A much needed mellow weekend! Hawaii and the following two days of email avalanche at work had both Rob and I feeling super tired. Friday, a party at work with a Russian theme gave an early start to the weekend. Pizza and a movie at home after. Saturday, something of a wash. There was unexpected…

Our vacation rental was in Hanalei, a tiny town at the north end of the island. Very “Big Sur” in culture – a little bit hippie, a little bit fancy, some farms, a lot of ocean. The house we rented was a breezy 3 bedroom just a block from the water and a block from…

Thank you Rebecca for the lovely photos and write-up of the earthquake memorial party in April. We look quite cozy all packed around the candlelit table!

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.
