xfit

I never talk about crossfit, but it was one of my favorite things of 2011 - one of the best years of my life so far! Here are a few pics from the other day - it was the last workout in the crossfit games open. I attend the gym in san rafael called Tamalpais Crossfit. If you live in San Rafael, and want to join a great crew - ask me for more info!

Ali & Kevin met at my birthday party last year. I kind of feel responsible for their happiness now. :)

And of course staci - a badass new friend who joined the games on a whim - as you can see its really popular to attend the workouts (only during the open.)

8 year olds

a couple weeks ago, I was watching K, E, T & J. lots of little buggers. we were planning on going on a little hike - but the eldest: K - was kind of having a "moment". 

She was hiding throughout the house - as she put it she needed space. 
I'm all about that, and told her I respect her space, etc. but I was babysitting - so every 15-20 minutes, T & J & I would go around the house looking for her just to make sure she was still in the house and everything was fine.

At one point it took us 30 minutes to find her - finally hiding in an attic I didn't know existed.

K: I thought you said I could have space!
A: There are parameters within your space.

E (the 8 year old):  ha ha. you said there are parameters in space.

kelly the parrot

Had a nice meeting with Kelly the Parrot. I've noticed (more like heard) this Parrot before on my walks with Rowdy. He sits on his fence and yells HI to passing cars. I didn't get him to say Hi for the cameras. But don't you worry Kelly - we are friends now - ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME.

Gynelle & Ikat dress - San Rafael, CA

Today was a scorcher! Rowdy & I went to our favorite little cove/beach after work. He sniffs around while I take pictures and well, sniff around myself. Gynelle noticed my little miata parked on the side of the road, and stopped to join us! I had to snap her outfit:

marchesa F12

I finally have a minute to devote to #nyfw fall 12.

i want to start with a word about marchesa. their show left me breathless.

marchesa fun fact: they are named after the "living work of art" marchesa louisa casati. go read a little bit about her after you are done here. 

 here are my top 5 looks & why.  also see my storyboard (see marches fall 2011)

words that come to mind from the collection: gladiator, metal, armor, renaissance

love the bottom hem detail with the asymmetrical feather pluming out from inside the dress:

Here they introduce the gladiator sandal(?) - something i've personally never seen with this caliber of formal evening wear.  They have another in black a couple looks later.

I chose this because I have to have to have to pay homage to the structure and detail work of marchesa. so amazing & graphic & elegant & intricate:

Doesn't it look like she was simply dipped in the thickest richest metal i the world? and doesn't it look delicious & insanely luxurious?

Graphic detailing with the tulle - a theme throughout the collection. signature marchesa black & gold - with the sharp asymmetrical pops of tulle.

Bonus: I love how Marchesa always has this formal take on what looks like to me a - 60's mistress baby doll dress look in the collection:
