Yearly Archives: 2007

I recently bought a black jacket almost exactly like this Forever21 version. It’s great worn open over a solid colored dress with a long necklace and heels. A nice way to keep wearing those sleeveless dresses once it starts getting colder! PS: I’m wearing it today with a green dress and it is actually the…

Rob and I planned a last minute dinner out with friends yesterday afternoon. After work, we dashed home, dropped off the car and walked down to 18th and Dolores for dinner at Delfina. This bustling little neighborhood is home to foodie-favorites Tartine Bakery, Bi-Rite Market and Bi-Rite Creamery. We arrived a little early, allowing some…

I browsed through the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar at the nail spa on Sunday and got a major case of fall fever. Here’s what’s on my must buy list for the next couple weeks: A pair of black tweed lined wide leg trousers. Think Hepburn. Bright colored low heels and flats for work. A…

Every year, I like to make a “gift” for the LAC anniversary party. Last year, it was white pencils marked with our club name. This year, notepads! I just finished the print order for these yellow and blue notepads (the yellow isn’t so “mustardy” in real life). I can’t wait to see how they come…

Hooray! This was my first paint project that wasn’t a complete disaster! And it fit neatly into the rest of my weekend plans. Friday night, Rob and I met Matt at the climbing gym. We roped up for an hour or so and I did a 10b onsight! Back at home at 7-ish to rest…

This week has been really, really busy at work. But in a nice way. I’m left feeling successful, important and good at my job. How often does that happen? Here’s what I learned: San Francisco is a lot of fun during a heat wave! Which Fringe Festival show will I go see tonight? You Go…

I had a “love at first click” moment this morning. Jill from ink*drop posted photos from the Charlotte Moss Townhouse. I started drooling right when this blue velvet (suede?) sofa appeared. It must be some sort of pavlovian response left over from the summer I spent hunting for the perfect blue corduroy sofas with my…

My week-o-cute continues today with a fresh new make-up look. Following Blueprint Magazine’s guidance, I’m rocking the navy eyeliner and raspberry lips. This combo is perfect for my blue eyes, dark hair and freckled skin. I feel like a J.Crew ad! Today’s lipstick is Raspberry Glace from Clinique (Thanks to Jean who passed this down…

Don’t you hate it when you find a great dress but then can’t figure out what to wear it with? I’m actually in a dark teal Club Monaco number today that I just found a cropped jacket to match. Here’s Alyson’s request: Next Saturday (15th), I’ll be attending my cousin’s wedding in Philadelphia, and need…

I’m in full “back to school” mode this week. I’ve been putting together extra cute outfits to wear to work. I’ve cleaned off my desk. Restocked with pencils, pens and post-its from the supply closet. Now it’s time to buy a few new fun supplies of my own. I like to keep some nice stationary…
