Meat, Metal & The Mission Merge

I still occasionally write about local fashion and style for 7×7.com. A recent post about a butcher’s daughter, a local boutique and a lovely L.A. jewelry line.

Check out the story I wrote on fashion-focused social games in the April issue of 7×7 magazine. These games are a really interesting trend sweeping Facebook right now, and many of the top games are located in San Francisco or nearby.

Winter Update

After taking much of the fall off — though SF Indie Fashion continued to run smoothly — to spend time with my son, who arrived on Sept. 1, I happily returned to covering San Francisco fashion each week and resumed several of my freelance gigs at the beginning of the year. Here’s an update on where you can find my writing and other professional pursuits these days:

7×7 and 7×7.com: I cover fashion each week for the magazine’s web site and occasionally contribute to print.

San Francisco Chronicle: You’ll find my work in the newspaper’s Sunday Style section from time to time, as well as in the monthly magazine SFiS. Recently, I wrote a feature about the Irma bracelet and contributed to the 2010 Year in Fashion.

SF Unzipped: I write for the San Francisco Chronicle’s online style blog once each week. You’ll generally find my posts up on Fridays.

SF Indie Fashion: Every week day (and some weekends) you’ll find fresh content featuring the Bay Area’s wealth of design talent, fashion happenings, beauty news and independent retailers. The site has been growing steadily over the last few months, and we continue to tackle bigger and better things. I’ve been pleased to establish more news partnerships, which have led to our content appearing on sites such as Vivanista and The Feast. Stay tuned for what’s on the horizon this year.

Academy of Art: While I miss teaching (and look forward to when I can expand my work schedule and do so again), I am glad I am able to act as an academic advisor for a fashion journalism student here this spring.

Provocateur Media: During the fall, I began working with this local public relations agency on a consulting basis to help agency clients interested in the benefit of the journalist’s perspective on their campaigns. It’s been fun, rewarding and an interesting change of pace to work with local retailers and brands in this capacity, and I look forward to continuing my work on this front in the future.

Fashion Unraveled: The 2nd edition of this excellent resource for emerging designers is out, and I was thrilled to have a four-page section on blogging and social media included in its pages.

And as always, you can find out the latest musings from yours truly by staying in touch via Twitter or LinkedIn.

The Sartorialists: gr.dano in 7×7

I just love Alex Farnum’s shot of gr.dano’s Brian Scheyer and Jill Giordano. It appeared in the September issue of 7×7 along with an interview I wrote about the up-and-coming design duo. I’ve linked to the online version, but you can also find the story in print on newsstands this month.

Where to Find Me Each Week

Phew! Things have been so busy lately that I’ve been remiss in updating this site with all my clips. Here’s an update on what’s been going on:

- I was recently honored to be selected as a fellow in the Knight Digital Media Center’s Journalism Entrepreneurship program, held in May at the University of Southern California.

- Three times a week, you can find my fashion coverage on 7×7.com’s Glamwatch.

- Once a week, you’ll find my writing about the San Francisco fashion scene on the San Francisco Chronicle’s SF Unzipped blog.

- Every weekday (and some weekends), you’ll find my coverage of the San Francisco independent fashion community on SF Indie Fashion.

- And every single day of the week, you’ll find my travel writing, news, tips and advice on KAYAK’s Kayak Traveler blog.

- I also still occasionally write for KQED’s Spark program and freelance for various other publications, including the San Francisco Chronicle.

- In August, I’ll be leading a seminar with local public relations pro Rena Ramirez of 6th Gen Media to help local designers and small businesses take charge of their marketing, public relations and social media efforts. Stay tuned for more information on that…

Featured in 7×7 magazine

I was recently one of 11 Bay Area fashion bloggers featured in the March issue of 7×7 magazine. It was fun, though I’ll leave the posing and sitting for pictures to the models any day! Still, it was an honor to be featured and a testament to the success of SF Indie Fashion over the last few years.

Bat for Lashes Loves Local Designer

Was thrilled to discover that local designer Nico Lopez is a favorite of Bat for Lashes. Lopez shared the news after I ran into her recently, and I was happy to be able to turn it into a piece for 7×7.com’s Glamwatch.
