruit trees are blooming. The pets have been running around all frisky and it officially feels like spring. It makes me want to redo my house in pinks and crisp whites. Something kinda like these pictures. It also kinda makes me want to kiss boys.

Working frantically to meet the site deadline dates. Been setting up press so that site has to go live now. Daily Candy is hoping to do a piece this week, but it seems we are having a bit of technical difficulties that I hope to work out today. The two year anniversary party is this Friday and there are tons of little things here and there that I must attend to and then there is market next week in LA. Sometimes I feel this heavy weight on my chest, like there is just no way on earth I can take care of everything. Thank god I currently have the most supportive staff on earth, which all have the flu right now. I just keep chanting, I can't get sick, I can't get sick. I will just throw on some lipstick and some high heels and I everything will work out, right? I'm really hoping everything takes off the way I expect it to with the site and all, as I'm feeling more and more like I need to move out of San Francisco and I would really like to start opening stores in other cities. I have been here so long, and this city is starting to feel too small. On Sunday I was driving around and realized there was nothing I could think of that I hadn't already done or seen in SF. I grew up in Marin and Sonoma and besides a few stints in other cities, like Portland and Hawaii I have just been in the Bay way too long. Did someone say NY? Or maybe Tokyo, London or Berlin? Now I just need to focus on finding investors, which means boring business plan writing and adjusting. Why can't I just do the fun stuff? Now I'm off, to meet a photographer that is dong some sort of shoot at the shop, get crackin on the web and hopefully find a second to myself to make it to the gym today. I swear very soon, I plan to have a social life that includes way more glamor, intrigue and excitement. Maybe when I'm in LA for work I will meet an undercover agent, then I can write about that. I promise to have big 1960's hair for that plot change.
