The purge continues as we prepare for moving. I actually love the process of getting rid of stuff, so liberating.  Fortunately, all this coincides with a clothing swap party tomorrow night with Rebecca and others. I packed up a huge bag of sweaters, shoes, dresses and pants. I’m excited for a big fall shopping spree once…

San Francisco can be so hard sometimes. For example, when you’re shopping for an apartment and rents are at all-time highs. Or, when you’re struggling to figure out a way to walk to work that isn’t entirely full of terrible, poverty-filled blocks. But then the city makes up for it. Last night, Nicole and I…

Brrr…it was cold this weekend! With the fall temperatures and the awkward teenage stage of moving (too early to pack, too late to just ignore it), I spent most the weekend holed up inside.  So much for San Francisco’s late summer. Friday night, Rob and I watched a movie and ate leftover Chinese delivery. On…

We’re gearing up to move at the end of the month. Stay tuned for a preview of the new place! In the meantime, I want to pack in a couple parties as a final sendoff of our current loft (still pretty sad about having to leave). The Ladies Activity Club will be celebrating it’s 7th…

I would love to pick up a perfect tweed blazer for my fall wardrobe, inspired by 1970’s Diane Keaton style. So easy and warm over a pair of jeans or a pencil skirt – and so hard to find! 1. $249. This blazer from Club  Monaco is made from quality fabric with solid tailoring. 2.…

Rob and I are working on taking over a former colleague’s apartment in the Lower Haight. Until we know if that’s going to happen, there’s really no sense at looking at other apartments. So we got to take the weekend off! We went to Bike Party on Friday with a “Summer of Love” theme around…

Rents in San Francisco are hitting some crazy highs right now. The average for any apartment in the city is over $2,700 and to get a decent one bedroom in a downtown neighborhood is more like $3,500.  There’s a place across the street from us renting for $7,000. At that price, we can always pull an Eloise…

This weekend was pretty pitiful. We had planned to spend two days camping in Marin Headlands and then a relaxing Monday in the city…but that did not happen.  By Friday I had been feeling really ill with a stomach bug for a couple days (I think it was giardia) so we decided to push back…

Now that the San Francisco weather has returned to a normal summer 55 degrees with freezing wind, it’s a great time to visit the museums.  Rob and I went last night with Nicole to SFMOMA, they’re open late on Thursdays. The Cindy Sherman photography exhibit was interesting, all about the power you have over your…

The final post about Sayulita!  You can see all our photos from the trip online here. Our hotel was so lovely!  Villa Amor is the larger/fancier hotel in town.  Our room got moved at the last minute, which stressed me out, but the result was an upgrade to a suite (Villa Serena) with a kitchen,…
