Bloggers We Love: Chelsea Salle
Name: Chelsea
Sallee
Blog: A Bit Of Sass
Age: 30 (eeeek, I’m still not used to that
number!)
City: San
Francisco, CA (but my heart belongs to SoCal – San Diego, Santa Monica and
Santa Barbara)
Day Job: Fashion & Lifestyle Publicist
How would you define
your style?
Sophisticated but laid back California girl with an edge.
What is currently
inspiring your style?
I’ve always been inspired by Kate Moss’ style – it is so effortless
yet cool and glamorous looking. Taylor Tomasi Hill and Charlize Theron are also
stylistas that I look to for inspiration.
What is your favorite
item in your closet?
This is a rough one….I would have to say my black skinny
jeans from 7 for All Mankind. They are super flattering and I wear them
everywhere from work to errands to clubs.
What is the one thing
you wish was in your closet?
A Rick Owens leather jacket
Shoes, bags, or
jewels?
SHOES!! Even though I usually end up wearing the same few
pairs over and over again each season, I never feel I have enough, lol!
What is your favorite
place to shop?
I LOVE Zara! I always find something fun to wear there. When
I need something special and have a bit more to spend I go straight to
Barney’s. I’m also a big fan of Nordstrom – you just can’t beat the easy returns.
What is your favorite
online shopping site?
I am definitely more of an online shopper. My favorite sites
are Shopbop, Gilt, MyHabit and Forward by Elyse Walker
What is your best
style/fashion tip?
Stay true to your personal style – don’t try to dress a
certain way or wear a certain trend that isn’t who you are because you will
feel uncomfortable and therefore look uncomfortable.
What was your
inspiration for starting your blog?
I moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles fall of 2011 (for
my fiance’s job) and I was looking for an outlet to express my creativity and
meet people while searching for a job. Blogging was the one thing that made me
feel connected in a city full of strangers.
What is the one thing
you love most about the city you live in?
The city is still new to me so there are countless places to
explore. I love that there are so many unique neighborhoods with completely
different vibes.
Where is the best
place to brunch in your city?
To be honest, my fiancé and I aren’t really morning
people. When we do make it to
brunch we like Balboa Café in the Marina. Firehouse in Soma is good before a
Giants day game. Usually though, our “brunch” is champagne and gourmet picnic
snacks in Dolores park on warm weekends.
Beverage of choice?
COFFEE!! If you’re not shaking, you need another cup;) lol.
Of course if you are talking about alcohol I never turn down a good glass of
champagne.

Bloggers We Love: Hallie Wilson
Name: Hallie Wilson
Blog: Corals + Cognacs
Age: 27
City: New York City
Day Job: Account services/social media strategist
How would you define your style?
Attainable yet experimental. I’m constantly clad in
unexpected pairings – like mixed prints, lots of layers, or statement pumps and a vintage
tee. You’re welcome to check
out more of my looks here.
What is currently inspiring your style? Monochromatic ensembles, streamlined silhouettes and
anything striped.
What is your favorite item in your closet? Currently,
my 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli. I
worked hard for it! All-time fave goes to the vintage Gucci
clutch I thrifted for $40.
What is the one thing you wish was in your
closet? A classic pair of
nude Louboutins.
Shoes, bags, or jewels? Shoes!
What is your favorite place to shop? Zara
What is your favorite online shopping site? Shopbop for designer finds, J. Crew for
structured separates and Bauble Bar for jewelry.
What is your best style/fashion tip? Always have a safety pin on-hand.
What was your inspiration for starting your
blog? I used to work in
market research, where my job was very data-oriented. I started corals +
cognacs as a creative outlet where I’d hoped
my day-to-day styling efforts and arguably unacceptable collection of shoes
would be better comprehended.
You can read more on that here.
What is the one thing you love most about
the city you live in? I moved here about a month ago and I've been in exploration mode ever
since. I touched on this in a recent blog post, but I’d have to say constantly meeting new
people and re-connecting with old friends. New York is truly the city that
never sleeps!
Where is the best place to brunch in your
city? Oh gosh, I
think it’s still too soon to tell! I recently went to Buttermilk Channel in
Brooklyn and loved it – oyster in my Bloody Mary? The bar has been set!
Beverage of choice? Prosecco.
