Rob has photos of my most recent craft project up on his blog today. For our end of season “prom” I made two sets of bowties and corsages from kickball rubber. They are sewn together using a leatherwork needle and embroidery floss. Oh yeah…I can tell that you are super impressed!

A cute home decoration store in the design district is currently having a 50% off warehouse sale at the corner of 15th and Utah. Great deals on asian pottery, stationary, candles, small furniture, books and more. I just picked up two copper glazed mugs, an 80-hour candle, a large glass vase, three small glass vases…

Williams Sonoma officially owns my soul. I was too tempted by their store in the marina this past weekend and ended up buying this super expensive pumpkin bread pan. I figure I can use it through November for bread, cakes, and aspic. Even now…looking at the photo…I can feel the temptation. So, tonight will be…

Although this is the warmest week yet in San Francisco, coat shopping season has officially arrived. It’s tricky finding a good coat in California so I am often stuck shopping online for a fall coat. Luckily, La Redoute has some really great options this year. From trench coats to wool walking coats, the site has…

As I expected, we didn’t quite cross off everything on our weekend activity list. On Sunday morning the darling boyfriend and I took the train up to Haight and bought a longboard. Since it was such a beautiful day in Golden Gate Park, we spent the morning exploring on the skateboard. Plus, the skateboard we…

Why have a landline and a cell phone these days? Like most 25 year olds I know, I only have a cell phone. This is great 90% of the time, but long phone calls with friends back in Southern California can be difficult on a tiny cell. Here’s a possible solution from Elsewares. These classic…

I officially reached the 100 post marker today! Way to go EmilyStyle.com!
