“Walking in a winter wonderland” . . . Ok, well maybe not in these deadstock L.A. Gears. And, as much as we love snow covered streets, snow is most certainly not a friend to your precious kicks. We like the cold that comes with these winter months as long as we are snuggled up by a cozy fire where we can keep ourselves, and our kicks, dry and warm. Perhaps with a cup of hot cocoa with tiny marshmallows, like M.I.S.S. December’s thumbnail perhaps? However you do it this holiday season, do it with your nail kit tiiiiiight! We wish you, yours and your kicks the happiest and healthiest of holidays, and much love and new sneakers in the coming year!

On Friday, August 1st, Liz and I had the pleasure of attending the opening of Mini Market, a curated gallery space and boutique brought to you by the ladies of Silverman Gallery and Look Boutique.  The space was transformed into a wood-framed, cellophane wrapped mart that housed some of the most unique and clever products I have seen in one space.  The night was filled with great treats, tasty bites, art on walls and art on nails.  The air was filled with music and some of San Francisco’s finest got together to take it all in.  The Mini Market is open through the end of August and you should definitely check it out if you’re in San Francisco. There are also special events scheduled including more nail art and homemade tarot card readings.
