Frida Kahlo Series: Oaxaca Tiara

Bix Restaurant is a classy retro supper club situated on a small yet romantic alleyway in Jackson Square. It is renowned for its old-fashioned cocktails and elegant atmosphere, while offering customers live jazz on a nightly basis. The piece pictured here is called the Oaxaca Tiara.

Frida Kahlo Tiara Series: Inmaculada Tiara

These photos are actually taken right behind the boutique in Jackson Square. The old brick buildings have an industrial feel and inspired me to use the street as a backdrop for a series of photos displaying each of the three Frida Kahlo head ornaments. This is the first set, showing the Inmaculada Tiara.

La Boutique's Shourouk Exposition!

I'm back from the exposition at La Boutique in San Francisco and I have some pictures from the event. I met a lot of great people and had the opportunity to explore the city as well. The first photo shows the owner of La Boutique, Carole Harari, and I. Carole was so nice, giving me a warm welcome and taking the time to show me around the city and make sure I was taken care of. I am grateful to have had such a great hostess!

Here is the interior of the boutique. The decorations were a combination of industrial and minimalist elements. The boutique is located in Jackson Square, a historic neighborhood filled with brick buildings built in California's gold rush era that managed to survive the 1906 earthquake.

For the exhibitions, Carole included portraits of Frida Kahlo, my inspiration for the tiara below this photo, which was actually designed exclusively for the exposition (I will post the pictures of the tiara being worn tomorrow.)

Many of the photos we've posted are thanks to Julie Michelle, who runs a website about San Francisco that gives a unique look into the city through the eyes of its residents using her creative photography and the stories of those she encounters. You can read more on her project online at I Live Here SF.

As you can probably tell by the pictures, I had a great time at the exposition! Thanks again to Carole Harari and her husband for inviting me, to Zoey and Chloe for the decorations and to everyone at La Boutique who made it such a great event!
