(Update: It’s the 12th not the 13th, sorry to throw you off) Picture this…It’s 9-ish and I’m dragging home from a very long day. 12+ hours of the hardest business meetings I’ve ever been in. Meetings consisting of me, 17 men in suits and one other woman who compensated for her lack of a Y…

I’m in strenuous business meetings in Chinatown (of all places) all day. Back soon!

I’ve found my Nanette Lepore dress online. Isn’t it gorgeous? It’s called “Capriccio ” and fits me like a glove. With black tights and pumps, it will be perfect for my office holiday party on Friday. And I love it even more because I got it for about half off the posted discount price.

Our weekend started Friday night with a cheese and meat platter and a rental, Angel-a, from Blockbuster. This French black and white film is pretty incredible. Later that night, we had a nice Italian dinner at a place I’ve always wanted to try down the street called Capri. On Saturday, it was bright and sunny…

I love our annual tradition of going to get a Christmas tree. First, we rearrange all the furniture in the living room to make a spot. Then, we walk our trolley (good holiday gift idea for dads and significant others) down the street to the Delancey lot on Market and Church Street. This sunken lot…

I seem to have struck a nerve with yesterday’s post about “statement” shoes that you love, but can’t figure out what to wear with. It’s a common problem and I’ve got a few more requests. Here is Megan’s dilemma: I love that you give style advice, because I (always) need it badly. My ability to…

Rob and I braved the rainstorm last night to attend the ReadyMade winter ball. Loads of crafters with tables set up, a tamale lady, a DJ, and full bar…all the ingredients for a successful San Francisco event!

Isn’t it tricky when you get a pair of shoes you love and then can’t think what to wear them with. Here is Nicole’s request: I love your blog! I was hoping you could help me with a fall shoe dilemma. I love these green shoes, but I don’t know what to wear with them.…

No festive holiday activities to report from last night, unless you count going to the climbing gym and getting Mediterranean take-out as a holiday tradition. So today’s advent calender photo comes from my walk to work instead. This Mexican restaurant is on on the corner of 14th and Mission. They optimistically open around 8 am…

I have a pair of “martha” green gardening boots that were given to me for my birthday a few years ago and that I wear in public with slightly alarming regularity. (do you remember the incredible Martha Stewart catalog?) The rubber is getting tired but they’re still perfect for rainy weekends and trips to the…
