Obey Fall 2012 Collection
Model Alice Verlant Jacq
Alice is one of the top models for the Pro Fit Models Agency. She is in constant demand and always nails her line and look book shoots. Originally from France (where she is visiting right now!), Alice had years of experience in print modeling before moving to LA to pursue fit modeling and acting. I feel privileged to work with her.

Find Neon Nautical Outfit (theme for tonight's party)
DIY Tie Dye or Ombre Denim (which should I tackle first?)
Long Run (in preparation for the LB 1/2 Marathon!)
Brunch with girlfriends at one of my favorite spots
Quiet time with my hubby (Probably Sunday night, recovering from Saturday's festivities)
AND last but not least, hopefully find some time to go to the beach to soak in one of the last few weekend's of summer! Happy Saturday~

As a fit model one of the biggest perks is seeing what will be trending in the upcoming seasons. A recent trend in my fittings is brocade denim. These printed, textured and velvety fabrics are used in high end brands like McQueen and premium denim lines such as J Brand. Have to go to a cocktail party? Throw on a pair of skinny brocade jeans, a slinky tank, heels and plenty of accessories; FAB.

The Monday after the festival weekend, Mike and I wandered Fisherman's Wharf and Ghirardelli Square. The smell of waffle cones was tempting! We discovered Hyde Street Pier, which is the only floating National Park in America. It turned out to be the perfect location for a photo shoot despite the abruptly strong winds. I love the color of these subtly coated J Brand jeans. I've also been loving embellished collars, like this studded Zara blouse. I'm hoping to make my own version. Check back for that DIY post soon! Have a wonderful day~Xx~Steph
Zara's pre-fall lookbook is nothing short of perfection. As if my wardrobe didn't already largely consist of Zara, it looks like many of my fall purchases will come from this Spanish fashion-mecca. Leather, lace, sequins, peplums and beautiful embellishments. Sold. Have a good day!

Mike and I decided to join our friends on a last minute trip to San Francisco this weekend for Outsidelands Music Festival at Golden Gate Park. My friends and I have an ongoing love for tie dye so it's only fitting that I makeover an old tie dye tank. It's inexpensive and relatively easy, and the result will be perfect festival attire!
Step 1: Measure how high up you desire your fringe to start from the bottom of your shirt hem. Dot with pen or chalk as a guide. Cut strips of fabric up to your mark, about 3/8" to a 1/2" wide, all the way around the circumference of your hem.
Step 2: Knot two pieces of fringe together near top of cut. Repeat around the circumference of shirt.
Step 3: There will be two strands of fringe hanging from each know. Take one strand from one knot, and a second strand from adjacent knot, and tie together using same technique as Step 2.
Step 4: Repeat Step 3, creating a third row of knots around circumference of shirt. Once complete, trim fringe to desired length.
Ready to wear!!

I have yet to add my Instagram account to my blog, so in the mean time I will share a few of my favorite photos every month. Here are some pics from my girls trip to Palm Springs where we stayed at the Ace Hotel. There were so many cool details at the Ace it was inspiration overload! I even discovered a new, more affordable way to feature art that doesn't include framing. Below you can also see the other color way I made of the DIY crystal necklace I featured here.
