Ok, I’ll admit it: I really like Project Runway. Granted the show was WAY better the first season before the show got bounced around networks and cities, before the producers felt the need to outdo themselves, and before Heidi’s little sayings became rather tired. (Note I say nothing of Tim Gunn’s sayings growing tired. I could [...]

There’s nothing like a trip to the store to try on bathing suits to get you really good and nostalgic for your trusty everyday pieces of clothing. Oof. My feeble attempt tonight to find a new swimsuit prior to the Fourth of July weekend left me scrambling back into my comfy, worn-in blue jeans. In [...]

The last couple of weeks have been beautiful out here. It seems like my song and dance ritual to mother nature has paid off. It was beautiful and warm during Stern Grove Festival opening concert with Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings this past Sunday. I managed to get a little color (just a little [...]

I’ve recently taken to walking along the San Francisco Embarcadero about half an hour each day in an effort to break up my 9 hours of absolute sedentariness (is that a word?…it is now). There is something a little strange about walking without a destination, but I’ve also found it rather refreshing. With no certain [...]

Recently, I was introduced to Zen, short for Zenaida, a stylish San Franciscan climber/painter. The second time I met her, we were at a brunch welcoming a chicken named Tortilla (This sentence will make more sense soon, I promise). It was a sparingly cloudy Sunday punctuated by occasional bursts of sunshine when we had our [...]

Last week was so endlessly gray that I thought San Francisco might never see summertime. But the weather perked up — so far.  *Insert sigh of relief here*. The diagram below will best explains how dreary weather affects me. Having come from Arizona, where the sun shines for pretty much 300 days of the year, [...]

Welcome to our newest feature—Flavor of the Week, an idea that evolved from something they do over at Design*Sponge (love them!). Our version is a bit different. Given that I love food AND fashion, I decided to create a weekly flavor collage filled with lovely items from Kreeya.com and other tidbits I currently yearn for [...]

We were so excited to sit down with Paulina, creator and designer extraordinaire of FluffyCo. Here’s to hyper-local production and graphic prints! Tell us how you got started with FluffyCo. I was trying to decide what I would go to school for­, art or graphic design and I decided to do graphic design because I’m [...]

When we launched Kreeya in April, we asked our users for their email before they could start shopping on Kreeya.com. Why? We believed that we could make Kreeya.com more valuable with feedback from our users. We hoped to build a community of wonderful people who care about promoting independent fashion and unique designs. We were [...]

In my early days living in San Francisco, I discovered a bright yellow store on 18th Street between Mission and Valencia that is The Apartment — a secondhand, refurbished furniture store. Aside from being in the color that I love so much, the building bears a breathtaking mural by a San Francisco artist, Andrew Schoultz. [...]
