My great-grandmother’s lace wedding dress is too delicate to last the whole evening. Especially, with all the festivities we have planned! So I need to find something fun and bridal to change into after dinner. Here are some contender: 1. Maggy London – I’m not sure that I have the curves for this dress, but…

Last weekend Rob and I photographed a very fancy wedding. A bridal party of 14. Designer gowns. Vintage Rolls Royce. Private club. Sit-down dinner. Sterling silver. Event planner. Calligraphy. Etc. It was amazing. While my own wedding budget is nowhere near their stratospheric range, I think I can glean a couple of ideas: Do Floral…

Ever since August Rush, which was cheesetastic and awesome, I’ve had a bit of an obsession with Keri Russell. Her curly hair is always the perfect balance between wild and tamed. How does she do that? (seriously, if you ever read something about how she does it you have to send it to me). Plus,…

We’ve added a couple days in Northern Arizona to the honeymoon itinerary. It looks like there are loads of nice places to stay in Sedona but it is hard to get a good read online. Have you been before? Resort recommendations? Tips?

Mad props to Ikea’s turbo durable Svepa glasses. We’ve had these indestructible glases for almost five years. Especially, impressive considering that they’re $6 for a dozen. That’s cheaper than oranges! I’m thinking it might be time to upgrade to something a little more minimal and versatile. Something along the lines of these simple Zac glasses…

There’s a new hotel opening across the bridge from San Francisco this summer. It seems like it will be fun! A developer has taken over the old military base, Fort Baker, and is scheduled to open in June. Cavallo Point is going to have 142 rooms, some in historic military housing, a spa, wedding facilities…

I love Mexican food! We eat it most days at home. Simple bean or egg tacos are so easy and they’re pretty healthy with small corn tortillas, pico de gallo and red cabbage. Fish tacos are also easy to make with frozen mahi mahi from Trader Joe’s. For Cinco de Mayo tonight, I think I’ll…

This was a weekend full of a lot of work and also a lot of celebrating. On Friday, Margaret came up from the peninsula for dinner (Burgermeister) and to spend the night (so she could go shopping early in the morning). It was a good time! On Saturday morning, we had oatmeal, oranges and coffee…

This has been a whirlwind week. Lots of working out, eating out and even an escape from the city. Here’s what I learned: It’s fun to have you photo taken. I’m feeling summer via cravings for watermelon, beach time and ferns. I may make a book out of the engagement photos. Spring bedding is tricky.…

A beautiful book that combines gardening with design. So simple and fantastic for a mother’s day gift. Plus, I love the combination of nasturtiums with the bright orange binding.
