I fell hard for this Pacific Northwest house featured in the NY Times on Sunday. And just when I was thinking my own cement, ivory and black living room was too bland. The slate gray velvet couch is amazing. And the framed photos way up by the ceiling with sconces underneath…love. Not to mention that…

Thanks to Susan’s generosity with leftover supplies from her October Ladies Activity Club – I now have a lovely home bar on top of the camp desk. Susan taught us how to make all kinds of classic cocktails at the party – margaritas, mojitos, gimlets and martinis – with her pro bartending skills. I haven’t…

This song has been stuck in my head ever since it played on an episode of Bones and the video is pretty cute. Along with other musky-classics from Bon Iver and Ray LaMontagne, this is a good one to add to your fall playlist.

I spotted the window display at Zara from across the street on Sunday, dashed over and spent the next two hours swooning over their fall collection. It is a veritable sea of camel, plaid, wool, tailoring, belted dresses, chunky sweaters, hats, booties, corduroy and elbow patches. Everything goes with everything and it’s all gorgeous. Seriously…

My parents gave me a lovely gold necklace from Kate Spade for my birthday last week. It’s just exactly the right length, weight, formality – everything! I’ve already worn it to the opera and to work.

Sorry for another quick drop off the radar. I’m having one of those city weeks…a different restaurant ever night, lots of work. I love eating out but could really do for a night at home in my pajamas. Maybe Saturday? We went out Tuesday night to Tadich Grill with a fabulous old friend from Santa…

Woo hoo! A good old fashioned ticker tape parade is on for tomorrow morning in celebration of the Giants winning the World Series. There should really be far more parades on Wednesday mornings.

The Black & White Ghouls Ball was so much fun! So much, in fact, that most of my photos from the night are blurry! I’ll do my best: Decorations: A canopy of black and white streamers, skeleton picado garlands, twinkle lights, white tablecloths, silver candelabras, black rats in white bows, white porcelain bust in a…
