Another exciting September trip to dress for, this time Paris with Ann: I am going to Paris for the first time in late September. Shortly after that we are going to Lisbon (work trips for my husband — la la, what a life!). I am badly in need of wardrobe revamping, as I work from…

Here’s a fun request from Mandy: What to wear to a late September wedding in London? My brother-in-law is getting married in the afternoon at a church with a reception to follow at a classy hotel in Mayfair. I want to look chic and put-together, but not fussy or formal. I live in the country…

Wow. This city is a knock-out when summer finally arrives. I always seem to forget how a few degrees and a little sun can be such a powerful a force for good. The streets are full of sundresses, ice cream, picnics and laughter. Foggy temperatures in the low 50’s from a few days ago are…

I confess, I like teen jeans. I’ve done the expensive designer pairs – sevens, citizens, AGs – and I keep coming back to Levi’s juniors as my favorites. I just picked up two more at Macy’s on Saturday. For a mere $31 each, I have a new skinny black pair that is smoking hot with…

This weekend was full of friends and families – and even a little warm weather. On Friday night, Rob and I rode the tandem bike out to Cole Valley to see our friend Jill & Peter’s new home. A great flat with a deck perfect for BBQs! (top and last photo from Rob’s wrongbike.com) Out…

It’s a very exciting time in the city for bike riders. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition just won a long legal battle and is kicking off a massive installation of safe, fast bike routes across the city. Rob and I were invited to attended a kick-off fundraiser for these new lanes on Thursday night. So…

What happened to this week?! Oh, right. Lady Gaga, friends moving away (nooo!) and a crazy, but exciting amount of work. If the cold weather continues this weekend, I’m tempted to decamp to the Marine Memorial Club. A friend who is a veteran recently introduced me to this hidden gem in the city. A club,…

Oh jeeze! Last night’s Gaga show was wild, and I didn’t get home until 1am last night. Very late for a school night! We had an awesome spot at the show about 10 people back from the end of the catwalk stage. There was lots of rocking out, showing your “paws” (pictured), flaming pianos and…

My summer concert series continues tonight with Lady Gaga down in San Jose. A bunch of us from the office bought tickets back in Q1. My homemade costume (pink wig, black nails, big accessories) is nowhere near as good as those featured on Glee last season.

Fun weekend! Outside Lands is a great summer tradition. Quiet night on Friday. I made a pasta dinner and Rob and I rested up for the weekend ahead. Early start on Saturday morning. Just enough time for some coffee before having to catch the bus out to Golden Gate Park. I volunteered with the SFBC…
