7X7 GLAMWATCH BLOG *and* SF INDIE FASHION

OUTSIDE ACTIVITY HELPS WITH DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

Sometimes I let them breathe and they thank me.

POST-APOCALYPTIC HOODIE-VEST NOW SOLD IN REAL LIFE STORE. BELIEVE IT!

Now, you can find these sweet vests (and a few other designs - like this coat) in a fantastically cool sf boutique! And, uh...people are buying them.

My lovely friends, Holly & Michael, opened 'SHOTWELL' in downtown San Francisco (36 Geary Street, between Kearny and Grant). And this joint is definitely worth a visit! Great store, great people, great designers. waa-haa-haa :)

These fab hoodie-vests are all hand made by me and no two are alike (so far)! Reversible and muti-faceted, these little #'s are mostly 100% wool (some are wool blends). *i'll be experimenting with knits soon*. They're great for all seasons and all outfits {I wear my vest with old over-sized T-shirts, tights and boots or high-wasted skirts and dresses}. But i hear they go with everything.

Also, while in the process of finagling my garments into other sf boutiques, I'd be happy to create a lovely custom vest for you...or your girlfriend, mom, grandma (etc.) ~shoot me an e-mail if you're interested~

And boys, don't worry! I'm in the process of designing a sweet man version inspired by my excessively cool friend Daniel (see troll-king picture below).

DANIEL THINKS YOU SHOULD BUY A HOODIE

See Daniel Hetschel's artwork at 'Shotwell' too!!!

YES; THIS IS A FASHION BLOG, AND YOU MAY BE THINKING, 'WHY DOES SHE KEEP POSTING PICTURES OF HER FRIENDS?'

Meet Jen.
Since hiring Jennifer as my 'life coach', my attitude has improved tremendously. *uh...that's a joke. although it might not be a bad idea*
Besides being a fantastic lady; Jen inspires me to move forward...to think about future possibilities. She is a rare source of genuine and meaningful advice; a gem of a friend! A shout out is necessary; my appreciation is bursting!

BAM.

SABRINA, DON'T JUST STARE AT IT, EAT IT.

Meet Patrick Bateman, an ultra-successful financial analyst who only surrounds himself with the most aesthetically pleasing, beautiful, and costly artifacts. Patrick's acute taste inspires my modern rendition of the power suit; a type of ladies suit stereotypically associated with the 1980s and characterized by sharp cuts and stiff rigidity. The magic of the power suit lies in the way you feel when you wear it: invincible, professional, grown-up. Thanks YSL!

AN ADDITION TO 'THE LAST DREAM LEFT WORTH BELIEVING STARTS WITH ANIMALS SHAPES'

A different set of carebear sheets used in this blast-from-the-past jumpsuit...
...belonged to a small christian boy in Fresno, CA and served the same purpose as the below carebare sheets. Same existential dilemma, different way of dealing. The star button was salvaged from a little girls pink fairy costume and it's probable that this nice christian boy...grew up to dress in drag.
