I don’t follow NY’s Fashion Week that closely, but there are a few notable ups and downs already. Basically, everything from Diane Von Furstenberg and Tuleh gets my thumbs up and everything from DKNY (so very 1992) and Baby Phat (I feel a little icky just writing it) gets a big thumbs down. The thing…

San Francisco is such a wonderful city. Full of fog, beer, music, art, parks, kickball, fashion and more. It also happens to be a city full of crazy people and “alternative lifestyles” (the kind that make even midget polygamists do a double take). There are so many people to keep life in this city interesting…

$48 is definitely too much for a few pieces of wood that hold your shoes…right? Especially if each cedar shoe rack only holds four pairs of shoes and you would need three racks at least to even make a dent in the close. Thank jesus for the internet! A quick Froogle search turns up some…

Last week I found out that Rob’s soon-to-be-nephew is a boy and is going to be named Nathaniel. That meant it was time to finally finish the embroidery project I started for the baby back in December. Using an inexpensive fleece blanket from Old Navy, I embroidered his initials (NR) surrounded by water lilies and…

Jean and Trent invited us out last night to Mad Dog in the Fog for trivia night. Between the burritos, rowdy crowd and pitchers of beer, it was altogether an excellent time. Lower Haight certainly knows how to party! Rob and I left before the final rounds, I wonder how our team finished? Did “Still…

It’s supposed to rain on Saturday, making this weekend the perfect time to create your valentines. Homemade valentines (like Easter Trees) are a Williams family tradition. Even my non-crafty mom breaks out the doilies and stickers for Valentine’s Day. Martha Stewart always has the best ideas for making your own cards. This year, they suggest…

Jean and I had a fabulous time at the ballet last night. For the record, going to see a performance at the War Memorial Opera House is one of my all time favorite things. The marble steps, the gold entry hall, the coat check, the ushers, the multiple intermissions, the Irish coffee, the works! Last…

What the hell is going on with the weather today?! It was fine this morning, just a little drizzly. But now the whole city is engulfed in a massive, impenetrable fog bank. San Francisco is no stranger to fog, but this is some kind of mutant, man-eating fog. Don’t believe me? Check it out for…

Luella Bartley’s collection for Target arrived online today and I just had to snatch up this crazy dress for $39 (sorry, sold out). It may make a great Christmas card photo outfit one day. I also picked up this bracelet that has a nice artistic vibe to it.

Yikes. It’s been a while since I had a disastrous hair cut. Looks like my luck finally ran out yesterday. Wanting to change my look (and mostly change my stylist), I had an appointment yesterday with a brand new salon. The stylist was soo careful about choosing the red colors and was meticulous with the…
