There has been a lack of posting again....
I've been really busy at work lately because we have a few events and deadlines coming up so I've been neglecting the blog. I did, however, do a couple fun things last week!
On Wednesday I went to the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show Gala Preview Party with my co-workers. So so sooooo much fun! Loved it. It was basically a preview cocktail party for the Fall Antiques Show which opened to the public the next day. I had no idea that it was supposedly the kick-off party for the wealthy social scene in SF. Lots of Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, I was hoping no one noticed my Target shoes ;)
Interesting fact about the Fall Antiques Show according to 7x7 Magazine... "Every year, this party has the largest single-night caviar consumption in the continental United States".
Damn, I should have eaten some caviar, it was free! But I think I was too intimidated by the the crowds of women with giant diamonds on their fingers hounding the caviar tables--not to mention, I had chipped fingernail polish, heaven forbid! (I have taken plenty of mental notes if I attend next year).
Anyways, it was awesome. And the people watching was even better.
On Saturday I went back to the Antiques Show with my good friend to see a lecture given by legendary San Francisco designer Suzanne Tucker of Tucker & Marks. It was such a good lecture. She was very laid back and seems like a very personable person for the amount of success she has had. Not stuffy at all!
While her work is VERY, and I mean VERY, high end, she has a very classic and timeless aesthetic. She has a wonderful eye for mixing antiques and contemporary pieces. You can't tell from the pictures, but during the lecture she explained a lot of her projects and her work really embodies the lifestyle and personalities of her clients.
Enough with the chit chat, here are some of my favorites....
You seriously have my dream life, haha. I would love to have gone to that show! These photos are gorgeous too. The colors are so calm and pleasing.
