I know you have questions about the whole process. Here are some answers. If you have one that isn't on here please contact me.
Do you put together walkthroughs of places outside of Chicago and its suburbs?
Yes, I do! There is an added travel fee involved based on the location, but I regularly travel outside of IL for various events. Let me know what you are thinking and we can get something set up.
How long does the process of getting my business online take?
It normally takes 3-5 business days after a photo shoot to get your photos online but can take a bit longer if the Google approval process is backlogged.
How does an on-site visit work?
Once a visit is scheduled a deposit is made to hold the date on the calendar. I will show up at the arranged time and meet a representative from your business. We'll walk through the facility to finalize a photography plan and I'll get to work. I'll show the representative a few of the shots as they are being taken to make sure the results are to their liking. After the photography part of the session is finished I'll pack up my gear and head out.
How should my business prepare for the on-site photo visit?
You'll want to make sure your business is presented in the best way possible. This will often require a business to hold a session outside of normal business hours to get the quickest, cleanest and most cost-effective visit possible. Adding customers and employees into the mix make this much more time-consuming and overly complicated. It should be set up like it's about to have customers walk in the door.
What is included in your fee?
Each photo package offered includes the stated number of photos, an hour of time on site*, Step Inside with Street view stickers, posting the photos to Google Maps, guaranteed Google Maps photo approval and the ability to embed the walkthrough on any website or share via web link to any of the major social networks.
* Single photo packages include 30 minutes on-site at your location. Larger packages of 15 images or more will have more time allotted in the contract for the visit as needed.
Can I have my logo added to the photo?
Many 360 images on Google have a small tripod at the bottom of the image. Some chose to cover this with a blur or logo image. I offer an option to do this for you if interested.
Can you reshoot my business walkthrough to reflect the change in seasons or feature a recent remodel?
Yes! There is no limit to how many times you can have me out to your business' location to reflect just the right image that you want to project. Each visit is treated like a separate photo shoot that includes scheduling, editing, posting online and a required session fee.
What if my on-site session runs over an hour?
A nominal fee will be charged beyond the allotted time in 30-minute increments. This fee will be included in the text of your contract so there are no surprises.
Who owns the rights to the photos you take?
Each photo package allows you to embed/share the published image walkthroughs on any online site that a Google Maps embed or link share works. You will be given the copyright of all the images taken, but I will retain the rights to use them for the promotion of my photography services.
Can I get a copy of the image files used for my Google Street View?
Sure! There is a file download option you can add to your photo package that will allow you to download these images and post them natively as 360-degree images on Facebook or do whatever you want with them. I may use them on my website and social media as examples of my work, but will always link back to your website/social media when doing this.

And here's Part III of our ongoing series where we look back at some recent editorial graphics that ran alongside Oxebridge posts. See Part I of this series here, and Part II here.
Jimmy Olsen Works for ISO
Earnest, dedicated and clueless: that's the personality summed up by Superman's pal and cub reporter Jimmy Olsen. It was also the image we projected onto ISO's "legal advisor" Holger Gehring, who appears to have a poor grasp of legal concepts, but nevertheless runs headlong into danger hoping that ISO's actual attorneys, like Superman, will save him if things get hot.
Here's Johnny!
In an editorial pointing out how quality managers are trying to force their way into the C-suite, rather than use data and logic to convince their bosses of the importance of quality, we ran this altered image from The Shining.
Join the Gang!
For my editorial on bitcoin and blockchain, Paul Newman's iconic chain gang movie came to mind.
As did this for the same article:
Frost Nukes ISO
In my report on Roger Frost's icy turnabout against his former employer, ISO, I tweaked his official bio pic a bit to make it more accurate:
Target Acquired!
In this article on how CQI is promoting a subversive program to destroy ISO, a crosshair concept came to mind:
Bromance in the Air
This loving shot of two young men engaged in a bromantic walk down the aisle was a perfect illustration of how NQA promotes certain consultants who are (gasp!) just other NQA auditors.
This mutated image of the classic copyright symbol ran with my report on DNV-GL's "flexible" view of using other people's copyrighted materials:
Hey, Man, Fix Your Policies, Then!
ASQ was really, really pissed when I used their inane "QP Yourself!" campaign to add a hooded Klansman on the cover of Quality Progress. Let's recap: ASQ refuses to denounce racism for months, then issues a statement tacitly supporting the inclusion of racists in its membership, and then puts up an online tool where you can photoshop any image you want onto the cover of Quality Progress. And they didn't think this would happen? Where's that risk-bsaed thinking they keep talking about?
Anyway, because ASQ was so upset about that one, I ran this instead when discussing how ASQ proceeded to host a speech on "culture" by someone openly called a "racist" and peddler of "hate messages" (by people other than me, by the way):
You Can't Make a Revolution With Shitty Chinese Gloves You Bought Online
This next one ran after an ASQ member quoted Stalin in his anti-Oxebridge website. Based on their current membership policy, Stalin would be allowed into ASQ right now. So, there's that.
Missed It By That Much!
This next one ran in the Oxebridge Report newsletter, alongside an article discussing why Quality professionals have to "get smart" about blockchain.
Twitter May Know A Little Too Much About ISO's S-G
Not really a parody graphic, this one ran on the Oxebridge Twitter feed, pointing out how ISO Secretary-GeneralSergio Mujica's newest follower was really asking him for "sex chat." I'd love to see this guy's browser history.
ISO Guarantees It's Not A Guarantee!
Also over on the Oxebridge twit-feed, we ran this graphic showing how ISO is full of shit when it says ISO 9001 should not be seen as a "guarantee of quality."
Vomiting Sockpuppets
I'm afraid I didn't make this one up, even though it's the most outlandish image you're likely to see on the Oxebridge site. Yes, that's one sockpuppet vomiting rice on the head of another sockpuppet. And it's part of an official video published by ISO explaining how standards get made. At least they went with puppet gastrointestinal disease, and not the obvious alternate route: "sometimes, when ISO and BSI love each other very much, they get together and want to make a standard…"
About Christopher Paris
Christopher Paris is the founder and VP Operations of Oxebridge. He has over 30 years' experience implementing ISO 9001 and AS9100 systems, and is a vocal advocate for the development and use of standards from the point of view of actual users. He is the author of Surviving ISO 9001:2015. He reviews wines for the irreverent wine blog, Winepisser.

