Oh the shame! I was joking with a friend this afternoon about picking up the perfect outfit at Brooks Brothers for an upcoming wedding. He’s the type that if I saw him wearing a double breasted blue blazer, I would die laughing. Before closing the site, I decided to peek around. Here’s where it gets…

Best cookies ever! I always try to keep a box of Carr’s Ginger Lemon Creme Cookies at home for unexpected guests. The ginger cookie is just the right amount of spicy and the lemon filing isn’t too sweet. You can buy these cookies at Trader Joe’s or Amazon.com.

The weather is great here in San Francisco and city’s mood has improved significantly. People are so much happier when it stops raining. It’s been a great week in the city. Here are some things I learned: A bright coral manicure from Dolci is a lot of fun. I heart Jill Bliss. Headbands! Week two…

After our kickball game last night, the whole team headed down to Bar None on Union Street. We definitely didn’t blend in with the usual Marina crowd wearing our “safety orange” t-shirts! After too many rounds of flip cup (Jean and Shelly are the MVP’s) and a Kamikaze shot, I’m feeling a little icky and…

For some reason I am feeling an extreme desire to be French today. Maybe it is the silk scarf in my hair or the fact that French people don’t miss their MUNI bus to work…every…single…day. Anyways, I think the only way I can satiate my French addiction today is to do a little shopping. Jean’s…

Jean and I worked on homemade cards last night at her apartment. I love nothing more than getting down-n-dirty with construction paper and glue sticks! Using these pre-packaged blank note cards, we made Mother’s Day cards and thank you notes. I wish I had taken a photo before mailing them off! Simple cut outs of…

Both Hold Everything and The Container Store are having big spring cleaning sales right now. I recommend that you pick up some storage boxes to keep things organized in your closets. I use these boxes from the Container Store to stash art supplies, stationary, tools and photos in my tiny hall closet. If I were…

I think all that sun and warm weather outside is really messing with my head. I just adore these shoes from gojane.com (thanks BudgetDiva!). They are totally impractical and I will probably wear them approximately twice, but for $19 I had to go with my gut. Wouldn’t they be so cute with pair of dark…

One of my favorite things about San Francisco is the flower vendors downtown who sell gardenia corsages on the street for $1. When I used to visit the city, I always made a habit of buying one to pin on my sweater. On my way to the Supperclub party last weekend, I picked up a…

This week’s theme is apparently “spring cleaning.” With the weather taking a turn for the best (finally), I have been feeling ambitious about getting my apartment in order. We talked about freshening up your light fixtures yesterday, today we’re going to talk about adding some art to your walls. I received the Mixed Greens catalog…
