F3: Fall Fashion Fest in Union Square!

The Fashion scene here in SF is quite weak compared to those of Paris or New York, but the Union Square is still making cool events happen.
On October 3rd, I went to Union Square for the 2013 Fashion Fest, where stores stayed open late and put on fashion shows and parties for customers, fashion bloggers and fashionistas to enjoy. I must say I had a blast.
Advice: unless you are planning on staying in one store, do NOT wear heels; it is not a good idea.
Here are a few pictures I was able to snap between each race to my favorite stores. Can't wait for next year!

Bringin' Sexy Back!

As a rather...busty woman, I do not enjoy showing too much cleavage because it can become easily provocative, and I'm sure all busty women know what I am talking about!
Unless I am in an adequate situation like a night club, where I consider it is acceptable to show off and be a bit sexy, my confidence somehow disappears, especially for daytime activities, so I balance a covered front with sexy cutouts in the back!
This top is gorgeous with high waisted shorts or pants. I think it just speaks for itself.

Forever21 21 Days of Layers Inspired Look: Long Live the Cardigan!



Gotta love the Californian weather. Coming from France, I was pretty happy to see that it wasn't that cold here in San Francisco. Even in Fall!
This Indian summer weather is just perfect for me, as I often get cold in the upper part of my body, like my shoulders or my neck, while my legs always enjoy a bit of freshness.
If you're weird like that too, the combination Summer dress - Cardigan is perfect for the first days of Fall. Yep, layering is hands down my favorite Fashion trend this season: as it is always nice and sunny despite the cool wind, I can wear one of my favorite summer dresses and give a bit of texture to my outfit with a nice cotton cardigan and a jacket, thick enough to make up for the nakedness of my legs.

I was on my way to school, so I don't wear anything fancy because I am L-A-Z-Y; I like to be comfortable and casual. But if I was going downtown or on a date, I would substitute my flats with nice brown boots and a cute matching purse.
