Beg to Differ...

I have a love/hate relationship with Miranda Kerr. She is that girl you despise for looking like utter perfection every millisecond of her life, yet you obsess over her behind closed doors (not to mention that adorable little cherub of hers, Flynn). She was recently quoted in The Edit as not defining herself as a model. (See here). Well, my friends, I beg to differ. This girl is making an obscene amount of money from extremely lucrative contracts with fashion, cosmetic and lifestyle brands (despite not renewing her Victoria's Secret contract) and looking flawless is her job. Time to own it, Miranda.

A great reminder to take time away from both the workplace and technology courtesy of The Edit. Arianna Huffington often gets a lot of scrutiny but I really adore her. (Click on the image to zoom).

Da-Da

A great little snippet in T&C with recommendations for Dad. While I wouldn't put my Father in the "Fashionable Father" category, he certainly does have a signature look and can look shiny as a new penny with a few "encouragements" from his daughters and wife. He would certainly prefer a new toy for the boat over any article of clothing, but I love shopping for men's clothing and might just let the above guide me accordingly...A special shout out to my friends at La Matera, keep killing it, fellas! The special day for Dad is this Sunday!

About Town: Aveline

Last Friday marked the opening of the highly anticipated restaurant Aveline, part of the Warwick San Francisco Hotel's renovation. Behind the restaurant is Chef Casey Thompson, Season Three Top Chef finalist and US Ambassador for Terrazas de los Andes, a Moet-Hennessey brand. The menu is Californian in style, (see above) and the restaurant's interior is clean, inviting, yet formal.  Think glassed-in wine cellar, leather banquettes, lacquered moldings, and modern place settings. Conveniently, Aveline is just a hop, skip and jump away from my office. An in-person investigation just might be in order...
