Is it really June 1 today?! How wonderful! Doesn’t that make you want to put on your best summer dress, a white cardigan and have a chicken salad and iced tea lunch in the sun? It even feels like June today. I woke early when a mockingbird started singing on my fire escape, put on…

Do you remember watching maple seeds flutter down to the ground as a kid? For some reason, watching these seeds fall is one my most vivid memories of being a kid in Davis during late summer. These seeds are so aerodynamic that they can be used to study physics and calculus. Thanks to E. Amey…

When you are having a bad day, you sometimes just need to spoil yourself in order to break out of the funk. After missing the bus and breaking my sunglasses this morning, the rest of my day has been rather sour. Chocolates and lattes would be nice, but for me it’s all about the cheese.…

I can’t be the only one who feels this way…I am a Domino Magazine subscriber and, although I like this mag’s design ideas and tips, I am starting to hate it. You see, Domino loves to feature the same breed of wealthy and fabulous young women in each issue. 27 year old interior designers, business…

One of my most frequent cravings is for a cobb salad. It’s the thing I always order on a menu in a strange restaurant! Mmm. I could go for a cobb salad and an iced tea right now! For dinner this weekend, I made a huge cobb salad following my “secret recipe.” I’m not sure…

My friend Nicole has recently entered her dog in the Old Navy mascot contest. Almost 120,000 dogs are entered in this contest already. Mojito should have a good chance at winning. He is the cutest long-haired chihuhua I know! Here’s a link to his Old Navy profile. Go Mojito!

Bliss is spending the weekend in a bikini, sweater and pair of jeans! I bought this featherweight cotton sweater in honeydew from J. Crew on Saturday and wore in Sausalito on Monday (remember your student ID for a discount at J. Crew). Paired with a bright bikini, a white tank, comfy old jeans, big sunglasses…

I didn’t think this city could be more fun that Bay to Breakers last weekend. Boy, was I wrong! Memorial Day weekend was by far the best weekend we’ve had so far! Saturday morning, Jean and I went on a shopping extravaganza downtown. Zara, Macy’s, Club Monaco, Nordstrom and lunch at Boudin before heading over…

Isn’t this pin just lovely? It’s about an inch wide and on sale for $400 from FayCullen.com According to the site, it was “made in England circa 1880-1890.” I know, brooches are technically so very “fall 2004.” But how can something so perfect be out of fashion. I love the idea of this broach on…

The windy weather in San Francisco this week has kicked up a big allergy storm. Along with sneezing, I’ve also been rocking some new spring outfits and having a lot of fun. Here are some of the lessons I learned this week: It takes a few days to recover from Bay to Breakers. Vintage style…
