Thursday night we got all fancied up and went to the MOB x Missbehave Magazine fashion week party, “The Bad & The Beautiful.” The soiree was at the Red Bull Center and we got the chance to see lots of people that we don’t get to see on the daily. Afterward, we went over to the WAD party at Hiro. Here’s all the good folks we saw: Missbehave Magazine ladies, MOB posse, Uffie, Annie from Cubannie Links, Wendy from Nitrolicious, YM from Freshness, Mika from Cream, Michelle Ten, Mel D. Cole, Brian Lichtenberg, Dee & Ricky, Erin from Made Me, Radio Rose, Alice, j.e.w.e.l.s, Kari and Ron. You can see pics from the party here and here. And we have a few pics after the jump . . .

There was no Yellow Carpet at the entrance but we were happy to find out that there was a Yellow Brick Road set up around the shoe department at Saks that led you around to view all of the Ruby Slippers. I couldn’t help but don red shoes to the event in the spirit of the occasion.  Check out photos of the scene and the Saks store windows after the jump . . .

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.

Please believe we are some busy ladies here at M.I.S.S.

NEWS FLASH! The International Council of Style and Trend Forecasting (ICSTF) has just released a MAJOR trend for A/W 2008. The Council has reported that this Fall (and EVERY Fall Season for infinity and beyond), Animal prints will play a major influence. Eeeeeeeee!!!!!! We are shocked and so excited that we finally have a Fall season in which we can rock our animal prints without being laughed at for thinking so far out of the box. THANK-YOU!

Yes, this is a bit of a mockery. We get a good laugh at how every Fall season, animal print is treated like it’s the next big thing. Really, when isn’t it hot? Who doesn’t love some animal print all year around? Shooooooot. We here at M.I.S.S. love us some animal print, we even like to rock them all at once sometimes, hell, why not? A little or a lot what’s not to love. . . those critters in the jungle were on to something long before the concept of fashion existed. Just know that you really can’t go wrong with a little “animal” in your wardrobe (snake, leopard, zebra . . . ). Now, how you rock it is another story and includes a consulting fee, that can be discussed if needed . . . get at us.

A few weeks back the M.I.S.S. Crew was in full effect to check out It’s Pop It’s Art hosted by iLL-Literacy, a Bay Area spoken word crew. There were four of us that made it out: Lexx, Michelle, Liz and myself. Here’s a peak into what Lexx and I wore - Michelle and Liz’s outfits coming up shortly!

If I remember correctly, I was having a pretty bad day and had to drag myself out of the apartment. Comfort is always key for me and I took it to new heights by going out in sweatpants. I know, I know, I am officially contributing to the pajamafication of the U.S.A. It’s not my fault that they are the best sweatpants EVA. Anyway, you heard it here first, Sweatpants Are The New Black.
