busy busy busy...

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....