text: I recently attended the annual Government Affairs Conference with the National Customs Broker and Freight Forwarders Association of America (NCBFFA) in Washington D.C. If you're like me, Washington D.C. and regulatory policy can seem very distant when you're in the middle of the country, so it's always helpful to meet regulators and elected officials face to face. For me, the highlight of the trip was a speech from Mr. Allen Gina, Assistant Commissioner for the Office of International Trade in Customs and Border Protection (CBP). We attended the Customs Committee meeting with CBP hosted by the NCBFFA, and my group visited with staff in the House of Representatives and Senate. » Read More

It is that smile on God's face that I want to see. Yes, the turkey turning out just right is important, and having plenty of seats for all of the dinner guests is also very important. But if giving thanks this year is just to please others and not to please God, something will be missing...His smile will be missing from our thanksgiving celebration!
As we all take time to reflect on life and respond with gratefulness, may we not forget that God cares so much more about the attitude behind the gratitude!
So what is on your menu this Thanksgiving? Are you going to have a Cain or a Abel kind of Thanksgiving? Join us this week for THANKFUL THURSDAY and share with us your TT post by linking up below!

Musings on Art and Legacy with Nick Cave and VengaBoys
Thinking about the legacy of an artist and cashing in on nostalgia after two concerts I attended last month.
Steffmetal.com blog posts on metal events and happenings, concerts, festivals and advice on throwing epic metal parties.
Thinking about the legacy of an artist and cashing in on nostalgia after two concerts I attended last month.
A playlist of music I created that inspired my gothic romance, The Man in Black. Songs from Chelsea Wolfe, Sisters of Mercy, The Parlour Trick, and Apocalyptica.
I don't usually review live albums / concert DVDs, but I'm making an exception for the stunning acoustic concert from Swedish gothic legends Katatonia.
Dani Filth needs no introduction. The Cradle of Filth frontman is pretty well known as one of the more outspoken and controversial voices in metal. His band fuses many of the sensibilities of black and extreme metal with the moods and theatrics of gothic literature, horror films, and erotic woodcuts. […]
Yes, I am aware I have sort of forgotten to post in a few days. Mostly, it's because I'm trying to compose my top ten metal albums of 2011 list, which is giving me all hell this year since there have been so many amazing albums. That, and I went […]

