Grant Lee Phillips show

My friend was my date for the night. We grabbed dinner at Los Charros, then coffees and later caught the Grant Lee Phillips show with other pals at a local cafe. I have always really dug his music. He use to be in Grant Lee Buffalo for those of you who might remember them. His voice always reminded me of a mixture between Neil Young and Elvis. It was rad because my friend Mark was helping to work the door and stamping people. He watched the the performance with us upstairs. Grant sang a lot of songs off of his new album, "Walking in the Green Corn" The songs are very deep as he explores his mixed heritage among other things. I think a lot of people can relate to his music. He performed a song called "Fool's Gold" which we really liked. After the show he stayed a while to autograph fan's tshirts, vinyl, cds and take a few pics. He is very gracious and warm. I shook his hand and took a pic with him. He was so incredibly sweet. He played a really wonderful set and told jokes. It was a really cool show. If you like soothing, chill melodies and deep lyrics, check out his new album. It has a very cool folky, rock and soulful vibe to it.

Mountain View art and wine festival 2012

The most amazing necklaces and other jewelry by Marty Magic.

Aaah these are so cool! Love the octopus. 

We stopped by one of my favorite cafe's, Dana Street to grab some java before checking out the artists at Art and Wine festival. 

I wore jeans under my beautiful new velvet vintage dress from Wild at Heart because it was a bit cooler outside. I absolutely love the fall.  

My friend gave me her luck crystal she carries around while she travels.

One of my favorite artists there was Mark Poulin. His pieces were so indie cool but also cute. I could definitely see a lot of my friends getting into his jewelry. He has a cool shop on etsy: mamarsuperstar.etsy.com I am consistently amazed at all the cool artists etsy has. I am pretty addicted to that site as are most people I know.

These were gorgeous done by artist Paula L. Chang. I loved how light weight her jewelry was. The colors were perfectly put together and really drew me in. 

These origami artistic pieces created by Sachiyo Ueda of Origami Mommy are amazing. I love the detail and how whimsical and colorful they are. 

My friends and I took a few pics with firemen and one even invited me to a cool pancake breakfast to raise money for the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation. 

Talented musician Jose Cabezas played music and was selling these really cool flutes. My friends bought a few of them. His music is very beautiful.

We stopped by a bakery in Mountain View to get fried sesame balls.

This weekend friends from out of state visited and we went to the art and wine festival in Mountain View California. This is one of my favorite festivals. There were a lot of really cool artists this year. I was stoked to see one of my favorite artists, Marty Magic. She always has the most amazing pieces. My favorites are her dragon cuffs. I love fantasy and whimsical type jewelry so I was thrilled to see all of her new pieces. She had a lot of dragon stuff this year. The most beautiful necklaces I have ever seen as well. She also had many other themes like sea type themes, ravens, bats and other fantastical things. I was there looking for a new ear cuff when I spotted some of her rings. I am getting married soon and I love topaz stone. There were some really cool rings to choose from. She even helped pick out a ring more suitable for my wedding. I had to special order one to fit my finger and she is going to make it for me and send it later. I cant wait to see it and I will be excited to wear it on my wedding day. I love the idea of staying true to ones self and that is why I write a fashion style blog. I will have an extremely beautiful and unique ring. Thank you Marty!  If you haven't heard of her please go and check her jewelry out. She is one of the nicest and talented people I have ever met at the festivals. Check her stuff out at Marty Magic
