OMGosh I'm exhausted in a great way, San Francisco in 1 day
Generally when I go away for a trip I spend two days at my location and showcase what one can get up to in such a short amount of time This really was a whirlwind, even for me. Here is San Francisco in 24 hours, what an exciting 24 hours it was
As you all know, it begins here ....
Vancouver Airport art
usually go straight to duty free and buy a little bottle of something something, then straight to Starbucks. Really the coffee is just an add on so I don't look like some freak drinking straight out of the bottle, LOL
OK this is hilarious, worked late and slept maybe 3 hours before heading out, wanting every minute of sleep I could get so I opted to do my make-up in the airport bathroom while I kill time and wait for my flight, I must have looked a sight for anyone that came in
I always fly Air Canada whenever possible. I say it's the airline that just never stops giving
Left this behind and gladly jumped up above the clouds
so excited!!! getting closer
I scrunched myself into a crazy little ball and managed to sleep the whole flight, this is on arrival, not bad
Took the BART for the first time into the city, really convenient
My stop, the financial district
Ended up here, your never going to guess where I am!!!!! The design studio of Jessie Liu from Simple Pair Designs. We have an incredible collaboration happening that I'll fill you in on later
Simple Pair Fashion Design
The door person was so cute, she said no one is allowed to take photos but would look the other way
I first saw Jessie's designs at Vancouver Fashion Week 2014, blown away! She is so sweet and lovely, I mean really lovely
I met with her and her team, Gonbee Tanaka Senior Pattern Director and mentor and Joon Hee Song her assistant for my fitting for her Spring/Summer 2015 Collection. I've never had a personal fitting before and it was a great experience
Check out the collection here vogue.co.uk/fashion/spring-summer-2015/ready-to-wear/jessie-liu
The fabric designs are taken from a friends paintings, no wonder it's like art to my eyes
Then off to a delicious lunch
I wandered around a bit taking in the architecture. Very refreshing to enjoy a city that embraces the uniqueness of older buildings instead of just knocking them down
As if my day was not exciting enough, met up with one of my best childhood friends. I haven't seen Jackie since grade 9, oh how time flies
We went to Madera Restaurant and Lounge at the Rosewood. This picture obviously does not do this place justice
We started on the outdoor patio, then went inside for dinner, then to the lounge. Californians take their social drinking to another level. Got walking towards the vehicle after dinner and thought,
nope, it does not end here and went right back inside. I just love a good speak feast
Pumpkin soup; mmmmwaa!
Your descriptions of the designs she has created were interesting, looking at the runway shots they are amazing. Can't wait to see you in some of these!