Climate change: Threat to international peace and security
11 August 2011
On 1 August 2011, an article by Major General (ret) A.N.M. Muniruzzaman, President, Bangladesh Institute of Peace and Security Studies, Bangladesh and member of the IES Military Advisory Council (MAC) on Climate Change and International Security, appeared in The Daily Star, Dhaka, in which he wrote that ?The recent statement of the UN Security Council identifying the impacts of climate change as a threat to international peace and Security is most timely. Nothing can be more severe as a looming threat to humanity than the rapid climatic changes witnessed by the world today. Putting an end to the debate over climate change, the UN Security Council in a presidential statement declared at its meeting on climate change on July 20 that possible adverse effects of climate change may, in the long run, aggravate certain existing threats to international peace and security. Secretary-General of UN, Ban Ki-moon declared that climate change was an "unholy brew" that could create dangerous security vacuums, and that we must address a clear danger that not only exacerbated the threats but was itself a threat to international peace and security.?
He added that ?Major vulnerabilities induced from climatic hazards include human displacement, drinking water shortage, reduced agricultural productivity and food insecurity, loss of livelihood, health hazards, energy crisis, and disaster security.?
The article concludes with the statement that ?It is crucially important to recognise that climate change is pervasive and has more security implications than any other threat today. Climate-induced challenges should be placed at the core of security considerations in a rapidly changing world. Hence, effective international cooperation, as advanced by the UN Security Council, should be formed to address the unpredictable security consequences of climate change.?

Posts Tagged 'Ryan Theriot'
I could use some Dunkin Donuts
The Rickets family is giving out Dunkin Donuts and coffee tomorrow morning to fans who wait in line for Cub tickets. That's a pretty neat idea on the Ricketts end, gives the fans an opportunity to ask questions, hopefully tough ones.
There are some steroid allegations on Soto's 40 pound loss; I expected these allegations to start appearing, don't really blame people for thinking steroids, especially with the way Soto is looking. I give players the benefit of the doubt, and hope steroids weren't involved in his weight loss. He should just take a piss test or whatever they do to test for steroids, and clear his name right off the bat. Soto has a pitching staff to concentrate on and doesn't need anybody questioning his new eating habits; maybe he stopped getting the munchies.
Cubs management and Ryan Theriot meet tomorrow for the arbitration hearing. I cant wait for the Cubs to let Theriot know how invaluable he is. Hopefully the Cubs win this case, Theriot isn't worth a penny.
Marmol avoids arbitration hearing
The Cubs and Carlos Marmol agreed to a one year deal worth 2.12 million. Luckily they were able to avoid an arbitration hearing and met in the middle. I cant imagine the Cubs telling Marmol he isn't worth or is as valuable than Marmol thinks he is, because in fact Chicago needs him more than anything this year.
However, the Cubs and Theriot have not come to a deal and I can't wait for the Cubs to let Theriot know how they feel about his awful play. If they agree on anything obvisouly it will be a one year deal, especially with the Cubs number one prospect Starlin Castro ready to take over at short.
Its rumored Castro does have a shot at making the big league roster this spring, and hopefully he'll prove how invaluable Theriot is to the Cubs.
Cubs eyeing Sheets
With the Cubs being 1 of 15 baseball clubs looking at Pitcher Ben Sheets, he may be quite tough to obtain this season. Sheets threw three sessions yesterday in front of scouts. The first 20 pitches he pitched fastballs topping at 92 mph, the second session he threw 20 curveballs (which a major league scout said "has plus Major League stuff"), and the third session his fastball topped just at 88 mph.
Throwing 92 mph at Major League level isn't all that impressive, and topping just at 88 after 40 pitches isn't anything to brag about. But, one important factor we have to remember is he is coming off elbow surgery, so to still throw a great curveballs is something to brag about. Deceiving the hitter is more important than just throwing heat, which in time Sheets will eventually gain back with arm strength.
It's rumored Sheets is seeking between 12-15 million, not quite sure about length of contract, maybe two years tops. I believe the Cubs could afford a 15 million dollar contract, however it should all be incentive based. The Cubs can't afford to guarantee Sheets 15 million just for him to be on the DL all season. Sheets would also give the Cubs some cushion in the rotation especially with Ted Lilly starting the season on the DL.
Chicago has also offered starting shortstop Ryan Theriot 2,600,000 which is more than enough for his awful job at shortstop. However, Theriot took the Cubs to Salary Arbitation and is asking 3,400,000. Chicago shouldn't give him anything; he is the worst shortstop in the Major Leagues.
Theriot lacks defensive skills, arm strength, and rubs the base paths like a pregnant woman.
Isn't Tejada a free agent? That's who the Cubs should be looking at, and tell Theriot that a mitt the size of my (well you know) couldn't help him with his lack of defensive capabilities.


text: Always a man with a flare for the dramatic, Chad Johnson, Mr. Ocho Cinco, will be reporting to training camp on time and fulfilling the obligations of his current contract. Chad still has an ankle issue so he'll be limited in the beginning of camp. He should still be considered a top WR in the league even if he caught less balls than T.J. last year. Carson Palmer is smiling right now.

