San Francisco based designers Mina + Olya celebrated their fall launch at the Ritz Carlton Residences on November 10th. The new collection combines the highest environmental and ethical apparel using sustainable and organic fabrics as well as manufactured in California. Organic wool, cotton, silks and denim are used throughout the collection. Our favorite standout piece was the silk button up blouse and red wool pencil skirt. J’adore the tulip wrap front and the small sized slit pockets at the back. The side pocket detailing adds an interesting silhouette. A beautifully tailored skirt that touts a clever twist. A beautiful collection, and I look forward to seeing more of these socially and eco-conscious designers!

One of San Francisco’s top hair stylists, Jules Chan has created this trendsetting powder styler product. The JuJu Chan Texture Powder had been getting rave reviews from bloggers…

Tempt your tastebuds with something sweet from Marc by Marc Jacobs during tonight’s Fashion’s Night Out. I am obsessed with the trendy tweeting upscale fusion food trucks in San Francisco. What could be more fun than a pop-up store filled with jewelry. The custom ice cream truck is decorated with graffiti-esque designs from Will Broome. Stop by Bloomies Soho store tonight in NYC where the truck will be parked for one night only. Bits of bauble-y sweeteness will be served from the Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall1 jewelry collection with prices ranging from $28 – $228 with free ice cream for all shoppers.

Featured cheeky baubles of jewelry sweetnes from Marc by Marc Jacobs include the Marc by Marc Jacobs Double wrap leather bolt bracelet, Strass Owl Stud earrings, Studded resin heart earrings, Pave bolt ring and Domed heart earrings.
