Yearly Archives: 2013

A bike party, a birthday party, a massive craft project and the start of a New Year – this was quite a weekend! Rob and I went out to Bike Party on Friday night with stops at Fort Mason, Pier 14 and Portsmouth Square. The city was so pretty all decked out in red and…

Spring officially starts for me with the Chinese New Year flower fair! This weekend all of Chinatown will be filled with orchids, plum blossom branches, orange trees, paperwhites, chrysanthemums and other “auspicious” flowers designed to bring luck in the year ahead. Next thing you know, it will be time for Bouquets to Art, the Big Bang…

This was such a fun weekend!  You simply can’t go wrong when you go out Friday to see a huge amount of tap dancing.  We paired up with our friends Greg and Kevin to see Anything Goes at the Golden Gate Theater. Fantastic cast, music and dancing. I’ve had Cole Porter songs stuck in my…

I wore a version of this outfit to work on Wednesday. The idea was to tone down the metallic Tory Burch skirt I got for $50 at Neiman Marcus with a more-casual gold sweater. The final result was not muted…but definitely fun! Sweater -A chunky modern sweater with a light gold finish. Skirt – The…

Tiny floral arrangements are my favorite kind. My mom is so good about placing nosegays in the house when guests are around. Amazing how a few flowers on the bathroom counter makes your welcome special!  These were made with leftovers from the baby shower.

Coming home to a super dark kitchen in January isn’t great – but the blooming bowl of paperwhites from Margaret makes all the difference!

I’m really enjoying all my new fancy (and majorly on-sale) work clothes from Neiman Marcus. A particular favorite is a standout pair of wool trousers in peacock from Phillip Lim. Paired with a classic camel coat and black turtleneck, it’s a timeless power outfit for the office. Sweater – A basic black turtleneck from Macy’s…

This was one of those cold, crisp, sunny weekends that defines San Francisco in the winter. Brr..maybe a tad bit colder than usual. Rob and I were absolute sloths on Friday and Saturday.  He was recovering from a rough week with a major work deadline and a bad cold.  The fact that we’re still camping…