Chinese President Xi Jinping yesterday announced a pledge of $60bn financing for Africa's Infrastructure development.

He promised that the Sub-Saharan African region real-time tangibe socio-economic development that will be of immense benefit to its populace.
South African President Mr Cyril Ramaphosa in his remarks lauded the China approach to impact investments in Africa, while he denounced claims that new financing plan was another round of "neo-colonization" for the continent.

Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library by Chris Grabenstein
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book about a group of children who participate in a lock-in at their local library and have to solve puzzles to find their way out and win a grand prize! I love books about puzzles, and this one reminded me of The Mysterious Benedict Society, at least in the puzzle and codes aspect of the story.
The codes and mysteries are truly delightful to unravel, and I loved the setting in the fascinating library! This library has holograms and a reading rotunda and a dome that lights up with clues. There are museum displays and game rooms, entertainment consoles and fountains and statues. I could really imagine myself in this incredible library along with the characters!
My biggest problem with this book is that there is no character development. The characters are flat, and they don't really grow. I'm a very character-centered reader, so this is a big deal for me.
Both characters and plot lack depth.
Mr. Lemoncello is pretty much a Willie Wonka rip-off, with a funny voice and a weird sense of humor, strange costumes and cryptic comments. I wish his character had been more original.
The only character who really intrigued me was the librarian, Dr. Zhenchenko, and she is barely in the book. I wish her character was more developed.
The other character I really liked was Sierra, who just wants to read all the time instead of playing the game. I also wish she had been more developed and had some depth to her character.
I didn't particularly care about Kyle, the main character. I wanted to see him win, mainly because I wanted to see the puzzles solved, rather than wanting the hero to win because of any emotional attachment to him. He has a tiny bit of character development, but it's so small as to be negligible. There's no real change in his person.
Take away the puzzles and the cool library setting and this book has no story really. There's no depth, no underlying problem that needs to be resolved, no major life change for any characters, no emotional upheaval, …even the bad guys are flat, and I don't really care when they are defeated. eh.
But I DO adore puzzles, mysteries, codes, conundrums, riddles, word games, and especially… libraries!

"What an utter disgrace it would be to find something truly magic and spend any time at all pretending and trying to convince yourself it is all just an unbelievably orchestrated and beautifully choreographed illusion." -@TylerKnott ::: This is a photo of @CreaByJulie, aka: my wife, aka: you should follow her ? taken while we were on our honeymoon in Hawaii a couple of years ago.

Second Place, Julie T. @creabyjulie
For those who saw my stories the other day, I've been trying to figure out the perfect way to capture a firefly photo! I remembering catching fireflies in a jar when I was little just to watch them for a while and then let them go. I've never seen them in California yet (do they exist here?!) but yesterday I used a combo of fairy lights in a jar and @lensdistortions "Light Hit 1" in post to make it look like they were everywhere! We went to the Sequoias yesterday to drop off our girl @marissameizz for her amazing new job as a videographer (hit her up for all your video needs at the end of summer!!! She's amazing!!) and I knew it would be the perfect location for the firefly photo. Such a beautiful place. Also thanks @bringoutthegold for helping me with this in the middle of the mosquito-ridden forest ? andddd vlog of the Sequoias coming soon! #adventurethatislife #lensdistortions #mycreativesummer_letscelebrate

The Three Graces by Antonio Canova
"The Three Graces" by Antonio Canova is a statue of the three mythological charities who were daughters of Zeus. Zeus was the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who ruled as king of the gods of Mount Olympus.
The three sisters are identified as Euphrosyne, Aglaea, and Thalia, from left to right. They represent youth and beauty, she is named Thalia, mirth, is named Euphrosyne, and elegance is named Aglaea. The Graces presided over banquets and gatherings, to delight the guests of the gods. The Three Graces have inspired many artists and have served as subjects for many artists.
This masterpiece is carved from white marble and demonstrates Canova's ability to shape the stone to highlight the Graces' soft flesh. This was a trademark of the Canova, and this piece shows his leadership style in the Neoclassical movement in sculpture.
The three goddesses are huddled together, their heads almost touching and standing leaning slightly inward enjoying their closeness. Their hairstyles are similar, braided, and held in a knot. A peaceful balance is achieved, as the sisters embrace and become as one in their embrace. They are united by their linked hands and by a scarf which provides some modesty. The unity of the Graces is one of the main themes of this masterpiece.
This original statue which is in the Hermitage Museum was sculpted for Empress Josephine, the first wife of Napoleon I. A second version was commissioned for an English patron, which is now jointly owned by the National Galleries of Scotland and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Antonio Canova
Antonio Canova (1757 – 1822) was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures. Canova was regarded as one of the greatest of the Neoclassical artists. The Baroque and Classical Revival styles inspired his artwork. Canova's passion in sculptures were either Heroic compositions, compositions of Grace, or Tomb monuments.
Antonio Canova was born in the Venetian Republic. Unfortunately, his father, who was a stonecutter, died when Canova was three years old. Fortunately, he was put into the care of his paternal grandfather, who was a stonemason and a sculptor who specialized in altars with statues and low reliefs. His grandfather led Antonio into the art of sculpting. At the age of nine, Antonio Canova executed two small shrines of Carrara marble, which are still in existence. After these works, he was employed under his grandfather as a sculptor.
Antonio Canova worked in Venice, Rome, France, and England, and by 1800, Canova was the most celebrated artist in Europe. He promoted his reputation by publishing engravings of his works and having marble versions of plaster casts made in his workshop. He was so successful that he had patrons from across Europe, including France, England, Russia, Poland, Austria, and Holland. In 1820, Canova made a statue of George Washington for the state of North Carolina.

