A Look Into My Life

I thought this would be fun way for my readers to get a sneak peek into who I am. I have included many questions that you asked me and also a few of my own facts and tidbits.

1. Where are you from?  I live in the Bay Area of California. I grew up here but have also lived in San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles, CA. I love it here. There are so many places to explore and the weather is great!

2. What do you do career wise? I am the Director of Recruiting for a financial services firm. I hire financial advisors. My job is rewarding and I love the control I have over my work, but I created the  blog so I could have an outlet for my other passions.

3. What do you do for fun? When I am not working I usually am training at Crossfit or spending time with my boyfriend and friends. We all love wine and one of our favorite things to do is to go wine tasting.

4. What is you biggest fashion pet peeve? I hate how quickly something is "in" and then "out" and you are required to spend your life savings to keep up. I believe in wearing any trend at anytime and having fun with it.

5. What is the store you shop at most? This one is tough. I shop everywhere. I tend to shop at Nordstrom, Forever 21, and Urban Outfitters a lot.

6. When did you start doing Crossfit? I have always enjoyed being active. In school I played water polo and after that I tried everything like spinning, yoga, Pilates, half marathons, and triathlons. It wasn't until I met my boyfriend that I really learned about Crossfit and got into it. I was skeptical at first and quickly realized that is was the best work out I had ever been through and I was hooked. 

7. Who’s your favorite designer? Choose 1! And why? That is so hard. I can't truly answer. However, someone in my top 5 is Stella McCartney. She designs clothes that are so versatile and are made for real women!

 8. What camera do you use? I used to use a Cannon point and shoot (when I started the blog) and for the last 8 months I was borrowing a Cannon Rebel that I loved. I am getting the Nikon D60 with a 50 mm f 1/4 lens soon (sorry Leah). 

9. What is the main goal of your blog? I have messed around on here so much and that is ok, because this is for me and something for me to enjoy. I like fashion so it will always be primarily geared to fashion, style, shopping and tips. However, it has elements of a lifestyle blog because I like to share things about me and things I love.

Sterling Style & Rock.Paper.Vintage Giveaway!-CLOSED 8PM 3/2/10

I am thrilled to announce my collaboration giveaway with Rock.Paper.Vintage one of my favorite vintage eBay stores! They always have the cutest vintage pieces that I can't help but add to my collection (like here).

Here is some background about Rock.Paper.Vintage:

 "Back in 2008, Tiffany English was like many other New Yorkers, braving the cramped subways and crowded sidewalks to work the 9-5 grind. After being told at her corporate job that she dresses too avant garde and would have to completely change her wardrobe to keep her job, she quit to start her own company doing what she truly loves.

Soon after, she started Rock.Paper.Vintage, a shopping hub on eBay for the most fantastic, one of a kind vintage fashions straight from the fashion central- New York City. Every piece Tiffany sells is hand selected- always keeping in mind the things that inspire her- from the style she sees on the streets to what's walking down the runway.

RPV is always stocked with a wide variety of  fashions ranging from the 60's through the 90's and the entire inventory changes every week with a completely new set of dresses, blouses, jackets, jumpsuits, and more. They ship world wide, fast and cheap, and are trusted for having the best customer service around"

A Touch of Whimsy

This weekend my boyfriend and I were busy starting our move into our new cottage. It has been so much fun, but so tiring. I have way too much stuff. We are trying to finish everything by next weekend. Our place is so charming. It is a cottage from the 1920's where people from San Francisco use to come down to spend sometime in the country (however it is far from country living). It is remodeled, but still is quaint. So, I am able to really have a blast trying to make our home a little like all the inspiration I have collected. Here are a few images that are in my folder and some from the past.
