Select model

Clothes look better on real persons. They are actually designed to be on real persons.

I'm looking for models. Need to start casting, shortly but surely !

Ships that pass in the night.

"Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence."
This is something I found from Henry Wardsworth Longfellow.

To the last captain out there, I have to say I enjoy the passing.The passing and our memories won't fade away.Until we pass each over again and add another coat of memories to carry on. I collect brief and intense moments. Happy sailing!

Color of Love.

I was about to wear black. Had a couple of meetings and errands around town and I was supposed to look fashion-pro.
Decided the color of love would be the best color to wear. It turned out my day was full of Love.

Stage

A day at the museum and a night at the theater. My kind of recreation time.
.SF MOMA is officially closed since 10 days for 3 years. Glad I made it on time at the end of may.
.I finally made it to the Castro Theater. It's pretty inside and out.

The Dawn of a New day

My new bracelet.

Last night a wrist met a laughing skull...

Finally finished this and loving it. 

A "rock and love" piece you can pick at the store, out of other beautiful things.

You complete me.

June  2010 ❤ June 2013 ! 3 years and counting...

I still remember the day that plane landed in SF from Sao Paolo, 4 years ago. I literally came in the city like a tourist, with a backpack full of travelling memories, a couple of (no more useful) bikinis, my Havaianas and my broken English with a french accent : that was February 3rd 2009. I soon switched the bikinis for some thick sweaters and my Havaianas for tall leather boots. 

About a year after, finally living the SF life as a "local",  I met my store. It was the cutest location I ever found... Time flies and I thank God for great things that happened at 101 Pierce Street. It's truly my pleasure to celebrate 3 years at the store: it's huge ! This is magic, this is all I wanted ! It's more than happiness.

Owning a business comes with a certain amount of difficulties <kind of "everestic"> I still have mountains to climb but I'm doing the best I can to enjoy the ascension, embracing all challenges it takes to overpassed, on the way to success. A bit like in a relationship, you need love and devotion. Now that 3 years have passed, I can see new beginning(s) comming around my corner ! June 2013 don't you think June 2010 sounds just like... yesterday ?? Anyhow...Happy 3 years anniversary dear Aline's Closet ! And wishing for many more years to count.

I also want to thank all my clients, neighbors, friends and family for their amazing constant support. Without you, this dream has no reality. Here is to many more years of....Fun ! Because let's face it, at the end of the day what matters is loving what you do so you can have fun doing what you love ! The store completes me and makes me so happy ! 

It's maybe time to write a book...A "small" book of achievement, about a "little" girl and a "tiny" shop!

We will drink champagne, play dress up and dance in the Closet. More. Soon. Stay tuned ! 

Love,

Aline.