Spring is well and truly with us and now is the perfect time to give your home a good clean and tackle your clutter. During winter we often have the house shut against the cold and we tend to hibernate leaving a few months where clutter can take over. There is plenty of research that shows how clutter negatively affects our ability to focus. It competes for our attention and makes it difficult to process information.
Clutter, however you define it, can be bad for your health. According to Psychology Today, people tend to feel like life is out of control when they surround themselves with more things than they can manage. The mess causes stress. If you're not taking care of the clutter in your home, you may not be taking care of yourself either.
Living in an organised, clutter free home gives you physical space, it makes it easier to find things, it prevents the build up of mess and it allows your brain space to relax and rejuvenate.
So, collect those unwanted items and give them a second life by donating them to your local nonprofit organisation.
Where do I start?
Start with one room at a time. It helps to focus even on one area per room (eg wardrobe) and gradually work your way to cover the whole room. If you flutter around like a butterfly, you will just waste your energy and feel completely overwhelmed.
Use the 3 box method to create a sorting system. As you go through the rooms and spaces in your home, you will need a system for sorting the items you find. Gather 3 boxes or storage bins, label them and use as follows:
Keep: Empty after you complete a space. Items you keep should go in their newly designated home. Optimally these things should be stored neatly in a container or drawer. Label if desired.
Get Rid Of It: Empty after you complete a space. Store any items you want to give away or sell outside your home – either put them in the vehicle you plan to transport them in or store them temporarily in a garage or an attic.
Storage: Empty into storage containers after you complete a space. As you fill your containers, label them or drop an inventory sheet on top and neatly put them in your storage area.
Organised first; buy second. Buying a ton of storage pieces and supplies before you sort through our home won't do you any good unless they fit the space (on the shelf, under the bed, in the wardrobe). Clear out first, assess what you really need and then buy a few bins to start.
What's next?
Clean as you go. As you remove items to sort through them, use the opportunity to clean the drawers, wardrobes, shelf etc where the items were stored.
The 80/20 Rule. When it comes to clothing, we generally only wear 20 percent of the clothes we own 80 percent of the time. This rule tends to hold true for other things as well, such as video games, computer parts, books, DVDs, toys and more. Your mission is to get rid of the things you don't use 80 percent of the time.
Getting Over Sunk Costs. In the world of economics, costs that have already been incurred and cannot be recovered are referred to as sunk costs. As you go through the items in your house, most things should be considered sunk costs (except for rare situations where an item may have increased in value). Since you cannot get the money back that you spent on that item, you should only think about the value that thing can add to your life in the future. Understanding this concept of sunk costs can help you make more rational decisions about what to keep and what you should toss.
Keep like things together. Categorising things as you go through them is imperative to organising your home. In fact, keeping like things together forces you to organise your home. And it will make your life easier! Store like items close to where you will use them and you'll not only know where they are when you need them, but you'll reduce some of the little frustrations in your daily life.
Give yourself enough time. Rome wasn't built in a day and very few people have the energy and/or focus to spend 8 hours organising. You're likely to become frustrated and less efficient as the day progresses. It's much better to spend a few hours - 2 or 3 - on one space.
Complete each task completely. Of course you will need to sort things into categories (e.g., toss, recycle, donate, give to friend, put in deep storage). But here's the crucial part: Once you have decided where something is going to go — take it there. Never keep bags for charity or boxes for friends in your home to deliver later. Do it now. Finish the process. Take the bags and boxes out to the trash or recycling immediately. If you're donating something or giving something to a friend or family member, put the items in your car or make arrangements for dropping them off. You've done so much work getting this stuff ready to take out, complete the deal!
Good Enough is Enough. Very few people have closets and drawers that resemble those in catalogues. Mostly after we've organised a space it doesn't look like an ad for Trust me. I've been in a lot of houses and apartments and even after we've totally reorganised a space, it doesn't look like an ad for Howard's Storage World. It looks great and works properly, but it is a space that is used by an actual human being, not one that has been carefully staged by a team of stylists and marketers for a non-existent resident. You will ultimately be disappointed if perfection is your goal. The goal is to set up a space that works well for your needs. That is success.

