One my favorite scores from last weekend’s shopping bonanza! This DVF Cassidy jersey wrap dress is simple enough for work and can easily be dressed up for dinner out or even a wedding. I wore it Monday with a black trench for my DMV appointment and photo. The dress retails for $300+, I found it…

Nicole and I both fell in love with these flats at Nordstrom Rack. She got a pair in gray and I bought a pair in purple for $39 each. I’ve admired Nine West’s Gain flats since I saw someone wearing a pair in green crocodile with jeans a few months back. The buckle is fun…

Of all the requests I get, I am most consistently stumped by formal and semiformal weddings. Largely, because they’re super rare out here in California. I just don’t get how to do formal without looking like a bridesmaid or prom date. Here is Ann’s request: I am attending my cousin’s wedding in Cleveland in early…

Along with my super discounted Joe’s Jeans from Nordstrom Rack, I also bought a pair at Macy’s with the Passport discount. I think they were Citizens of Humanity Ingrid #002 jeans in the Big Sur wash. The dark color is perfect (none of that weird “I sat in bleach” like Seven Jeans) and they have…

Yikes, I just took a look at my credit card bill after this weekend’s shopping marathon. I’m not going to be buying any new clothes for at least a couple weeks. In the meantime, I’m trying to find links to some of my favorite purchases. These Easy Spirit suede wedges are so adorable and really,…

Even by my crazy standards, this was a jam-packed weekend. Nicole arrived in the city at 5:30, just as it started to rain (so much for my prediction that the storm had passed). We drove home and finished the last of the party prep. LAC guests arrived at 7:00. After drinks and food, we got…

I’m at the DMV this morning. Be back soon 🙂

Summer is back in San Francisco after our brief winter preview. It’s shaping up to be a very nice weekend. A nice relief after a busy week. Here’s what I learned: You can’t just wear any old thing to an engagement photo shoot. A big wind storm is sort of scary at four in the…

I’m swamped today! But not too busy to remind you that the Macy’s Passport Sale is coming up tomorrow in the Bay Area. Combined with the fall sale, you can save 60-70% on almost everything in the store. If you have any need to buy clothes, shoes or housewares, this is really a can’t-miss sale!…

There are many reasons why I’m glad I have 12+ months to plan the wedding. One of the best is that I get to have a test run this fall. It could have been a fiasco. I forgot that the date I originally chose for the wedding – October 4, 2008 – just so happens…
