If there’s ever been anyone I have met who lives by the phrase “It’s all about attitude,” it would be fashion stylist Karen Tamblyn. Every outfit she chooses—whether it’s a casual, graphic tee paired with rolled up boyfriend jeans or a daring, red-carpet gown—she wears with the utmost flair.
With San Francisco’s gala season upon us, it seemed only fitting that I feature the Peruvian-born globe-trotter, who not only dresses some of the city’s most social of butterflies, but is also known to flit around town on the party circuit herself. In between attending social events and running her styling business, Tamblyn works on occasion as a correspondent for publications in Chile and Ecuador and she recently launched an eponymous women’s wear line of hand-woven pieces made from Peruvian baby alpaca fleece.
Always energetic and effervescent, Tamblyn was eager to share the scoop on her favorite outfit and her fierce fashion picks from near and far.

What I’m Wearing: A custom feather dress designed by Haydee Silveira of Peru.Yves Saint Laurent bronze Tribute pumps. Roberto Cavalli snake bracelets and ring. Kunzite and Aqua Marina Row diamond ring by Rosalina Lydster.
Why this is my favorite outfit:

“I would wear the dress as a top with a pair of jeans for a sophisticated casual look.”