Landscapes of Russell Fjord
The Hubbard Glacier
In God's wildness lies the hope of the world – the great fresh, unblighted, unredeemed wilderness.
– John Muir
Last light on the Ice
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
– Rachel Carson
Follow the Crystal Clear Road
To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.
– John Muir
360* of Pure Wilderness
And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.
– William Shakespeare
Color in the fog
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.
– John Muir
Too much for Words
The West of which I speak is but another name for the Wild, and what I have been preparing to say is, that in Wildness is the preservation of the World.

Looks of the Week – Inspiration Edition
Welcome back to another Looks of the Week post – And this week's post is filled to the brim with fabulous fashion blogger looks. I love discovering great new blogs – via Lookbook.nu, IFB, affiliate links, etc – but I also like checking back in with some of my favorite "established" bloggers and some of the blogs that originally inspired me to start my own.
{I'm in fulllll cape mode right now and that's in part due to this chic, effortlessly stylish look that I fell in love with recently. Wendy Nguyen has the unique ability to make an outfit look fashion-forward but still accessible. Like looking at an advertisement for your favorite store – You love the picture and you know you can put together the look just but running into the store!}
{The killer color scheme, the fabulous seventies vibe, the ridiculously chic hat… I just can't decide what I like best about this look from the always stylish Saucy Glossie.}
{Give me a maxi and I'm a happy girl. Give me an effortlessly style & low-key look that features a maxi and I'm a really really happy girl! Thanks for the Winter inspiration Trop Rouge!}
{A chic day-to-night look that's super stylish AND features flats is hard to come by. And as always, Cheyenne Meets Chanel makes it look oh-so-easy.}
{I love brocade and I love Peter Pan collars so I was thrilled with this look. I like that Viva Luxury mixed up the traditional black & white look by adding splashes of blue and bright pink.}
{The Glamourai's Kelly Framel is someone who I always look to for fashion inspiration. Every single look that she puts together makes me sit up and take notice ,and this "basics" look is no different – Chic & stylish with clean lines and a pop of color. Perfection!}
{San Francisco to New York City blogger OnTheRacks is a great source of colorful, fun, edgy inspiration – She always mixes pieces in ways I wouldn't think to, with fabulous results.}
{You can always count on Late Afternoon to put together a look that's fun and eye-catching while still wearable and wholly "her." I love love love this vintage gold skirt – The length, the color, the fabric – This is the PERFECT vintage find as far as I'm concerned.}
{Winter whites never looked so good! Leave it to LA-based The Chriselle Factor to put together a fabulous cream-colored look using pieces from different lines.}
{If you're ever in the mood for a sweet treat – Along the times of a dreamy, romatic look in a breathtaking setting – Than Gary Pepper is the place to go. Swoon.}
I hope that you get as much inspiration from these talented, creative, brilliant ladies as I do – Enjoy!
Looks of the Week
Compaired to the Looks of the Week: Pants Edition post last week the collection of looks below is a somewhat more versatile – With a killer jumpsuit, chic mini and maxi skirts, stylish pants in various fits and silhouettes, and fabulous outerwear from fashion bloggers and models around the world.
This is without a doubt the best look that I came across this past week. It's striking, flattering, fashion-forward, and just plain fabulous – From the killer red jumpsuit to the silver spiked braid to the oversized clear clutch. Wow!
I love the combination of the white pleated maxi skirt & basic white tee paired with the bright, patterned jacket by Milly. It's fun, unique look that makes me miss Summer!
What I love most about this look is the texture of the patent oxblood skirt combined with the matte, loose-fitted blouse. Oh, and those shoes. J'adore ankle straps!
This is such a feisty, rock n' roll look – I LOVE her studded jacket and those buckle-adorned boots are totally killer!
This look is such a fun combination of colors, fabrics, and textures – It's really eye-catching and fashiony, but still looks relaxed and comfortable.
There's pretty much nothing more classic than a trench coat but leave it to Saucy Glossie to choose a leather sleeved version and pair it with a fun, eye-catching leopard print scarf. Great combination!
Black & brown can be a hard color combination to put together but when it's done right it can be pretty striking. This silhouette paired with the 70's inspired felt hat is a great look – Très français!
Which of these looks is your favorite? Are there any new trends or fun new styles you're especially excited to try out this Fall?
