As promised, images of Alisha Trimble's dresses as modeled by Kelly Tunstall and Meleksah. Photographed by Cutest Burger, Ben Mayorga and styled by yours truly, Maria G. Some accessories provided by Rebecca of Venus Superstar.
Can you tell that Alisha uses the finest fabrics? The two plaid numbers modeled by Kelly are fashioned from genuine Chanel yardage. All of these pieces were taken directly to Venus Superstar to be sold. Get down there girls!

So we didn't get any photos of Tussle or Donuts, but they were there...sprinkled, cream filled, maple icing, all in the house. The girl pictured above throws the Donuts night at The Knockout. There were plenty of people in black or wearing jeans. If you are reading this you may already to hip to the fact that we don't take a lot of photos of people in jeans or all black. Now a black Puch with Nike swooshes adorning the gas tank we can be down with. This little moped was so souped up it almost looked dangerous.

San Francisco is a casual city. We like it when people play dress up, especially on a daily basis. We hope that Cuteness Burger and similar blogs are inspiring readers to bust out adventurous new looks for themselves. It doesn't take a big budget if you have creativity and nothing stands out more than confidence. Get out there and rock it Cuteness Burgers!
Bodo Sperlein. File his name in the mental rolodex. He's a British designer specializing in porcelain. He recently paired up with Spanish porcelain mogul, LLadro to create Re-Cyclos Magical. Sperlein is the first outside artist to team up with Lladro and what a perfect first! Lladro is known for figurines...figurines that sentanagerians consider lovely. Bodo's contributions are beyond lovely. They are graceful, timeless object's d'arte. The cuff links would be a perfect gift for a bride groom on his wedding day - luxe, classic and none too pricey at $125.
This is Bodo's pop hit. That's right, he designed the Agent Provocateur bottle.

We caught this handsome young man was walking across the street in Union Square. We love his hipster intellectual look and the way his shoes are the same color as his hair. He could go almost anywhere in this outfit without being over or under dressed. Isn't that the goal?
The golden shoes ($50) are one of my favorite scores from Tokyo. They came from a shop called Romantic Standard where we went a little crazy. We love that they put them in a plastic bag rather than a big bulky box. The gold and black lacquer necklace ($10) came from a little flea market in Kawasaki. Lastly, the reflective shoes in action, on the heals of super-hot pink tights ($10) which came from a shop in Shibuya-ku. The lesson here is that Tokyo isn't as pricey as people say and pink+gold=CUTENESS!
