Mulberry and Harper's BAZAAR: English Mulberry Wonderland #MulberrySF Event

Last week I attended Mulberry and Harper's BAZAAR event, and had a sneakpeek into their English Mulberry Wonderland installation on the third floor of their SF Mulberry store.  I was floored by how much amazing and creative thought they put into the installation, it was like we found a secret garden.  The intricate details of the autumn trees and leaves and the green hedge (resembling so much of the London-esque scenery and vibe) really stole the show, and in the best way possible.  Scattered about too were cute little photobooths where of course we took so many photos at, a fun one even included a "tea for two" background set.  Also, from this event recap, you'll spy a few lovely familiar faces, Chanda, Kate, and Lindsey.  And including of course, the cutest of all, Biggie Griffon himself. :) The event was so successful and was such a great experience, now if only I was able to catch a british accent too..then the stars would definitely align.

Trunk show of their new Spring 2014 collection

Last Friday, I was invited to preview the Freda Salvador 2014 Spring Collection and to attend a mini field trip out to Sonoma Scribe Winery.  The event started right when we arrived at their Union St. flagship store -- was greeted by a chic model army wearing bejeweled face masks and beautiful shoes.  After viewing their current collection at their store and enjoying some breakfast including delicious pastries from Marla Bakery and juice from Pressed Juicery SF, we went on a bus to travel to Sonoma.  Inside there was also a surprise with small tin lunch boxes with snacks and the Freda Salvador logo labeled on top, was too cute! 

I think the event was so successful because we were able to venture out of the city (what we're so used to) to instead an entirely new place, being Scribe Winery -- even better we enjoyed wine tasting on a beautiful Indian summer day and nature all around. The wine and chardonnay were so refreshing along with the pairing of cheese and bread (say cheese, and I'm always there).

After we previewed the new Spring 2014 collection, we were ready to try on the shoes! I ended up picking this black bootie with the black fabric contrast in the front and back.  I love how the boot also has side cut-outs and a mini heel for extra height but also comfort.  I loved the collection especially because it had unique patterns/prints: snake skin (in different colors, the blue was gorgeous) and fringe on some of the sandals.  All was completely wearable and I could see them fit in with my wardrobe perfectly.  

A big thank you to Freda Salvador for this amazing event, it was probably one of the biggest highlights of my year.  Can't wait to see more from them as their designs are amazing!  Be sure to check out FredaSalvador.com for more of their shoes (in their current collection, they have some leopard booties I'm dying for too!).  Also, get to know the designers, Megan and Cristina, behind the brand more here.

Hope you lovelies have a great week ahead!

Inspirafashion x pancakeSTACKER + LuLu*s Outside Lands 2013 Recap #lulusatOL

We came, we saw, we conquered..at Outside Lands 2013 with LuLu*s!  Spending the entire weekend, three-days at OL this year was really such a memorable, fun, and amazing experience.  I was so happy to collaborate with my partner in crime, Chanda and team up with LuLu*s on an instagram take-over to give you an inside peek of this year's fest! 

Day one, we took an obligatory Wind Mills pic, enjoyed the sounds of Band of Horses, Rhye, Pretty Lights, and ended the night with Yeasayer and Paul McCartney.  Ultimately my favorite band was Rhye, the addition of a violin just makes the music so intriguing and not to mention the lead singer's voice is out of this world beautiful.

Day two, I had my first try of crispy mac and cheese (freakin' amazing!).  Gave away some amazing LuLu*s prizes throughout the weekend to fashionable festival-goers.  Saw memorable sets like Young the Giant, Nine Inch Nails, Grizzly Bear, Baauer, and Phoenix.

Day three, we danced our hearts away to Vampire Weekend, Hall & Oates, Emeli Sande, and appropriately ended the entire weekend with an amazing show by Red Hot Chili Peppers.  In between everything we visited different tents -- got free ice cream, took photobooth pics (our favorite), and ate a LOT of delicious food (funnel cake, banh mi sandwiches, and yummy mozzarella spinach pizza, just to name a few).

Just wanted to thank again LuLu*s for an amazing opportunity to cover Outside Lands 2013 and to share our #MheerKat adventures on their instagram with everyone.  We had a blast all weekend!!  Thank you also lovelies for sharing in our #LuLusatOL feed on Instagram!  We hope you enjoyed the weekend! xoxo

P.S. Big congrats to the winner of the LuLu*s Festival Re-gram Contest, Laura! Thanks everyone who entered!
