I’m dedicating this week to my favorite show of the summer: Mary Tyler Moore! I’ve been watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show on Hulu. So charming, funny and lovely! And it just so happens to perfectly coincide with a 70’s fashion revival for the fall.

I spent Friday at work volunteering, vigorously landscaping a vegetable garden for a children’s community center. By the time I got back to the office and through the company Oktoberfest party, I was pretty spent. Rob and I walked to the cinema and saw The Guard. Good movie! Lazy day on Saturday. Rob left early…

Cara has a big month ahead of her and needs help finding a dress: Next month I’ll be traveling from New York (my home) to Illinois for my high school reunion, then from there to Minneapolis for a business conference where I’ll be presenting a paper, and then directly to Malibu for my cousin’s wedding.…

Natalie wrote in with a What to Wear request for her busy work life: I have a question. I’m headed to Montreal and Germany for 4 weeks for a work trip, both trips I am really excited for but I leave straight from Canada to Germany, so I have to pack for everything at once.…

This was a very leisurely weekend – exactly what I needed before crazy-work September officially starts. On Friday, Rob and I worked late and came home to relax. We bought a new juicer and went through a couple pounds of nectarines trying it out. Yum, delicious results! Saturday, Rob and I got up early to…

Enjoy your 3-day weekend! Rob and I are staying in town, with a quick jaunt down south to sit by the pool and have breakfast in bed. I plan to wear maxi dresses and eat onion dip. Summer is just starting here in the city…and not a moment too soon! Pool inspiration from TakeSunset

I’ve started riding Butterlap each Wednesday night with Rob on the tandem. It’s a 17 mile loop around the city, starting at the Ferry Building, running through Crissy Field to Baker Beach, Legion of Honor and then Ocean Beach before heading home. Most days I’m reticent to getting on the bike, preferring to stay comfortably…

Margaret and I worked on inspiration boards for our friend Jackie’s wedding last night. They’re planning to get married at the Shakespeare Garden and then have a traditional Chinese banquet at a nearby restaurant. She suggested yellow and Tiffany blue as colors and the restaurant is decidedly pink inside…voila! Clockwise from Left: Yellow Chinese porcelain…

Rob’s parents came to town this weekend for a visit to mark the end of summer and track some birds. We started out on Friday night with dinner at Plant, a great waterside restaurant for visitors. Very foggy ferry ride out to the island. We started our hike on the south side and got a…

Wild Target isn’t much of a movie, pretty silly overall. But the costumes for Emily Blunt’s character are wonderful! Opaque tights, bright skirts, lovely pumps and lots of floral, leather, fringe and embroidered details. It’s basically my dream wardrobe. Watch the movie on Netflix and take notes for a very British fall.
