Club Monaco has finally updated their website with a few snapshots of the spring collection. Darn it…everything is perfect as always. For example, this turtleneck and jeans outfit. This is exactly what I would wear every single day of my life if I could. (As Jean knows, I already do wear this once or twice…

RavinStyle.com, the always stylish and sometimes quirky online store, has a great sale going on right now. Check out this amazing kimono sweater that would be perfect for visiting a trendy bar in the Marina when paired with some dangly earrings. Or this must-have dog carrier if you have a special teeny-tiny-pup in your life.…

Shelly passed on some adorable photos from the November and December San Francisco Ladies Activity Club parties. In November, we made raviolli from scratch and in December Jill hosted a gingerbread house party. I am so happy that the LAC is working out well. We just passed out six month mark and have great plans…

Thanks to our friends over at Acme Labs, we have the power to create digital conversation hearts of our choosing! I discovered this awesome online tool when I was making custom conversation hearts with credit card themed messages for work last week. Exercise your brain coming up with mini haikus of four-letter two-word messages. Enjoy!

Spring is here and it’s time to emerge from my wool-tweed-turtleneck cocoon and start wearing actual cute clothes again. Actual clothes like skirts and dresses. Especially, wrap dresses. DVF had it right when she started mass producing these dresses in the 1970’s. They are delightful! They are comfortable! So comfortable that it appears you can…

Uggg…I was home sick yesterday with a cold. Not feeling perky today. I believe I may have laryngitis and I have to admit my voice is kind of sultry (how’s that for silver lining!). Anyway, for the few hours I was actually awake yesterday I wanted nothing more than a big cold glass of water.…

Did you know that you can buy tickets to the San Francisco Ballet’s performance of Swan Lake for only $10? On Friday or Saturday nights, the tickets are as low as $15. Men in tights, frilly costumes, romantic story line…what more could a girl ask for! I’m going on February 1 and splurged on tickets…

Once again I have managed to not quite make it to the San Francisco Wholesale Flower Market. This is about the sixth time I have planned to go and somehow ended up off track. Oh well! My plan was to buy huge bouquets of tulips and peonies but I am settling for calla lilies instead.…

After potting my icebox tulips last night, I was left with 3/4 of a bag of pumice gravel. It’s fairly attractive stuff. I feel like there must be some way to use it instead of throwing it away. Quick, put on your Martha-Stewart-Thinking-Caps and come up with something clever! All I can think of is…

Happy National Pie Day! That’s right: “Created by the American Pie Council, National Pie Day is dedicated to the celebration of pie.” Apparently my office is very in to Pie Day. We have five pies in the kitchen (I recommend olallieberry) and I’m already on my second piece of the day. Plus, a bunch of…
