If you were particularly clever, you could probably arrange to attend a free cocktail party every single night in San Francisco. There’s always an event planner or PR person somewhere with a bottle of champagne and a clipboard. Last night, Calie invited me to a Mont Blanc store opening reception co-sponsored by San Francisco Magazine…

San Francisco is such a fun city for visitors. Sandra is coming in October with a toddler and some big plans: Here is my fashion dilemma. I used to be a corporate-y type person, then went back to grad school to study psychology and now am the mom of a toddler. In 3 weeks I…

One my favorite scores from last weekend’s shopping bonanza! This DVF Cassidy jersey wrap dress is simple enough for work and can easily be dressed up for dinner out or even a wedding. I wore it Monday with a black trench for my DMV appointment and photo. The dress retails for $300+, I found it…

Nicole and I both fell in love with these flats at Nordstrom Rack. She got a pair in gray and I bought a pair in purple for $39 each. I’ve admired Nine West’s Gain flats since I saw someone wearing a pair in green crocodile with jeans a few months back. The buckle is fun…

Of all the requests I get, I am most consistently stumped by formal and semiformal weddings. Largely, because they’re super rare out here in California.

Along with my super discounted Joe’s Jeans from Nordstrom Rack, I also bought a pair at Macy’s with the Passport discount. I think they were Citizens of Humanity Ingrid #002 jeans in the Big Sur wash. The dark color is perfect (none of that weird “I sat in bleach” like Seven Jeans) and they have…

Yikes, I just took a look at my credit card bill after this weekend’s shopping marathon. I’m not going to be buying any new clothes for at least a couple weeks. In the meantime, I’m trying to find links to some of my favorite purchases. These Easy Spirit suede wedges are so adorable and really,…

Even by my crazy standards, this was a jam-packed weekend. Nicole arrived in the city at 5:30, just as it started to rain (so much for my prediction that the storm had passed). We drove home and finished the last of the party prep. LAC guests arrived at 7:00. After drinks and food, we got…

I’m at the DMV this morning. Be back soon 🙂

Summer is back in San Francisco after our brief winter preview. It’s shaping up to be a very nice weekend. A nice relief after a busy week. Here’s what I learned: You can’t just wear any old thing to an engagement photo shoot. A big wind storm is sort of scary at four in the…
