I am beside myself with anticipation for tonight’s 30 Rock premier. Liz Lemon! Jack Donaghy! Kenneth! Tracy! Pete! 8:30! If you haven’t yet watched it, go online right now. All 20 episodes from last season are there waiting for you. If you start now, you can almost get through all six hours in time for…

{Still mad itchy. But now with a hangover too! Rob and I went out last night to Danny Coyle’s and our favorite Ethiopian restaurant with some out-of-town co-workers.} A basic, classic strand of pearls can be surprisingly hard to wear. Here is Shannon’s request: My husband bought me a stand of pearls (18″, I think)…

{I’m still crazy-itchy today, but here’s a what to wear post to tide you over.} The key to getting seated in a good row for a show taping? My guess would be bold colors in neutral, Peoria-friendly pieces. Here is Melissa’s request: My boyfriend and I found out we got tickets to the Ellen DeGeneres…

I spent yesterday afternoon at the doctor’s office having my spots examined from arms length. No official verdict yet. But my doctor is leaning toward some sort of children’s virus like roseola. After literally tossing a handful of Zyrtec samples at me and shooing me out of his office, I had to get six vials…

I loved my old purse, an ivory Michael Kors hobo, for many reasons. The built in key strap was one of my favorites. It was so nice to have my keys ready and clipped in whenever I needed them. After a year of city life, the poor purse was more than ready to be retired.…

This weekend started with an office party at Cha Cha Cha on Mission Street. Pitchers of sangria and plenty of calamari, not too shabby! Rob and I caught a cab home around 10 and turned in shortly thereafter. We woke up early on Saturday morning because Rob had to go to his NERT training. After…

I love getting requests that are more casual. Party dresses are fun, but it’s nice to pick out basics once in a while. Here is Catherine’s request: I wonder if you can help me. I am a stay at home Mum of four boys and I live in Vermont. It is that time of year…

This was a long, strange week. The weather was moody: cold, hot and then back to cold. And it seems like that moodiness rubbed off on everyone else. Here’s what I learned: The San Francisco DMV isn’t really that bad. Make an appointment online, go early in the morning and wear something cute. It would…

Beach weddings conjure up images of flowing, soft cotton colors. Formal weddings? Bold colors and structured. So what do you wear to a formal wedding at the beach? Here is Griselda’s request: I’m emailing you because I am in need of outfit advice for my husband’s uncle’s wedding coming up in late October in Southern…

My birthday is still a healthy four weeks away, but I already have one thing picked out for my wishlist. This spider necklace from Betsey Johnson would be perfect for wearing around Halloween. The photo doesn’t really do it full justice.
