Lookout & Wonderland Workshop
I wanted for so long to try my hands at tie & dye at home. So when my friend stylist Lisa told me about this indigo dye workshop by Niki Livingston of Lookout and Wonderland, I signed up right away! Plus, it took place at the General Store’s cute little backyard, one of my favorite spot in SF.
All the cool tools that create the patterns: rubber bands, chopsticks, beads and clothes pins!
I can’t wait to dress my baby girl with the little body I dyed for her. I hope she’ll like it! I already imagine her wearing it with a pair of adorable fringed moccasins like these or these!
And below is the scarf I made for me! 
Such a nice way to spend a saturday afternoon! It was so inspiring and fun and it really made me want to go to more workshops and do this again at home!
And here is a little video of Niki talking about her art:

New Paper Rabbit Kits in my SHOP!
I just updated my online shop with 3 new rabbit kits! They are a little bigger than the previous version and their noses are foiled either silver or gold! No scissors or glued needed, just assemble by folding and removing the stickers on the tabs. I hope you like them!
Here is the butter and brown one with a gold foiled nose, you can buy in my shop here.
Here is the light pink and fuchsia with a gold foiled nose, you can buy it on my shop here.
And here is the light grey and dark grey one with a silver foiled nose, you can buy it on my shop here.
Hawaii diary part 1
I just got back from a fantastic one week vacation in Maui, Hawaii and I was so happy to finally be able to wear comfortable clothes like dresses, sandals… It can be really challenging to find nice clothes when pregnant, especially pants! All the cool pants I have. I can’t wear them anymore, or I have to unbutton every time I sit down which can be really annoying and not very “classy”. The nice maternity clothes are very expensive and I refuse to spend too much money for clothes that I will wear only a few months. So now, I like to play even more with accessorizes: colorful jewelries, purse, nail polish, hat…
(Zara hat – H&M mirror shades – Friendship bracelet I made – Billagong purse – A&E dress)
These photos were taken in Big Beach, where I liked to spend most of my time in Maui. This is one of the largest and most beautiful beach on the island. It is located in the south west, in Makena State Park.
A saturday morning in the Outer Sunset
Outerlands is my favorite place to go for brunch during the weekend. We always have to wait at least half an hour to be seated but it’s worth it, I just love the vibe in the outer sunset. Especially coming back from Hawaii, I just wanted to be close to the ocean!
So we usually put our name on the list and then go to General Store which is a really cool design/clothes/accessorizes shop right next door and Mollusk, the surf shop: it currently host a really cool photo exhibition worth checking it out. It’s called The Goodwin Project, a young family leaving their home in Kauai to travel. I am particularly touched by it because it’s my dream! You can see some photos of the exhibition below and watched a video here, I am pretty sure it is your dream too.
Establish is a few blocks away from Mollusk, on Noriega st. and is definitely worth the walk! It is a super cute and colorful store I discovered not too long ago. This is everything I like, form colorful macrame plants holder, to tie and dye tote bags or scarf, vintage objects, skateboards, navajo blankets, cool baskets and beautiful jewelry. I just feel very relaxed and inspired when I am there. Each piece is beautifully displayed and emits this beachy vibe! Plus it’s really affordable!
And here we are! Back to Outerlands for a delicious brunch!
Featured in Refinery 29!
I am so honored to be featured in Refinery 29 this week! I had the pleasure to meet with Angela Tafoya and Katie Hintz-Zambrano who are the San Francisco editors. Fashion is a big inspiration in my work so it was so fun to be photographed by Maria Del Rio in 4 different outfits and spots in my apartment/workspace.

Paper bear for the Baby GAP store on New York’s fifth avenue!
I had the pleasure to work on a display for Baby GAP late january. I just received the photos of my bear in the shop and I am so happy with the result! The whole space looks so great, I love the mix of grey, gold and neon colors. Look at that wall behind the bear with the little gold, yellow and pink dots!I wish I was in New York right now to see it in person. Maybe I’ll plan on a little trip soon!
I am so glad I got to work for Baby GAP, especially since I’m expecting a baby!!! I spend so much time at the SF store looking for cute clothes. Now I want to decorate my baby nursery like this! Imagine how cool the bear would look in neon pink or gold!!!
This is too cute!!! I need a closet just like that!
Below are closer shots I took before I shipped the bear!
Going to Maui this friday!!!
This will be my first time in Hawaii and I am soooo excited! I don’t remember being as excited as this to go on vacation before. I’ve been thinking about it everyday for more than a month, stoping myself from packing my suitcase but now is the time!!! All I can think about is white sand and turquoise water, wearing dresses and sandals, eating fish and drinking coconut… and I will finally have some time to finish reading Grace!
I’ve been collecting infos of things to do there from friends and blogs but if you have any tips I’ll take them!