Everyone seems to be in the mood for lists right now. A handful of bloggers that I adore have published list posts lately: The Life & Lessons of Rachel Wilkerson's What I've Been Eating, What I've Been Reading, What I've Been Writing, What I've Been Wearing, Holly Would If She Could's 16 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Me, and SnackFace's This Week's Sounds, Scents, Sips, Snacks & Sights…
And with my hectic schedule lately, both at work and personally, I've been living and dying by my daily To Do lists. First thing in the morning I make a list of all the things that need to get done that day and before I leave the office for the day I take the list of tasks and put them in chronological order. Don't worry, I'm not going to share my daily To Do lists with you. I thought I'd take a cue from my blogging idols though and share some of the details of what's going on in my life these days.
What I've Been Eating:
I didn't do a great job following a healthy diet in April or May, as I confessed, so I've been doing my best to rectify that over the last few weeks. Tons of fruits and veggies, and smoothies galore. Green smoothies, berry-based smoothies, and even peanut butter smoothies. Yum!
What I've Been Reading:
My boyfriend's mother insisted that I read The Botticelli Secret by Marina Fiorato, and I ended up reading all 544 pages over the course of a weekend because I couldn't put it down. Botticelli's Primavera has been my favorite painting of his since I saw it in Florence when I was 21 so I was especially drawn to the storyline. I've also just finished Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think by Brian Wansink and was stunned by how much I related to each and every study that he discussed. Definitely keep an eye out for a Book Report on this! I've also just started Add More -Ing to Your Life: A Hip Guide to Happiness by Gabrielle Bernstein, which isn't a self-help book – I swear – it's a self-transformation book. 🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing how it impacts my daily approach to life as part of my #1 2012 goal to Be Positive.
Oh, and I have a serious fashion magazine problem. Like a – I need a 12 step program type of problem.
What I've Been Writing:
One of my goals for 2012 is to publish a piece of my writing and while this has been a personal goal for years, this is the first time I've officially written it down. Not to make excuses, but as a result of my spinal injury and my laptop dying earlier this year, I haven't worked on this goal much so far in 2012. Hopefully this post will serve as motivation for me to start editing my first novel, I started writing it when I was 20 and wrote a large chunk of it while I was traveling around Europe by myself when I was 21.
What I've Been Wearing:
During May I submitted a handful of looks to a fashion challenge run by Definitely RA, you can so you can check out some of those looks – Mission: Put Together 2012 – Part I and Mission: Put Together 2012 – Part II. The challenge was great and I wish I'd had time to participate more, but even putting together a few looks was fun. And as part of my goals for June I wanted to make an effort to wear less black, especially on sunny weekends, so that's been a major factor in choosing my daily looks. Definitely an adjustment not to automatically reach for the black pieces!
Some Things You Probably Didn't Know About Me:
- I don't actively follow astrology but I've always believed that I embody many of the traits of my Scorpio sign – Determined, loyal, suspicious, discreet, introverted, dramatic, passionate, possessive…
- I originally hurt my back springboard diving in college when I was 18
- If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would be sweet potatoes. There's an endless number of ways to cook them… Chips, fries, baked, mashed, in pudding. They can be sweet or savory. Hmmm… Now I kind of want to spend a weekend eating only sweet potatoes and blog about all the recipes I come up with! 🙂
- Sometimes I forget that I don't really "know" bloggers. I begin to feel like I'm friends with people whose lives I read about every day. Does that happen to anyone else?
- I have three tattoos.
And so that we can continue to get to know each other, I'm going to re-start my short-lived Les Confessions series, where I post some "confessions" about myself and my life on a regular basis.
I've been listening to 70's and 80's music non-stop. From vintage Bon Jovi, Kenny Loggins, and Twisted Sister to fabulous 80's movie soundtracks – Footloose, Pretty In Pink, Breakfast Club. The upside is that it's really upbeat music that wakes me up and makes me smile every morning, the downside is that I dance at my desk. A lot.
I'm a peppermint junkie! Candles, air fresheners, essential oils… Whatever I can find. I've also been baking up a storm and I love the scent of raw cacao and carob powders as their heating up.
