This Australian bridal magazine is my new favorite! Glossy pages filled with elegant ideas in a nice small size. In the issue I received, they’ve got fun bridesmaid outfit ideas, an amazing hair inspiration that I’ll post later and pull out worksheets in the back that you actually want to use. I don’t know if…

Since everyone else is sharing their Earth Day eco tips today, I thought I would too. Rob and I try to be environmentally friendly and San Francisco makes it easy. We only drive once a week. Eat vegetarian mostly. Recycle. Drink tap water. Use reusable grocery bags. Special light bulbs. Buy organics. Yada, yada, yada.…

Wearing a trench coat always makes me feel so put together. It doesn’t matter if you’re just wearing a tee, jeans and sneakers underneath, you’ll still look sharp. My new favorite trench is this navy blue version from Tulle. They carry it at Therapy here in the Bay Area, so my friend Margaret hooked me…

That catchy little song from the last scene of Juno is our newest ukulele and bass mega-hit! Rob and I learned it on Sunday…super easy and fun for making up new lyrics as you go. It’s Anything Else by the Moldy Peaches.

Have you checked out the EmilyStyle Tag Sale yet? I’ve already sold one of the dresses, so my first foray into eBay selling isn’t a total wash. There are still some great items for sale. One piece that I love is the pink ballerina sweater. It would be so easy to put together a stylish…

My sister is about to finish the Boston Marathon. She signed me up for an email tracker, so I’ve been watching her times all morning. Running an average 8 minute mile for 26 miles? She’s nuts! She’ll be finishing in the next hour with a time around 3 hours and 30 minutes. I hope she…

The weather this weekend was the absolute pits. It looked sunny and warm but the temperatures never got above 55 degrees and we had 50 mph winds. Yuck. Apologies to Amy who is visiting this week. On Friday, our friend picked us up from work at 5:30. Drinks at his apartment in Russian Hill before…

I’m holding my first ever tag sale online! All next week, I’ll be highlighting pieces up for sale on eBay. There’s a DVF wrap dress, a cocktail dress perfect for a formal wedding, cashmere sweaters, Theory trousers and more! Both from my own collection and from a couple of my super-stylish friends. Sizes 0 through…

This week has been so disjointed. Although, I greatly like the concept of having Wednesdays off. Here’s what I learned this week: San Francisco heat waves can end suddenly. I’m a really good walker. I love the satisfaction of walking to something that is far away and not being dependent on a car or train.…

Amy wrote in with this question: My husband and I are heading to SF this weekend for the web 2.0 conference. We’ve only been to San Francisco once (for our honeymoon – LOVED IT). This time we wanted to try some spots that aren’t as “touristy”. We’re spending a few days in Sausalito to see…
