Yearly Archives: 2006

It is so hot outside! According to the weather reports San Francisco is in the mid-eighties today and I am wilting like a southern flower. I am so bad about dealing with the heat. I never know what to wear (I changed outfits five times this morning) and have a tendency to get heat stroke…

Jean and I were waiting for the fashionably late guests to arrive and browsing through Domino Magazine last night. Being utterly fabulous, of course all the apartments featured have monogrammed sheets. Jean was drooling over the monograms so I decided to do a little online research for her: West Elm – Really cheap sheet sets…

In San Francisco, you can never have too many coats! My hunt for good outerwear continues all summer long! At kickball a few weeks ago, I saw a girl wearing an adorable white cropped peacoat. Her coat was trimmed with green stitching and probably came from a tiny boutique on Hayes. I asked Jean to…

Oh Gump’s! Why do you have to be such a wonderful purveyor of expensive goods? I am currently obsessed with these peony decoupage plaques from your online store. I know that it is completely unreasonable to pay $135 for one of these to hang in my bathroom. Yet…I still want it. And maybe this turquoise…

I felt like such a PTA parent last night! Jean came over around 7:00 and we proceeded to bake around 100 cupcakes for her Ladies Activity Club Party tonight. One batch each of chocolate, white, funfetti and toxically-pink strawberry cake! Our measuring wasn’t very even and we burned a few cupcakes (and a few fingers),…

L’Occitane is my all time favorite soap/lotion/candle store! But their normal prices could make a sailor blush. Take advantage of one of their rare sales to stock up on your favorite French goods. On their site, you can even sort by percentage discount! The deals are incredible: Guest soaps (sold out) – Box of 12…

The June Ladies Activity Club party is tomorrow! Jean is hosting a cupcake decorating event for about 12 of the members. We have a lot of baking to do tonight in preparation. Jean also just sent over a few photos from last month’s LAC party. Betsy hosted the May bowling event at Yerba Buena Lanes.…

What a perfect weekend! The weather was lovely, we threw a party and I had some wonderful time to relax. It all started with the “Evening Brunch” party on Friday night. A quiet dinner for four quickly turned into eight (and we almost had ten). Bloody mary’s and bagels with lox were set out for…

Oh my! Could the weather outside possibly be any nicer? We don’t get many days like this in San Francisco…I need to get out there and enjoy it! Anyway, let’s get on with this week’s urban girl lessons: If Safeway is crowded and you just need cash back, go to the Starbucks counter and buy…

Visit the Asian Art Museum for free this Saturday or Sunday. The museum is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary this weekend and opening it’s doors to the public for free. This is a fabulous museum! Wear sneakers because it is huge and plan on having lunch in their great cafe. Also, the gift shop has some…
