We Love: BEER!

2008-08-26T09:46:00.000-07:00

So, we're working on a new secret project... We can't reveal too much just yet, but we can say that the it is very tasty! Our lovely advertising agency, Periera & O'Dell, was kind enough to host a taste test of the new product last week — here are some of the photos:

(Can you guess what it is? Oh, yeah: beer!)

We've been quite busy lately and wanted to give you a sneak peek at what we've been working on: our fall catalog. Our advertising agency, Pereira & O'Dell, made everything happen (oh man, they're great) — We had Luis Hernandez photographing our lovely model, Janna, while Elevation Salon handled hair + make-up, and we played stylist.

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot in Marin:

Newsy News: ORGANIC for CFDA

2008-08-08T09:53:00.000-07:00

The finalists for this year's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund were announced recently and one of our best-loved lines, John Patrick's Organic, made the list! Out of 100 candidates, the organization picks the ten strongest, who are then in a running for as much as $200,000.

Here are a couple of looks from Organic's fall 2008 collection that we'll have in store for fall:

The winners of the cash prize will be announced in November.

We'll keep our fingers crossed for John Patrick — Until then, come by and shop Organic!

We Love: La Ville-lumière

2008-08-05T09:57:00.001-07:00

Ladurée, the greatest macaroons ever

After a recent buying trip, we decided to pay homage to one of our favorite

cities by sharing a few pictures we snapped during our much-too-short trip to

the City of Lights, or more properly, la Ville-lumière.

We absolutely love the macaroons from the Parisian tea salon, Ladurée.

The shops are adorable. Our favorite area is le Marais, so here are a couple

pictures of places we frequent each time we're in Paris.

Fall Trend: Mix & Match

2008-08-01T12:20:00.000-07:00

The fall runways were full of color and wild prints, and we loved every bit of it. Some of the most exciting prints and combinations were seen at Thakoon's show, but Peter Som had some pretty wild prints thrown into the mix of a much more subdued collection than normal. Here are a few of our favorites from both of their collections:

We Love: Rick Owens

2008-07-25T11:10:00.000-07:00

We have fallen in love with Rick Owens' gorgeously tailored, easy-to-wear pieces. So much so that we put in an order for Rick Owens' LILIES resort 2009 collection! Expect to see it in store late fall.

Here are a few pictures from the spring 2008 collection to give you an idea of how incredible the line is:

In Store: Kaufman Franco

We Love: Kara's Cupcakes

2008-06-27T14:28:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't love cupcakes? Exactly. We love them so much we turn to the lovely Kara of the infamous Kara's Cupcakes every week for our cupcake fix – Carrot cupcakes, of course!

If you're in the need for sweet sugar snacks and not able to come by the shop for some crazy reason, pop by Kara's cute shops in the Marina or Ghirardelli Square for her killer cupcakes.

The duo behind the brand — cuties Perry and Oliver — create graphics inspired by movements and icons from pop culture, like French fashion icon Francoise Hardy and the late poet-cum-musician-cum-actor Serge Gainsbourg. Oui oui!

Shop Your Closet!

2008-05-15T06:41:00.000-07:00

Melanie Charlton Fascitelli was welcomed at Carrots last night for the San Francisco launch of her new book Shop Your Closet…the ultimate style guide to organizing your closet and perfecting your wardrobe. The intimate affair was toasted with champagne, carrot cupcakes and smart closet conversations!

Melanie is young, energetic and quite the fashionista herself, which is all very reflective in her book. She arrived to the event wearing a chic fushcia colored Narciso Rodriguez dress with black mary-janes by Christian Louboutin.

Every woman should own one of these books to learn the tools of how to shop in your own closet everyday! The book helps to efficiently utilize your closet space while getting the most out of everything you have. Melanie’s fascinating skills continue as she travels the world building out retail stores, designing private closets, and consulting wardrobes for a variety of consumers and closets.

Come by CARROTS and pick up your copy of Shop Your Closet to get the most out of your wardrobe!
