{I’m still crazy-itchy today, but here’s a what to wear post to tide you over.} The key to getting seated in a good row for a show taping? My guess would be bold colors in neutral, Peoria-friendly pieces. Here is Melissa’s request: My boyfriend and I found out we got tickets to the Ellen DeGeneres…

I spent yesterday afternoon at the doctor’s office having my spots examined from arms length. No official verdict yet. But my doctor is leaning toward some sort of children’s virus like roseola. After literally tossing a handful of Zyrtec samples at me and shooing me out of his office, I had to get six vials…

I loved my old purse, an ivory Michael Kors hobo, for many reasons. The built in key strap was one of my favorites. It was so nice to have my keys ready and clipped in whenever I needed them. After a year of city life, the poor purse was more than ready to be retired.…

This weekend started with an office party at Cha Cha Cha on Mission Street. Pitchers of sangria and plenty of calamari, not too shabby! Rob and I caught a cab home around 10 and turned in shortly thereafter. We woke up early on Saturday morning because Rob had to go to his NERT training. After…

Here is Griselda’s request: I’m emailing you because I am in need of outfit advice for my husband’s uncle’s wedding coming up in late October in Southern…

My birthday is still a healthy four weeks away, but I already have one thing picked out for my wishlist. This spider necklace from Betsey Johnson would be perfect for wearing around Halloween. The photo doesn’t really do it full justice.

If you were particularly clever, you could probably arrange to attend a free cocktail party every single night in San Francisco. There’s always an event planner or PR person somewhere with a bottle of champagne and a clipboard. Last night, Calie invited me to a Mont Blanc store opening reception co-sponsored by San Francisco Magazine…

San Francisco is such a fun city for visitors. Sandra is coming in October with a toddler and some big plans: Here is my fashion dilemma. I used to be a corporate-y type person, then went back to grad school to study psychology and now am the mom of a toddler. In 3 weeks I…