Peppermint tea – duh – and I have to confess that my guilty pleasure these days is Cherry Coke Zero or Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper. My boyfriend is horrified by the red color from the syrup but I treat myself to one a week! I've also rediscovered the Synergy Kombucha drinks, and I laugh every time I get carded buying them!
I seem to have almost forgotten about hummus when the weather was cooler but now that it's warming up I'm craving hummus daily. Carrots, celery, sugar snap peas, and radishes dipped in spicy hummus is favorite after-work snack. I've also been eating my bodyweight in fruit on virtually a daily basis – pounds of grapes, cherries, apples, and bananas. Just can't get enough!
This Spring was amazing with weekends in Sonoma, San Diego, and Sea Ranch, but June has been a gorgeous month in San Francisco and I've been really enjoying spending time in my favorite city. Walking everywhere, trips to the Ferry Building Farmer's Market, lazy days spent shopping and wandering around the sun-drenched streets… Amazing!
So tell me, what have you been up to? Do you like to make lists to ensure that you get everything done that needs to be done each day?
2013 Resort Collections
Did the breathtaking Chanel Resort 2013 and Oscar de la Renta Resort 2013 collections whet your sartorial appetite for more gorgeous warm-weather clothes?
Me too!
I've narrowed down some of my favorite looks from all of the gorgeous 2013 Resort collections for you. I wish I had the time for a full review of each lovely show, but alas, I do not. Enjoy these highlights!
As usual, the Stella McCartney show was cheerful and fun, offering beautiful clothing in a fun atmosphere. Games, a lemonade stand, celebrities & fashion insiders, and gorgeous models sporting gorgeous, summery pieces. Perfection!
Cute. Fun. Flirty. The Carven show was filled with great, wearable separates. A few dresses were sprinkled throughout the show, but the separates were the highlight. This collection had Alexa Chung's name written allll over it!
I was thrilled when I heard the news that Miss L'Wren Scott was planning to show her first Resort collection this season. I've been a longtime fan of her Fall and Spring lines, I adore her ladylike silhouettes and the phenomenal attention to detail that her garments always have. And this fabulously retro collection, tailor-made for Mad Men or Pan Am, was worth the anticipation.
Marc Jacobs was all about brights, prints, and separates. As always, the show was busy, a fabulous chaotic mess of fabrics and patterns and color. Oversized, baggy shorts paired with sequined T-shirts, maxi dresses with cut-out backs, midi-length dresses and skirts in a-line silhouettes, and bold colors embellished with sequins, lace, and shimmering brocades. A feast for the eyes!
I've been a fan of Phoebe Philo's work at Celine since day one. The lines, the silhouettes, the pants, the chic minimalism, the accessories. Oh lord, the accessories.
I'm a sucker for a pretty pattern and easy, wearable separates, which makes most of the Tory Burch collections right up my alley. This year's resort show included mixing & matching patterns, thick banded sandals, striped & checkered pieces, over the shoulder bucket bags, headbands, short shorts, and even seashell accents.
Preen had great florals, maxi dresses, and striking separates, but these two looks really stole the show in my opinion. I loved the dramatic quality of the color choices and the striking cuts.
Michael Kors showed lots of solid colors and dazzling gold pieces. His silhouettes were simple and classic, the colors and occasional pattern definitely took front stage.
You can always count on a Moschino Cheap and Chic show to be playful and entertaining, and the clothing to be cute and fun. This collection was all about gorgeous outerwear, whimsical prints, and relaxed, chic separates in cool greens and pale blues.
I always look forward to all of Jason Wu's shows, his designs are inevitably chic and polished. Each and every look could go straight from the runway to the street outside the show without missing a beat. Classic, well-tailored, and timeless, these clothes are a great investment!
And I've saved my favorite for last… Rachel Zoe! Fun, sexy, and completely drool-worthy. Daywear, club gear, bathing suit cover ups, all with a little drama and a 70's spin. Just the way we like it!

Looks of the Week
How was everyone's weekend? Did you have a good Mother's Day? While I didn't get to see my mother yesterday, I did get a chance to spend some time with my boyfriend's mother and his sister who just gave birth to her third daughter two weeks ago. Quite the family day!
But today we're here to discuss street style. Here in San Francisco it regularly goes from bright, sunny, and stunningly warm to foggy and rainy in 12 hours, so there's no way to dress consistently during the Spring and Summer, it's all about layering and keeping a sweater or umbrella in your bag. Here are some looks that run the gamut in terms of skin coverage so hopefully no matter where you are in the world there's a look that you can emulate, enjoy!
