I’m back from the quick trip to Kauai! More details tomorrow, but it was overall very lovely. We swam, snorkled, surfed, stand up paddle-boarded, hiked, kayaked and explored for four days (and I managed to wear all six of my maxi dresses). Pictured here: my favorite beach of the trip, Tunnels, at the very north…

A week from now, I’ll be on the beach! I’ve stocked up on maxi dresses, loaded up the Kindle with Hawaiian books and packed up lots of sunblock. Here’s one outfit I’d love to wear in Hawaii: Dress – Forever 21 has the best maxi dress selection. You can’t fight it! Sweater – A little…

Nothing better than an unseasonable, freezing cold rainstorm to make you ready for a tropic vacation! While I’m layering on scarves and packing for Hawaii – I’ve also been inspired to visit Indian Springs in Calistoga once we’re back. That vintage style! Those shady ponds! Dreamy.

This was a fun, strange weekend. On Friday, Rob and I watched a movie at home with a big plate of homemade nachos. On Saturday morning, we were super lazy. Spicy egg tacos, coffee and cleaning house. At lunch, we took the tandem bike out with Rob’s new cart for some errands. To an amazing…

First baseball game of the season! In true Giants spirit, it was pretty cold – puffy jacket, scarf and gloves required toward the end. But the weather was nice enough for some drinks on the patio with co-workers before the first pitch.

I’m daydreaming today about a month vacation at this stone cottage in Kefalonia, Greece. Blue shutters, blue painted floors, citrus trees and ocean views. Have you read “My Family and other Animals?” Doesn’t this looks like just the place for a Durrell family adventure?

In San Francisco, it rarely gets that warm – so summer clothes are usually just sweaters in lighter colors. Zara has a great selection of loose summer knits, like this off-white sweater that would be great with a pencil skirt or wide leg trousers.

Another quiet weekend. Rob and I had some recovery to do from the many events of the week. Plus, windy cold weather made it a pain to spend much time outside. We left a party at my office on Friday night for some rapping at home on the Xbox. Saturday morning, I slept in and…

Last night’s Big Bang gala at the Academy of Sciences was a blast! I didn’t take my camera, figuring there would be a million photos online to share with you today…but no luck just yet. It was a Gatti affair, always amazing. He created an astroturf “red carpet” with waiters passing out champagne on the…

This was an easy, tasty weeknight dinner with flavors that reminded me so much of the green chili in Santa Fe. Green Chili Tacos For two 1/3 lb of lean ground turkey 1 cup of white beans or black eyed peas 3/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped 1/4 cup of fresh oregano, chopped 1/2 small…
