Kate Middleton’s Chic Sweater Dress

kate
While thinking about a celebrity look to focus on fresh off the Holidays, I sifted through images of glam New Years Eve looks, nearly blinded by all of the Kardashians in sequins. When I regained my vision I decided that all of those sequin frocks had been tossed to the ground (or eBay) soon after the ball dropped at midnight on December 31st, no matter how fabulous they were.  And most of us Non-Kardashians had done the same with our respective dresses, and won’t see sparkle unless a weekend in Sin City is on our 2012 forecast. With that revelation, I opted to delve into a more classic look worn a week prior to the New Year by America’s favorite new accidental “celebrity” and Style Icon in the making, Kate Middleton.  Kate’s look can be worn in any winter m [...] Continue reading →

The Little Mermaid – San Francisco Ballet

mermaid ballet
MODEbayarea, recently had the privilege of attending another brilliant performance, courtesy of the San Francisco Ballet.  The 2011 production of John Neumeier’s The Little Mermaid was both beautiful and entertaining from start to finish. This was our first experience seeing The Little Mermaid production (my wife and I) and even though we come from vastly different understandings and backgrounds when it comes to dance (she was a dancer growing up – I have two left feet) we were both equally impressed by the set pieces, melodic music accompaniment, and of course breathtaking dancing. What most people are unaware of is that the original story for The Little Mermaid was actually written as a ballet, and then adapted to various media – the most famous of which is Disney’s 1989 animate [...] Continue reading →

We all know by now that the royal wedding is almost here. What we don’t know is what Kate Middleton will be wearing. What’s more important than the wedding itself-the dress or even arguably the shoes! Aruna Seth is said to be in the running for top choice of shoes the soon to be princess might be wearing for her special day. I checked them out online and the shoes are amazing. Fit for a princess but available to the rest of us commoners. The bridal selection ranges from heels (one features white Chantilly lace), ballerinas (my preference),wedges and unique to Aruna Seth London designs only, butterfly heels. The butterfly heels come in many looks and colors and are widely loved by celebrities rocking them at red carpets, white,ivory,pink,gold,peacock blue,red all adorned with a swavor [...] Continue reading →

Charity Fashion Show 2011

Final Walk
One thing was apparent from the show — there’s a huge demand for fashion in the Bay Area. The turnout was incredible as a runway long enough to land a passenger jet was packed with dozens of models and hundreds of fashionistas for a two hour show. Besides supporting a great cause (The Princess Project) Charity Fashion Show gave the Bay a chance to show off its fashion chops. The overall ambiance backstage at the Fort Mason Center, was filled with enthusiasm and creativity, whether it was for fashion, charity, eco-friendly clothing, make-up or hair, everyone had one goal in mind — bringing a ridic show to an eager NorCal audience. Pigment Cosmetics I had a moment to learn a little about what goes on backstage with a huge team of two dozen make-up artists dolling up models. Pi [...] Continue reading →
