LIFESTYLE - Food Lover: Bun Mee, San Francisco

Fillmore Street is home to many great dining spots including the very unassuming Bun Mee. The Vietnamese Sandwich Eatery is small in size but packs quite a large punch when it comes to the flavors in their sandwiches and bowls.

OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION

What I want, need and must have now!

Richard Nicoll Spring 2014

Let's hear it for the boys!! The non stop fashion train continues with the Menswear shows in London happening now. As we girls always 'shop' in our men's closets, the menswear shows are a great way to get some inspiration for our masculine inspired looks that we can't get enough of. London designer, Richard Nicoll, who always does London cool so well, sent his boys down the runway wearing prints created by artist Linder Sterling. The prints are collages made with images of gay porn the artist found in a shop in Barcelona. Perfect for the pride weekend happening soon in San Francisco! Ohhh and that jacket....
